sid_guardian | Picspam/Quiz: Whose shoes?

During the rewatch, one thing I started noticing more and more was how many shots Guardian has of someone's shoes/feet - and not in a fetishy kind of way. *g* Sometimes it's for mystery's sake (who is this?), sometimes it's because there's something relevant happening at ground level, but very often it's simply a part of dramatically presenting a scene.

I wanted to do something with all of these shots, so I thought, why not ring in the new year with a quiz?

The challenge: identify who's being depicted, and which scene it is!
Hard mode: without looking at the comments first. :p

Sometimes it's easy to say who, but the characters appear so much, it's hard to say when. (Partial points for each!) Sometimes once you know who, you can immediately tell when. *g*

Without further ado (as usual, click for full size):

1. In the dark

1a)

1b)

2. White shoes

White trainers and jeans; someone is sitting on a couch

4c)

4d)

4e)

5. More than two people

5a)

Two pairs of white trainers, a pair of black boots, and black-and-white women's shoes

5b)

White strappy women's shoes, one pair of black shoes closeby and another arriving

6. With objects

6a)

A black shoe and an envelope pushed under a door

Bare feet and a card with a ribbon on the floor

6f)

7. With vehicles

7a)

Brown boots worn by someone on a motorbike

7b)

Black shoes and brown trousers, someone getting out of a car

8. Kicking

8a)

A brown boot kicking someone dressed in black

9. Miscellaneous

9a)

Brown boots, ripped jeans and a cane; the ground is covered in dead leaves

9b)

9c)

A pair of white and green trainers, dangling

9d)

9e)

I'll post the solution next weekend. Good luck, everyone! And happy new year! :)

That's a lot of shoes! :D Let's see which I recall from the top of my head

My Guesses

1a) Li Qian
1b) Shen Wei

2a) ...I *think* Da Qing? *squints*
2b) *confused*
2c) Zhao Yunlan, of course
2d) ...huh. Huh.

3a) is that Da Ji? It looks like a corpse so, and the flowers...
3b) Zhu Hong, practicing in heels
3c) Hm. Is it Chu Shuzhi?
3d) Ye Zun
3e) that's gotta be Guo Changcheng as he talks about Chu-ge being scary and then he's out of toilet paper and who just HAPPENS to be in the next stall? Yeah.
3f) judging by the cloak, Heipaoshi?

4a) the beige ones are still Yunlan, and the blacks kinda look like Shen Wei's?
4b) woman running... I wanna say that's Zhang Ruonan as she gets kidnapped by the rapist? it looks like that type of street corner we saw in the flashback, but I'm like, only 40% sure
4c) is definitely Shen Wei (that suit!) in his office and I bet the other pair is Wang Yike as she's trying to kill him (which makes me more certain of 4b being Zhang Ruonan, let's up it to 66%)
4d) that's GOTTA be Weiwei and mirror girl
4e) *squints* the brown boots look like Zhao Yunlan's, the way he's wearing them haphazardly. The suit one's... I doubt it's Shen Wei, one of the government people? I'm excluding Zhao Xinci because he wears beige suits, so maybe GCC's uncle? Guo Ying?
4f) I wanna say Heipaoshi for the robes, and the sneakers kinda look similar to Da Qing's above. But I don't remember him stepping on Shen Wei ngl xD maybe it's one of the Dixingren teens... hmmm.

5a) has gotta be the SID, so my guess is... Zhu Hong up front, then either ZYL or CSZ (I *think* the fringe of CSZ's coat is further up front but I can't tell from this perspective?), then Lin Jing, then Da Qing
5b) *ponders* who has a white dress in white heels? Is it Hua Yuzhu(sp?) with the guy who attacked her directly next to her and her boyfriend what's-his-name running to the rescue?

6a)
6b)
6c) Zhao Yunlan again! his boots are all scrunchy up top
6d) Heipaoshi, presumably
6e)
6f)

7a) The only guy on a motorbike we see is Zhao Yunlan, right??? or wait. Is this Ye Huo?
7b) I kinda wanna say Zhao Xinci based on suit colour, but I'm not sure xD

8a) Looks kinda like Zhu Jiu's cowboy boots? Whoever it is, is kicking at Chu Shuzhi tho, right?
8b)

9a) Zhao Yunlan, blind
9b) Well... I'm having trouble pinpointing when this scene happens, but I think we mostly see Da Qing with SID members? Hm. I wanna say not Shen Wei, but I keep flipflopping
9c) more strangling! Hm. Is it Guo Changcheng? It doesn't look like his earlier ones but they get to switch outfits and that includes shoes...
9d) Zhao Yunlan. Bet.
9e) 100% Heipaoshi
9f) That's the pregnant wife of Wang-ge next door. What's her name again... Su Bai? Bai Sua?

I'm just gonna hit post and see what everyone else guessed, even though I know I'm missing plenty still! x'D

Hee, thank you for playing! Fascinating to see whose shoes were the most recognisable, and which ones stumped you! :D

(Wang Xiangyang's wife is called Bai Suxia, btw.)

Do you want to add some more guesses about which scenes these are from? Have you already looked at everyone's guesses?

So far, you have 26 out of 72 possible points, with one point per image for identifying the character(s), and one for identifying the scene (and some partial points for identifying one out of two characters and suchlike).

I didn't realize we were identifying scenes! I'm gonna try to get more points for that one :D

I have looked at the other guesses immediately after posting, most of which I forgot. To keep myself honest, I'm disqualifying myself from the following:

More Guessing

Disqualified: no fixing the hospital SID team scene, Shen Wei kicking Kong Jing, guessing Cong Bo with the camera, identifying the asthma inhaler scene, switching Da Qing stepping on the Deacon's shoe rather than Shen Wei's (generally, I just picked robe = heipaoshi, no fixing any of those)

I don't remember the others or which picture they belong to, so they should be fine to clarify/guess.

1a) Li Qian coming upong the shadow man/murder of Lu Ruomeng
1b) Shen Wei's shoes getting stuck thanks to Zhu Jiu's dark energy in the park, since Zhu Jiu is a dramatic bitch who needs to interfere in Weilan's walk in the moonlit park date

2a) Still think this is Da Qing because of the scrunchie at the bottom of the jeans, the furniture looks like it's at either a case or the university hmmm. Guessing university.
2c) Zhao Yunlan standing on pipes on the rooftop where Li Qian tries to jump, to cause dramatic dangerously slipping footing for the rescue

3a) Da Ji after just having been poisoned by her husband
3b) dream flashback of Zhu Hong learning to walk
3c) Chu Shuzhi on the streets, so I'm guessing it's the Ye Huo case
3d) Ye Zun in the university pretending to be Shen Wei in Shen Wei's classroom (with the additional deleted scene of him meeting Jiajia!)
3e) sticking with my description from above

4a) Shen Wei joining Zhao Yunlan to rescue Li Qian from slipping down the roof
4b) Zhang Ruonan's flashback of being kidnapped after waiting after the party invitation prank
4c) Wang Yike confronting Shen Wei in his office, trying to kill him unsuccessfully
4d) mirror girl meeting in Weiwei's bathroom

9a) ZYL, blind, walking in the Yashou forest where Shen Wei confronts Ya Qing (and the Xiao Wei! happens)
9c) Guo Changcheng getting strangled
9e) Heipaoshi's dramatic entrance to the SID HQ after he gets summoned the first time in the show
9f) Bai Suxia (thanks for the name, I didn't want to look anything up and get influenced <3) almost being hit by the taxi she was hailing

Probably not a lot more points, but it's what *I* know without help! It's fascinating what everyone else recognized and/or guessed tho :D

Idk if we're collectively missing any characters/locations, but if we do, would it be possible to have a narrowed down list of those before reveals, so we can do some community sleuthing/guessing maybe? If others are also interested

Hee, excellent! :D

To keep myself honest, I'm disqualifying myself from the following

That makes sense! ♥

With these guesses, you're at 36,5 points total.

That's a great idea, I love it! If in a couple days we still have any that no one's guessed, I'll definitely make a post. :)

50% solved! I can live with that :D

Looking forward to it (And to reveals)!

generally, I just picked robe = heipaoshi

Hee! As you can see, not a safe assumption to make. *g* But you weren't the only one, including mistaking Ya Qing's dress for the Envoy's robes!

Yeah, fair enough xD figures they couldn't all be, but it was a decent baseline to go back to!
