Guardian re-watch (ep. 24)

[020104isme]

It is not one of my favourite episodes but it still has some very interesting scenes in it.

ZYL being Player One is interesting because it shows him doing what it takes to protect others. Taking out the better part of his team with a feather duster still makes me giggle... and I love him saving the day with his 'skills' in wire cutting.

Things I still want to know are how they get the other SID members out of the hospital since Da Qing wakes up not remembering what happened (and apparently not because of his memory loss).

Another burning desire is to see Shen Wei's reaction when Zhao Yunlan tells him about the game rounds, particularly the 50/50 one at the end that ends up with the death of the other player. I can't see SW's reaction being particularly calm at how close ZYL came to death without him being aware or being able to intervene.

On a final, slightly sillier note, I adore that ZYL even slouches sitting behind interrogation tables.

Edited to correct typo in the episode number.

I love this episode and for this primary reason: the second time ZYL has the gun to his own head he pulls the trigger *twice* as quickly as he can. And is stunned and horrified when it doesn't fire and he has to hand it back to the nurse. It says so much about him, that 15 second time where he was ready to lose the game to keep her alive.

I should move on to the next episode but I think I might re-watch the game scenes again. ZYL gets more interesting with every viewing. I was so focussed on getting to the latter half of the game I forgot about that moment in the first round.
