These two just work. No, I will not be explaining further. Rey really just went for it, and I was squealing and kicking my feet. I cannot stress enough how much life, Print, in Rey's body, gives me. I'm glad we have 6 more episodes.
I see you're trying to attach some small red flag on Lamp. But oh please, that guy has done zero wrongs. No he's…
Did this man not marry Air knowing full well she was in love with Pure? Did we not also watch this man crash out 2 episodes ago because he thought that after 3 years Air would love him even though she made it clear it wasn't going to happen? Was that Lamp or Lampt? If every nasty behavior could just go away with a sincere apology, there would not prisons.
"He's a good man Savannah, a good man!" Ahh comment.
I've only watched two episodes and I really don't like Aiwarin at all. She's smug, manipulative, disrespectful…
Maewika is all of that stuff except the sexual harassment part and the non-consensual kiss part. Let's not pretend Maewika ain't a giant hypocrite. I need them both to see a therapist, and Aiwarin to spend some time in jail for the sexual harassment.
for me Air is red flag she lied about honeymoon plus in novel Air didnt left her family because of inheritance…
I hear you on valuing integrity. For me, that’s exactly why I don’t read this as “Pure/Loft = hypocrisy, Air = victim.”
I’m also noticing your critiques zoom in on Pure and Loft but leave Air almost untouched, when she’s the one who married Lamp while still tethered to Pure and kept the stalemate alive. The series isn’t writing a saint vs sinners story: Pure crossed a line and is carrying the guilt; Loft pushes for honesty; and Air helped create the very mess everyone’s judging. If we’re talking integrity, it has to apply to all three, not just the two you have all the smoke for.
Integrity isn’t just abstaining from desire; it’s telling hard truths, setting boundaries, and owning consequences. On the screen, Loft is the one consistently pushing for daylight, and tying any future with Pure to being honest with Air. That’s not “just wanting a bed scene,” that’s demanding accountability even at the risk of losing her.
Pure isn’t portrayed as carefree or flippant either. The show keeps emphasizing her guilt and conflict. That doesn’t erase the line she crossed, but it contradicts the idea that she’s celebrating it. She’s a messy person in a messy bind, not a hypocrite in party mode.
And Air isn’t a fragile bystander here. She helped build the stalemate, marrying Lamp while still tethered to Pure, delaying a clean break, then pulling back toward Pure when she senses distance. That’s agency. If we’re handing out responsibility, it’s shared.
If someone prefers a black-and-white morality tale, this story will feel “distorted.” But the series (and novel) is intentionally grey: people wanting love, failing, and then being forced to face the cost. Judging by conduct rather than taboo, Loft reads as the one moving toward integrity; Pure is the one wearing the guilt; and Air is not this sad, sad little victim she’s often framed as.
Since TSOU, I’ve been saying this and I’ll keep saying it: the biggest issue is that female director – who…
đź’Ż. I'm still a bit salty about TSOU. They were perfect for Earn and Lada, but the execution of the characters, storyline, etc...no. The novel gave so much and they threw it through the window.

Yup. The only thing with Loft is just that Air is her sister-in-law. That's it. Air, her mom, and Lamp is where the entire thing comes from. Everything else is a reaction, consequence,etc. I'm over it. Air got herself a new love so that's fine.

Yam really said that their relationship depends on Mae and Ai. I would've just sent her back from where she came.
When Ai's father was "apologizing", I was rolling my eyes so much I thought it would stuck. Cause, what? đź’€

Anyways, let's just agree to disagree.
