I was very impressed/taken aback when the bloody fetus ghost showed up near the beginning of the first volume, lol. I like gore in fiction, but also I didn't expect it from Guardian of all things. xD

Ha, yeah, they really tamed it down for the drama. (I'm good with that!!)

I think it's possible than Shen Wei only just fully figured it out himself? Like, he knew that GCC saw his puppet, but didn't know why, and he had other things to deal with at that point? And only now he put two and two together when another instance of the same thing happened. He "thought for a moment before answering", and I don't think he would be thinking about something else, like whether or not it should be revealed.

Oh, you make excellent points. Thanks! (It's partly that we were talking about GCC seeing ghosts and not telling anyone, and I was like, look, Shen Wei is also failing at communicating pertinent info. But it's not potentially harmful, and if he didn't have reason to think it would happen again...)

but ALSO this means if Xiao Guo just went inside, he could have helped earlier?? (I know it was just half an hour later in the end, and not three hours, but still.) Like, I want to see that now!! :D

I think he needs his third eye opened to see the ghost, unfortunately. Otherwise, that would have been comedy gold!

Like, testing his morals is not necessary (because it's obvious he cares) and testing his courage is not really necessary either (because it's obvious he doesn't have any)?

I thought it might be about whether seeing someone in distress would help GCC gather his courage. (It does in the drama, at times.) But you're right, ZYL already has a pretty accurate assessment of GCC's character.

Now I would kinda lowkey love if she was poisoned by the dog, like, the others are victims of the legless ghost and she just happens to also be there because she's an asshole. xD

Haha, right? Go, Ghost Dog! Get her!! (And in that case, I wouldn't be the least bothered by the vengeance aspect, either. ;-p)
