Here we have the Junzhe Extended Universe (JZEU) pair known as Shenping - Gong Jun's character Lin Shen (Dream Garden) x Zhang Zhehan's character Huang Weiping (the unaired Retro Detective).
Dream Garden is a 16-episode romantic drama that aired in 2021 (post Word of Honor). Gong Jun plays Dr. Lin Shen, a professional psychologist. I watched it with English subs on Viki (available free in lower quality - it's also available elsewhere), and surprised myself by thoroughly enjoying it. I now want to be best friends with Xiao Xiao, the lead actress! I definitely recommend it.
Retro Detective is a drama that Zhang Zhehan filmed after Word of Honor. He plays a police detective named Huang Weiping, who falls into a coma and wakes up 20 years later, somehow physically still the same age but lost and confused by the modern era.
I have full confidence we'll see this one day, and I'm looking forward to it.
Pingping's pose here is endlessly amusing to me. Lin Shen's professorial outfit is a pretty standard suit, but a faithful recreation to the drama.
Fig on fig violence is never the answer, Pingping.
That's a little better. Point the gun away from the nice Dr. Lin.
As a side note, this fig set was flagged by the warehouse for the toy gun, and the shipping lines were restricted. It was fine, since I send all my figs via air (vs sea lines etc), but I was surprised. I asked customer service about it and they said it's very strict, anything that looks like a weapon gets flagged. Sure enough, the bow and arrow with a later fig set was also flagged.
I love Zhehan's mane of hair here. Also very faithful to the drama:
Here's a close up on Pingping's outfit - they did a great job with the detailing on the stripes and with his coat.
The box packaging. Wow, the chains and bars are pretty heavy duty here, gentlemen.
Lin Shen hasn't gotten nearly enough love in this post, so here we go with a Lin Shen compilation that Gong Jun's studio released. Why it's x3, I don't know.
Alright, that's a wrap! Gentlemen, thank you for your time -
No, no pointing guns out in the middle of the street like that! It's broad daylight!
Uh, a creepy run down building is not an improvement. And I feel like there's some kind of intense backstory going on here...
No, a night time street is not an improvement either. Pingping, put the gun down, there's no need to keep escalating this. I'm sure you can both talk whatever is going on out -
