The most unbelievably beautiful smile I’ve ever seen. His character in Moon Embracing the Sun single-handedly altered the way I see and value side characters because some of them, if written well and acted well, have the crazy power to change or faithfully push the plot of a story in a better direction. That’s how great of an actor he was. Back then, like more than 10 years ago, my siblings and I had just started watching dramas, and after watching his acting in METS and having many heated discussions about his character, we decided to create a whole category to group these scene stealers who were uninvolved in any love triangle or love interest but they were so supportive, loyal, skilled, kind, and respectful to the main characters that just their presence in any scene made you wish they also received credit for the victories or have their own love arc and attention. We named this group of characters “Woons” after his character Jae Woon. We love these kind of characters so much mostly because they’re unproblematic and lovable. I think in honor of him, we shall now change the group name to “Jae Rims” or “Rims”.
A lot of annoying but quick misunderstandings stemming from assumptions but later they come full circle. overall…
My mini theory for the ending is that after surviving from the gun shot (probably a bullet proof vest) he decided to secretly find the original opium sources to get rid of them and that’s why their town has been experiencing peace for the past 4 years. He’s only able to come back because he finished his solo mission. I love happy endings. :)

Storyline and script was kinda eh angsty. But finished and enjoyed it because the cast was really good. The expressions and chemistry between them all were on point and they’re all so young and fairy-like beautiful.
I just saw a clip of over an hour where a deaf/mute woman finds and helps a blind man, brother Xiu I think. For…
OMG THIS LITERALLY JUST HAPPENED TO ME A FEW MINUTES AGO. I’m so sad I got invested thinking she was going to fall in love with Brother xiu but it turns out he’s just the second lead? :( I guess I’ll have to watch the whole thing to find out. I feel strangely comforted that i’m not the only one who experienced this. I feel scammed by youtube.
I love how the Director kept posting behind the scenes clips even after it was done airing just to remind us how wonderful this season and cast was<3 I’m in the mood to rewatch today :)!
Just finished rewatching this for the 5th time. I literally only have a subscription to iQIYI just to rewatch Crush. A total masterpiece. The main cast’s sincere emotions portrayed so perfectly that they really brought the novel’s characters alive. And the OST so gorgeous and alluring which matched the peaceful and healing themed cinematography with a lovely rainy day color palette . There were scenes where they were just speaking with their eyes and after reading the novel, and rewatching the drama, it was like another experience because the actors really portrayed the inner dialogue of their thoughts so skillfully. Thank you for letting me find you Crush team!
