Michelle Topham July 6, 2025

The Narcotic Operation 1 million reservations celebratory poster

A new celebratory poster has been released for crime drama The Narcotic Operation, which stars Duan Yi Hong (The Future Handbook) and Qin Hao (In the Name of the Brother).

The poster announces The Narcotic Operation has exceeded 1 million reservations on Tencent Video, with a confirmation of the Chinese drama’s director, co-director and screenwriter, and the comment:

#TheNarcoticOperation Surpasses 1 Million Reservations#

Greed breeds evil, and the haze of crime obscures the path ahead.
Yet through the fog, some press forward—cutting off the poison at its roots, restoring clarity to the world.

Screenwriter: Chen Yu Xin
Director: Wu Bai (Walk the Line)
Co-Director: Lin Shui Jing (Royal Fox)

#TheNarcoticOperation# More to come—stay tuned @Tencent Video!
Reserve now on Tencent!

It follows on from another poster that was released just two days ago, when the C-drama hit 500,000 reservations.

So, yep, over half a million more people have reserved The Narcotic Operation in the last two days alone.
