Uncle Wei Yan needed more screen time. His character had so much depth. If only we could go beyond 40 episodes. #PursuitofJade #cdrama #YanYiKuan
Uncle Wei Yan 😭
#PursuitOfJade #YanYiKuan
In a recent post #PersuitOfJade interview, actor #YanYiKuan (whom played Wei Yan), spoke up for #ZhangLinghe and the #cdrama production amid the criticism towards makeup use being “inappropriate” for the character of a General.
Uncle Wei will always be there for Zheng.

PAIIINNNN 😭

The what-if in this edit is killing me. Uncle & nephew could have been such a wholesome & powerful duo protecting the people & kingdom if it wasn’t for 2 players in this political chess game messing it up for everyone. #PursuitofJade #cdrama #YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe
Heartbreaking, nuanced and fascinating storyline, from the first episode to the last. Loved every single second of this relationship.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama
#ZhangLinghe #YanYiKuan
So many mixed emotions at this moment. Despite everything he did, I can’t help but think Wei Yan deserved better. What could life be for him has the late Emperor had not set him up? And the fact he passed away carrying the sins of others? Gah!
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama
#YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe
This is also why Wei Yan started to plot against the current Emperor after he tried to set up Zheng in the Palace. He realised Qi Shen was no different than his father, bish tried to do to Zheng what they did to him. History repeating itself.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe
Understanding #PursuitOfJade politics and what happened 17 years ago that set this story in motion🧵
#ZhangLinghe #TianXiwei #YanYiKuan
In the end, everything Wei Yan did and became was a direct consequence of an inadequate Emperor whom one day woke up and chose violence against his own Crown Prince and two families who had for generations being loyal, so he could replace them with Grand Tutor Li.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #YanYikuan
Wei Yan forced the late Emperor to abdicate by giving the throne to the son of the Empress Dowager. As the Crown Princess faked Min’s death, Wei Yan didn’t have the option of putting his friend’s son in power. That’s how and why Qi Shen was chosen.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #YanYikuan
The late Emperor, Prince Sui and Grand Tutor Li sent the Crown Prince and former Marquis Xie to their deaths by lying about the tiger tally and refusing to send provisions or soldiers to help. Set up Wei Yan using his affection for his former fiancée, Rongyin.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #YanYikuan
I can’t believe all of this happened because Grand Tutor Li leaked their group chat. His actions were driven by power hunger and cloaked in self-righteousness. The consequences are too many, too large to even numbered them. He was the true villain of this story.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #YanYikuan
NO. Please, don’t tell me the former Emperor marry Wei Yan’s fiancé and set him up because he ran his mouth to defend his good friend. That would be heartbreaking and infuriating.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #TianXiwei #ZhangLinghe #LiJianYi #YanYikuan
We needed a few more episodes of them! #PursuitofJade #cdrama #YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe
Yes, Wei Yan. Tell us the other half of the story so we can finally understand the truth of what started all this insanity.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #TianXiwei #ZhangLinghe #LiJianYi #YanYikuan
Makes you wish Wei Yan never made these choices & they could have been such a dynamic duo doing good as government officials for the people. What could have been… #PursuitofJadw #cdrama #YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe
Wei Yan has proven to be capable of many things but I never believed he had an affair with one of Emperor’s consorts. Even if they were promised to each other first. And I was right.
But why did the late Emperor set him up like this? That is the question.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #YanYiKuan
This information only adds layers upon layers on an already fascinating and nuanced character. How I wish we could have see more of him!
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #YanYiKuan
The rumours were true. Wei Yan was not Xuan’s biological father, his subordinate was. That’s why there was no affection between spouses, they were never together in the first place. Wei Yan was protecting her reputation and raising his friend’s son.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #GaoMingChen #YanYiKuan
Zheng is truly Wei Yan’s pride and joy.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama
#YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe
Every key player at the Palace, finally putting an end to the court’s inner conflict. What a journey this has been.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #TianXiwei #YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe #LiQing #RenHao
I AM ON THE FLOOR SCREAMING. This drama really went there. Despite their rivalry, these cousins had each other’s back at the end. One has to wonder if Wei Yan had raised them equally, would they have ended up like this?
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #GaoMingChen #YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe
So much of the political intrigue in #PursuitOfJade has been leading to a Wei Yan and Zheng confrontation. Watching them fight, one can see they are truly equals in all aspects.
#cdrama #YanYiKuan #ZhangLinghe
Why is Wei Yan like this towards his own son and wife? He would do anything to protect Zheng, even slap around the Emperor, but won’t even move a finger for them. Damn.
#PursuitOfJade #cdrama #YanYiKuan
I feel like #ZhangLinghe could learn a lot about career longevity from #YanYiKuan. I can’t help but a see a similar trajectory between them.
Thank you so much for giving us these complex characters and their multilayered relationship ❤️🔥

Thanks 💕 to the creator JuWeiXin ✨️
Acting: #TianXiWei #LinMuran #DengKai #YanYiKuan knocked it out of the ballpark especially #TianXiwei. Each completely absorbed their character’s traits, personality, flaws, & nuanced emotions. #PursuitofJade #cdrama
Ready to view more #YanYiKuan work!
The choice of actor was superb. He gave us a wonderful portrayal of a man who had wasted his talents through wrong choices. #PursuitOfJade
