VIVANT Releases Han and Ryu Two-Shot From Episode 21
The posted stills are doing the work of a season-two cliffhanger: the official account is selling the confrontation between Han and Ryu, and the episode 22 preview's line about eliminating everyone except Jamín keeps that threat open.
Reporting from 1 source: Magmix.
The official X account for the Sunday Theater drama VIVANT posted visuals of Han Linxing, played by Kyoko Miyashita, and Liu Mingxuan, played by Masato Sakai, at Shinxi headquarters in episode 21 of season 2. The stills come from the scene where Blue Walker, played by Riho Ota, seizes the headquarters network and F, played by Sakai, declares war on Han from a private jet. Viewers praised the two-shot's beauty.
The two-shot sits inside a takeover sequence. Blue Walker seizes the Shinxi headquarters network to escape Golbad, and F, aboard a private jet, plays the Betsuban Ceremonial Song at headquarters as a declaration of war on Han. Ryu stands beside Han in the frame, Han angry, Ryu surprised.
The replies quoted by the official account lean on looks rather than plot: "Their looks side by side are too good," "Intensely beautiful," "Too powerful on screen." The preview for episode 22, airing October 25, carries a line about eliminating everyone except Jamín, and viewers have responded with concern over what it means for Nogi Yusuke, also played by Sakai.
