In recent days, the list of "Flop (failed) TV series of 2025" has become a topic of discussion for Chinese audiences. Accordingly, Douban users - social networks and a large online database that allows evaluating and commenting on movies and artworks - have voted for the top 30 failed films.
The list is even highly searched on the Weibo platform. There is much controversy surrounding the names appearing in the top 30, because fans of the actors believe that this is just a subjective perspective of a group of people, not representing the entire audience.
Accordingly, "Tai nhan gian" by Trieu Le Dinh and Doan Phuong topped the list. The film was not highly appreciated for its content, and the visual effects part also received many criticisms from the public.
Although highly anticipated, when aired, "Tai nhan gian" did not attract a lot of discussion, receiving little attention. The average estimated viewership of the film was only 8.89 million/episode.
The next positions in the top 10 films rated as failure are "Thuy long ngam" (La Van Hi), "Thien dia kiem tam" (Thanh Nghi), "Kieu khoi thanh nhuong" (Dich Le Nhiet Ba), "Truong An 24 ke" (Thanh Nghi), "Song quy" (Ngu Thu Han), "Nhan sinh neu nhu lan dau gap go" (Ly Hien), "Ve thoi nao! Thieu nu truyen tranh" (Tham Nguyet), "Anh dao ho phach" (Trieu Kim Mach), "Son ha cham" (Tong Thien).
Besides Zhao Liying, some famous "85 Little Stars" also have works belonging to the most unsuccessful group in 2025. Examples include Angelababy (Mountain of Medium-Sized Photos), Liu Shishi (Heart-to-Heart), Tang Yan (No Comparison).
Some large-investment films, which were highly appreciated by experts, also appeared on the list because they did not achieve the expected broadcasting efficiency. Typical examples include "A Xa" by Cao Vy Quang, "Fabric Advances Truong An" by Loi Giai Am, "The Age of Practice" by Tong To Nhi.
The series of works considered the most failed in 2025 are mainly adapted from famous romance novels. Despite the presence of famous actors and a good production team, the quality of the film does not meet the requirements of the audience.
