Zhu Yilong is a treasure and I am so glad he got Guardian, so I could discover him, and also because I don't know if I would've fallen quite this hard for Shen Wei and the show without him. Has anyone mentioned that he was actually a last-minute casting, someone else was cast as Shen Wei but had to step down, and apparently knew Zhu Yilong so asked if he wanted the role (or so I've heard! as a non-Chinese-speaking fan I'm getting all this second/third/eighth-hand). I cannot imagine another actor as Shen Wei...
...or as bb!Shen Wei, or as Ye Zun, which you should have seen by now? I love how Ye-Zun-dressed-as-Shen-Wei is completely recognizable from Shen Wei himself, to the point that I forget that Ye Zun is the same actor and not just a guy who happens to look really similar...
