I am so glad too, because he is AMAZING. His micro-expression emotive acting feels like it's on a Jeremy Brett level, and that's about the highest praise I have.
And yeah, same here, I fell first and foremost for Zhu Yilong, especially once I realized he was also the BCE (I am not ... fast at these things? And then when we got to Ye Zun I was like "this can't be him too, right, am I crazy, or...") And Ye Zun is just a whole 'nother level of amazing. I agree, I LEGIT forget that in the fight scenes, it's the same guy on both ends?
I saw a pic somewhere of the other actor, and ofc that doesn't show the actor's range or anything, but MAN. I can't imagine anyone else either.
That said though: I can't imagine that he would have this amazing screen chemistry with anyone other than Bai Yu, either. The SFX may be terrible but the casting just elevates the show to enormous heights.
