Or they really wanted to set up stuff just so they could subvert people's expectations and go "No, this is not the show about plucky kid protagonist Guo Changcheng going to take down his evil uni professor Shen Wei!" at us?
Heeeee. That could also be! (Or maybe, now that I'm thinking of the glasses, it could be a BL trope? The nefarious seme with flashing glasses...)
ETA: Should we have a Shen Wei shoe watch to go with the Zhao Yunlan jacket watch?
LOL! I think that would be hilarious and also for science, BUT, I wouldn't want you to have extra hassle!
(The background to why I find this particularly amusing is that in my pre-Guardian fandom, there's a guy who has tall-and-glowering as one of his favourite personas and who is unfortunately super tiny, so he really wears cheating shoes a lot, and once you've started noticing the shoes, you can't stop. The first time I realised Shen Wei must be wearing heeled shoes for a good chunk of the show, I couldn't stop giggling. And he's not even short!)
