The journey for Nie Xiguang and Lin Yusen reaches its peak today. The final six episodes of the popular Chinese drama Shine on Me are now available for streaming, bringing the story to a close. Fans who have followed the show since its December 2025 debut can now see if the central couple gets their happy ending after months of emotional twists. However, when and where you can watch these crucial episodes depends on your chosen streaming platform, with a significant schedule split between services.
For viewers on WeTV and iQIYI, the complete series finale dropped all at once. All six episodes—31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36—were released on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, at 5:00 AM Eastern Time. These platforms offer the episodes with English subtitles and high-definition video quality. In contrast, Netflix and Rakuten Viki are following a different, slower release pattern. These services are adding just one episode per day, meaning subscribers will not see the full conclusion until later this week. This split has created a unique situation where a large portion of the audience is finishing the story while others are still waiting.
Where to Watch the Shine on Me Finale Globally
Access to the Shine on Me finale requires a subscription on all major platforms after an initial number of free episodes. For viewers around the world, here is a detailed breakdown of where to find the show:
- WeTV and iQIYI: These are the primary platforms for the drama. They released all six finale episodes simultaneously at 5:00 AM ET on January 6. This is the fastest way to watch the complete ending.
- Netflix: The global streaming giant has the series available in its library. However, it is following a daily release schedule for the finale batch, so the last episode will not be available immediately.
- Rakuten Viki: Similar to Netflix, Viki is also releasing one episode per day for the finale. The platform has listed Shine on Me among the top Chinese dramas of 2025.
The show stars Zhao Jinmai as Nie Xiguang and Song Weilong as Lin Yusen, whose chemistry has been a major highlight for fans. The supporting cast includes Lai Weiming.
Recap of Episodes 29-30: Setting the Stage for the End
The final episodes build directly on major developments from the previous chapters. In Episodes 29 and 30, Xiguang had a serious talk with her mother about her parents’ divorce, learning that her father, Mr. Nei, was responsible for the marriage ending. Her relationship with Lin Yusen continued to grow stronger. He introduced her to professors with whom he plans to conduct a medical study, signaling his return to his original career in medicine.
A significant moment came when Xiguang’s former crush, Zhuang Xu, confronted her. She firmly told him that he never made real efforts for her and that she is now with the man who truly loves her. The episodes ended with Xiguang receiving a promising call from her aunt about a potential investment for their company’s photovoltaic garden project.

What to Expect in the Final Episodes 31-36
The finale promises to deliver long-awaited happy moments for Xiguang and Yusen, but not without first navigating serious family drama. The central couple is expected to tie the knot, offering fans the wedding moments they have been hoping for.
However, the path to the altar will be rocky. The main conflict revolves around Xiguang’s father, Mr. Nei. He is in debt to people from his hometown, which leads to significant trouble. The situation escalates to the point where he is hospitalized, and when he learns the police were involved, he wrongly suspects his own daughter of being responsible.
Additional turmoil comes from Mr. Nei’s goddaughter and her mother. They invested money expecting good returns, but it appears they may have fallen victim to another scam, adding financial strain to the family dynamics. Throughout this, Xiguang and Yusen will be working to complete the company’s key PV garden project, which is linked to Yusen’s planned return to the medical field.
Early reactions to the finished story have begun to surface. One viewer described the finale on social media, noting, “After 36 episodes, Shine on Me finally lets Lin Yusen and Nie Xiguang lay down their emotional battles,” and called the ending under the cherry blossoms a moment of “quiet understanding, healing, and love that found its right timing”.
