I have a friend who didn't get he was the BCE either! And I'm honestly not sure I would've myself, except the pimp post I read before I saw the show mentioned it; I'm curious how long it would've taken me to guess, otherwise, considering how bad I am at faces (I also had trouble recognizing Shen Wei the first time he shows up without glasses? ^^;)

And oh, yes -- Zhu Yilong is my special obsession but Bai Yu is absolutely as integral to their chemistry, and his performance is a match to Zhu Yilong's throughout. I think they elevated each other, even (Zhu Yilong is great in everything I've seen him in, but Shen Wei just has so many layers! He's always experiencing like at least three strong emotions at any given time, and you can see all of them in his face even when he's always trying to hide all of them, too...)
