Question: What do the Guardian characters remind you of?

[mekare]

Or: how have you been primed via previous characters to fall for them?

For me it definitely was the dynamic between them that made it inevitable to fall in love. It reminds me so strongly of two previous (and current) fandoms:

Batman/Superman
Benton Fraser/Ray

Aka duty,justice,reservedness, loneliness, sacrifice tendencies, quasi-superpowers + sunny nature, quick wit, big open heart, Notice Me behaviour/wheedling

With both parts partly hiding behind masks, personas.

What about you?

Btw, Guo Changcheng reminds me so strongly of Sailor Moon in the first episodes. And Zhao Yunlan's sprawling reminded me strongly of John Sheppard.

Question: list of character names?

[china_shop]

Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of Guardian characters (from the drama)?

(This question brought to you by my spending way too much time trawling through subtitle files because my sieve-brain can’t remember even quite significant non-main-characters’ names, let alone the actually incidental characters.)

I've just posted A completely scientific poll with no leading questions whatsoever about Guardian and its fans. Just for fun.

Guardian meta-meta

[naye]

Not the most cheerful of topics, but I've got a breakdown of some of the issues with censorship that Guardian ran into over on my journal. It's in a long post along with an overview of (media & entertainment) censorship issues and (general) views on homosexuality in the People's Republic of China.
