Spy Hunter 天衣无缝 is a 50-episode Chinese drama adapted from the novel Gui Wan Ri Ji by Zhang Yong 张勇. Back in 2015, Disguiser, also written by Zhang Yong, started a wave of idol-led suspense thrillers like Sparrow and Rookie Agent Rouge. This year, it’s Spy Hunter’s turn to bring us back to where it all started as it takes place in the same universe as The Disguiser’s 1940’s era of spies.



It starts with the shocking murder of a woman in red. She is the younger sister of a powerful military general yet her real identity is a mystery even to her closest family. Zi Liping (Qin Junjie) puts a plan in motion to force Gui Wan’s brother Gui Yi (Hu Haifeng) to dig for the truth in order to lure out the traitor that killed Gui Wan. In the process, Zi Liping himself falls deeper into the political conspiracies that are taking place.


It is led by Qin Junjie (Peace in Palace, Peace in Chang An), Xu Lu (Prince Coffee Lab) and Hu Hai Feng (Legend of Wu Le) with a special appearance by Lu Yi (Blind Date). It also stars Zhang Zhixi (My Naughty Classmates), Zhugang Riyao (Love Actually), and Monica Mo Xiaoqi (Beautiful Trainee).


With a high rating for the past spy shows, this drama might come below expectations or surpass them. I hope it’s the latter.
Release Date: January 10, 2019 Jiangsu TV, Zhejiang TV (two episodes daily 7:30pm), episodes online Youku, Tencent, iQIYI, Mango TV 10pm
