The Awakening wraps filming – Zhang Kang Le and Zhou Jie Qiong drama drops wrap photos of cast

Michelle Topham August 2, 2025

After kicking off filming in June, upcoming Tencent mini drama The Awakening wrapped its filming today.

Wrap photos of Zhang Kang Le, Zhou Jie Qiong and the other main and lead cast members dropped via Tencent Video’s Weibo channel this morning right after the closing ceremony was held.

The nine wrap photos of the cast were released with each actor being named, and their Weibo account tagged, along with the message:

#The Awakening Wraps Filming#

Storms overturn past grudges and favors,
As the light fades, the truth slowly emerges.

#Drama The Awakening# Wrapping production—best wishes!

Looking forward to meeting again! @四十七官微 (The drama’s official Weibo account)

Starring: Zhang Kang Le (@张康乐), Zhou Jie Qiong (@周洁琼JIE), Simon Yam (@任達華) and Yan An (@颜安YA)
Special Appearances: Zhang Meng (@张萌) Ming Dao (@明道)
Co-Starring: Zhao Wei (@赵魏_), Tian Lei (@田雷), Cai Lu (@演员蔡鹭)

With the Chinese drama being only 12 episodes, the filming period for the series was also quite short.

It kicked off on June 5th and wrapped up just over eight weeks later in August.

The Awakening plot

The drama is set in the fictional city of Wangcheng, and revolves around the fantasy adventure story of an amnesiac “47” who awakens his memories and uncovers past secrets while helping his companions escape from evil forces in a sewer environment.

Enjoy the just-released wrap ceremony photos of The Awakening cast.
