Oh, that hurts in the right way. It's nice to have a Zhao Yunlan vid for a change--I do love Shen Wei, but then HE loves Zhao Yunlan.

[klia]

Thank you for that. All three of us love Zhao Yunlan, but he's totally my fav. ♥

[trepkos]

So beautiful!

oh my gosh this is SO GOOD???!!! i love that you've caught zyl in his more contemplative moments, when he's not busy disguising himself as the class clown. he has this formidable intellect when no one's watching and you really brought it through here. also great dynamics, with the music—just really so good. thank you, i love this <3

[klia]

Right? Zhao Yunlan is *so* smart -- watching him watch others, and seeing him shift from Chief Zhao to Yunlan was what made me love him so much. Thank you for the very sweet comment. ♥

Oh my god, this is amaaaaaazing!!!! I love him so much, and this is such a glorious glorious beautifully faceted portrait. (The "I couldn't open up" sequences, yesssss! And the Hallows as hallucinogens works so incredibly well!) I could watch this for days! a;ldskfajsdlfksadjf

(Is it available for download anywhere, by any chance?) Ignore me, apparently I can't read. *facepalm*

ETA: *rewatches three or four more times* The Zhao Xinci sequence is killing me, just so good! And the "coming undone." Wow!

[klia]

Yaaayyyyy, we're so glad it worked for you! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! ♥

Oh, awesome, that's such a perfect song for Zhao Yunlan! What a great character vid. :D

[klia]

The first time I heard the song, I immediately thought of Zhao Yunlan, so it totally made my day that you thought it fit him, too. ♥ ♥ ♥

[velithya]

Thank you for the vid! Lovely to see Zhao Yunlan gets some love :3

[klia]

Thank you for watching! Zhao Yunlan definitely deserves more love! ♥

I'm late to the party, but that was some amazing I'm late to the party, but that was some amazing vidding! so beautifully composed with every heartbreaking punch. oh Zhao Yunlan

thank you so much for the gorgeous work!

[klia]

There's no such thing as being late. :) Thank you so much for watching! I think in some ways his life broke all of our hearts. ;__;

still swooning

Back to fangirl just a little bit more at you after living with this vid for a few days. I think other people have said in the comments that they were Shen Wei fans first, but this vid made them feel all the same things for Zhao Yunlan. And it is so true! I've been saying "oh, Shen Wei!" ever since I saw his gold collar stay in the very first episode, but this vid made me say "Oh, Zhao Yunlan!" in exactly the same way, and then some. This vid finally pierces the Zhu Yilong glamour that does seem to befuddle some of us hapless fans, and let me see the man Shen Wei loves and I am so grateful.

And the line "I don't remember your face or your hair or your smile" with those paired clips makes me tear up when I am just going about my daily business and I think about it. Watching it in person for the 35 time or so is almost more heartbreak than I can bear. And then I watch it for 36th time.

So, right. I really like this video. Thank you so much for loving Zhao Yunlan and showing us why so so beautifully.

oh the line is actually

[saffronhouse]

I don't remember your face or your hair or your NAME or your smile

.... OH, DON'T MIND ME I'LL BE JUST SOBBING IN THE CORNER OVER HERE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE

Re: still swooning

[klia]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This comment just about made me cry because, while I adore both Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan (and their actors), I found myself thinking more about Zhao Yunlan, his life's journey, and everything he went through, as the show went on. (And I'm eternally grateful for that last scene of them together on the astral plane, because without it I would've been too heartbroken to ever watch it again, let alone make a vid.)

So, if this vid helped you love Zhao Yunlan even a little more, that makes me really happy. 💜
