Where the Mask Ends cast & characters
Tian Xi Wei (田曦薇) plays both women at the center of the swap. Yan An (闫桉), formerly of the K-pop group PENTAGON, plays Lu Zhuo.
The name moves, which confuses a lot of viewers. A Chou is the Wei family's real daughter, swapped out as a baby and raised poor. Jun Dai grew up in the earl's house as Wei Rao. A Chou marries Lu Zhuo under the name Wei Rao, so in recaps "Wei Rao" usually means A Chou.
