I know many don't like Jiang Jun for how easy he is to play, but in my case from Marching Fire release till this day he stayed the only one character I felt comfortable to play with all game balance changes. Plus I really like capes, longarm weapons and eastern fantasy aesthetics. Over time not only the character himself but also my customization options grew up on me so much that I fully associate myself with this look.
I'm developing story in a world patrially inspired by For Honor world with my variant as the protagonist. Named after the mask (Idk how it is supposed to be called but in language I play it is "The Lone Irbis") he is making his way in a never-ceasing competition for territorial dominance on the lawless block of planet Vol'nitsa.
Right now I'm designing his armor set piece by piece. Its gonna take some time, unfortunately.
Thoughts about some of my favorite romcom male leads. PART 2.
Disclaimer: this is pure shitpost and me having a lot of time on my hands plus being bored since no one of the dramas in my lists are convincing enough for me to watch rn (and it WILL contain spoilers about some dramas)
Hello, continuing my thoughts about some of my favorite romcom drama male leads. I'm thinking of doing a female version but i literally love every female lead on romcoms unless they are some poorly written airheads.
Today's pick is Ma Yuanshuai from Love is Sweet (2020) played by Luo Yunxi (i forgot to put a Hyungisk gif yesterday so here's two of my fave gifs from him as Yuanshuai):
I still remember when i first read the description for this drama and got quite confused w the plot cause it's like friends to lovers a with a bit of enemies to lovers trope, i love bai lu so much she's one of my fave cdrama actresses but i had never seen any luo yunxi dramas, some friends who also watch dramas said it was his first modern role and let me tell you this casting was ABSOLUTE PURE PERFECTION. The chemistry was there from the very first episode and only got stronger to the point i had to pause the eps sometimes cause that was TEW much even for me who's used to brazilian hot ass soap operas.
Now onto why he's one of my fave characters from romcoms: ( will be doing it recalling scenes like the other post caus it's easier)
When he met Jiang Jun again when she applied for the job at his company that MF was on cloud nine. He was doing everything to stop her from entering the company bc he believed her condition made it hard for her to work on such a competitive place but he was so happy to meet her again after 10 years.
The scene she casually asks him if he has ever liked someone and he says he does but doesn't dare to tell her bc he don't want to lose her. MY GAWD that was a confession in the open he was literally looking at her w sparkly hopeful eyes, so fucking romantic.
THE FUCKING BOOK SCENE. i cry everytime i rewatch it cause the goodamn sensual tension was grabbing and throwing me around my room.
Yuanshuai NEVER denying when someone would call them a couple (the doctor, the taxi driver and so on) plus his username on the "dating app" being zeus and jiang jun being juno. THAT WAS SO FUCKING SLICK.
eps 15 to 20 might be my own personal heaven. everything i ask for in romcoms. i love love love love when they are at the stage of knowing they both like each other and it's ALMOST time that they confess so they are stuck in the awkward phase of tension, that brings me so much joy.
the aquarium scene after they got a perfect match on the dating app. AT THAT POINT BOTH OF THEM KNEW THEY WERE IN LOVE W EACH OTHER and yuan shuai on that whole ep was so wholesome. from him being jealous of du lei, to him comforting jiang jun and finally them looking at each other like they were owns personal world.
THE WHOLE CONFESSION SCENE. it tecnically wasnt a confession bc she read the letter alone but still. them under the snow and the pretty lights was so lovely plus they fucking had a jane austen hand brushing moment right after at the elevator scene. that was one of the moments i had to pause the drama, walk around my house get a cup of water cause i was honestly about to collapse.
There were many other scenes since this drama is longer like most of cdramas are but in general yuan shuai is so much like ahn minhyuk to me. they both are extremely adorable and in truly madly deeply in love while also being hot rich and smart. it doesn't really gets better than that for me.
