Chu's sneak loyalty to Zhao Yunlan always makes me ❤️❤️❤️ Me too! He is so very grumpy and disrespectful, but in the end, Zhao Yunlan is his boss and they are A Team.
- I'm forever annoyed that Da Qing spying on the doctor in his human form was what led to the doctor sending them away. That's 'Guo breaking the escape button in the freezer room' levels of plot stupid, IMO. There had to have been some other way to get to the kneeling. Yes. Have Ya Qing/Mr. Merit Brush come take a look at the SID Chief being healed by the cursed doctor, idk, just ... Da Qing. Why. Why are you so stupid.
- I find Shen Wei going "No matter what he is, as long as he can help others..." about the doctor when he first hears about him such a telling characterisation moment for Shen Wei. It's very knee-jerk, Must Help Zhao Yunlan driven, and a similar knee-jerk reaction than when they realise Zhao Yunlan should really give his eyesight 'back' because he was healed at the cost of other people. I submit that part of it is also that Shen Wei is from Dixing, so he doesn't consider "is Dixingian" a thing to be suspicious about. Like, he has his deportation duty, but the knee-jerk suspicion isn't there, because he, too, is Dixingian. My People (Whom I've Let Down) vs Them.
Shen Wei: His Mommy Dressed Him Badly I snorted. One would think Shen Wei was the blind one, based on how they dress themselves... As for the clothing, Shen Wei does have cloth-repair skills, since the shirt he got razor-fingers-thwapped with in episode 1 was just fine after two dark energy outfit changes in episode 2. And getting wet is something most clothing is designed for.
His glasses are wet, so he can't see anything, but he also doesn't need to or want to see anything, really, because all he's doing is wait out however long he has to do this. There's no point periodically wiping them or anything, it would be futile, and taking them off would also be weird, because they're part of his persona and where would he put them and... stuff. Once he's told he's done enough is when he snaps out of that state, and then taking off the glasses actually lets him see, and he's back in the world. The pragmatic angle is one I hadn't considered! Re-entering the world after his big Sacrifice For Yunlan thing is a very good piece of symbolism.
The cinematography pointers in this post are great!!! ♥
