8 Rosefinch character visuals drop as Chinese mystery thriller gets premiere date

Just a week after revealing a ‘mystery poster’ to fans, Chinese suspense thriller Rosefinch has now dropped eight character visuals for the drama’s main characters.

Along with the visuals, we also finally got the C-drama’s premiere date — July 4th, 2025 on iQIYI.

And yes, this is a mini drama as, while it does have 30 episodes, each one is only 15 minutes in length. Perfect for taking a break from those overly long 40-episode C-dramas, eh?

Rosefinch character visuals feature main cast in two separate settings

The eight Rosefinch character visuals were released this morning via two different iQIYI Weibo posts.

One set of visuals has the C-drama’s main characters dressed in clothing appropriate for the goings on at the dance halls of the debauched Shanghai Bund, where the double murder that begins the story takes place.

The second set has them in the more somber clothing that are appropriate for investigations.

The message that accompanied the first set of more decadent Rosefinch character visuals (see all 4 visuals above) commented:

Rosefinch Release Date

The glitzy and decadent Shanghai Bund has crushed countless distant dreams—now, the flames of darkness are about to descend!

Wan Qi An (@万茜), Qin Jun Jie (@秦俊杰), Lin Le Xuan (@林乐炫), and Zhang Cheng (@张呈Zhc) can rise from the ashes amidst the chaos?

July 4th at 12 PM, exclusively on Tencent Video #ShortDrama# for its global premiere. Stay tuned!

while the comment with the second set of visuals (see all 4 below) said:

The “Under the Red Spider Lilies” key art is now revealed—the glamour of Shanghai Bund is shrouded in gloom, as crime lurks in the shadows.

Wan Qi An, Qin Jun Jie, Lin Le Xuan, and Zhang Cheng are plunged into a blood-red vortex, unraveling a sinister case.

What earth-shattering conspiracy lies behind it all?

Mark your calendars for July 4th at 12 PM (Beijing Time), as the cast in this one is excellent, and it looks like it could be an exciting murder mystery that doesn’t require a massive time commitment.
