Synopsis
"One and Only" (热烈, 2023) is a Chinese street-dance drama you can watch online on iFILM. Young dancer Chen Shuo has the moves but nothing else — no connections, no training background, no way in. A chance meeting lands him in front of Ding Lei, the former driving force behind the celebrated "Exclamation Mark" crew, who is willing to take him on despite serious doubts.
Huang Bo plays the veteran coach as a man whose competitive fire has burned down to embers — sharp eyes still intact, ego mostly gone. Wang Yibo in the lead is an actual street dancer, which makes every training sequence feel honest rather than staged. Directed by Dong Chengpeng, the film knows that the best underdog stories are really about two underdogs. Stream "One and Only" online on iFILM.
