Han Linxin exits VIVANT Season 2 early: the Shinshii intelligence chief is shot dead four minutes into the finale. The character was built on long braids and a bewitching, cold-hearted presence, set against Nogi Yusuke (Masato Sakai) and the rest.
What circulated afterward was a private photo of Kyoko Miyashita with actor Tomiei Drum.
