Slo-Mo Rewatch Banner with a screenshot of Zhao Yunlan reclining on his couch looking at his phone

Welcome to 2026’s first installment of the Guardian drama Slo-Mo Rewatch! Watch half an episode a week, and then come and chat about it here in comments. Or you can just jump into the comments without rewatching, of course!

Episode 9 to 22:52

Summary
Lin Jing traces an energy surge linked to the Hallows to a northwest location that also happens to be the area Wang Zheng wants to travel to. Guo Changcheng tries his best to help and inadvertently buys a sex doll for Wang Zheng to travel in. On their way to the mountains, the SID come across Shen Wei and his students who are experiencing car trouble on their field trip. Coincidentally, they are also headed to the mountains. Shen Wei endures Zhao Yunlan fishing for information from Jiajia and using him as a pillow as they continue on to their destination. When their car gets stuck, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan get out to investigate and Zhao Yunlan not only insists that Shen Wei wear his jacket, but also wrangles him into it. As Shen Wei contemplates this development, they hear a scream back at the car and turn to hurry back.

Quotes

Zhu Hong: “I’m just practicing hypnotism. You’re so lucky to be the first guinea pig.”

Zhu Hong: “I’ve never seen [Zhao Yunlan] like this before. Why is he so keen on Professor Shen of all people?

Zhao Yunlan: “Normally I’m the one who gives the orders. This is the first time someone’s ordering me around.”

Detail

Shen Wei awkwardly adjusting Zhao Yunlan's cushion when Zhao Yunlan flops on him remains one of my favorite things.

Questions

How do you feel about the drama’s version of their journey to the mountains versus the airport meetup in the novel? What do you think Shen Wei was thinking when Zhao Yunlan’s convoy rolled up to help with the car trouble? Which Guardian character(s) would you like to go on a long-distance car ride with? What do you think Shen Wei did with the boyfriend jacket after they returned to Dragon City? What is your favorite part of this episode so far? Do you think Zhao Yunlan will become more involved in reviewing purchase orders after the whole doll incident?

(These are just meant to start discussion. Feel free to discuss whatever stood out to you in the first half of this episode.)

Here is our schedule for the current batch of episodes - please do sign up to host a post if you can!

As usual (and as I hoped for), fandomtrees has a one-week delay, so now I have a much better chance of finishing more than one thing, heh. Here is the latest admin post with the trees that still need gifts.

Also, candyheartsex sign-ups have closed, and three more people in my fandoms signed up after I had already gone to bed! Can't wait to find out what my actual assignment will be.

Today's writing

I worked a little on one

fandomtrees treat, started planning another, and did some brainstorming for

candyheartsex. It's still all slower going than I'd like, but I'm feeling much better, so there's that.

Third headache day in a row; this sucks. (Today is a bit better than yesterday, but I want it to go away! *kicks it*)

Today's writing

Just a little

fandomtrees work, but I'm really losing momentum here. :(

(I did finish my

candyheartsex letter last night, at least. Now I just have to hope someone requests something I can write ... Sign-ups are still open until tomorrow, btw!)

Dear

candyheartsex creator,

thank you so much for writing a story or creating art for me! I've requested and received all of these fandoms before - some I've requested for many, many years, and often with the same prompts, because when I really enjoy something, I immediately want fifty more takes on the same thing. *g* So don't worry about repeating things! I'll be absolutely thrilled about anything you can create about the relationships I requested.

Everything important is in the requests themselves, but if you'd like even more info, general likes etc., here you go.

My AO3 account is

Trobadora, and it's set to welcome treats.

Most people find deadlines help them finish things! So do I - but what they mostly do for me is make me start actually working on a thing rather than just noodling around and/or writing bits and pieces. While I do write and finish things on my own, that depends heavily on initial motivation and inspiration - whereas with exchange fics, I often find that when I do start working on something, inspiration comes along anyway. But first I have to get started! - And, well, executive function and all that ... *g*

Today's writing

I still have a headache, and everything is very slow-going, but I'm working on

fandomtrees.

(And also on my

candyheartsex letter, which is almost finished ...)

[No question today because headache.]
