Hi, I'm late to the party! This is a lovely scene and a lovely post. :D
Da Qing looks so happy to understand his past actions, which makes sense with missing memories and such.
Yes! I love how happy he is to have it all come together, and to discover that even when he couldn't remember him, he still found Kunlun again.
Da Qing: The same goes for you too, right? (Da Qing looks so hopeful here to connect with Shen Wei)
He looks so pleasedto me! He has both of them back, after all these years! They both found their way to "Kunlun", even when ZYL hasn't even been Kunlun yet!
Either way, for this particular smile my brain reads it as slightly different thatn the hide-me-smile. I think there's a true note of happiness for Da Qing, that he's found some of his memories.
Yes! I don’t think it's a hiding-secrets-smile either; it looks to me like if he's holding anything back it’s the intensity of his happiness, if that makes sense. His smile says Da Qing is exactly right, and he and Da Qing are on the same page. And I think that is the answer to Da Qing's question.
They both look so fond of each other. :D
And one last shot of Shen Wei with grim-serious face.
I love his HPS expression!
Do you think Shen Wei said the bit about the ‘Master of the Merit Brush’ on purpose? To distract Da Qing from the fact that he didn’t answer the question?
Not really from the question? But he's not really used to dwelling on his feelings, and he looks like he’s feeling A LOT in that moment.
I always love Da Qing and Shen Wei’s interactions! I think both actors played it very nuanced with the missing memories, the regained memories and hinting to all those unsaid things. I wish they had even more moments within the whole series!!!
100% agreed!
My favourite moment is the pinky swear; it's just delightful. They’re both so protective of Zhao Yunlan! And Da Qing is confronting the Black-Cloaked Envoy! And Shen Wei reassures him very seriously, and is so bemused by the whole pinky swear thing, but also willing to earnestly go along with whatever reassurance or promise Da Qing needs. And Da Qing believes him, despite his Ye Zun flashbacks! So much love!
The 10,000 years of sleep aside, rewatching this particular scene made me have many feels about how Shen Wei must have felt such loneliness.
For me, it's ... how do I put this? Shen Wei isn't really the type to dwell on his own loneliness or angst, so I think it's not until this moment, when Da Qing remembers fully and they're fully reunited and on the same page – it's not until this moment when the loneliness is eased, that he really lets himself acknowledge it, and he feels it in the entire weight and intensity of relief from loneliness. That's a lot! But I feel like it's there in his smile, and in the expression on his face, and in the way he can't/won't really talk about it but is so happy to have a Da Qing who remembers ... ❤❤❤ MY HEART OMG.
