Poll: Sprawling Zhao Yunlan (dramaverse)

[china_shop]

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?

Though a lot of what Zhao Yunlan does is that, so it's hard to pick

Haha, true! He's definitely Giving an Impression when he just slouches in a chair at Li Qian's hospital bedside, after she's collapsed from stress.

Illustrative screencap :D

ETA: And yay, I'm so glad you liked the poll! I'm having fun with the readalong, but I always want more Guardian drama content on my reading page, and the discussion here has been such a joy. <3 <3 <3

oooh I love this screencap. Not least because it fits the general theme of ZYL slouching and seated in the presence of Authority, while Shen Wei is standing very straight to face the doctor. Giving an Impression for sure!

Yes! The contrast between them is so fantastic. I love how it sets up a tension, until we realise over time that actually their values are very well aligned.
