Zhuo Qing in Tales of Dark River?

Take this with a grain of salt, as this news is mainly based on a translation of what seems to be a summary of actor Yan Su’s livestream. Still, it looks like he’ll be reprising his role as Zhuo Qing in the Dark River show! His performance in Dashing Youth has been excellent, and he clearly put a lot of work and consideration into it. The thought of seeing Yan Su continue Zhuo Qing’s story in the live action Tales of Dark River is quite exciting! 💜

Dashing Youth Minor Character Appreciation

Every character has the potential to be someone’s favorite, no matter how little screen time they have. With as varied and colorful a cast as Dashing Youth, this is especially true. With many watchers nearly at the halfway point and others a little over three-quarters of the way through, I figured now would be a good time to start spreading some love!

Needle Granny

First off, we have the Needle Granny. She has a cool design and is pretty intimidating.

Tang Xuance

Next, we have Tang Xuance. His vibes in both shows are interesting, and I like the way he moves.

Eunuch Cheng

Finally, we have Eunuch Cheng. He’s pretty adorable and his interaction with Baili Luochen is amusing and intriguing.

From what I hear on MDL, Xiao Ruojin drugging Yi Wenjun isn’t in the source material, and many Chinese watchers (especially Xiao Se fans) are upset about it. The Dashing Youth show-writer(s) likely added that in order to make Yi Wenjun less complex and/or less morally grey for her romance with Ye Dingzhi. Anyone is welcome to put as much stock into that writer’s decision as one wishes. Just know it doesn’t mesh particularly well with how things are told in the novels or in the Blood of Youth
