I absolutely agree with your points. Mae's most defining characteristic imo was her integrity and Aiwarin admired…
Agreed. It was moving too fast. As of right now, they still feel like strangers. Yes, we can see something is there, but due to the changes of the script, it doesn't feel deep and looks more surface level. They mostly feel like rivals. This is why I wished they let them got to know each other more and then Ai could've asked Maewika later down.
Ai also needs to tell May that she drugged her. Cause....
I get your point, sure, there were probably a thousand better ways Aiwarin could’ve gotten that information…
With the series, I definitely get that they're doing their own thing and they're going the dramatic route. When I watch it, I actually separate the two in my mind to not let what I've read over shadow it, but I'm gonna still have some critique.
Also, the novel was most definitely not mostly about sex. Not even in the least. Come on now. Maybe you're getting it confused with Denied Love. I'm rolling with both versions and I have nothing but trust in my girls LM and SY, regardless.
It's still doing good, but the pacing was weird. Firstly, over Aiwarin's DEAD body would she ever drug Maewika…
I need her to let Maewika know that she drugged her, because absolutely not. That's a crime. They always try to do this to the green flag characters. I wanted my lover girl, Ai!
The show is doing great but couple of things. There is a way to create drama without going to the extreme. I truly believe they have the characterization of Aiwarin and Maewika fucked up in some parts. Please bear with me as I go.
1. Aiwarin drugging May. Why? Why? Listen to me. Aiwarin is a very confident and intelligent person. She knows who she is and she acts the way she does, because she knows how hard she works and she truly knows her stuff. She wouldn't drug someone, least of all Maewika. Absolutely not. Over her rich, hot, dead body.
2. She's filthy rich and has people that can get information for her, so there is no need for her to get into May's phone. May is the one with the least experience, and while Aiwarin doesn't think May is weak (she believes in May so much it's not even funny), she knows where her strength lies. If she doesn't know something, she'll say it. I wish they went with the novel version of how they traded information with each other.
3. After drugging Maewika, she's confessing to her and asking to date? This part happened too soon. They should've made them spend more time together to get to know each other and then maybe do this in Episode 6 at least, to make it flow better.
4. Maewika. Now, this girl is stubborn so they got that right, and while she was legit falling for Aiwarin before she voiced it, she wasn't going to just accept dating Aiwarin that easily, even with the fact that it would've been kept a secret. Absolutely not. She barely knows Aiwarin and for the most part when she's around her, she's being teased and not seeing the real her which would leave her confused and this girl is not a fan of being in the dark . She was always asking questions trying to figure out what Aiwarin wanted from her and why she took a liking to her. As weak as she was when it came to Aiwarin, she was still about her business.
5. Maewika has a way of doing things by the book and while even Aiwarin tells her it won't always work, she sticks with it because that's the person she is and how she does her business. Her and Aiwarin have different styles with how they conduct their business, so she would not try to "hack" into Aiwarin's laptop to get information. She takes too much pride in her work. Superior is respected for how by the book they are.
6. The girls actually really respected each other, so it was always mentioned how they would let business be business and not ruin what they were doing together even before they were sure of each other.
Anyways, that's what I had to say. I can't wait to see what else they are going to do. Also, I hope Aiwarin takes over that company and leaves her dusty, abusive ass father broke. With father's like that, they need to bond and find a way to take over the companies. Aiwarin's mom was probably running for her life.
ngl I def didn’t like the fact that Ai drugged Maple…. this never happened in the novel and tbh Ai character…
It's still doing good, but the pacing was weird. Firstly, over Aiwarin's DEAD body would she ever drug Maewika and when she asked her to move in, I was so confused and not only that, she asked to be with May and May said yes? No.
If they continue, the next series is going to need to call upon everyone in the universe to raise their hands and lend their energy to create a spirit bomb.
I can't wait. I have to rewatch ep 1 and 2 till Saturday.
Honestly, I find that I'm not really mad about some of the changes. They're still working with some parts in the novel and honestly? It's LMSY. The series is amazing so far and I'm really here for it.
You know, upon watching the series and currently re-reading the novel, I'm getting pissed that it's only 8 episodes. There are so many beautiful scenes in the novel between these two, and I--
I can't wait. I have to rewatch ep 1 and 2 till Saturday.
Nope, I'm saving my rewatch until the series end. I'm currently re-reading the book and I can't handle the feelings I'm experiencing. I truly believe she wrote this novel for Lookmhee and Sonya. Even the author note feels like it was written for them.
Ai also needs to tell May that she drugged her. Cause....
Can't wait to see what happens!
