I didn't know the term Yon-sama, so I just googled (ha! here's an academic paper on the phenomenon), and then I saw a reference to Winter Sonata and got it. Winter Sonata, that's what it was. Sorry, I forgot that Yong-sama was a Japanese-only phenomenon ;)
Zhao Yunlan didn't fail to protect Shen Wei or let him down -- he and Shen Wei both gave their all, in tandem, to protect everyone else. That's how I see it, anyway. Oh yes, I agree. I'm not sure Zhao Yunlan himself would, though, at least as of immediately before going into the Lantern--I feel like protecting each other is high on their list of priorities, given Zhao Yunlan's "Who hurt you? I'll kill him" thing and the way Shen Wei throws himself in front of him a little later.
