This drama really showed amazing character development. Not one supporting character went to waste, and even the so-called “villains” aren’t simply black or white (with some exceptions of course). The ML isn’t a red flag, but he’s not a complete green flag either. There’s growth in every episode.

Everyone is flawed in their own way, and I love that the drama actually gives them room to make mistakes, face the consequences, learn, and become better. No one feels like they’re there just to move the plot along. They all have their own stories, motivations, and struggles that make you understand why they are the way they are.

And maybe that’s what I love most about it. It doesn’t ask you to see people as simply good or bad. It reminds you that people are complicated, growth isn’t linear, and sometimes becoming better starts with recognizing the parts of yourself that still need changing. 💯

I do miss the days of endless #LiuXueYi interviews but I did save this for a rainy day :D
About his upcoming roll in Northern Wei Dynasty (Jiangshan Datong) and how it differs from Against The Current:

Q: Jiangshan Datong just wrapped filming not long ago. What did it feel like shooting this drama? What kind of person is Tuoba Jun?

LXY: Very happy. It was also a very professional crew. Everyone used the fastest time to complete a huge workload, and I got to know a group of excellent actors.

Q: What kind of character is Tuoba Jun?

LXY: He's a very wild spirit. He's someone who is internally restrained but outwardly wild. Because he's from a nomadic people, he's bold and uninhibited. His restraint comes from being an emperor - family and country, the world under heaven, definitely come first. Romantic entanglements definitely come second. He's someone who carries the fate of the entire Northern Wei on his shoulders.

Q: Did it feel really satisfying to act?

LXY: Very, very much so. Because our Against The Current is a very gentle drama, like a small stream slowly flowing in front of you. The feeling of Jiangshan Datong is like a violent storm 👀 then the wild wind gathers the dark clouds, and there's a petrel...

(starts laughing here)

...from Song Xiaobao's sketch, right?**

P/s ** He realised he was quoting a famous comedic monologue by Song Xiaobao (宋小宝), a well-known Chinese comedian, which parodies Gorky's "Song of the Stormy Petrel." The petrel is a famous literary symbol in Chinese culture, thanks to Maxim Gorky's 1901 prose poem "The Song of the Petrel" (海 燕). In that poem, the petrel boldly flies into a gathering storm, crying out as a herald of the coming revolution. It became a classic metaphor for bravery, defiance, and a fearless spirit facing turmoil.

love this article ‘Applause for the Courage to Say No’

"The message Kim Sohyun conveys to audiences through her portrayal of Lim Youjin in ‹Between Steps> is one that exposes the hypocrisy of society's notion of 'normality' and presents the courage to face failure. In a world where certain paths appear outwardly glamorous and everyone is expected to follow them (as though doing so is the only
'normal' way to live) the character Kim Sohyun portrays embodies the courage to say that's not how life works."

read a few k-blog reviews for TRE (some from those who read the original, and those who have not) and most of them were worried and felt the embarrassment (mainly because of the unfamiliarity of seeing asian actors in a western-style background) but because of the acting in the show, they’re still looking forward to the next episodes

[k a y l y n 💫 @spring96k]

currently watching TRE, and I’m loving it so far! honestly, I don’t think anyone looks awkward or out of place in these Western-style costumes, from the leads to the supporting cast
