Random musings after watching the three episodes back to back.

I like that this is the part of the story where Zhao Yunlan starts to figure things out. The slow awakening of understanding and piecing the clues together was not introduced too soon into the show. By this point, it was believable.

Having said that, the adorable cannot be overlooked in every interaction of Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan. I will forever approve of the use of blatant sleeping on shoulders.

I like the teasing of Little Guo interspersed with the map scene where his chief and his mentor are actually sort of training him. The moments of teamwork for the SID crew are again a reminder that - for most of them - there was life and a job to do before they crossed paths with Shen Wei.

Zhao Yunlan's protective nature for his people (not just Shen Wei) is demonstrated well.

I am still a bit bemused with Shen Wei and his alcohol intolerance. I know it was already touched on in the earlier episode when he's escorting a certain other drunk professor to a taxi. Since there is a bar type establishment in Dixing in a later episode, why is the all powerful Envoy different to others of his kind?

I see it as nothing more than a personal idiosyncracy, and one that emphasizes that for all of his immense power, Shen Wei is still... not human, but the Dixingian equivalent.

Yes! That's exactly how I see it. He may be ridiculously overpowered, but he's still a normal person, and not immune to a normal person's weaknesses.
