I love the complexity of the characters that weave this amazing tale. We can probably analysis each individual with a book or two, this is how sophisticated and exquisite they are. Overall, WangXian is my favorite characters. Their journey purely began as friendship, which blossomed something more. They are each other’s light, as well as, rely and trust one another without any boundaries. In Lan Zhan’s eyes, it doesn’t matter what form Wei Ying is. As long as it is Wei Ying, he will love, protect and break rules for.
This song represents how he saw Wei Ying:

It would be the Kim Nam Gil Special Stage 2016 Road Show. I stumbled upon a few clips on Youtube and would love to get my hands on a copy of its DVD. Oppa has a nice singing voice, which I enjoy listening to, and probably with some training, he would make a good professional singer. He is best with upbeat songs like Here I Am (originally by Min Kyung Hoon), suits more of his true personality. I never really got into Can’t I Love You?, Bidam’s character song from Queen Seondeok. Okay, sue me? lol Hopefully, his outcoming road show will feature him singing The Fiery PriestOST. Wouldn’t that be a treat?!
Day 12: Most favorite fan-made video of one of his characters
I have seen quite a few FMV of Bidam over the Internet, Moonlight (月光) is among the best. It is the themesong to 3D Chinese animation series, The Legend of Qin (秦时明月) and suits Bidam perfectly.
I am not familiar with Anson Hu (胡彥斌) until I came across this FMV and found his vocals to be powerful and unique, as well as, smooth and velvety. The way he conveys raw emotions through music is impressively beautiful.
Moonlight represents Bidam wonderfully. The lyrics showcase the different phrases of his journey, what he experienced and endured — from loneliness to love to pain. It defines the life of a skilled swordsman, often in solitude, scarred and tragic due to many different factors, much like Bidam’s. The scene selection was nicely done as well, weaving his tale to correspond with the song. :)
Whenever I watch this FMW, my heartstrings are always tugged. Poor Bidam, let me give you a hug. He would have been more suitable in a vagabond life (江湖) rather than politics. The last scene in the FMV gave me such a feeling. If he just left, he would be freed and be the master of whatever he wants. Though, I cannot ponder how much regret and sorrow, Bidam would have been without Deokman. *sigh* Though, I hate to admit this, his ending was appropriate after re-watching Queen Seondeok multiple times. lol
Crossing my fingers, maybe in the future, Nam-Gil oppa and Lee Yo-Won can be reunited in a modern series together. I don’t think Yo-Won ssi does romantic series anymore, don’t quote me on that. lol Just having the two of them sharing the screen is enough for me.
Here are the lyrics in English, Chinese and Pinyin…
