(I'd iconify one of Gou Jian's shocked expressions except Uncle Ming looks damn good always and forever and can't quite convey the sheer OMGWTFBBQAHHHHHH that One Piece can.)
Oh rats, now I have to get disk 2 out and look again. (Miscounting, I didn't realize I'd watched 9 as well last night. This is what happens when the story gets good.) I can't even identify that scene. Yer guy, highlighted in photoshop:

Yeah, Fan Li starts out being such a uke, but well, as someone on the BBS put it, When faced with Uncle Ming even the most docile uke will turn into a rabid seme.
But you know, in these pre-Wu days Gou Jian looks pretty seme still. Not quite- something maybe just a little off- but, well, look at those stills up there. 'The uke is the one with the weaknesses' and as of ep 10 the only one Gou Jian has is, possibly, being more intelligent than most people. Fan Li is equally if not more intelligent; play him a little less pleased with himself and he could easily be King Gou Jian's uke.
In fact I could easily see a Prince Fu Chai in Yue story where that emotionally honest and straightforward innocent gets totally seduced and screwed by the cunning Prince Regent of Yue.

If I had a 铜钱 for every time Fan Li did the demure-lowered-gaze-thing...
Yeah seriously I wonder how much of the script any of them saw at any point. Didn't ANYONE remember that the whole point is MO BU YE DOESN'T SURVIVE TO SEE GOU JIAN KING.

(For a series that's resolutely of this world this is a really weird cameo.)

My sentiments exactly. I don't see him letting anyone screw him, certainly not Fan Li at this stage.
R.e. Fu Chai: during the attempted military coup what was the first thing Gou Jian said? "Go see if Fu Chai has escaped." 8D
