Guardian re-watch (ep. 25)

[020104isme]

I got distracted the first time watching this episode by the personality changes portrayed by the actors, it is still very hard not to just giggle at the shenanigans in the SID and poor Zhao Yunlan trying not to tear his hair out in frustration.

This time I paid more attention to ZYL not succumbing and potential reasons why.

Is there a significance to the number 3 or 33? 30 symbols drawn around the city using the Merit Brush with 3 more required to free you know who is quite intriguing.

Oh yeah, the bit with Li Jing talking to ZYL in the SID office had him referring to ZYL & SW as lovers (not seriously, I know) in the English subtitles, something about a lovers' world... is that a bit of wonky translation?

I'm sure there is - and that is a very good question! The symbolism of numbers seems to be a huge thing in Chinese culture, so I'm sure there is an entire leven of significance we are missing. Hmm...

I understood the Lin Jing comment to be something slipped past the censors as a "joke" - I don't think it's a mistranslation, since it's turned up in several versions of the subs and has been rephrased, but not changed in meaning.

Glad to know the 'joke' is in the other versions of the subtitles. 😊

Cdramas might be a black hole I never escape from. People keep recommending others to watch, there are so many things I want to look up & all I want to do is watch/re-watch Guardian.
