"Exhale" - fanart of Chinese actor Li Dai Kun - Digital painting Bonus under the Readmore. Also, happy BDay to him!

He doesn't give us enough stubble photos, so I had to feed myself. :<

The crop may seem unorthodox, but I was painting emotions more than just a portrait.

Though this painting does not have a direct reference, I did do a whole bunch of studies in the middle of it (should have done them *before*) to acquaint myself with his features and fix things that didn't look right to me, though. Some mouth studies I did:

Trivia: The background of the painting is based on the embroidery on different traditional Chinese outfits that the actor has worn:

Gong Jun Studio Weibo Update 2024/06/14.

Gong Jun as Su Muyu, An He Chuan/Tales of Dark River

[feng-huli]

Gong Jun as Su Muyu: Confirmed

The rumors are true! Gong Jun will be playing the Umbrella Ghost, Su Muyu, in the live action 暗河传!

[minsarasarahair]

Su Muyu: "This is the biggest order Dark River received in nearly 30 years, but you make it sound so easy." Su Changhe: "Killing has always been easy."

[rose-tinted-vision]

So I started watching the Tales of Dark River (暗河传) donghua because I really liked Su Muyu and Su Changhe in Dashing youth (there's a donghua for it too!)

(⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠)...also maybe because i was searching it up and saw this line:

苏昌河朗声道：“我的规矩就是，所有苏暮雨不想接的，我都接！这就是我的规矩！”

Su Changhe said clearly: "my rule is, I'll take whatever job Su Muyu does not want to take! This is my rule!"

-暗河传 第四幕- 清明（16）

I've only watched up till episode 5(?), but it's been great so far (if a bit sad, since I've watched TBOY already and know how they end up) they start off strong right off the gate and do a great job of introducing the characters as well (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

◻◼ Li Daikun wig and makeup for "Tales of Dark River" ◼◻

🎫📞"Villain waiting in line at the customer service desk of the phone company" vibes

Bangs and hair are butt-length, so we'll have very long wigs in this drama.

Photo sources: fans LDKs_Niffler, 北客悠然, 爱慕z_ [-1 & 4-][-2 & 5-][-3-] more there For those who can't view weibo, [LDK_Korea] has them all [-1-][-2-][-3-][-4-]

Character ID (unconfirmed, not official) under the cut

Not confirmed, but we're pretty sure he's Mu Ci Ling. I haven't read the source novel nor watched the donghua (yet), but I read that he goes by the alias "The King of Hell." In the donghua, Mu Ci Ling has greenish eyes and cat-slit pupils. I don't know if they'll do that for the drama as well.

Image source: [Youku Animation weibo post] "Su Muyu is alone in passing on the sword, Mu Ci Ling fights Su Jinhui. See the ancestral tomb when alive, and see the King of Hell when dead."

The donghua is available on Youku (their YouTube as well). Look for "Tales of Dark River" on YouKu or YK's "Youku English Animation" channel on YouTube. By my estimate, the 26 episodes will finish uploading around the end of July (it's on ep21 as of this writing).

Their description:

Dark River, the most mysterious assassination organisation in the Jianghu, consists of three families, Su, Xie and Mu, and the supreme commander of the three families is called the Great Chief. The head of the family has been poisoned and his life is in danger. The three forces of the Dark River hear the news and seize the opportunity to rebel. Su Muyu, as the leader of Spider's Shadow's guards, sought out the divine doctor Bai Hehuai from the Valley of the Medicine King to heal him, and fought off the assassins of the three families to protect the head of the family. At that time, his close friend Su Changhe in Dark River, but on behalf of the Su family to join the assassination of the great chief action. ★Number of episodes：26

✨Update 2024-07-17: For VIPs, it has more episodes than what was mentioned above, and is still ongoing.
