Not only the drama, but also the character Loan Niệm, played by Jing Boran, has garnered significant attention. According to shared images, Loan Niệm topped Miao Yan's weekly character popularity ranking for two consecutive weeks, weeks 35 and 36. A character's appeal on social media often stems from multiple factors: character development, storyline progression, interactions with other characters, and the ability to generate engaging content. For Loan Niệm, the statistics in the ranking show that this character is receiving considerable attention.
Another highlight shown in the image is the growth in Jing Boran's followers across social media platforms. His Instagram account gained 1.361 million followers, Weibo 866,000, and Xiaohongshu 898,000. The total increase in followers across all platforms reached 3.125 million. From platform metrics to the popularity of his character and the growth in his follower count, "Bright Spring" is further solidifying Jing Boran's career.
The actor, born in 1989, initially had no intention of accepting the role in "Bright Spring ." Upon reading the script, he felt he was too old to play the role of a handsome office worker and lacked confidence. After being persuaded by the producer, Jing Boran thought it over carefully. To create a truly eye-catching look for Loan Nian, he brought 120 costumes specifically prepared for the character to the set. Most of the character design ideas, including costumes and accessories, were created by Jing Boran himself. After the film's success, he kept his promise to give away five of Loan Nian's costumes to lucky viewers.
