The One

At 17 years old, as the only hearing member in her hearing-impaired family, the girl has long navigated between her family's silent world and the outside world of sound, growing accustomed to serving as both bridge and interpreter. Their love and dependence entwine her like creeping vines, yet within her heart rages a fierce flame of longing for a broader world. An unexpected upheaval forces Yu Yan to confront the dilemma between pursuing her dreams and protecting her family. Through the crucible of growing pains, she begins to carve her own path while seeking a melody she can share with those she loves.

Directed by Mu Wang, The One leans on a strong ensemble — Zhang Jingyi, Chen Minghao, Jiang Qinqin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
