The wedding of Esther Yu and He Yu is currently going viral across China, with countless viewers calling it “the coolest wedding of 2025,” praising its perfect blend of romance and rebellion. After nearly a month on air, Speed and Love officially came to an end with a finale that left audiences weak at the knees: the long-awaited wedding of Jin Zhao (He Yu) and Jiang Mu (Esther Yu). As soon as the final episode aired, the wedding scene spread at lightning speed across Chinese social media platforms, quickly becoming one of the most shared drama moments of the moment.
On her big day, Jiang Mu appeared in a bridal look that felt both familiar and boldly unconventional. The wedding dress paired with a long veil evoked a fairytale atmosphere, while the short skirt added a playful, modern edge that perfectly matched her character. Esther Yu’s sweet yet radiant visuals drew endless praise, with many commenting that she looked “like a princess stepping straight out of a manga.” Meanwhile, He Yu’s Jin Zhao was just as eye-catching in a sharp suit and dark sunglasses, exuding a cool charisma that had fans swooning the moment he appeared on screen.
The excitement did not stop there. The scene of the newlyweds riding off together on a motorcycle after the ceremony sent the internet into a frenzy. Many viewers agreed that this was “the most stylish on-screen wedding of 2025,” romantic yet rebellious, and a perfect reflection of Speed and Love’s spirit from start to finish.
The drama is adapted from the novel of the same name by Shi Jiu Yuan and tells the story of two non-blood-related siblings, Jiang Mu (Esther Yu) and Jin Zhao (He Yu). Tragedy strikes when they are separated while Jiang Mu is only nine years old. Nine years later, they reunite when she turns eighteen and face a series of challenges together, pursuing their individual dreams while trying to heal a deep bond torn apart by time and fate.
Despite some controversy surrounding certain plot points, Speed and Love stood out thanks to several strong elements, most notably Esther Yu’s acting transformation. She shed her familiar sweet image to portray a colder, darker, and emotionally wounded Jiang Mu, earning praise for adding depth and freshness to her performance. He Yu was also well received for his balanced chemistry with his co-star, particularly in intense racing scenes and underground fight sequences set in Thailand, which gave the drama a stronger, more dynamic edge compared to typical idol romances.
Ending with a wedding that was both visually stunning and emotionally explosive, Speed and Love left a lasting impression on viewers. That unforgettable final scene may well be the moment that secures the drama a memorable place in Chinese television history in 2025.
