Hit Chinese shows gain popularity in overseas markets

TV series in demand among audiences throughout Southeast Asia and elsewhere, Deng Zhangyu reports.

Komin Aoudomphan went to great lengths to discover the reason for a bomb explosion on a bus in the Chinese suspense series Reset.

He spent a day and a night going without sleep to view the 15-episode drama in Bangkok earlier this year, when it became a hit in Thailand.

"All my friends talked about the plots. The lead actor and actress in the series are charming and attractive," said Aoudomphan, who works at TrueID, a popular online video platform in Thailand.

TrueID introduced Reset to Thailand from China at the start of this year.
