BEIJING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- "Fearless Whispers," a spy thriller starring popular young actor Li Yifeng, is currently the most popular Chinese-language TV series, according to review platform Douban.

Released on Nov. 6 on China Central Television, as well as on online streaming platforms, the show topped Douban's weekly popularity ranking for Chinese-language TV series, according to the latest ranking results.

"Fearless Whispers" currently boasts a rating of 8.2 out of 10 on Douban, based on more than 40,000 reviews.
