Early/Uncut Access: Guardian 1+2

I spent so much time pausing and staring at man in black’s chin asking… is that him? It is right? right!!?? You are not alone

KyoKat (Kimberly)

A mood! It's past midnight here haha

Kansam

And now I shall play a game I like to call "will Brittany give us new episodes before I fall asleep~?" 😆

Pepe-G

Or just out of sight out of mind, happens to the best of us (specifically me all the time)

Kansam

May be some technical mishaps? I can wait hehe

Kansam

We shall see... Have been refreshing the page and mail a while. 😁

Lilah Kane

Psst... Did she forget again?

MavenCree

Thank you darling!! 🥰🥰🥰

Brittany Diamond

Omg...your patreon is so worth it for your uncut full reactions! Love you! Stay cool!

Chris

I'm a little late to the party but I made it! I won't have much to comment during this series because I'll be right there with you watching it for the first time, but I'm excited! Being able to hear your thoughts about an episode and reading everyone else's comments make the experience much more intensive. I did clock Shen Wei's Clark Kent thing in episode 1, with the timing of him going off the roof and Black Cloak Envoy appearing just a few minutes later, but I'm not that good with faces so I wasn't sure I guessed right until episode 2. Your reaction to that was priceless! Alright, I'd better get started on this week's episodes...

Anonym WLW

I am so excited to finally join this party and watch along with you!

KyoKat (Kimberly)

Love your reactions! Just wondering, could you make the volume of the show a little louder? I don't know if it's just me, I can barely hear the show, I would like to see your reactions and enjoy the show at the same time. 😊😊

A good chunk, let's say 80% of the early interactions between Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan can be summarised as "YUNLAN YOU SLUT". And I respect him so much.

idk if I've ever commented before but I'm so damn excited for this!!!!! Let's GOOOOOOO!!!!!!

CelestialMoonDragon

I was really waiting for that moment when you realised Shen Wei and Black Cloak Envoy were one. I wont lie, Shen Wei rocks the superman/Clarke Kent thing really well. Damn, but i just can’t wait to see your reaction to the next few episodes [all the episodes) and have your thinky thoughts. The book being so different in ways, able to go into details the show can’t or won’t. Ugh I love it!

Shands Amba

Lmao when the realization hits 🤣 I was waiting to see if you'd notice it. It took you a lil but you didn't disappoint. God, I still can't get over the parallels between Shen Wei & Zhao Yunlan and the girl and her grandma, when she was talking about how that person looked exactly like her grandma, but spoke and acted like a different person. 👀 I'm just sayin' ..... like I keep on seeing it more and more with each watch and it's just breaking my heart. And the little glances SW throws to ZYL make me melt. Him just saying he would basically exchange his life for the person he cares about if he could (hmm I wonder who that could be 🤔). Yeah, anyways, already one of my faves especially because of the leads. Like whoever did the casting, props to you! 👏🏼 Can't wait for next week's episodes! Loved loved loved your reaction! 🥰 Thank you so much for this and have a nice day! 💜❤💜❤💜❤💜

Andreea C.

Lols realizing just who Shen Wei is 😙👌 priceless. His Clark Kent dual persona is a delight to watch. Imagine getting a summons from the SID in the middle of a lecture, like the man's busy as hell

Love Your reactions Brittany! Rewatching these two episodes with you made me pick up a lot more details than the time I was watching alone (I was too impetuous so only caring about the main leads hahaha, not good) Looking forward to next Sat. Sending the love to you!

Ohh the fact that the grandma saw her granddaughter almost taking those pills and then taking those pills herself in a moment of clarity because she doesn’t want to be a burden to her anymore 😭 That reveal broke my heart a little bit. Going to a much happier place, however: I’m glad you’re loving the guys! Shen Wei and his micro expressions/mysterious vibe on the one hand and Zhao Yunlan and his mannerisms/humour on the other. This being based on a Priest novel, you know you are in for a wild ride - especially when it comes to the character development (and relationship development!) between the guys. It’s what I loved most about Word of Honor as well. Oh, and you are definitely not the only one eyeing the potential of a sideship with ‘Big Grumpy Guy’ and ‘Small Precious Boi Who Would Rather Be Somewhere Else At This Point’. 👀

Excited to see you react to this ridiculous but fun show! As much fun as the sci fi ness is, it is sad that censorship had to completely change the genre from the original book (mythology, ghosts, gods, etc) because the gov was super anti-superstition at the time. It really ransacked the plot and logic of the show (its all ALIENS~~~) but its admirable how they worked through those obstacles as much as they could.

spiderduck

Duuuuude when I was a kid my knee would slip *almost* entirely out of the socket all the time and I would have the exact right angle for it to slide back. Not fun. You have my sympathy <3

Brittany Diamond

OMG....you started already! It has been awhile since I have seen this, so I am gonna jump on this ride with you! Have fun! When I first started watching it, I had a strong Doctor Who vibe with the cheesy, yet can-be-super-serious, story sci-fi mysteries with little moral reveals.

Chris

Chu Shuzhi aka Lao Chu~still my favorite character in this show (minus the two main leads ofc). I'm really looking forward to future reactions! Plus, something really dumb happened to me today- I dislocated my knee and spent the afternoon in the hospital, so coming home to watch this made my night!

Cendense

Ep2.. What are we clocking? Scraped arm. Shen Wei wants to heal the arm, his first instinct. Like he healed his own shoulder. I'm guessing he can't expose himself. Too good, that you're catching those subtle looks.

Omni

So glad you're excited for this! ROTFLMAO!! The look on your face when that little doll came out of no where...*priceless* Welcome to bizzzzarrrrrre land. I'm still laughing! This is turning out to be funny in unexpected ways, just because you're so unprepared for the craziness. I love it. Bless you and thank you. <3 <3 <3 Keep your eye on the sucker. They really don't want you to take your eyes off of it. :-) PS. I love your cat.

Omni

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but episode 1 isn't working?

Dunno2000

Anyways, i enjoyed your reactions! for sure gonna stay here for a long time and watch the series together with you!

i don't know if anyone has told you this, that Guardian and Word of Honor based on the books from the same author named Priest. she's quite famous that many of her works already got adaptations (live action, donghua, manhua, etc) and they have wide range of genre. i've read 3 books and on my 4th now and i love her ship dynamic on each books. there are 3 drama from her books as well that i've anticipated greatly but will never know when they will see the light since the regulations in China became even more stricter. Sha Po Lang (costume drama, steampunk), Mo Du (modern times, crime), and Shan He Biao Li (contemporary fantasy).

Oh your reaction when you realized that the Black-Cloak Envoy was Shen Wei was priceless! No need to feel bad though, Zhao Yunlan doesn’t seem to have clocked it yet—and he is both head of an elite special investigation department and very *professionally* invested in memorizing the contours of Shen Wei’s cheekbones (cough, cough). Shen Wei’s performance of being A Normal Human Being, Nothing to See Here just gets better and better (or maybe worse and worse?) as the show goes on looooool.

HJSDlkfjksdlf get some sleep???? Please do not pass out on my account lol <3

Brittany Diamond

A lot of it are THEIR OWN CLOTHES????? I was not ready for this information where's a couch

Brittany Diamond

Eeeeebil person you! It's 2 AM! I hardly slept last night! I'm supposed to be asleep! And then there's suddenly this email notification... Hnnnnghgnnnghhhhnnn...

Minerva Grey

And so it begins... Shen Wei's "hidden" longing looks and Zhao Yunlan's checking out the merch on the hot professor ❤❤❤ Loved your reaction and was laughing so hard when you finally realized that Shen Wei and the Black Cloak Envoy are the same person 😂😂😂 it really was "it's the same actor" all over again 😂😂😂 Be prepared for all the unsubtle flirting, I mean we already had the "do you have a wife/girlfriend" and the "after this let's have dinner, my treat - no, my treat" conversations. I love that you love all the other team members as well. Really, this show is made as fantastic as it is by these characters and their interactions. :D

Lisa Kleine

"Kind of evil looking" eheheheh... Also that litany of oh nos was very relateble. And your whole first experience with Zhao Yunlan in general. I literally forgot how Much they give us in the first episode! They tell us so many things, oh my lord. The moment you clocked who the Black Cloaked Envoy was was hilarious. And hey! Zhao Yunlan doesn't recognise that lower half of the face and we *know* he's been lookin'

mirka

So the titels of each episode are kinda hilarious or have some interesting trivia in them! They are one of my favorite things in this show so I would like to share them with you each week :D. Episode 1: Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong sing a song of good and evil against all odds together. ( BTW Bai Yu is Chief Zhao Zhu Yilong is Professor Shen) Episode 2: Zhao Yunlan fancily investigates (literally:tests the bottomline) of Shen Wei

I love that you are immediately drawn to Zhao Yunlan, because I was immediately seized in the first frames of the story by Shen Wei! Shen Wei's wardrobe is stunning because most of it is Zhu Yi Long's own bespoke clothes. The show was able to ease their wardrobe budget because a lot of the actors used their own clothes. After you finish the series, please be sure to check out canary3d-obsessed's Shen Wei Serving Lewks series, it is hilarious! I am so very very much looking forward to your next reactions! :)

mwfangirl

:3 Thank you for doing this series!

Gracie

Looking forward to rewatching Guardian!! Btw all the weird aliens/mutants stuff is because they weren't allowed to show ghosts and other supernatural creatures at the time.... the novel is an entirely different genre!

I've heard that trying a different browser can help, like Firefox if You're using Chrome or vice versa <3

Brittany Diamond

Is anyone else having trouble with watching episode 1?? The video won’t load for me :(

Zandalore

Seeing you go through a confusing emotional rollercoaster ride with Shen Wei's face in his meet-cute with Zhao Yunlan reminded me of how incredible Zhu Yilong's microexpressions are. I remember FEELINGS roiling off this otherwise stoic-looking professor and that's when I was hooked! Thanks again Brittany for reacting to this AND Strangers from Hell this week. What a treat!

Jennifer D

Two more episode of Strangers from Hell and the first two of Guardian? Guess I'm not fixing my sleep schedule lmao

mirka

oh boy I am SO excited to watch you experience this delightful on-fire-trashcan of show

Yip. Chinese Torchwood is the easiest way to sum up this show in two words.

MavenCree

"Oh no. Oh no. Oh no..." 🤣

MavenCree

It's kinda ridiculous how exited I am to see you watch this. 😁

MavenCree

Anyway The Untamed, Word of Honor, Guardian, and Killer and Healer has got to be the series that have affected me the most

Kansam

Omfg you came PREPARED (ง'̀-'́)ง

Brittany Diamond

Full disclosure- I binge-watched this entire series in 3 days this week just for this, and I am READY

Kansam

LETS GOOOOO
