Day 12: A platonic relationship you loved

Fan Xian and his platonic relationships with so many characters in #Cdrama Joy Of Life 2: Emperor, Overwatch Director Chen Ping Ping, poison master Fei Jie, 2nd Prince, subordinate Wang Qi Nian, Black Knight Gao Da, "brother" Fan Si Zhe, "father" Fan Jian.

The two that I loved the most equally, Fan Xian with "Uncle" Wu Shu and with "sister" Fan Ruo Ruo, both characters play critical support roles in the drama. #JoyOfLife2 #JOL2

Day 8: Standout secondary character of 2024

#Shogun: Lord Kashigi Yabushige, the scheming lord of Izu who serves Lord Toranaga. Tadanobu Asano should have won the Best Supporting Actor Emmy. #Jdrama⁩ / ⁨#USdrama⁩

Joy of Life 2: "Uncle" Wu Zhu played by Tong Meng Shi. Wu Zhu is just a brilliant character, period. #Cdrama #JOL2

Korea-Khitan War: Brave military officer Yang Kyu, historical figure who defended the northern border, played memorably by Ji Seung-Hyun. #Kdrama

Wan Qinian: you are a good person.

Fan Xian: *doesn't look convinced*

Later

Fan Xian: What's the use of being a good person when I'm surrounded by danger?

Wan Qinian: sir, danger lurks everywhere, but there are few good people. You're a good person.

Fan Xian: Am I considered a good person? I have many faults. I'm cowardly, selfish, greedy, and conceited. Sometimes, I'm complacent, indecisive, and overcautious. In all honesty, I'm just an ordinary man. What will an ordinary man do in this situation?

Wan Qinian: What will he do?

Fan Xian: He will quit his job! I'm no longer the inspector and the leads have been cut off. What can I use to investigate? Why should I investigate? Why is that my concern? One should learn to protect oneself and not care about others.

Wan Qinian: sir, please don't say that. Your words and actions have changed many people.

Fan Xian: Who?

Wan Qinian: At least, there is me, Wan Qinian.

Gods, I love love love love Fan Xian so much.

Fan Xian: I'm not my mother. I can't live by the goal of changing this world. But at least in this life, I want to be a self-righteous good person and let my conscience be at peace.

Can I still trust you?

Yes, but not completely. People are unpredictable.

Agh, this is so good. SO. GOOD.
