How to sell Zhao Yunlan
My good friend thevetia asked me to show her Guardian, I very happily complied, we've watched through episode 13 (♥ 13! ♥) and she mentioned that she... doesn't like Zhao Yunlan much. ;__; But she wants to keep watching, so there's hope.
1.) Shen Wei is a quietly dazzling package of awesome, and I totally understand her devoting more attention and thoughts to Shen Wei because, yes.
2.) On first watch I didn't immediately love Zhao Yunlan, either, but he quickly interested me, and by this point (ep 13) I was sold. Now I love him so much I don't actually remember how I got here. :)
Through episode 13, what are Zhao Yunlan's best qualities? How would you describe his good points to someone who didn't notice them? I made an attempt, but... was not rational about it.
I don't need her to love Zhao Yunlan, of course (if she wants to watch the rest just for Shen Wei, I ain't gonna say no), but...!
Advice? Suggestions?

I like this idea too, not least because of how it parallels what we see of Shen Wei and his past mistakes as the Envoy. In a way, Zhu Hong's dream confrontation with Zhao Yunlan feels like a less drastic variation on Zhu Jiu's rooftop reveal of his first encounter with Hei Pao Shi. Zhao Yunlan had no evil twin lurking around to seize on his thoughtless throwaway comments to Zhu Hong and twist her pining into resentment, but he still did damage Shen Wei's evil twin was able to take advantage of.
