Hi, I'm Solo and rheasilvia brought me here. Seriously, it's all her fault. She made me watch it and I couldn't stop! (So I made two other friends watch it. One of them is working on fic now...)
Guardian hooked me for so many reasons: the cool monsters of the week, the amazing CGI, the wonderful ending... okay, wait, where are my meds?
The romance. I haven't seen anything this obvious since I was in Starsky & Hutch fandom (yes, I am that old). And the way Shen Wei just cannot stop looking at Zhao Yunlan ever (and that LOOK!) and how he is so beautifully fail at pretending to be a normal human (I fell off the roof. I guess... my back twinges a bit?) and how Zhao Yunlan is sharp enough to cut himself and just keeps digging and analysing until he's got Shen Wei figured out... and Zhao Yunlan's irreverence even before he's figured him out... and that whole thing where Shen Wei can flip into Black Cloak mode even while wearing those ridiculous sleeve garters... and so many other things. #coherence
I've been watching Jdramas for years now but this is my first Cdrama ever, and if I'd been told I'd become a fan of one, I'd have laughed. I don't normally like watching stuff in a language where I don't understand at least a little bit but since I speak lots of languages this is not usually a problem. Mandarin... is a problem.
I've been in fandom since 1979, covering Starsky & Hutch, Highlander, Due South, TokyoBabylon/X (also rheasilvia's fault and most recently KAT-TUN/Akame.
