Just some thoughts and spoilers for ep 41-42. So you've been forewarned. Don't read on if you don't want to know!
Do you mind if I ask for a summary of the full conversation between Hao Du and Leyan when she goes to his room after the fight? I'm dying to know what he said and she said! Thanks a million in advance!!!
This page and these comments are a balm to my soul. So glad the episodes are coming out in 12 hr and 28 minutes.…
From Tuesday to Sunday, it's difficult to wait for the next episodes, but at least we have something to look forward to. How are we going to fill the void once this drama ends though?????
Some are voting it down, and commenting negatively on Chang Ge Xing, because the love storyline isn't STRONG.…
"One of the charms, is that the love story is downplayed, happens in-between the lines."
This. You have to appreciate the art of subtlety to fully appreciate this drama. There is a lot said through what is not said in this drama. They leave a lot for the audience to fill in. That isn't too popular in the age of 21-character max, meme communication. Through a tight knuckled fist, through one sharp look- the audience is expected to draw a lot of deep insights from those small gestures. It takes a little more attention and imagination to fill in the lines.
I'm not saying this drama is perfect and I do think there are a lot of flaws with this drama and its flow and plot. But I can appreciate the art of subtlety and drawing some things from the unspoken in between.
So, since I've pretty much exhausted my outlets for my LB addiction until they release new episodes tomorrow, I thought I'd fill in the time with some Liu Yuning info. :). I've seen a lot of posts about the other cast members of the Long Ballad here but not much on LYN. Time to fill in the gap :).
I'm officially a LYN fangirl. For someone who has no formal acting or singing training, he is really good at both. He can convey a lot of emotion just through his facial expressions. That takes some acting chops to achieve. He says he really wants to become a good actor and you can tell from the BTS clips that he tried really hard to do a good job with Hao Du. I look forward to seeing his next projects and his improving even more as an actor.
I also like that he is so hard working and, despite his increasing fame, he hasn't forgotten his roots and still does his 3+ hours long weekly live streams with his Modern Brothers band. He initially became famous through live streaming MB's street concerts in his home town of Dandong. I don't understand a thing he says in the livestreams, but he seems to be such a positive and down-to-earth person. I heard about his struggles before achieving fame, working odd jobs as a waiter to make ends meet.
I also like that he is such a dork.
This is a funny clip from one of his livestreams talking about his reaction when Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi asked about his age and then LYN discovering how much younger than he they are in turn:
Rewatching eps 35 & 36 - I’m feeling for Hao Du. He places LeYan’s happiness ahead of his feelings. So annoyed…
I think Hao Du's story overall is so much sadder than the drama has shown us so far. They hint at us about Hao Du's sense of inferiority, which is why he tries to do everything to please his adoptive father. I think his outer coldness stems from his sense of inferiority and insecurity, but he loves Leyan unconditionally and selflessly. When she confesses to Shuyu gege in front of Hao Du, I cried like a baby.
Aww what a cutie pie! That dazzling, slightly mischievous smile!

And how can such a baby face have such a deep voice?

One thing I don't like about LYN- what's up with the new hair - is he trying to grow a mullet???? LOL.
