Poll: Sprawling Zhao Yunlan (dramaverse)

Zhao Yunlan's turn. He's perfectly encapsulated by "never stands if he can sit, never sits if he can lie down"[1] -- but what is his best moment of outrageous sprawling or lying around?

Okay no, this poll is cruel. How are we supposed to choose? HOW?!?!

The Hanga car is the closest option to The Taxi Ride.

Oh what a GLORIOUS poll, I literally voted for everything, I'm not even attempting to make an attempt here. :D :D

Special mentions for "other" in addition to just everything ever - definitely the barefoot scene (for the hot) and also this one (because it's so wonderfully incongruous that I was screencapping it as I watched for the first time :D).

these are all great options, obviously I cannot choose 🤣 but I submit two more:

- the moment during...I forget which investigation?...where he sits down in the bathroom ON THE CLOSED TOILET SEAT. I mean, not his own bathroom. Some random stranger or possibly murder victim's bathroom. Really, Zhao Yunlan?
- the moment during my beloved episode 8, after he wakes up and is startled to find Shen Wei still sitting by his bedside. First he faces Shen Wei with his legs splayed open and then he does some outright hip thrusts while lying on the bed 'rearranging his pillows' knowing Shen Wei's gaze is on him. The man has no shame and I love him.
