Day 4 - Favorite Side Couple
Let me make a confession... I'm not a side couple enthusiast. I rarely ever think, "oh, the side couple is so much better than the main couple," I just think they serve their own purpose in the storyline. See the thing is that often a side couple seem better story wise because they don't have to go through the same fabricated hurdles and character development as the main characters do.
That being said, I do have a few favorites (Jack & Lian from History3, RamKing from My Engineer, NuerSyn from Cutie Pie) but this time around I want to highlight a couple I wish we could have seen more of. YaiSand from The Sign. There's a short scene between Sand and Tharn, where she speaks about how difficult it was for the two to be together (Sand is a trans woman), and when given screen time they were so lovely, but I wish we could have had a proper origin story, like we did for Khem & Thongtai. Specially because Yai was such an endearing character. I wanted to see him fall in love!
