Elite

[ryoryeonggu]

I think the new characters of Elite could have done better and had more potential to be brought on the table, especially the Blanco family.

Ari: Instead of being pushed and pulled by two guys like a bloody trophy, I would love to see more interaction and connection between her and her family members. She as a role of a daddy girl, the perfect girl always making their father proud, the sister always taking care of her brother and sister and likely to be the job of her life. How everyone seemed to put so much high hopes on her, especially her father, expected her to be there all the time and good at everything, and how much stressful and frustrating must be for her. And I want her to find someone who really see her and love her for who she truly is, not just a flawless imagine that all of the people expect her to be (and I believe that’s why she caught up in the feeling for Samuel, except from his d*ck lol and his admirable devotion towards his friends, because he was there and comforted her when her guard had been weakest and she opened up about what she felt about her mother’s death)

Patrick: Although I was pleased with all the hot scenes (damn, this boy is the most nasty and sexiest gremlin ever), there’s more of his story that the show could have explored more than just fucking and sex. Like more of his feelings and thoughts during all the time he had been paralyzing on the bed for 2 years and how much efforts (along with all the depression) he put on to get back on his feet and be able to walk again. How he felt at the moment of the accident, like he experienced all the blood lost, the unbearable pain and thought he was going to die. How he felt when his mother was dying besides him and he wasn’t able to do anything to save her. How traumatized it for him with the loss of his mother and that disburbing event. And despite everything, that all of those things happened to him was partly Mencia’s fault, so it’s understandable that he hated her for that, but instead he cared deeply for his little sister and became the closest one and the only one that Mencia could trust in their family. I like the way he’s so supportive of her with almost everything, their little secret phone calls behind their father and sister’s back, the way Patrick was worried sick and absolutely in the edge of breaking down when his sister’s missing but when she came home, he just smiled brightly instead of yelling at her because he’s just glad that she’s safe (when he had every right to be mad at her since it almost killed him the last time she disappeared). Seriously they looks like twins more than Patrick and Ari has ever been and their “partners in crime” dynamic was so pure and could be developed more.

On the other hand, I’d love to see why he’s mostly so lonely and easily be touched by just a little affection from strangers. Why’s he so desperate to find love and somebody who has meaningful connection? Even though he seemed to not so be interested in spending time with Phillipe - who’s supposed to be his friend - only it’s necessary for his benefits. For a reason, no one in the Blanco seemed to like Phillipe and even despise him to some extend and I wonder if there’s any other reasons apart from his abuse records.

Mencia: I adored Rebeka & Mencia with all my heart, they’re so cute, but they could have added more depth to their relationship by letting Mencia opened herself more about her struggles in her family. I just feel that the reason why she was so eager to push them away only because she felt guilty about what she did to them. It clearly wounded her when Ari mentioned about how much she hurt her family, because she might feel responsible for all the loss, all the pain and all the broken things that had been caused (including her mother’s death). So she lied, she was self-destructive, she did all those annoying things and tried to walk away so her family finally was tired of her and gave up on her forever. Because she didn’t think she deserved love and care from them, that she had ruined them enough. The one she feel sorry the most probably was Patrick since he was the one who had been wasting 2 years of his life on his bed and scarred for life after on his way of searching for her, so she mostly turned soft just for him while being harsh and pushy to everyone else.

Phillipe: He confused the hell out of me because I don’t know what to think of him. It wasn’t comprehensive with the way they portrayed him, like he’s supposed to be an abuser (or r*pist, I’m not sure), but there’s barely an accurate hint because most of the time, he was being either sweet or a lost kicked puppy as the girl he loved rejected him and his “friends” used him to get what they wanted then immediately tossing him aside. Apart from the hidden camera and sexual assault scene, he constantly respected Cayetana and treated her like a queen, he only had eyes for her and didn’t care at all about her being a janitor or what she had done in the past, their love story looked like a dream, then the very next second they forced the whole shallow shit down our throat. Even I understand that abusers are usually charming and wasn’t be easy to be identified, but there are should have been clearer signs. I’m supposed to hate him? I’m supposed to feel bad for him? So is there any truth as he said there’s a girl false accused him of sexually assaulting her for money? What’s the backstory of him abusing girls which his mother had to cover for? I really want to know more about the side of him before having any proper opinion about his character.

Elite

Mood board

[ryoryeonggu]

Unpopular opinion but I actually like Ari. It’s not like she’s my favourite character or something, but I don’t mind her and I think she was too overhated by the fandom. I see most of people being so pissed at her only because she’s in the way of their ships, because apart from being sort of ambiguous between Samuel and Guzman, what did she even do to people wishing her death or bodyshaming her, comparing her looks with Carla, Lu and Nadia’s? Like I agree, she might not be as gorgeous and beautiful as those girls, but she still looks pretty, elegant and quite has her own charm, and I think her voice is actually very cute. She might not be the type of woman whose appearance could knock men on their feet in the first sight, but I’m not surprised when the boys would feel something fascinating about her.

As a separate character, she was an okay one. Like nothing she did was so horrible (enough for people to want her dead) comparing to the others in the show. Even I don’t have any judgment to anyone and I love Elite, but let’s be fair, we’re in a show to a bunch of flawed characters who all did a lot of bad things to one another and other people at some point. Like even Samuel and Guzman themselves used to be in a relationship that back and forth between two girls as well (Lu & Nadia and Carla & Rebeka), making the girls fight about them and deeply hurting their feelings. And don’t even let me start with other ones as well with the whole manipulating, cheating and treating each other terribly (I don’t give examples just because I don’t want to drag the characters who had nothing to do with the topic to defend one then start unnecessary debates here, but you all clearly understand what I meant). On the other hand, Ari also has some good redeeming qualities, like the way she cares for her family especially her younger sister and tries to protect her from their father’s strictness (even sometimes she’s not really good at expressing concerns that saying something hurtful to Mencía), she definitely attempts to warn Cayetana about Phillipe - although she could be a little mean about it...

And I don’t think Samuel and Guzman actually like her though, she’s just a subject that being caught up in their weird little competition of “who’s get the girl?” “who’s moving on from the leave of the love of our life faster?” and in the end, they both chose each other over her. And Samuel and Guzman ruined their friendship all on their own, she never asked them to fight over her, and I can’t blame her to be confused about who she wanted to be with for a while since Samu and Guzman was being unclear themself.
