00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:09,160
Hello and welcome to Big Gay 
Energy. 

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,360
I'm Caitlin. 
And I'm Fiora. 

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,600
Come along with us while we dive
into the fun and nuances of 

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,280
queer media. 
Representation matters, and 

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,600
we're. 
Here to talk about it. 

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,200
Cheers queers. 
What's on the big day agenda 

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,120
today, Theora? 
Today we're going to be 

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,640
discussing why we love the Water
the series. 

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,000
We have just wrapped up the 
second installment of the Four 

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,800
Elements Mega series with the 
Water, and today we're going to 

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,800
be talking about the series and 
everything we loved about it. 

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,240
And I emphasize the series 
because there will be a book 

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,000
club episode we'll be publishing
fairly soon. 

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,360
That's everything about the 
novel because wow, are they 

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,520
different. 
They're very different. 

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,400
So we will be talking about the 
two pieces of media separately. 

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,480
Yes. 
Yes. 

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Look forward to that. 
Look forward to that, honestly. 

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,000
I will say upfront, if you 
haven't read the novel, go read 

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,040
the novel, because the novel's 
really so good. 

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,920
It's different and it's 
different. 

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,560
So you'll get different things 
out of the novel than you will 

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,120
from the series. 
Yeah. 

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,960
And if you really love the 
series and you like our content,

25
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:28,360
just know that we reacted to all
of the four, all of the water, 

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,360
all of the four elements. 
We're reacting to all of it. 

27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,120
But at this point, we have all 
of the earth, all of the water.

clubs because I go through 
basically everything. 

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,200
You don't have to read it if you
don't have time, just say it. 

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,000
I'm just saying it's. 
Reading without reading it's. 

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,240
Reading without reading, I do it
all for you and I will be doing 

40
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,960
the air book club also, but I 
want to watch the air first 

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,080
because I like read the novel of
the water 1st and it kind of 

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,480
like ruined the Series A little 
bit because I there's not just 9

43
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,480
will not be spoiling the novel 
in this episode, but there were 

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,520
so many parts of the novel I was
like waiting for and then they 

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,840
never happened and I was like, 
no, because they were very funny

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,040
and like they just they weren't 
in the series. 

47
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,000
That made me sad. 
And judging by our comments, 

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,600
particularly on YouTube, Crimson
Studios and others, you guys 

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,840
were also feeling me when it 
came to be like, where are these

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,400
seeds? 
So there's one of them that 

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,280
showed up finally that I will 
talk about in this episode. 

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,120
So. 
I just wonder why the earth was 

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,200
so close to the book, yet this 
one is just so different. 

54
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,680
I have thoughts about that. 
So OK, just to upfront, if 

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,960
you're used to our content, this
will not be a scene by scene 

56
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,440
breakdown. 
We're just going to be talking 

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,960
about all the things we liked 
about the water. 

58
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,320
So having read the novel before 
going into the series, I know 

59
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280
why it's different. 
And the reason it's so different

60
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,720
is that the protagonist in this 
story, both Shamlada and Oppo, 

61
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,840
are introverts. 
And so with introverted 

62
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,960
characters, the best form of 
media in which to really get to 

63
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,200
know an introverted character is
a book. 

64
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,760
Because in a book you are Privy 
to their inner thoughts because 

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,960
introverts are more in their 
head than they are saying things

66
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,240
out loud. 
So you really get to know Shawn,

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,560
Laura and Oppo in the novel 
because you're in their head 

68
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,640
where where they're having the 
most of the dialogue. 

69
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,000
So I knew that going into not 
that it not that you can't have 

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,200
introverted characters and like 
get to know them. 

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,320
It's just harder on screen. 
Speaking as an introverted 

72
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,360
person, it is harder on screen 
to get to know an introvert 

73
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,600
because the introvert has to say
things out loud and that's not 

74
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,640
what they want to do. 
So I knew that they were going 

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,120
to have to, in the series, 
create scenarios where Oppo and 

76
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,760
Shan Lana were saying things out
loud that are normally in their 

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,600
heads. 
And so that's just how you have 

78
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280
to do it when you're adapting 
something on screen for 

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,160
introverted characters. 
So like I was like, they're 

80
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,720
going to have to change things 
based on that standpoint, but 

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,640
then they like went off the 
rails and really changed so many

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,280
things and I don't know why. 
And it like it make to me, it 

83
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,320
made the characters read as 
different. 

84
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,520
It's not bad. 
There's a one part I don't like 

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,600
vehemently, but for the most 
part it's not bad. 

86
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,640
It just to me, it changes the 
characters because it it made 

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,040
them more like fluffier than 
they were. 

88
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,560
Not that that's bad and it 
particularly Oppo. 

89
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520
They really changed Oppo's 
character a lot and just it made

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880
her less serious than she really
is. 

91
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,600
And that like, so it was they 
changed the characters and then 

92
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,920
they changed some of the family 
stuff. 

93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,080
And like they, they made a lot 
of changes. 

94
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,960
And I'm not entirely sure why, 
but to me, I think what they did

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,720
by making a lot of these changes
is they kept the, and this may 

96
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,160
be a North Star thing because 
now it's just North Star doing 

97
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,400
this. 
It may just be they were trying 

98
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,520
to keep the tone of this story 
in line with the tone of the 

99
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,080
earth because the Earth is very 
like sweepingly romantic and 

100
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,040
really sweet because Din and 
Rose have a 20 year history and 

101
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,840
it's like childhood friends to 
my first love kind of situation.

102
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:29,360
So it's very like old school 
romance. 

103
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,040
It's like one of the most 
romantic stories ever written. 

104
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,880
And so like the the the show, 
you really felt that you felt 

105
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,840
that warmth and all that kind of
stuff. 

106
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,640
It's like Hallmark to a story 
like theirs. 

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,160
And I feel like they tried to 
also keep that going with the 

108
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,200
water, but the water is a very 
different story because you have

109
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,160
like the rivals stuff and then 
you have two intellects falling 

110
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,000
in love, which is for the first,
like actively falling in love. 

111
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,640
Not we have a history already 
like Din and Rose and we're just

112
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,080
rekindling the history. 
So but like they kind of kept 

113
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,960
the tone the same and it's like 
I'm like it that changed the 

114
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,440
story for me personally. 
And I get in the vibe from other

115
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,760
people that read the novel. 
You also feel the same way as 

116
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960
me. 
And again, to quote Crimson 

117
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,000
Studio, not saying it's bad, 
it's different. 

118
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,720
It's just very different. 
But North Star did some stuff. 

119
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,760
I don't like all the changes 
they made, but I understand why 

120
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,520
they had to make changes. 
Particularly with this story. 

121
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,840
I feel like going into the air, 
it might be more faithful 

122
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,800
because a lot of the stuff they 
changed in here had to do with 

123
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,040
Lam also, and it's Lam's story 
and Lam is extroverted. 

124
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,080
So I feel like you're not going 
to have to change much because, 

125
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,880
yeah, she's going to tell you 
everything. 

126
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,040
Like. 
With Oppo, you, you have to when

127
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,640
you're taking Oppo in the book 
where you get her thoughts, you 

128
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,200
have to change the story. 
You just to say it out loud kind

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,080
of thing for us to get it. 
That is very true. 

130
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,680
Yeah. 
I I feel like I need to read the

131
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,080
book at this point. 
It's a very good book. 

132
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:06,840
I, I, I can't like plug enough 
how good this author is. 

133
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,240
Like the four elements is really
good. 

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,520
So I've only read the first two,
but I'm very excited to read 

135
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,880
more from this author because 
she does a great job at 

136
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,840
characterization and like the 
whole plot of the water is very 

137
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,240
much about the character, the 
characterization of WADA and 

138
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,600
Oppo and how they kind of come 
together. 

139
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,640
This changed it and made it more
like situational and stuff and 

140
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,120
like which I guess is more of 
ATV thing. 

141
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,120
So which the irony is like the 
author and all the novels makes 

142
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,960
and her writing makes fun of TV 
tropes and then the TV shows go 

143
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,440
and do them. 
So I wonder if she signed off on

144
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,800
that. 
I honestly wonder, but anyway. 

145
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600
Or like what was her thoughts 
while watching it? 

146
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,560
You're like, really? 
Or like did she have a say when 

147
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,360
they were doing the script? 
Because she flat I did. 

148
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,920
I if you go if you go to the 
Earth novel book club, I go into

149
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,680
that in detail about what they 
did there and how she was like 

150
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,080
very much being like, this is 
ridiculous and romance, not in 

151
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,800
romance tropes. 
And then the show's like, we're 

152
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,240
just going to do it. 
Come on. 

153
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,200
Anyway. 
OK, so we're going to put the 

154
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,440
novel aside and just talk about 
the series. 

155
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,360
So in general, personally, I'm 
just going to start with Nam and

156
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Lada because I in the series, I 
like the pacing of their story 

157
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,480
because this is a slow burn and 
I love me a slow burn romance 

158
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,080
like I'm a hence why Girl Rose, 
I'm loving Sasha and Goria. 

159
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,159
I'm here for the slow burn. 
I'm here for the slow burn. 

160
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,720
I like it and they kept it. 
It paced it well for a slow burn

161
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,920
romance which is in their story.
Yes, they don't have to kiss in 

162
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,760
the first episode like some girl
loves and that's fine, it's not 

163
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,840
them. 
No, that's not them at all. 

164
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:02,280
No, but it was very nice getting
to see just their story evolved 

165
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:12,560
because Lada comes in just 
trying to deceive her and work 

166
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:16,560
for her brother to like try not 
to redeem herself, but to like 

167
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:22,360
prove that she's worthy to be in
their family because her 

168
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,560
father's a piece of shit and so 
is her half brother. 

169
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:31,240
She's got one brother that's 
decent at least, but Pat's an 

170
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:38,440
asshole anyway so she's trying 
to do all that, but then pretty 

171
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,080
lady comes in in to play. 
So like, how do you not fall for

172
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,200
that? 
And like she doesn't even 

173
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,120
realize she's falling for that. 
And then eventually she does. 

174
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,200
OK. 
But then Lada is like, OK, all 

175
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,560
you're saying is true, but Lana 
falls into her own trap. 

176
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,960
And that's said over and over 
again because this hoe is like, 

177
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,480
OK, let me first. 
It starts with her scoping out 

178
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,760
the joint with her best friend. 
And she's like, let's find what 

179
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,120
something wrong with the hotel? 
And then they're like, nothing 

180
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,400
is wrong with this hotel. 
It's five stars for a reason. 

181
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,120
And then she's like, OK, I got 
to change my plan. 

182
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,200
I I have a hypothesis that 
queerness is genetic in her 

183
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,200
family because thin and long, 
therefore oppo must also be into

184
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,400
women's. 
I'm going to seduce her now and 

185
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,600
then a lot of ends up falling 
for Nam in the in the process of

186
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,920
being like, well, 5050 shot of 
her being. 

187
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,360
Queer. 
It must be Gen. 

188
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,840
I love that it's it's genetic 
and friends like what are you 

189
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,800
talking about? 
That conversation is one of my 

190
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,320
fucking favorite conversations. 
It's so funny, like it's 

191
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,520
genetic. 
I'm I have a shot that was 

192
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,640
hilarious. 
One day +2. 

193
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,000
Gay equals all gay, which is so 
fucking funny. 

194
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,640
And then, all right. 
And then, like, later, OK. 

195
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,680
And then in the novel, this is 
not a spoiler. 

196
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,200
But like in the show, obviously,
like, Lam shows up and then is 

197
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,440
like, flirting with every woman 
who is alive and then like, 

198
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,760
including Lada. 
And then it's like, oh, I'm into

199
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,360
her. 
And in the novel, Lada thinks to

200
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,320
herself, God, this would have 
been so much easier if like Mom 

201
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,800
was in charge of the hotel 
because like the mission will be

202
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,240
over in 5 minutes. 
So. 

203
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,440
So my question is, OK, like how 
does the scenario go down? 

204
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,080
A lot of trying to infiltrate 
the hotel if the other four 

205
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,400
elements were like the heiress? 
Because with Mom, I think it's 

206
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,960
over in 5 minutes. 
And like she would divulge 

207
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,360
everything because she was 
trying to flirt with her by 

208
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,760
accident. 
I feel like. 

209
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Dan would be oblivious. 
Dan would also do the same thing

210
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,680
Fi could. 
My question of Fi's could Fi sit

211
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,360
still long enough to run a hotel
Because she seems like she's 

212
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,760
always on the run like she would
have she. 

213
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,680
Would sell that hotel. 
In the second I I feel like 

214
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:10,040
she'd have a proxy. 
Like I feel like a prim would be

215
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,720
working a lot harder because 5 
would be off doing whatever and 

216
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,000
then we'd just check in and be 
like, how's it going assistant 

217
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,400
And so like lot would be like 
damn, that's not going to work 

218
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,440
because the assistants don't 
want to charge. 

219
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,200
Although I don't know. 
She was. 

220
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,240
No, it wasn't her. 
I was like one of them was 

221
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,320
flirting with mom at the end in 
the wedding, which that bitch 

222
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,400
the way she every 5 minutes, 
she's like you single girl. 

223
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,360
Wasn't it prim? 
No, I think it was. 

224
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,280
I forget their names. 
It was like the like Lada's 

225
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,040
direct boss when she was a 
receptionist. 

226
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,160
It was her Wendy I think was her
name. 

227
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,560
I think it was Wendy, not Prem 
Prem was like in charge and then

228
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:53,640
they swat anyway. 
I was like God damn it. 

229
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:58,480
Like Mom never turns it off Like
so to Lada's point, the 

230
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,240
mission's over in 5 minutes if 
this was Mom. 

231
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:04,960
You just brought up the wedding 
real quick. 

232
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,920
And I know like we'll get into 
that real quick, but like just 

233
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,760
really quickly. 
I love like the Phi being like, 

234
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,680
we'll do it together for the 
bouquet toss. 

235
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,520
And then at the last minute, she
just raises her hands like. 

236
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,480
Nope, not me. 
That was really cute. 

237
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Yeah, that was cute. 
The way they rewrote that in the

238
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:30,080
show, because in the Earth it 
was like the the next youngest, 

239
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,320
like set up their their like 
elder cousin who's like a year 

240
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,800
before them. 
So like Lam, who's third set set

241
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,520
it up for Nam #2 and then you 
have #4 spy setting it up for 

242
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,200
Lam #3. 
How the OK. 

243
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,880
So then the bouquet becomes this
passing of the torch thing. 

244
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,400
So Phi's going to get it in the 
air, but who's going to give it 

245
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,880
to her like. 
Or will she? 

246
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,200
And then what's going to happen 
in the fire? 

247
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,400
Is she going to? 
Hide and be like I don't want 

248
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,320
this fucking bouquet at all. 
Don't try and give this to me. 

249
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,680
And then like runs away and then
like wakes up and it's like in 

250
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:08,880
the bed with her like like like 
some like fucking what is that 

251
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,240
mafia shit where like the dead 
horse head and she's like no, 

252
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:14,760
just giving you ideas. 
Salmon. 

253
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,440
If you don't hurry, you already 
wrote it, but still. 

254
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,400
Oh my gosh, that that is a 
theory if I ever heard one. 

255
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,600
It was very, very cute. 
Yeah, the passing of the torch 

256
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,600
and the next time on the floor 
elements, it's the air. 

257
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Yeah, I really love when they do
that. 

258
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,520
And I love that Lada was the one
like, can I choose who gets it? 

259
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Yeah, that came. 
From the novel, which is cute 

260
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,680
and. 
That's cute, and it was a very 

261
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,760
interesting way to do that with 
the ribbons. 

262
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,200
Yeah, I don't. 
I don't. 

263
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,040
I'm not familiar with that 
tradition, and I'm also not 

264
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,960
entirely sure why everybody else
dropped the ribbons unless Lada 

265
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,360
told them in advance, because 
this was different from the 

266
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,400
book. 
And so I was very confused 

267
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,600
watching that because literally 
everybody let's go of their 

268
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,240
ribbons, not just by it was kind
of weird. 

269
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,560
I thought it wasn't connected to
and so she dropped all the ones 

270
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,200
that weren't connected to the 
flowers. 

271
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,120
Maybe I don't know. 
I don't know this tradition so I

272
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,680
thought it was kind. 
Of no, I don't either. 

273
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,560
I've never seen it. 
I've never seen it, but cute. 

274
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,760
Yes. 
Very yeah. 

275
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,800
So I think overall their story 
was very like Nam and Lotta was 

276
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,000
very it was very sweet and 
romantic. 

277
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,040
Like that was the tone that not 
that it's not the Canon, like 

278
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,640
the book is Canon to me, and not
that the Canon is not sweet and 

279
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,600
romantic. 
It is, but it has a different 

280
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,320
tone to it because it's 
intellects falling in love 

281
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,320
versus the series was very like 
comparable to the earth. 

282
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,560
So I feel like that's just the 
the brand that the series is 

283
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,880
going for. 
Like the mega series. 

284
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,600
They're like this is going to be
sweepingly romantic and very 

285
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560
like diabetic inducing the way 
we're going to go about all of 

286
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,000
these stories because they they 
are very sweet and they're very 

287
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,560
like true love conquers all kind
of stories like at at if you 

288
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,360
were to boil them down very 
simply. 

289
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,360
So I'm not mad at North Star for
doing that. 

290
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,840
It's just that it did change 
Oppo's character and Lada 

291
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,640
because they like tone them down
a little bit. 

292
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,080
Like they tone down how serious 
Oppo really is and how people 

293
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,400
misinterpret her because she's 
so serious and so introverted 

294
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,840
and quiet versus like Lada is. 
They finally like describe her 

295
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,440
like correctly at the very last 
episode where not long, although

296
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,400
mom would probably say this too,
but Nam is like you're very 

297
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,360
you're like a chili pepper. 
You're very like small but 

298
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,680
fiery. 
And it's like, yeah, Lada is 

299
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,920
very fierce. 
And like they toned her down a 

300
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,160
lot in the series, like just how
fucking combative she is. 

301
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,280
And it made her like they 
softened both characters. 

302
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,600
I think to go with the like, 
this is romantic a little bit I 

303
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,360
feel like. 
Lada was more fiery in the 

304
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,520
beginning, and then like halfway
through it was just like her 

305
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,160
family, like drama just got so 
much to her that she was just 

306
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,720
like scared. 
And she did. 

307
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,640
She just didn't seem to be 
acting like. 

308
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,800
Herself after a little while, 
yeah. 

309
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,560
And you can read that as she 
feels small and like, and then I

310
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,440
don't think that's like an out 
of character thing. 

311
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,720
Because when you start the 
series, it starts with her 

312
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,360
family dinner thing where the 
dad is being misogynistic and 

313
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:35,520
shit and like reaming at Pat 
because of the hotel and you see

314
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,200
how small she is in her family 
dynamics. 

315
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,200
So once the family dynamics come
back, she gets small again. 

316
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,000
That's the impact of her family,
which makes the dad's redemption

317
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,920
arc at the end fucked up. 
And that was not in the book. 

318
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,280
And I'm the most mad about that.
This is some like reverse with 

319
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,440
me shit where they're like, 
we're going to gaslight you into

320
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,640
being like he's a good guy. 
No, I do not accept any of that.

321
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,960
That was I redemption arc that 
at the end that was fucked up. 

322
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,960
No, I rebuke that. 
All I know is I was saying he 

323
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,880
was a terrible dude the entire 
time so he. 

324
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,400
Was you can't, you can't out and
this maybe it's just a North 

325
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,520
Star thing because they produced
poisonous love. 

326
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,400
Like where they're like. 
Even if even if parents do 

327
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,600
unforgivable shit like blackmail
their partner for murder for 

328
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,680
years to wrap them in the 
relationship. 

329
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,560
He's your dad and when he's 
pitiful you need to take care of

330
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,480
him because family like. 
And lot of that. 

331
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:40,680
Fuck that. 
No, her mother has no obligation

332
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,000
to that man anymore. 
The fact that she was taking 

333
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,600
care of him pissed me off more 
than anything. 

334
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,480
The. 
Fact that Lotta asked her to EW.

335
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,440
Like they they went through a 
legal battle against this man 

336
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,520
who was trying to legally get 
like put her in jail and then 

337
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,680
like take care of him because 
he's pathetic now. 

338
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:05,280
Like, no, no, that was gross. 
And that was absolutely not in 

339
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,960
the novel. 
Fuck that decision of North 

340
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,400
Star. 
That was fucked. 

341
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,320
No, absolutely not. 
That was it was gross. 

342
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,760
And then to be like, then to be 
like your dad. 

343
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,680
And then in that conversation, 
mom's lot is like, oh, did he 

344
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,920
see this front page new like 
magazine article about how great

345
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,440
I am as a businesswoman? 
And her mom's, did he say 

346
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,000
anything? 
And she's like, that's how he 

347
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,280
is. 
It means he's proud of you. 

348
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,200
But no, it doesn't. 
No, he's quite literally said he

349
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,480
was not proud of her her entire 
life. 

350
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,640
Right. 
Like the gaslighting in that 

351
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,640
scene where the women are 
gaslighting themselves to be 

352
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,240
like, this is love with men. 
Like, no, no. 

353
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,960
Meanwhile, you have Watt, who's 
actually a good brother at the 

354
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,600
end of the day. 
It's like, hidden for a while, 

355
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,040
but like, he's actually a good 
brother. 

356
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,520
Like, the validation should come
from him being like, I'm proud 

357
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,400
of you, not the dad who does not
deserve this. 

358
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Yeah. 
That was gross. 

359
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,360
I was so mad at watching. 
That was like, what of all the 

360
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:09,320
things you could have changed, 
why did you change this? 

361
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,200
Why this was so unnecessary? 
Oh, that was gross. 

362
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,360
I hated that so much. 
Yeah, no, I just, I couldn't 

363
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,320
believe that Lot is the one who 
asked her mom to take care of 

364
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,160
him when they she literally says
that we have someone who can 

365
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,600
take care of him. 
Yes, you guys have money, pay 

366
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,960
somebody else. 
You have no that your mother was

367
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,000
traumatized by this man. 
This is disgusting to be like go

368
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,640
take care. 
And I know like culturally 

369
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,760
that's a thing in like 
patriarchy and in Thailand. 

370
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,520
We've seen it before. 
I'm assuming I'm not we are not 

371
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,520
Thai. 
We are not of the culture, but 

372
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,040
like, I've seen it in Thai 
grownups to give me context. 

373
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:55,080
But the author explicitly did 
not write this in the novel. 

374
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,160
And for you to fucking change 
this, to give this man a 

375
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,000
redemption arc to be like, all 
family is valid is really gross.

376
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,640
That's what makes me mad, that 
you change the Canon that said, 

377
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,480
oh, it's OK to walk away. 
And then you're like, no, it's 

378
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,200
not. 
It's like, why? 

379
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,560
Why did we change this? 
Yeah, that's what makes me mad. 

380
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,440
Yeah, same with the reverse of 
me. 

381
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Reverse with me did the same 
thing. 

382
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,720
Like it was the the point of 
being like it's OK to walk away 

383
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,720
from toxic family members. 
And then the show was like, no, 

384
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,040
what? 
We can't show that on TV? 

385
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,000
We got a all families valid even
when they're fucking harmful to 

386
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,800
you and try to throw you in 
jail. 

387
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,200
It's like. 
Like literally physically 

388
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,960
abusive. 
He he held on, he held on a 

389
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,480
knife, told her she killed 
someone, which also this is all 

390
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800
in the show, by the way, told 
her she killed someone. 

391
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Why didn't we put that in there?
That was so weird. 

392
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,480
I was like, why are we doing 
this? 

393
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:55,440
Anyway? 
All right, let's get off of this

394
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840
because I really, I really hate 
that so much. 

395
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,720
Let's talk about other parents 
that are great, which is Nom's 

396
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,720
dad. 
Nom's dad is amazing and he 

397
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,760
worked so hard to get these two 
together. 

398
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,600
Here's the word yes, he really 
does. 

399
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,000
And he he, he's like, I see you 
and like he knew who she was, 

400
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,920
who Lotta was as well. 
And so he's like, no, no, you're

401
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,680
just exactly what my daughter 
needs to stop working too hard. 

402
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,480
She needs to still work and like
take care of this business, but 

403
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,520
she's working a little too hard.
She's too focused. 

404
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:36,640
I need her to be in love. 
So you, I pick you and then him 

405
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,040
coming to visit her at work and 
be like, I'm going to take you 

406
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:40,800
out to. 
Lunch. 

407
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,200
Let's go. 
Oh my God. 

408
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,240
And then at the dinner, he's 
like, at lunch he's like, call 

409
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,960
me dad like Nam does. 
And she's like. 

410
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,480
What she's like. 
I just started. 

411
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,120
Working here. 
What is going on, Boss? 

412
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,240
What? 
And, you know, entirely. 

413
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,800
And that's like a super intimate
thing, like the naming somebody 

414
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,720
in a way that removes all, like,
hierarchy between you. 

415
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,480
So the fact she doesn't know 
what's going on, she's like, 

416
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,720
that's a huge thing. 
You're asking me to do a very 

417
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,280
intimate thing. 
And she's like, what is 

418
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,160
happening right now? 
Oh yeah. 

419
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,200
Yeah, and and then like, he 
still has to get them together 

420
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,400
even in the last episode. 
Like it's his idea to be like 

421
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,440
cream. 
Call Lada and tell her that Nam 

422
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,560
resigned. 
Like OK, get them back together 

423
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,560
with. 
Lying, first of all, yeah, 

424
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,200
that's a serious thing. 
But yeah, no, I do love the dad 

425
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,440
because he is just their number 
one shipper the whole fucking 

426
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,400
time. 
And that is Canon. 

427
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,360
And it's really sweet to have a 
parent that is so supportive 

428
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,960
that they're like, I will 
literally date her for you, Nam,

429
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,360
because you don't know how to 
date. 

430
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,880
You can't human. 
And she literally is like Nam 

431
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,800
give her the flowers. 
Nah dude he even ordered her 

432
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,960
out. 
He's like can you date her 

433
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,640
properly? 
Come on let's get this going. 

434
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,320
I love that. 
Like I know you have no 

435
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,360
experience with this, but come 
on, let's get going my daughter.

436
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,280
Can't human, so I'm going to 
human for you because I was in a

437
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,760
relationship. 
This was really cute and then to

438
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,200
see him in like Fa's 
relationship together and like 

439
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,080
them scheming and just talking 
about everything, it was just so

440
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,400
cute to see. 
It's just nice to not. 

441
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,800
I hate a parent. 
It's nice to have a very 

442
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,960
supportive and like you can also
see like Lada's mom loves her. 

443
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,640
Yeah. 
So it's not that they're like 

444
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,320
the four elements is very much 
like as a, from what I gather, 

445
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,760
is very much about family in a 
good way, like supportive family

446
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,440
surrounding each of the element 
cousins. 

447
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,720
Like their story at the end of 
the day is about like family 

448
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,720
helping them and leaning on 
family. 

449
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,760
So in the water, the water's a 
little bit different from the 

450
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,120
earth in the sense that in the 
Earth, the cousins are a lot 

451
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:59,080
more involved with supporting 
Din. 

452
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,040
And then in the water 
canonically and in the series, 

453
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,720
it's Nam's dad is he replaces 
the cousins both in support and 

454
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,280
in chaos in the in the show. 
I mean, in the story he's the 

455
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,480
chaotic element, but the cousins
do show up, they're just not 

456
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,520
there as involved as much. 
Like Lam is the most involved, 

457
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,560
hence her getting the like 
bouquet by Lada at the end. 

458
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,000
She interacts the most with 
them. 

459
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,000
There are more scenes with the 
cousins in the novel that they 

460
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,720
cut unfortunately. 
But like, I think that there's 

461
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,160
filming stuff going on because I
imagine towards the end of this 

462
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,320
the air started filming. 
And so like it's harder to get 

463
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,880
all of that, especially because 
like it seems like Dan and Rose 

464
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,520
are involved at the beginning of
the air. 

465
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,040
So it might, there might just be
scheduling stuff in the series 

466
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,360
honestly, which is why they 
can't have certain scenes, which

467
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:53,200
is totally understandable 
because they're trying to film 

468
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,480
like 4 shows and coordinate all 
these schedules, you know? 

469
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,680
Yeah, that's a lot. 
It's a lot. 

470
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,640
And like, I think Ingfa was 
doing some teaser thing where 

471
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,080
before it aired and she was 
talking about how I think she's 

472
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,160
also filming another series 
right now simultaneously where 

473
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,040
she's playing as CEO. 
Like so like these pictures are 

474
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,720
busy like the ones in this in 
this series. 

475
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,640
So I can understand why they 
would have to sacrifice a lot of

476
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,560
scenes with the cousins and 
stuff because of scheduling, 

477
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,600
because they're these are all 
popular actors. 

478
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,560
And that's kind of like a 
downside of doing that. 

479
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,840
It's just like this guy, I don't
even know what the schedule 

480
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,600
looks like for these guys. 
Like it must be crazy hard to 

481
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,360
schedule this show. 
Oh yeah, I can't even imagine 

482
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,320
that. 
And like, this is a thing where 

483
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,080
like, everything has to go 
right? 

484
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,800
Because if we lose a filming 
day, whole schedule's messed. 

485
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,600
Up, yeah, 100% yeah, you're 
fucked. 

486
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,280
Yeah. 
So kudos to continuity with the 

487
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,720
actors like. 
Yeah, kudos to all the crew 

488
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,920
working behind the scenes and 
the talent who's probably 

489
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,720
exhausted trying to get all this
done. 

490
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:01,960
Seriously. 
OK, so Speaking of Speaking of 

491
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,840
cousins, let's just keep on the 
train with the cousins, the 

492
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,760
weddings, the wedding karaoke 
scene at the end. 

493
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,240
What are your thoughts on that? 
Oh my gosh, that was hilarious 

494
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:19,200
because the fact that lot of not
lot of Nam was like, where are 

495
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,480
they the weddings about to 
happen? 

496
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,040
And like they're not here and 
I'm like, are they just not 

497
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,360
going to show up to this 
wedding? 

498
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:28,440
But no, all of a sudden the 
lights go out and then they 

499
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,520
start singing. 
Like, of course they have to 

500
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,680
make a big production out of it.
Although that's why go ahead, 

501
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,200
sorry, go ahead. 
But Nam then joins in. 

502
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,520
So like, did she plan it with 
me? 

503
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,840
Although I'm. 
Like since when condensing? 

504
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,800
Yeah, since when condensing that
has not been. 

505
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,680
This is like it reminded me of 
watching that because this is 

506
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,040
just for the series that they 
did this. 

507
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:55,640
They I was like, it reminded me 
of Pluto when my own just starts

508
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,720
serenading me and like, since 
nothing has shown me canonically

509
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,480
that this woman can sing and 
then she's serenading 

510
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,520
professionally and I was like, 
this is weird. 

511
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:07,880
But so that took me out. 
That took me out for a second 

512
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,680
because I'm like, since wine can
din, the farmers sing. 

513
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,000
But it was really cute to see 
them have fun together as a 

514
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,360
group because they're they're 
they're not in it a lot, the 

515
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:20,000
cousins. 
So it was really cute to have 

516
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,840
them support Nam in their own 
chaotic way, which was them 

517
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:27,240
interrupting a kiss to like 
sing. 

518
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,520
And then, yeah, Nam gets on 
stage with them. 

519
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,720
So I feel like she knew, but 
yeah, like maybe she was. 

520
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,000
Just nervous because like this 
she was going to be performing 

521
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,240
with them. 
Yeah, she's like where the. 

522
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:38,360
Fuck are they actually you're 
supposed to do this? 

523
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,800
But all I could think about is 
like, is this what sleepovers 

524
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,440
were like for them growing up? 
Oh my God, that's a that's a 

525
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,040
question. 
That's a really good question. 

526
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,120
What were their cousins 
sleepovers like? 

527
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,760
They had to and then which 
cousin was the instigator for 

528
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,640
like? 
Performing mom or five like 2 

529
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,160
chaotic ones. 
It had to be them cuz Nam would 

530
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,680
never and then dins too much. 
And then Lam's thigh would just 

531
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,240
start fighting over like what 
they're going to be singing and 

532
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,400
just be hilarious. 
I would like the rehearsal of 

533
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,160
this song. 
You would like what? 

534
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,840
The rehearsal part of the song 
because they had to have sung 

535
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,520
it. 
Before and like rehearsed it. 

536
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,880
Oh for sure for sure. 
I'm also like is this an excuse 

537
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,920
to have a a mega OST with all 
these women singing together? 

538
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,600
Cuz I can understand that from a
production standpoint. 

539
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,800
Yeah, that, that makes the most 
sense. 

540
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,040
But it was very cute. 
It was cute to see them having 

541
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,520
fun because that's, that's, 
that's what makes the four 

542
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,480
elements different as a, as a 
story and really enjoyable to 

543
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,360
watch is just the happy family 
dynamics that go on in the 

544
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,160
story. 
Because like I said, it's it's 

545
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,240
very much about family. 
But Speaking of family, there is

546
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,680
an elephant in the room with the
family stuff that I think at 

547
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,240
this point really needs to be 
addressed. 

548
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,680
And that's who is FA because. 
FA. 

549
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,040
Is an OG series character. 
They invented this character for

550
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,080
the series. 
This person does not exist in 

551
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,400
the novels, OK. 
And so she first shows up in the

552
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,040
four out in the in Earth as this
reporter who's kind of helping 

553
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,480
with the human trafficking 
thing. 

554
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,520
She's in the family group chat, 
group chat. 

555
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,400
Apparently. 
I didn't realize that somebody 

556
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,040
saw that caught that online. 
Good job. 

557
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,520
Whoever did, they were like, 
because when they send the SOS, 

558
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,400
she's in the group chat. 
So I, I, I think we get the 

559
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,320
context in the water that 
they're like setting, they set 

560
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,120
her up to be Nam's step sister 
on her mother's side. 

561
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,840
So meaning she's not related to 
the chaos cousins by blood, but 

562
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,520
she's related by marriage 
through Nam's mother. 

563
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,240
That makes sense. 
I think that's what this is. 

564
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,280
I thought someone said that she 
was a cousin but like. 

565
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,720
No, Yeah, no, I think they share
the same mother, I think is 

566
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,760
what's happening here because if
she's a, it doesn't make sense 

567
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,440
if she's a cousin, if she's a 
four, she's part of the elements

568
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,560
it has. 
To be on the well probably 

569
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,000
separated, but like not, yeah, I
don't know. 

570
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,320
No. 
It's an OG care. 

571
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,720
I think that's what they're 
talking about because like 

572
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,640
there's conversations between FA
and Nom what they're talking 

573
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,560
about. 
Remember how mom said this like 

574
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,560
and then when she refers to 
Nam's dad, it's uncle. 

575
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,200
So I think that they share a 
mother because we know because 

576
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,160
like in the novel, Nam's mother 
is kind of involved. 

577
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,800
There is no FA. 
And I think that I have theories

578
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,120
about who FA is supposed to be 
kind of thing. 

579
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,640
So anyway, she's related to 
them, but not related by the 

580
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,920
dads because then she'd be an 
element kind of thing. 

581
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,880
But she seems to be closest to 
Nam specifically, hence why 

582
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,080
she's hanging out with the dad 
and all that kind of stuff. 

583
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,960
So in the series they changed 
Nam's parents storyline. 

584
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,840
So they divorced them in the 
series. 

585
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,360
And I think that's they did that
as a cautionary tale for like 

586
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,880
Nam being too much of A 
workaholic and like neglecting 

587
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,720
the people you love. 
And that's why dad is like, Oh 

588
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,560
my God, Nam, you got to make it 
work because like I'm single 

589
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,440
now. 
So I think that was kind of why 

590
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,240
they made that change. 
And then I think the reason FA 

591
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,920
exists not exists, but like, 
maybe actually, I don't know, 

592
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,560
they were plotting this whole 
thing out when they wrote it. 

593
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,320
I think the reason she's so 
prominent in the water, I'll say

594
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:24,520
that is because Nam is an 
introvert and in order to 

595
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,480
portray her on screen, she has 
to talk to somebody. 

596
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:35,160
So I think FA as like a family 
member who's not an element for 

597
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,120
Nam to talk to. 
It makes sense to have FA be 

598
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,760
that person because Nam 
canonically doesn't have time 

599
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,000
for human beings unless she is 
related to you and she loves 

600
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,120
you, right? 
So there's no way this character

601
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,080
is going to divulge their inner 
thoughts and feelings to just 

602
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,080
anybody. 
It has to be a family member and

603
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,440
the elements are not involved in
this story. 

604
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,400
And also not involved heavily in
this story. 

605
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,440
And also, like I just said, 
booking them would be hard. 

606
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,440
So they need a tertiary 
character for her to talk to. 

607
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,400
That's plausible for us to be 
like, OK, Nam would be tell 

608
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,120
them, oh, I like this part. 
You know what I mean? 

609
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,320
It has to be so many Nam trusts.
And so like they had to craft a 

610
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,680
family member because that would
be the only thing that made 

611
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,320
sense. 
So I think that's why I fought 

612
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,320
is like this like adjacent 
family member who's closest to 

613
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:30,560
Nam. 
And so to me that made sense to 

614
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,600
like create this brand new 
character that like because you 

615
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,000
have to get Nam's thoughts out 
of her head to talk to a human 

616
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,040
in the series versus in the 
novel, there is no FA and say, 

617
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,840
but you get Nam's thoughts. 
And so like you understand where

618
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,080
she's coming from in scenes, but
I think that's who FA is 

619
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,760
supposed to be. 
It's like she's exposition for 

620
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,240
Nam and she's an excuse for 
exposition for her to say things

621
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,840
out loud. 
Exposition So. 

622
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,560
I think that makes sense, yeah. 
For. 

623
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:05,160
Yeah, why she's here. 
So I think that that's why she 

624
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,360
exists because like, yeah, 
anyway, but like to your point, 

625
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,960
then you get to have her 
interacting with the dad because

626
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:14,920
the dad is like a lot like his 
daughter and also like doesn't 

627
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,880
have friends and people have 
talked to and so like to get his

628
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,880
thoughts out loud. 
You like FA is this FA is this 

629
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,679
intermediary between like 
introverts inner thoughts and 

630
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:27,400
like saying them out loud. 
So we benefit from seeing it. 

631
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,480
I think that's what she's 
supposed to be. 

632
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:39,040
I think that sounds very like 
what it was, Yeah. 

633
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,159
But yeah, it's also nice to see,
like, her weave throughout the 

634
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:46,280
stories, too. 
I wonder if she'll be involved 

635
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,800
in the air. 
I feel like she has to because 

636
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,920
she's a reporter and then mom's 
woman is a Princess. 

637
00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:00,800
And I mean, royal Family Press. 
Like watch her get this in this 

638
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,360
Intel and be like I can't write 
about it. 

639
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,480
Possibly, yeah. 
I think she's going to be a 

640
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,560
through line throughout the 
entire 4 elements as just again,

641
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,040
like an excuse. 
She's in it in the in the Earth.

642
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,600
She was like a plot device. 
She moved the plot along. 

643
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,960
I think they're using that 
character to move the plot or 

644
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,920
like get introverts to say 
things out loud and like the 

645
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,640
rest of the characters are not 
introverts. 

646
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,360
So I think she's going to be a 
plot device. 

647
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:38,480
Yeah, but another cousin moment 
that I really loved is just from

648
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:44,440
the very first episode with Lam,
like hitting on Lada. 

649
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:49,480
Yeah, because that was just such
a fun storyline and just getting

650
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:56,480
to see them interact together. 
They're hilarious first of all 

651
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,960
and then just making Nam jealous
to the point where she's 

652
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:06,360
literally hiding Lada throughout
the hotel so Lam can't find her 

653
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,280
and just Lam texting her like 
where is she? 

654
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,920
Like, I know she's with you. 
I like that Lam calls her out. 

655
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:21,000
That's what I like. 
It's just so very funny. 

656
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:26,760
It's very, very funny. 
I just, I, I love them, yeah. 

657
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,960
OK. 
I have a question about NOM that

658
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,160
I've seen kind of float around 
and I have a question. 

659
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:38,080
So like, do you think NOM is on 
the autism spectrum? 

660
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,160
Because I think you can make an 
argument for this honestly, and 

661
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,520
I think it's more apparent if 
you read the novel, but. 

662
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,600
I think you could make an 
argument for that. 

663
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,680
I or she's just very awkward at 
times. 

664
00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:59,880
I mean, no, she's definitely 
awkward. 

665
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,280
She's like she's the most like 
den. 

666
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:10,840
She's definitely awkward. 
She's definitely not great with 

667
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,040
social situations. 
No, she's the worst. 

668
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,400
Yeah, she doesn't know how. 
Like especially with the the 

669
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,520
flower scene where she just 
literally was like did not know 

670
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,400
how. 
To talk. 

671
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,080
She doesn't really know how to 
like communicate with Lada, 

672
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,520
especially in the beginning. 
And so like when she was asking 

673
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,840
for the roses back and then was 
like, I'm going to throw them in

674
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,560
the trash. 
First of all, that was wild. 

675
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,240
Be like you're. 
Just going to waste these 

676
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:40,760
flowers now. 
And then even when she went to 

677
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,080
give her tulips, she's just very
awkward and like socially, like 

678
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,240
doesn't know how to act. 
So I could see it there. 

679
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,040
She's definitely not that this 
is a case for the spectrum. 

680
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,800
Like like if you can't anyway, 
let me just get it out. 

681
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,120
She shifts her eyes a lot away 
from like looking directly at 

682
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:09,320
people. 
So you don't have to have that 

683
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:15,480
to be on the autism spectrum. 
But like it seems it gives more 

684
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,320
of a possibility because she's 
has trouble just like Coolie 

685
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,160
looking into someone's eyes 
while having conversations. 

686
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,800
So I could see that. 
Yep, what do you? 

687
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,120
Also, like things that are kind 
of lost or maybe harder to pick 

688
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,600
up in the store in the series is
that she's a very much a 

689
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:38,160
creature of habit and like is 
like very routine. 

690
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,360
And like that's why law does 
this big deal cuz she comes in 

691
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,520
and throw there's a bomb that 
blows up her routine and she's 

692
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,400
very much like obsessed with 
following rules and like things 

693
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,040
like that. 
So I think there's definitely an

694
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,840
argument to be made that like 
Nam is like on the autism 

695
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,120
spectrum and you can definitely 
make the argument for that. 

696
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,120
I'm not saying we're not 
psychology, We're not saying she

697
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,640
is, but like you can make the 
argument. 

698
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:00,720
I think there's evidence. 
Yeah. 

699
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,600
And like the business is her 
hyper fixation that she's. 

700
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,680
Hyper fixating. 
Yeah, she has a lot of signs, 

701
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,040
this is what I'm saying. 
So I'm just. 

702
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,040
Curious if you. 
Maybe could like saw that too, 

703
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,080
that like there's a possibility 
for that. 

704
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,680
Oh yeah, definitely. 
And if someone is a psychologist

705
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,480
watching this, feel free to do 
some diagnosis in the comments. 

706
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640
It we're not saying it's real. 
These are characters. 

707
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,760
They're characters. 
Yeah, exactly so. 

708
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,880
It's all theory. 
Right, they didn't explicitly 

709
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,200
say it, but they didn't 
explicitly not say it either, so

710
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,440
therefore it's fair game for 
analysis. 

711
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,480
But that, yeah, that is very 
interesting to think about, 

712
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,080
yeah. 
That was really, really 

713
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,600
interesting. 
Something that I thought was 

714
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,560
entertaining in the series was 
that Oppo did a lot more 

715
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,680
cosplaying in the series than 
she did in the novel. 

716
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,640
So she cosplays as a SWAT team 
member, which that was crazy. 

717
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,160
And then the flower shop lady 
was probably the weirdest one. 

718
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:06,040
Or she's cosplaying a flower 
shop owner. 

719
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,480
Yeah. 
The fucking hotel era to get 

720
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,000
Lada to stop on the side of the 
road that was. 

721
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,040
Crazy like what? 
A gamble that she was gonna stop

722
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,000
on the side is like, what a what
if she was? 

723
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,360
Just in her head, just driving 
along and just not. 

724
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,880
Looking not show up there. 
Yeah, that was weird, but like 

725
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,960
it was cute to see Oppo have to 
cosplay stuff. 

726
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,120
That's the part I like though. 
The scenarios were weird, 

727
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,240
personally, having read the 
novel, but I think it was cute 

728
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:36,440
to see her like trying cosplay 
shit because it's it's Oppo. 

729
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,120
All people like the people who's
like the person who's like very 

730
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,240
much like I stay in my lane. 
Like you ever had to be a spot 

731
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,240
team member and then also a 
flower shop owner. 

732
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,680
So I thought it was cute to see 
Oppo the character in those 

733
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,840
scenarios, especially the flower
shop owner. 

734
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,640
She was adore like so you just 
want to hug her in that. 

735
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,960
Scene she's, yeah, she has to 
put her, she has to put herself 

736
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,000
out there, right? 
I. 

737
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,960
Want to be able to do that. 
And that's hard and like you see

738
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,880
it like that nervous little 
smile when she turns around and 

739
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,800
like you realize it's her. 
It's. 

740
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,200
Adorable. 
That was cute. 

741
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,680
Like she's really cute as the 
flower. 

742
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,480
Shop owner. 
Oh that Yeah. 

743
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,400
It was really cute at the SWAT 
scene though. 

744
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,240
Mom, How does mom still have a 
job? 

745
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:22,200
Because. 
That's my question. 

746
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,520
Breaks a lot of rules this that.
Whole thing was the 

747
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,720
screenwriters really went off 
the rails. 

748
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:30,560
That's where a rail start and 
started for me. 

749
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:31,840
I was like, what are you guys 
doing? 

750
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,760
Yeah, Like, how is that legal? 
Because, like, The thing is, mom

751
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,960
didn't just set that up with the
cousins. 

752
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,560
Like there were other police 
officers involved in that. 

753
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,400
Because the way she did it, 
yeah, she's like, we have this 

754
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:46,960
bag. 
So somebody had to plant the 

755
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,080
bag, illegal evidence in the in 
the building, and then she had 

756
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,200
to send actual police officers 
to investigate the bag while the

757
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,000
cousins go do their secret 
mission off. 

758
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,080
Like how? 
Yeah. 

759
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,200
How does mom have a job? 
Like that was crazy because 

760
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,840
like, I don't know why they 
wrote that. 

761
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,600
Because mom is set up as like 
she's really effective and 

762
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,240
really good police officer who 
knows the rules, knows the law 

763
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:11,160
and all that. 
And then you have mom doing 

764
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,760
this. 
I'm like, that's crazy. 

765
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,840
Unless you're setting up 
something in the air that I 

766
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,480
don't know about where she 
breaks the law to save her 

767
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,440
woman, maybe. 
I don't know. 

768
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,200
Don't deny or confirm that in 
the comments. 

769
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:24,000
I'm just speculating because why
would you write that? 

770
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:31,160
That was so weird. 
But I have no answers but it 

771
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,760
was. 
Entertaining squat uniform. 

772
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,000
I will take that. 
I will take Oscar Toole showing 

773
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,400
up for a minute. 
Yeah. 

774
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,240
And I love how they they all 
were together be like, we're 

775
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:44,720
going to. 
They're basically trying to 

776
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:49,600
kidnap Lotta. 
Yes, they were, but then she 

777
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:54,000
escapes already. 
And so it was all for nothing. 

778
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,720
I think that's the funniest 
part. 

779
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,280
Is that they set this. 
Whole thing up and she wasn't 

780
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,640
even there. 
Because Lada is smart and 

781
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,920
everyone fucking forgot that 
that bitch is fucking strategic 

782
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,320
and smart and there's no way she
was going to put herself in a 

783
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,360
dangerous position willingly 
because she's fucking smart. 

784
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,360
That's why she oppose equal in 
both an intelligent like that. 

785
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,760
Also I feel like was lost in the
series that like they are 

786
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,520
intellectual equals. 
That's the point. 

787
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:28,560
And you see them especially like
by the end when Lada's running 

788
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,840
the hotel, it was like she's 
working just as hard as Nam was.

789
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,080
And you see the trace like the 
workaholic traits, like they are

790
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,640
so similar. 
And then, like, in the 

791
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:46,600
beginning, you see Lada be, 
like, more playful, more, not 

792
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,680
really bratty, but just, like, 
has less responsibility. 

793
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,920
Yeah. 
And experience because like, she

794
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,880
was never given any 
responsibility. 

795
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,520
She just graduated in college is
the thing like she doesn't have 

796
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,400
experience professionally 
because like time wise in her 

797
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,600
career? 
And but like, as the series goes

798
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,040
along and she like, realizes 
that she can do this when she's 

799
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,760
been told her whole life that 
she can't. 

800
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:20,960
Like she works hard and she 
proves to oppo that like she can

801
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,240
do this without making mistakes.
And like that's I think that's 

802
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:29,960
what solidified to Nam that like
this girl is definitely worth it

803
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,760
because she cares about things 
and when she cares about 

804
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,000
something, she puts her whole 
heart into it. 

805
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:43,000
And I just, I'm very proud of 
her for the way that she went 

806
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,040
about this because like, I 
respect a lot of her, what she 

807
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:53,920
was doing in the beginning 
because like not about her 

808
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,080
trying to deceive oppo, but like
she was just trying to find a 

809
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,240
place in her family because her 
family sucks. 

810
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,400
Yes, that cannot be emphasized 
enough how much her family 

811
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,120
fucking sucks. 
Yes, it really cannot. 

812
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,920
It really cannot be. 
And I just really respect a lot 

813
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:16,520
of for putting in this work. 
And it shows how determined she 

814
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,520
is. 
And like, that determination is 

815
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:24,720
what drew her, drew Nam to her 
because that's a trait that she 

816
00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:32,560
admires. 
And like, I don't know what the 

817
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,720
word is, but like, she's also 
determined herself. 

818
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:40,240
So like, yeah, they're just very
similar in these aspects. 

819
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:44,320
And I think Nam could see 
herself in her as well. 

820
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:52,800
And sometimes similarities 
attract to each other. 

821
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,880
Yeah, it just, it just goes to 
show you like to your point, 

822
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,600
they're equals. 
Like they're equals. 

823
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:01,840
Yeah. 
And like Roses and Din's 

824
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,080
relationship, it's not they're 
not equals. 

825
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,480
It's more so like I'm the older 
one. 

826
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,480
I'm going to take care of the 
younger one kind of thing and 

827
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,600
then like the younger ones, 
like, well, as your wife, I will

828
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,320
take care of you kind of thing. 
And like, that's their 

829
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,760
situation. 
It's not like they they are like

830
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,400
they see each other as equals, 
but there's more of a power 

831
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,640
imbalance in their relationship 
because it's like the classic 

832
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,640
romantic trope of like the 
Prince and the Princess. 

833
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,760
That's, you know, they were 
literal Prince and Princess like

834
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,600
cosplaying as kids. 
Like that's the dynamic. 

835
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,640
It's very different. 
These two are more modern 

836
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,360
equals, I guess. 
So that's, I mean they're 

837
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,360
intellects like they're 
intellectually equal. 

838
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:43,800
And so it's a little bit 
different. 

839
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,920
And even though there is an age 
gap, there's an age gap, there's

840
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,120
an experience gap, there's all 
these like differences, like 

841
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,400
they are so similar that it 
doesn't matter really so. 

842
00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:03,840
Yeah, something totally, just 
not along these lines. 

843
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,520
Is that something we see in the 
first episode is that Abo kept 

844
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,320
the Rose from den and Rose's 
wedding dried in a book. 

845
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,640
And I that just means like she 
was holding on to the idea of 

846
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,920
possibly falling in love. 
So she is, she is a romantic. 

847
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:26,040
Like she does want that because 
she kept that and that and I 

848
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,320
just love that part. 
She kept it because Rose told 

849
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:34,120
her to. 
No. 

850
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,040
But it is, it is true. 
That is true. 

851
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,800
It's showing you she's not not 
open to the idea. 

852
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,720
She just thought it was very 
unlikely because look at her 

853
00:47:45,720 --> 00:47:50,600
life. 
Well, yeah, I mean her. 

854
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:56,680
Life is work and like Aqua was 
fine with. 

855
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,280
That she was very Yeah, she was.
She was like, but then it's like

856
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:06,080
as soon as she met Lada she did 
stop caring about work as much. 

857
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,400
Yeah, because Lada's the chaos 
demon that comes in and blows up

858
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,960
her life, and then life is not 
the same because she can't see 

859
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,360
life the same way when Lada 
shows up. 

860
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,960
So it just shows you the effect 
that Lada has on her. 

861
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:26,040
And I think it becomes really 
apparent when we get so 

862
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,120
something that they did do in 
the series that I wasn't 

863
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,960
expecting them to do was they 
went into the special chapters 

864
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,880
in the novel, which the earth 
did not. 

865
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,400
The earth just kind of ended 
where the book ended and did not

866
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,280
go into any special chapters. 
The water did. 

867
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,120
It went into so like the novel 
in the in the water, just mini 

868
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,320
spoiler, it ends like after they
get married, it just ends and 

869
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,320
then it goes into anything. 
After them getting married was 

870
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,480
all the special chapter stuff 
they went into all of them, 

871
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,120
which is really interesting. 
My favorite, my favorite one 

872
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:59,080
that they did show was Oppo 
getting jealous. 

873
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,240
And the reason I like that I 
liked again, this came. 

874
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,360
This was actually pretty 
canonical the way this went 

875
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:05,800
down. 
And that's the reason I like it 

876
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,160
because I like the way Salmon, 
the author really goes into her 

877
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,520
characters. 
So and this is I think the most 

878
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,960
like because it's very revealing
of who this is the most oppo 

879
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,240
from the novel is this scene. 
And as I love oppo from the 

880
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:22,960
novel. 
So in the scene, basically that 

881
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,080
guy comes in the art dude, he 
gets thought alone, they talk 

882
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,800
and then oppo gets jealous, 
right? 

883
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,960
And then lotta later calls her 
out on it and is like you're 

884
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,160
acting jealous and notice the 
way this scene goes down. 

885
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,080
It's not a oh, that was cute 
haha. 

886
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,680
And they move on. 
Oppo is like upset about it. 

887
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,840
And then she tells Lotta why 
she's upset. 

888
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,440
She's I'm upset because I can't 
control this emotion I'm having 

889
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,000
and I can't keep myself 
collected and put together like 

890
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,520
I normally have. 
And I don't want you to think 

891
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,960
I'm being like childish and 
stuff because I'm having this 

892
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,000
emotion. 
Like the conflict was Oppo has a

893
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,880
new emotion and she doesn't. 
That puts her off balance. 

894
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,840
Oppo the most put together like 
that's who Lotta is. 

895
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,760
She throws her off balance. 
And she's one of those people 

896
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,000
who's like super controlled, 
super serious, and then Lada 

897
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,840
comes in and throws that off and
she can never get back to 

898
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,800
center. 
And like, that's their dynamic 

899
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,200
actually. 
And like it goes to show you 

900
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,640
that that still happens in their
relationship even after they've 

901
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,480
been married for a while. 
And oppo's like, I've never felt

902
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:27,320
is this like she's like, is this
jealousy? 

903
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,160
I've never felt it before. 
And like, I can't control it. 

904
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,000
And I don't like that I can't 
control this emotion and like 

905
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,240
remain rational because like 
it's making me irrational and I 

906
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:39,360
don't want to like do rational 
things around you, you. 

907
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,880
And so she, that's why she's 
avoiding her. 

908
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:45,000
So I love that it's a very oppo 
reaction to that. 

909
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,160
And the way Lada is like super 
understanding of where noms 

910
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,960
coming from because they know 
each other so fucking well and 

911
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,400
they see eye to eye on a lot of 
things. 

912
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,560
So the way Lada could talk her 
through that, I love that 

913
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,320
special chapter so much. 
And I'm really glad they put 

914
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,600
that in there because that is 
what that is the hallmark of 

915
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,160
their relationship. 
And that is why I love their 

916
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,400
relationship so much, because 
they understand each other like 

917
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,080
so well. 
Like so, so, so well. 

918
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:16,280
It's not just like you're cute, 
kind of, it's like they are on 

919
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,240
the same page, like even that. 
And I love that she talks. 

920
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:21,960
No, I'm through that. 
That's one of my favorite 

921
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,680
moments between them and I'm so 
happy they put that in there 

922
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,280
'cause like that was such a, 
that was, that's the oppo. 

923
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,520
I love the awkward one who 
doesn't know and but I love that

924
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,560
she's at the point where she can
like communicate that to Lada 

925
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,160
because if that happened at the 
beginning, Nam would never be 

926
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,400
able to communicate that, you 
know what I mean? 

927
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:44,160
So it showed like her growth and
the trust that they have and 

928
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,240
like, Oh my God, I, I love that 
scene. 

929
00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:48,760
That was one of my favorite oppo
moments. 

930
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,240
The way she like is like, it's 
not that I, I just like, I don't

931
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:54,600
want to be irrational. 
It's making me feel irrational. 

932
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,800
I'm like, I don't like feeling 
like this. 

933
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,000
Yeah. 
And like. 

934
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,840
When she was first trying to 
like be like, is this jealousy 

935
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,800
like she did not know what? 
She didn't know. 

936
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,240
She's like, was that what this 
is like? 

937
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:09,640
I've never felt it before. 
And yeah. 

938
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,640
So again, that and that goes to 
show you that because again, I 

939
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,840
feel like this gets lost in the 
series when Lam comes over and 

940
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,680
is flirting with Lada, Nam 
doesn't hide her because she's 

941
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,400
jealous. 
That's actually not why Nam is 

942
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,640
doing it. 
Nam is doing it because she 

943
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,800
thinks Lada is a huge 
troublemaker and she's like, I 

944
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,320
don't want you getting involved 
with my cousin. 

945
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,040
That's actually why she does it.
And but like, there's an 

946
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,480
undercurrent of she's starting 
to feel things for her. 

947
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,400
But like, the show framed it as 
jealousy, but it's not Because 

948
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,560
that proves it was not jealousy,
because that's not what Nam was 

949
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,360
feeling. 
That makes sense. 

950
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,920
Yes, I know that's why, like 
having their inner monologues is

951
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,160
so important in this in this 
story, because things and like 

952
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,640
North Star, like they they made 
changes because they had to, but

953
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,960
the characterization of the 
characters got very jumbled when

954
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,080
they started doing stuff. 
And I was like, this is not the 

955
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,160
oppo I love and like the 
introvert that I love and like 

956
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,520
the very serious rational 
person, because like you just 

957
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,000
you lose her inner monologue 
where she's explaining that 

958
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,720
she's like, no, I I have to keep
I love my cousin and this 

959
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,720
troublemaker. 
It should be nowhere near my 

960
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:14,240
cousin. 
That's why she did it. 

961
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,280
But that can, really. 
And the reality is that Alam is 

962
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:23,000
also a huge troublemaker and so 
together seriously just caused 

963
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,480
so much trouble. 
The thing about the four 

964
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:30,000
elements is like everybody has 
Lam on speed dial to be like, 

965
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,360
hey, help me with this illegal 
shit I found and she drops 

966
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:34,800
everything to come help 
everybody. 

967
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,160
Like the way she's like, hey, 
Lada's mom and the knife and 

968
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,520
Lam's like, I got it. 
I'll start an investigation 

969
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,320
right now. 
Like is is she? 

970
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,240
How much time does she have in 
her job to be like she? 

971
00:53:45,240 --> 00:53:48,480
Doesn't do her job. 
She does whatever her cousins 

972
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,520
need. 
She's just using her power. 

973
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,720
She's always taking freelance 
jobs from family members. 

974
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,480
I'm like on the taxpayer dime. 
No one's paying her to do this, 

975
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,440
you know what I mean? 
She's a civil servant and 

976
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,160
they're just like, can you help 
investigate this thing for your 

977
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,280
family? 
I'm just, I'm so curious to see 

978
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,320
the air because I'm like, what 
is she doing day-to-day, 

979
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,840
honestly? 
She's always well, I mean like I

980
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,720
know this isn't about the air, 
but like in the trailer we get 

981
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,200
that they her work doesn't even 
know where she is. 

982
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,640
She just literally. 
I love her, I love what she's 

983
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,600
doing, but I you know, I guess 
that's the elemental nature of 

984
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,440
the air. 
It's anyway, the wind blows like

985
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,800
she's just going anyway. 
True, but I just I just in the 

986
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,040
in the water, just like here's 
more family members being like 

987
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,560
mom, can you investigate 
something for me and drop 

988
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,200
whatever you're actually doing 
the taxpayers are paying you to 

989
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,120
do and just do this. 
It's just like it makes me laugh

990
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,320
just as a scenario. 
It's a good thing that we have a

991
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,640
family member in that position 
because like, there's a lot of 

992
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:56,080
illegal activity, criminals. 
In these stories. 

993
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,480
Like that's just normalized now 
because like, do they ever 

994
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:05,280
wonder, like, why do we have so 
much issues like this going on? 

995
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,800
Involved with our family? 
Yeah. 

996
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:07,640
What's going on? 
Yes. 

997
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,720
Maybe you should go to therapy 
and unpack that. 

998
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:13,080
What do you mean like not and no
this is normal, everyone has 

999
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:18,880
police invasions. 
Not invasions, but like human 

1000
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,840
has to be involved with the 
police at some point in their 

1001
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,800
lives right? 
Apparently in her family they do

1002
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:29,720
the the weapon family. 
Apparently they'd be doing those

1003
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,280
all right. 
Other thing that I thought was 

1004
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,800
weird in the novel, in the in 
the series, is that all of 

1005
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,280
Lotta's family stuff was so 
nefarious. 

1006
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:48,160
Like so nefarious. 
Like Pat was a. 

1007
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,720
Monster Pat was like the 
ultimate monster and the 

1008
00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:53,840
ultimate disappointment in that 
family. 

1009
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:59,080
Like he screwed them all over. 
Yeah, that was the 

1010
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:00,960
screenwriters. 
I don't know why we had to do 

1011
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,360
that, but yeah, no, they they 
literally made him a monster as 

1012
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:09,320
a human being in the story. 
I'm like, I don't unders I don't

1013
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,880
understand why we had to go 
there like that was there was no

1014
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,880
resolution to that. 
That was kind of weird that just

1015
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,920
like there's like he is a they. 
Could they could have given him 

1016
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,920
the redemption art being like, 
hey, I'm and like had him 

1017
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,840
apologize, be like I was trying 
to get her father's approval 

1018
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:30,200
just as much as you were, but I 
see the error of my way. 

1019
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,240
Something like that. 
But no, they went all in on 

1020
00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:34,280
like, no, he's the monster. 
He is. 

1021
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,640
He for some reason is 
irredeemable, but the dad is 

1022
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,880
redeemable. 
The dad sucks. 

1023
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,680
Man, the dad was awful. 
Dad. 

1024
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:43,840
Sucks. 
And I'm like that. 

1025
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:48,400
I'm so proud of Lada in that 
scene when she just stands up. 

1026
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,760
Well, Lada and her mom, because 
her mom's like, is it because 

1027
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,280
you have to take care of her? 
I will take care of her. 

1028
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,400
Let me handle her. 
You won't have to worry about us

1029
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:02,800
anymore. 
And then Lada also like holding 

1030
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,680
his hand from hitting her 
mother. 

1031
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,800
Yes. 
Like I was so proud of her for 

1032
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:14,120
stepping up for both of them. 
And then we get the knife thing 

1033
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,320
and like that. 
And then it gets really fucking 

1034
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:17,840
weird. 
But yeah, no. 

1035
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,360
Lotta's relationship with her 
mother is really sweet, and you 

1036
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,560
just see how, like, the odds are
stacked against them in this 

1037
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,040
family. 
But they ultimately do their 

1038
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:29,040
best to stick together and like,
look out for each other in their

1039
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,960
own ways given their 
circumstances. 

1040
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:36,200
It's not perfect because her 
family sucks and so it cannot be

1041
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,840
emphasized enough how much her 
family sucks. 

1042
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:43,040
And I say that because then when
Lada gets brought into Nam's 

1043
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,960
family, it's like a fucking 
breath of fresh air. 

1044
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,760
You know? 
Also something. 

1045
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:51,800
OK, sorry. 
Go ahead. 

1046
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:58,000
I'm just going to say when Lada 
and her mom go off the grid. 

1047
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,800
Oh my God, run. 
Away from him screenwriter and 

1048
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,640
then try to open like what AB 
and B? 

1049
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:10,160
Yeah, so invite people to our 
secret location you're trying to

1050
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,960
not be found and yet. 
You make a social media. 

1051
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,400
Accounts for your where you 
live, you live there. 

1052
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,760
Again, I don't know why they had
to change this either. 

1053
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,440
Because this, it made it. 
It made it seem like Lada's dumb

1054
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,400
and Lada is not dumb. 
Lada would never be like, let's 

1055
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,200
set up a business where we're 
inviting strangers near us when 

1056
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,640
we're on the run. 
Lada, the strategist and Nam's 

1057
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,760
intellectual equal would never 
do that. 

1058
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,720
I don't understand why we, 
because I guess they had to be 

1059
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,200
like, we have to find a way to 
get like Nam to find her. 

1060
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,600
But it's like Mom exists. 
You don't need to start an 

1061
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,800
Airbnb company for Mom to like, 
fine her. 

1062
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,200
She's proven she's a supreme 
police officer, detective. 

1063
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,160
She's gonna find her. 
That was dumb. 

1064
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,240
I don't get that decision, but 
whatever. 

1065
00:58:58,680 --> 00:58:59,960
I don't know. 
That was weird. 

1066
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,600
Something I like that they did 
keep they OK. 

1067
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,040
One thing I like and Crimson 
studios, if you're listening, 

1068
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,120
you're I hope you're with me on 
this. 

1069
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,880
My absolute favorite scene and 
the whole fucking the story, 

1070
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:17,720
like the Mara hole also is the 
Rose and lava scene at the 

1071
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,840
wedding and they kept it and I 
was like they got but the tone 

1072
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,600
was red different to me. 
It wasn't as funny, but they 

1073
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,600
kept this scene. 
And I love this scene because it

1074
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,920
just, again, it goes to show you
that nobody understands Nam 

1075
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,400
except Lotta, including her 
family members. 

1076
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,280
Because Rose comes in and she's 
like, girl, you're going to have

1077
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,680
to have the bridal ceremony, 
meaning the sex is going to 

1078
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,760
happen. 
And I was like, yeah, why are 

1079
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:45,280
you here, Rose? 
And Rose is like, listen, I've 

1080
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:51,880
met your wife and Din and I, Din
and I are concerned that Nam 

1081
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,880
doesn't know what sex is because
she's such a workaholic. 

1082
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,120
So I'm like I sent Din. 
Yeah, though they sent to Dan to

1083
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,600
go. 
Talk to Nam and then OK. 

1084
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,680
But like we never get the scene.
I'm so. 

1085
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,800
Sad is talking to Nam and I 
wanted the show to do that 

1086
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,400
because of the book does it. 
And I was like what the fuck was

1087
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,440
Din? 
Din, You said Din. 

1088
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:13,560
Why? 
Did she say no? 

1089
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,680
Yes, say. 
Loudon, don't say din, don't say

1090
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,560
din. 
Like, yeah, I get you. 

1091
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,600
Din's the one that's married 
right now. 

1092
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,760
But like Din. 
Din you said. 

1093
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,680
Din I That's why I said. 
I was like. 

1094
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:32,280
Please, please, please give us 
the reverse of this where Din is

1095
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,720
talking to Nam because that had 
to have been a disaster it. 

1096
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,360
Had to have been a disaster so. 
Bad. 

1097
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:42,120
I want that scene so badly. 
I'm really upset. 

1098
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,000
Write it and then send it to us 
and you. 

1099
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,320
Fan fiction of that, because I 
was like, come on, series, 

1100
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,040
you've been doing all kinds of 
weird stuff. 

1101
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,520
Please give us that. 
They did not. 

1102
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:54,160
But just like, Can you imagine 
that fucking conversation with 

1103
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,600
Din? 
Din tried to start that. 

1104
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:01,720
Conversation, first of all. 
With Din and Nam's like we've 

1105
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,880
already had sex. 
What are you doing then? 

1106
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,080
So no, but like Nam. 
Lets her like get it all out and

1107
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,840
like, try to explain things to 
her and be like and then at the 

1108
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,040
very end be like, yeah, girl, we
already done. 

1109
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:13,600
It Oh, we're good. 
We're we're they're good. 

1110
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:18,040
What the hell are you doing? 
But seriously, send mom. 

1111
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,560
Why would you send like the 
confidence that Rose has in her 

1112
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,360
wife to be like Din's like Din's
got this. 

1113
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:30,640
No, she doesn't send Rose Eddie 
Wimbledon. 

1114
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,120
No, why would you send Din? 
But so sad we didn't get the 

1115
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,040
reverse of that, which is Din 
trying to have this conversation

1116
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,360
with Nam and Nam being like 
first of all, why are you here? 

1117
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,600
Also Google exists. 
I don't need you, Din. 

1118
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:50,600
But that was no Din would shut 
up and be like so Rose told me 

1119
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,440
to come talk to you, but I'm not
going to talk to you. 

1120
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,040
So if she. 
Asks I talk to you. 

1121
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,000
I was like, OK, yeah, I know. 
Serious fucking Din. 

1122
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,280
I just would love to see that go
down because that had to have 

1123
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,120
been a disaster to have Din 
trying and to your point, 

1124
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,680
initiate the conversation. 
And I was like, what the hell 

1125
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:13,400
are you doing? 
Oh my gosh, the possibilities 

1126
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,040
are endless. 
They're endless and they're all 

1127
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,400
really fucking funny and I so 
wish we had that scene. 

1128
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:20,960
Oh my God. 
But I'm glad they gave us at 

1129
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,000
least the the Rose and loudest 
part because that was one of my 

1130
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,600
favorite moments. 
It reads different, but I'm glad

1131
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,680
it exists. 
And just what the hell was Dan 

1132
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,440
talking about? 
I had to be hilarious. 

1133
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,520
Other thing I like from their 
wedding that they did in the 

1134
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:41,760
series is they did the they have
the photos up when net walks in 

1135
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,080
and you get to see like their 
couple photos. 1 cute thing they

1136
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:50,080
did that I really love is in one
of the photos, it is the 

1137
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:54,560
embodiment of when Nam told Lada
like I know we work together but

1138
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,480
like you're the boss in this 
relationship. 

1139
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,360
So they did this cute thing 
visually where they have one of 

1140
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:04,160
the photos is Lada wearing Nam's
like tan suit, like her work 

1141
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,440
outfit, like she's the boss. 
And then like Nam is in her like

1142
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,040
receptionist outfit and she's 
like got her arm over her. 

1143
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,560
So I think the embodiment of 
like she's the boss in the 

1144
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,920
relationship, which I thought 
was a really cute touch and they

1145
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,880
don't really draw attention to 
it, but I caught it when I was 

1146
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,000
watching. 
I was like, that's really, 

1147
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:23,040
really cute because I love that 
moment between them when Oppa 

1148
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:26,080
was like, listen, I know I 
recognize that there is a power 

1149
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,800
imbalance between us, but I want
you to know in a relationship 

1150
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,360
there isn't. 
In fact, you hold more power 

1151
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,800
over me than I hold over you. 
And I'm just going to be very 

1152
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,600
honest about that. 
So I think it's really cute that

1153
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:36,800
they did that in their photo 
shoots. 

1154
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:37,880
That's. 
Cute. 

1155
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:43,280
Super cute. 
I love that. 

1156
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,760
I really love that. 
I thought that was an adorable 

1157
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,800
thing they did in the series. 
That was really cute. 

1158
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:54,640
Something I thought was cute is 
just how much that Lada liked 

1159
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,360
Chef the chef's food when they 
went into that meeting. 

1160
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,880
And like she had to be kept 
being told not to eat, but I'm 

1161
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,200
like, the chef wants her to eat 
it. 

1162
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,360
Nam, you're supposed to be 
eating it too. 

1163
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:10,080
Well now I'm not professional 
about it. 

1164
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,520
She's like, you're supposed to 
taste it, not consume it. 

1165
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,200
Wow. 
I was like, no, man, free food 

1166
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:20,080
not broke something other than 
noodles. 

1167
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:25,440
Yeah, which this show had an 
amazing opportunity to sell 

1168
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,640
noodles because that was baked 
into the story and they did not 

1169
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:33,320
get a noodle sponsor. 
Yeah, seriously, seriously. 

1170
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,880
This was the show. 
This was the show to sell them 

1171
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,000
noodles. 
Where are you, Mama? 

1172
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:45,000
Where are you, Mama? 
Oh my gosh. 

1173
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,400
All right, you got anything else
about why you love the the 

1174
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,960
water? 
No, just overall it's really 

1175
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,160
cute and very cute. 
Glad to see. 

1176
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,240
No, I'm fine. 
Somebody who's a good match for 

1177
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:01,800
her and well, I was going to say
a lot of get out of her 

1178
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:03,920
ridiculousness. 
That's her family, but she kind 

1179
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,040
of put herself back in there so.
The screenwriters put her back 

1180
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,000
in there and the screenwriters 
put her back in there and I will

1181
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,720
not forgive them for that. 
That was that was a beautiful 

1182
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,640
change that they made in my 
opinion. 

1183
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,920
But, and I'm also glad in this 
story in general, in the water 

1184
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:26,760
you we get to know Oppo better 
because you know the least about

1185
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,720
her because she's the most she 
keeps to herself the most. 

1186
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:33,760
So it was nice getting to know 
her because I really love her. 

1187
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,400
And I was, I was very glad to 
spend a lot of focus on her 

1188
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,320
because introverts deserve love 
too. 

1189
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,800
Extroverts are easier to be 
like, oh, I love mom because 

1190
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,480
she's so like, and boy, it's 
very easy to fall for extroverts

1191
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:46,960
or be attached to them on 
screen. 

1192
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,560
But like, introverts are harder 
to get to know on screen and in 

1193
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,400
life. 
So I'm glad we got to focus on 

1194
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,400
her. 
That's a that's a great point, 

1195
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,160
Nam. 
Deserves it, Nam deserves it. 

1196
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,800
Nam is very sweet and just very 
interesting character. 

1197
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,680
Even if she needs her dad to 
push her into dating that. 

1198
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:09,280
Was hilarious all right what is 
your big gay energy award for 

1199
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:13,960
the water I. 
Didn't I? 

1200
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:15,600
Was having trouble figuring this
one out. 

1201
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,520
And then I think I'm going to go
with just Nam knowing who Lada 

1202
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,320
is and trusting her right away. 
Probably because she's pretty. 

1203
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,760
I'm going to go with my favorite
scene, which is Rose and Lada 

1204
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:33,120
talking about sex and then Lada 
having the ovaries to be like, 

1205
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,920
don't worry, Rose. 
She's not just good at work, if 

1206
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,920
you know what I mean. 
Meaning like, we've already had 

1207
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:40,120
sex. 
I, I, it's very fine. 

1208
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:44,480
Like the fact that she said that
took a lot, took a lot of big 

1209
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,360
energy. 
And also I like you in the 

1210
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,880
series, you get the reaction 
from Rose, who's like happy for 

1211
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:49,920
her because that's why she's 
here. 

1212
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:51,480
She's like, listen, girl, I'm 
worried about you and your 

1213
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:56,480
wedding night. 
You married did Rose anyway, you

1214
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,640
married did you shouldn't have 
been worried about you. 

1215
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:04,440
OK, Taylor Swift songs. 
I have a couple for this. 

1216
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,200
I'm glad you have a couple. 
I don't know why I was 

1217
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:08,840
struggling with Taylor Swift 
songs. 

1218
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:13,440
I I just came up with mean 
because all her family is ever 

1219
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,960
going to be as mean. 
God, yeah, Lada's family. 

1220
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,520
Seriously, I have bad blood 
because it's the enemy is the 

1221
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,840
lovers thing in the beginning 
because like baby, now we got 

1222
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,960
bad blood and I got to fucking 
watch you like a hawk. 

1223
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,680
Like it starts off like that and
then it transitions from me into

1224
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,360
this love and I think it's more 
explicit towards them. 

1225
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:35,120
So you have high Tide came and 
brought you in because Lada's 

1226
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:39,080
name literally means a wave. 
Like she's the crashing wave 

1227
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:42,880
that came into Nam's still like 
Nam's name means water. 

1228
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,200
It's like Stillwater. 
Lada's a wave so chaotic water 

1229
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,320
so like chaos is the high tide 
came and brought you in because 

1230
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,320
she's a wave. 
And then this love is good. 

1231
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,520
This love is bad. 
This love is a life back from 

1232
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,200
the dead, which is like Nam and 
Shadda Lada both taught each 

1233
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:02,040
other how to live, not just 
exist through their love, like 

1234
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,040
and in their good moments, bad 
moments. 

1235
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,480
And it's back from like the dead
with a lot of back from her 

1236
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,440
crappy family. 
And then the monotony of what 

1237
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,960
her life was. 
And she didn't realize it until 

1238
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,000
she had somebody in it that like
shook it up, you know? 

1239
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:21,600
So to me that's that's them. 
That was a great song for them. 

1240
01:08:22,399 --> 01:08:25,880
I agree, but don't worry, we 
have some listener comments that

1241
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,600
add to the Taylor Swift 
commentary. 

1242
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:29,960
Beautiful. 
I love that. 

1243
01:08:30,279 --> 01:08:33,240
But before we get there, let's

interacting recently. 
So thank you. 

1254
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,279
Thank you. 
All right. 

1255
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,319
All right, and with that, let's 
move on to our listener 

1256
01:09:24,319 --> 01:09:26,359
comments. 
So thank you everybody who 

1257
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,439
answered our social media posts 
about why you love the water. 

1258
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,520
If you're listening to this and 
you didn't get to participate, 

1259
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:33,520
leave it in the comments. 
Why do you love the water? 

1260
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,439
Because there are so many 
reasons and we'd love to hear 

1261
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:39,000
from all of you, but we're going
to start with our Patreon. 

1262
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,279
So first we have Zori M who says
even though Petrocore is still 

1263
01:09:42,279 --> 01:09:45,920
my favorite Inglot show, Lada 
and Nam are my favorite Inglot 

1264
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,279
pairing. 
Watching Lada slowly breakdown 

1265
01:09:48,279 --> 01:09:52,240
the barriers that Nam had and 
showing a lot of she's worth 

1266
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,600
more than what her father tells 
her she is, which is very 

1267
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,640
beautiful and really shows the 
growth of both characters. 

1268
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,120
I couldn't have said it better 
myself, sorry. 

1269
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,400
Honestly, you're 100% correct. 
Yes. 

1270
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:09,240
The next is from Mary Elle who 
says the acting was top notch. 

1271
01:10:09,440 --> 01:10:12,760
Petrocor was super dramatic 
which led to bigger display of 

1272
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,560
emotions but the water was all 
in the body language and the 

1273
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,520
micro expressions. 
I think it's really rewatchable 

1274
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,520
because I would like to see if I
can catch Nam knowing more than 

1275
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,120
she let on. 
That's a good point. 

1276
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,000
That's fair, that does make it 
rewatchable and I will add to 

1277
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:28,640
that. 
I did. 

1278
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,840
I thought Charlotte killed it as
Lada. 

1279
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,000
She did. 
She had some of the tougher 

1280
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:39,040
scenes with like the crying and 
Oh my God she did a great job. 

1281
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,960
Her facial expressions were very
on point like she did a great 

1282
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:43,720
job. 
Loved watching her play Lada. 

1283
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,720
Next up we have BGR who writes 
many girl love series are by 

1284
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:52,240
necessity about found family 
because weirdness honestly, but 

1285
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,520
not the water. 
In addition to the obvious 

1286
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,840
cousin connection, Oppo is very 
close to her half sister FA and 

1287
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,480
to her father and FA and the 
father also close enough, though

1288
01:11:01,480 --> 01:11:04,560
they're not quote really family.
I agree because I think it's by 

1289
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,280
marriage. 
Rose also shows up to help but 

1290
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,040
may take more of a direct part 
in the air and fire. 

1291
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,480
There are so many times when 
APO's family provides the 

1292
01:11:13,480 --> 01:11:16,720
support she needs for Lada. 
Her mother is obviously a 

1293
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,120
critical part of her life. 
Only when they can escape 

1294
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,200
together is Lada able to leave. 
Surprisingly, Lada's brother 

1295
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,720
Watt provides important support 
by finding Lada and her mother a

1296
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,680
place to stay that has the 
potential to generate income. 

1297
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,360
A lot of remains in the, quote, 
hotel industry by doing so. 

1298
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,320
Yeah, Yeah, I know. 
I think that's what they were 

1299
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,120
going for. 
I'm with you, BGR, to be like, 

1300
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:41,400
yeah, she knows hotels. 
So like Airbnb, but it doesn't 

1301
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,000
make any sense because they're 
on the run. 

1302
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,560
Yeah. 
But the issue is that they're. 

1303
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,400
Trying to hide. 
Themselves trying to hide, but I

1304
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:52,680
I agreed that I think that is 
what they were trying to do, but

1305
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,600
I don't buy it in their 
situation where they're on the 

1306
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,040
run. 
I think that was a bad idea and 

1307
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:00,080
a lot of wouldn't do that 
personally. 

1308
01:12:02,440 --> 01:12:08,320
Anyway, the next and last 
comment from Patreon is Q432 and

1309
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:13,880
they said again as I said in the
Earth, Sam does a great job in 

1310
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,160
creating characters that are 
soulful and weaving a beautiful 

1311
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,960
story around them. 
Nam and Lada have many 

1312
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:23,360
similarities even though it 
seems initially as introvert 

1313
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,320
meets extroverted person. 
The difference lies in the 

1314
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:32,080
upbringing of both characters. 
Where one is encouraged and 

1315
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,960
given all the opportunities and 
the other was merely tolerated 

1316
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,680
for her existence and all the 
drama stems from their 

1317
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,600
upbringing. 
Especially for Lotta where she 

1318
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:43,200
doesn't feel she is worthy of 
receiving unconditional love. 

1319
01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:47,400
I love how the earth showed 
little cues of how Naam is 

1320
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,440
intelligent, introverted and 
reluctant of physical contact. 

1321
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,720
Which kind of gives us clue that
Naam might be knowing everything

1322
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,720
from the beginning. 
I love the character growth that

1323
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:00,720
happens when Nam learns to 
express herself clearly and Lada

1324
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:04,280
learns to bet on herself and 
allow herself to be happy. 

1325
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,760
Ingfa and Charlotte did 
extremely well in portraying 

1326
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:10,200
their characters. 
Episodes 6 and 7 broke me. 

1327
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:14,200
Cinematography was beautiful. 
Addition of FA and Nam's dad 

1328
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,720
being green flag were different 
from novel but made sense in the

1329
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,320
show. 
I hated Hang's character and 

1330
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:24,360
Lada's father is 1 amongst the 
worst fathers in Thai Girl of 

1331
01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:28,640
Also Nam is great for trying 
again and again after rejections

1332
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:32,000
girl I would have given up. 
That's honestly that's true. 

1333
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,360
I got to give up a love for 
that. 

1334
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:37,520
She does not give up. 
Cousins were chaos as usual. 

1335
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:41,280
Lam's flirting with Lada and Nam
were literally gatekeeping. 

1336
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,840
Lada from Nam was hilarious. 
Overall great show with great 

1337
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:47,800
chemistry and can't wait for the
air where we will see the master

1338
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:49,800
flirt. 
Lam will become a loser. 

1339
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,080
Yes. 
Big Gate Energy goes to Nam for 

1340
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,840
being very straightforward and 
telling Lada how she feels. 

1341
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,000
All right, and. 
Yeah. 

1342
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,320
Oh, that's a good 10. 
That's a good one. 

1343
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:03,920
Thank you. 
That's a good big energy award. 

1344
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,360
Taylor Swift songs for Nam and 
Lada are king of my heart. 

1345
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,240
Dancing with our hands side and 
we were in love. 

1346
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,360
Those are all really good 
choices. 

1347
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:19,400
Totally agree with you. 
OK, this one's probably one of 

1348
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:20,680
my favorites. 
It's short, sweet and to the 

1349
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:22,600
point. 
So over on Instagram we have 

1350
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,920
Costa under score Visa, who says
they love the water because the 

1351
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:31,000
story the way Appa loves Lotta 
and ingfa in suits. 

1352
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:34,840
Yes, hydrate for Ingfa in suits 
because that was probably the 

1353
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:39,360
best part of the water. 
Yeah, definitely Ingfa. 

1354
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:43,640
In suits, yes, you cannot get 
enough of that. 

1355
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:47,160
All right, heading over to 
YouTube. 

1356
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:53,720
Our first comment is from OK Not
Fine and they said it's been a 

1357
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,000
long time since I've cared as 
much about characters 

1358
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,760
individually. 
Not to mention in Girl of Water 

1359
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,920
made me cry and be emotional. 
It was a true roller coaster. 

1360
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:09,120
I really admire Love design as 
top girl of and ran or run in 

1361
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:14,200
Petra Kora surprised me but this
series still hit different oppo 

1362
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:17,360
and lot of feel like real 
people, especially lot of love 

1363
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,120
between them just makes perfect 
sense. 

1364
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,880
There's connection on emotional 
level, not just physical 

1365
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:23,800
tension. 
As usual, it was better 

1366
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,680
supported by writing in a book. 
On screen it was carried mostly 

1367
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:31,360
by nuance, directing, little 
moments and excellent acting of 

1368
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:35,040
Inglot and subtle not force but 
very obvious chemistry, just the

1369
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,440
way they look and react to each 
other in a scene. 

1370
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:40,280
I didn't feel this way about 
their other series nor other 

1371
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,840
girl love series. 
Acting in the water is on a 

1372
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,440
whole other level and overall 
story writing mostly taken from 

1373
01:15:46,440 --> 01:15:50,320
book with its flaws in romantic 
sense still wins me over. 

1374
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,160
I'd also mention I really 
enjoyed music. 

1375
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,440
I didn't hear any of these songs
and melodies before. 

1376
01:15:55,440 --> 01:15:58,640
Very beautiful pics for dramatic
and intense moments. 

1377
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:00,120
That's true. 
Yeah. 

1378
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:07,960
I love how they made me who who 
read a book still question if 

1379
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:12,160
lot of poison food. 
Gave Pat numbers with script, 

1380
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:17,320
Mr. X and SUS acting reveals. 
Both times were very emotional 

1381
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,160
and well done. 
Reveal of Oppo knowing 

1382
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,480
everything is probably my 
favorite scene because of 

1383
01:16:22,480 --> 01:16:25,720
callbacks drama and Charlotte's 
superb acting of lot of being 

1384
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:30,600
crushed and thaws. 
Acting of Oppo going from smug 

1385
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,480
with Pat to desperate. 
I made the worst mistake of my 

1386
01:16:33,480 --> 01:16:36,720
life in two seconds. 
It was very well directed to the

1387
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,880
way Oppo was running after lot 
of moments with cars bade my 

1388
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:45,160
heart skip a beat. 
Never trust a car. 

1389
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:50,120
I never trust a car on screen. 
Not ever. 

1390
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:56,000
I never trust a car anyway. 
OK, another moment I love was a 

1391
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,320
lot of denying having dinner 
with Oppo when they were in her 

1392
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,160
office. 
Tension there and suffering in 

1393
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,240
their eyes is top angst. 
Yes. 

1394
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,040
Yeah, I loved initial comedic 
moments. 

1395
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,400
I think Charlotte is born for 
this and crying. 

1396
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,760
She is funny. 
She really is funny. 

1397
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,960
I'm glad they let her. 
She got to be a character that 

1398
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:15,680
was funny because she is fucking
funny. 

1399
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:20,480
Yeah, she made every scene 
different, funny and every drama

1400
01:17:20,480 --> 01:17:22,720
scene she cried and expressed 
emotion differently. 

1401
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,080
It really showed her range. 
I have a lot of moments because 

1402
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,480
actors made them all count. 
But last I will name 1 The hug 

1403
01:17:29,480 --> 01:17:32,640
during the rain. 
I think acting The acting was 

1404
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,560
amazing and so real in this. 
It was very touching because of 

1405
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,200
it. 
But at the same time I heavily 

1406
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:40,400
dislike how the team ruined the 
first kiss moment and it was 

1407
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:43,320
underwhelming and forgettable as
I said. 

1408
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:48,920
I got to cut in real quick. 
So OK, this this comment is 

1409
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,400
really great and there's a lot 
of comments from YouTube that 

1410
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,800
get into specifics about the 
novel. 

1411
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,880
And I did censor your comments a
little bit to remove spoilers 

1412
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,080
from the novels. 
I'm just letting everybody know 

1413
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:03,640
that not because your critiques 
are not valid, but because we 

1414
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:05,680
will discuss that in the book 
club. 

1415
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,400
And I will bring up your 
comments in the book club so 

1416
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,280
that people watching this don't 
get spoiled about the novel if 

1417
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,320
they're planning on reading it, 
because everybody should read 

1418
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,360
the novel because like this 
commenter is saying, they are 

1419
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,480
different enough that they're 
different stories and things 

1420
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:23,440
read very differently. 
And I agree with this about the 

1421
01:18:23,440 --> 01:18:26,720
first kiss was very different 
and reads differently. 

1422
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,400
And the significance is very 
different between the two 

1423
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:33,320
scenes. 
So just letting everybody know 

1424
01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:35,720
the novel stuff has been 
censored out of your comments. 

1425
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,000
Not because I don't love you, 
it's because this is about the 

1426
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:39,880
series and I do want to spoil 
people. 

1427
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,440
So come to book club to get the 
novel stuff because there's so 

1428
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:46,160
many different things. 
Like their kisses are different.

1429
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:47,840
Like there's a lot of stuff 
that's very different. 

1430
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:51,080
And I agree, the context is then
changes and the story changes. 

1431
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,040
So just had to throw that out 
that Caitlin hasn't read the 

1432
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:55,600
books. 
I need to throw that out there. 

1433
01:18:55,960 --> 01:19:00,560
Yeah, all right. 
They we finished up with Lada 

1434
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,040
and Oppo falling and ending up 
sleeping on the floor. 

1435
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,440
I feel like this was the most 
beautiful, real moment in Girl 

1436
01:19:05,440 --> 01:19:08,360
I've I've seen because of its 
simplicity and authenticity. 

1437
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,440
It felt like real intimacy. 
OK. 

1438
01:19:11,440 --> 01:19:14,560
And then things I didn't like 
for this commenter or I'm going 

1439
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,200
to summarize. 
It's just changes from the novel

1440
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:21,520
that do not translate well from 
the series and I'm 100% on board

1441
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,200
with you. 
That is what I didn't like about

1442
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:27,240
the series because I read the 
novel and to me, I like the 

1443
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,680
novel better overall. 
But series is so good. 

1444
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,520
And so we're going to focus on 
the series. 

1445
01:19:34,440 --> 01:19:38,280
All right, next we have from 
YouTube Duplo Tracy, who writes 

1446
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,280
love the way the characters grow
as individuals and in their love

1447
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,720
for each other. 
It's very layered and sweet. 

1448
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:48,040
I would I think that's on brand 
for the four elements way North 

1449
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:49,760
Star is doing it. 
That's a really good point. 

1450
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:54,040
Also, I like the layers of 
storytelling because Salman is a

1451
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,040
fucking boss. 
Salman is a great writer. 

1452
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,560
All right, the way Oppo's 
knowledge of Lada and Pat's plan

1453
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,800
was reviewed. 
Revealed I think was very good, 

1454
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,560
even though watching how 
devastated lava lava Lotto was 

1455
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:08,680
my it was heartbreaking. 
Yeah, I know. 

1456
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:11,400
It was actually really 
heartbreaking to have her there 

1457
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,760
while this happened. 
The way to to the other 

1458
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:18,800
commenter's point, the way Avo 
pivots when she realizes she's 

1459
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:21,800
trapped the brother and she's 
like, you really think I'm going

1460
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,960
to let feelings get in the way 
of destroying you. 

1461
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,960
The way she did that and just 
like turned and became predatory

1462
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,240
was fucking awesome. 
And you're like, This is why 

1463
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:33,840
she's a top CEO. 
She's fucking, she wins 

1464
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:35,680
arguments and shit. 
She's fucking smart. 

1465
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:37,440
She outsmarted your ass. 
No duh. 

1466
01:20:37,440 --> 01:20:40,200
Like you can't say she's a 
genius and then have her not be 

1467
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:41,960
a genius in her story. 
Come on, guys. 

1468
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:46,240
So I love that pivot where she 
like has him and she's like, 

1469
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,720
yeah, I had you the whole time, 
bitch. 

1470
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:53,360
That was great. 
Yeah, that's good. 

1471
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:57,160
That's good. 
All right. 

1472
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:02,600
So next is from Oxy a Shayar. 
Oh my God that's a question. 

1473
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,120
Why do I love the water one? 
Because it's part of four 

1474
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,840
elements and that anthology 
format already makes me giddy. 

1475
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:11,720
Getting same characters, taking 
main character and side 

1476
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,760
character sheets respectively 
and retaining the dynamics that 

1477
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,520
we have come to love is beyond 
anything I expected to get in a 

1478
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,360
girl love show ever. 
I love the moments cousins show 

1479
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,040
up randomly. 
I do love those as well, it's 

1480
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:27,640
just fun. 2 for the water. 
More specifically it's Inglot. 

1481
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:30,600
They are killing it every 
episode, every scene, every 

1482
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:35,560
micro emotion is spot on #3 
storyline. 

1483
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:40,160
I will credit that to the writer
Salmon because her novels are 

1484
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,960
amazing and I applaud Northstar 
for actually retaining the core 

1485
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,760
of the novel and making changes 
that enrich the story. 

1486
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,520
The romance is kind of slow burn
and so so believable. 

1487
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:53,800
I love how Nam goes from stoic 
boss to down bad stalker in 

1488
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:57,440
stages. 
I like that there is drama but 

1489
01:21:57,440 --> 01:22:00,040
it's more plot and character 
driven and not just for the sake

1490
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,240
of it which some girl of shows 
won't name them. 

1491
01:22:03,480 --> 01:22:09,720
Always do and make me go. 
If you're watching this I just 

1492
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:14,920
did the emoji face. 
But if you're listening, it's 

1493
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,760
it's not a happy face. 
So what the fuck face? 

1494
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,240
I didn't know what the name of 
this is. 

1495
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,240
I don't either, that's how I'm 
describing it. 

1496
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:30,120
OK #4 I enjoy watching the 
episode and then go to my insta 

1497
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:34,000
feed which know me so well and 
watching edits of the show with 

1498
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,720
Bollywood background music. 
I didn't even know how much my 

1499
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:38,520
Indian soul needed. 
That seriously? 

1500
01:22:40,440 --> 01:22:45,280
#5 Last but not least, watching 
mom flirt with both of her 

1501
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:50,920
future sister in in law. 
She too bad She's yeah. 

1502
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,840
Too bad she is not the youngest 
and we won't get to watch her 

1503
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,560
flirt with Phi's love interest. 
You know, she probably still 

1504
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:58,280
couldn't. 
She probably still will. 

1505
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:03,840
She can't turn off the charm. 
I'm very curious about the fire.

1506
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,640
I have this weird sense that Phi
is going to be my favorite, but 

1507
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:08,040
I don't know why. 
I just do. 

1508
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,000
I'm very curious about her 
story. 

1509
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,040
Same. 
All right. 

1510
01:23:13,440 --> 01:23:16,920
Last but certainly not least 
from YouTube is Crimson Studios.

1511
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:20,240
Again Crimson, I had to edit out
some stuff. 

1512
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:22,520
You wrote a whole novel about 
the novel and I'm so sorry, but 

1513
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,480
I had to remove it for spoiler 
reasons. 

1514
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,080
I will bring it up in book club.
I'm sure you'll be there. 

1515
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,760
OK, so Crimson Studios writes 
this show is very interesting 

1516
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:32,680
case. 
Let's set a scene. 

1517
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:36,200
I'm a very impatient person, but
this spoke to my soul by the 

1518
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:38,720
way, your entire comment. 
So I just love it. 

1519
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,600
I'm a very impatient person. 
As soon as the earth ended, I 

1520
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,800
decided to pick up the book and 
I was hooked. 

1521
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:49,080
Literally same, I have finished 
reading it before the series 

1522
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,560
aired but to my luck this 
adaptation was the least 

1523
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,280
faithful to the book as of so 
far. 

1524
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,640
But in my opinion that doesn't 
make it a bad adaptation. 

1525
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,520
Case and point, queen of series.
Exactly. 

1526
01:23:59,480 --> 01:24:01,640
It's nothing like the novel yet 
I personally think it's the 

1527
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,720
perfect adaptation. 
So despite the changes I still 

1528
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,320
think it's a solid show and some
of the additions are peak. 

1529
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:11,640
Honestly, some random thoughts I
like in the series that weren't 

1530
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:15,160
in the novel #1 Atasorn while he
was in the novel and you can 

1531
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:18,040
tell how much he loves Oppo, but
he always came off as too pushy,

1532
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,880
too persistent to make Nam get 
into a relationship. 

1533
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,880
While in the series he's more 
cute and fun and he kind of 

1534
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:25,960
feels like Lam and Phi in some 
way. 

1535
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:29,360
And I love how close he is to 
Pho, which ties to my next one. 

1536
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,160
I agree he is. 
He does read more like Lam and 

1537
01:24:32,480 --> 01:24:35,640
Phi and maybe the North Star did
that because the cousins really 

1538
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:40,040
aren't in this story as much. 
So we got that flavor and you're

1539
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:41,760
like, you can see where they're 
related. 

1540
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:49,960
That's a really good point. 
All right, next point #2 is FA 

1541
01:24:50,440 --> 01:24:53,520
FA was in the Earth, but we 
didn't know how she was related 

1542
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,480
to the girls. 
But heroes reveal she's Nom's 

1543
01:24:55,480 --> 01:24:58,880
half sister, which kind of makes
her the girl's half cousin, but 

1544
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,760
she's not a within a wit. 
But that doesn't matter because 

1545
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,800
she's clearly close to them. 
So we're on the same page about 

1546
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,960
her etiology. 
My evidence is Din asking her 

1547
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:11,160
for help in sending an SOS 
message in the family group chat

1548
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,840
and she's as unhinged as the 
rest of the family. 

1549
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,120
She's not in the novel, by the 
way. 

1550
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,600
But honestly, it makes sense 
that she would be here. 

1551
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:21,040
And I love the fact that she's 
in the show because now we have 

1552
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:26,080
a source to how opt to how Oppo 
knows who Lotta is. 

1553
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:29,840
Yes, yes, that is different. 
They went through the whole the 

1554
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:33,960
whole how Oppo figured out who 
Lotta was. 

1555
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,640
They explicitly explain that in 
the in the series. 

1556
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:40,160
That is not in the novel. 
And it would make sense. 

1557
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,160
She's a reporter. 
So they have a plausible way 

1558
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,320
that ABBA would have figured 
this out and Crimson Studio 

1559
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,240
continues. 
Anyway, I hope she's in the air 

1560
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:48,760
and fire. 
I love FA so much. 

1561
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:53,480
Parentheses news reporters is my
favorite character archetype, by

1562
01:25:53,480 --> 01:25:54,880
the way. 
That's good to know. 

1563
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:56,680
It's good to know. 
Go let us know what you think of

1564
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,920
broken, broken of love in there.
News reply of person. 

1565
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:02,960
All right #3 Nate. 
Again. 

1566
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,880
Nate was in the novel, but the 
novel wanted to sell you on Nate

1567
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,960
being Lada's ride or die. 
But like, Nate is barely there. 

1568
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,760
Not in the series though. 
Nate is very integral for Lada's

1569
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,320
character. 
She's not POC, but she's up 

1570
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,680
there as a bestie who got her 
besties back. 

1571
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:18,440
I agree their friendship is 
really important. 

1572
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:22,200
So in short, The water is my 
favorite Cinderella story. 

1573
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,640
Love that you point this out. 
It is a Cinderella story. 

1574
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,920
Good step quote, sister and all.
I just think about it. 

1575
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:29,880
Just think about it. 
You're right. 

1576
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,080
It's the step sister who's 
ostracized by the family. 

1577
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,320
They're trying to marry her off 
and then she gets Prince 

1578
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:36,640
Charming who is oppo. 
Yeah, that's sure. 

1579
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:38,600
Correct. 
It is a Cinderella story. 

1580
01:26:39,480 --> 01:26:40,160
Yeah. 
Lana. 

1581
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:42,160
Yeah. 
Scripts, the studio continues. 

1582
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:46,120
Lana, Cinderella. 
Pima Dutch is the evil stepmom. 

1583
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:48,840
You're right. 
The dad is a stepmom, P Pat is 

1584
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:52,240
the evil stepquote sister and P 
Wat is the good step sister and 

1585
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,560
Oppo is Prince Charming. 
And the cousins are out of the 

1586
01:26:54,560 --> 01:27:00,560
rats, which is not the birds, 
the rats. 

1587
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:05,440
The mice they. 
Are who is the fairy godmother? 

1588
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:10,360
Who's Lom? 
Both the rats and the fairy. 

1589
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:14,960
All right, Crimson Studio signs 
off. 

1590
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,320
Let's see you people in the air.
I'm still very early in the 

1591
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:18,840
novel. 
It is so good. 

1592
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,240
I will join you there, girl. 
No worries. 

1593
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,640
But I'm going to watch the 
series first, I think. 

1594
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:26,000
Or at least we'll see how 
impatient I get before I see. 

1595
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:30,080
How impatient? 
There's been multiple series now

1596
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,800
where you just got impatient. 
That's how I know personally, I 

1597
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,560
love the series. 
It's when I'm like, I have to 

1598
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,400
read the novel. 
Yeah, that's fair. 

1599
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:44,280
All right, heading over to 
Twitter, our first comments from

1600
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:47,920
All about Girl Love. 
I love the slow burn and angst 

1601
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:52,120
energy, even if it hurts. 
APS a lotta are very interesting

1602
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,520
characters so it's great to 
follow their evolution. 

1603
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,040
Favorite scene? 
I love the back and forth at the

1604
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,640
beginning of the season, like 
APO talking about beauty and 

1605
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:03,080
brains or a lot of playing. 
Tricks abso fucking lutely. 

1606
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:06,000
I will say with Twitter there 
were a lot of comments that were

1607
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:10,400
basically like I love the show 
cause of Inkfa and Charlotte so 

1608
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:12,160
I'm not going to read all of 
your comments out but thank you 

1609
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:14,040
all for commenting. 
They are a great reason to like 

1610
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:17,120
a show. 
Next up we have is Satsuko who 

1611
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,200
writes for me it's the storyline
itself. 

1612
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,080
I really like how it was 
written. 

1613
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,080
There are no plot holes. 
Also I love this slow burn 

1614
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:26,880
relationship between the 
characters and the comedic side.

1615
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,480
Yeah this was funny. 
I also agree that makes it nice.

1616
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:32,800
I like ROM com genre. 
Parentheses is still going to 

1617
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,160
call it a ROM com and if we are 
crying through most of the 

1618
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:37,480
episodes I think it's Paris la 
Gaza ROM com. 

1619
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:44,760
Yeah, that's fair. 
There's crying anyway. 

1620
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:49,840
All right, last comment is from 
K&G, and they said this series 

1621
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,920
showed Info's innate acting 
abilities, but more importantly 

1622
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,040
highlighted Charlotte's acting 
prowess. 

1623
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:57,640
She is a natural when it comes 
to delivering different 

1624
01:28:57,640 --> 01:28:59,960
emotions. 
Both can incredibly convey 

1625
01:28:59,960 --> 01:29:01,400
feelings just through their 
eyes. 

1626
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,080
I root for them to achieve super
super stardom. 

1627
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,560
I mean, this series was, they 
were excellent in this series. 

1628
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,360
They did a phenomenal job, 
particularly because they had to

1629
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,440
portray introverts and that's 
challenging for and the actors 

1630
01:29:14,440 --> 01:29:17,040
did a very good job with that, I
would agree. 

1631
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:21,320
Yeah, I do too. 
Yeah. 

1632
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:28,320
Before we wrap up, the challenge
for you for this episode is to 

1633
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,480
write just a little bit or just 
give a summary of what the scene

1634
01:29:32,480 --> 01:29:39,480
was that of Din talking to Nam 
about sex. 

1635
01:29:39,480 --> 01:29:43,560
The sex talk that Din had to 
initiate, what was what the hell

1636
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:44,960
happened there? 
Because we were robbed. 

1637
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:49,000
So many possibilities. 
You can all come with something 

1638
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:50,040
different. 
I believe in you. 

1639
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,240
It was a disaster, I think we 
all can agree on that. 

1640
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,040
But what the hell was that 
scene? 

1641
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,520
Leave that in the comments, I'm 
very curious. 

1642
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:58,840
Thank you for joining us for the
water. 

1643
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:01,200

the air after this.
