now that it's the next day and im less annoyed, two things i thought was interesting in the mexican adaptation--

when the gaslighting arc starts, lety's like 'yeah we should go back to omar's place' and fernando, instead of being excited about it, he's scared bc she had told him various times she didn't want to bc of 'guilt'. so he's in the bathroom pacing, worried bc 'this isn't like her'. which i thought was funny.

when they go to the event and she tells him she needs to leave bc someone came to get her, he assumes its her dad and he immediately is like 'i'll talk to him' and she says 'no , it's tomas' and he grabs her hands and she pulls back and says 'ppl can see' and he says 'i dont care'. she insists she's leaving and he can't make her stay bc they're not at work. but he doesn't care and drags her away.

that is as 'dark' as the scene gets. bc the next scene its back to light hearted comedy where he's flirting with her again. they really don't want to go there with him (making him crazy), which is disappointing.

#im gonna rant here tho bc GOD the purity pr train in this insane and i never noticed it at 16 #i forgot about the psychic that wanders mexico city and hunts lety down to let her know there's a letter she needs to read #but not before saying that 'her love was pure and good' and that shes not a bad person #meanwhile fernando is buying her a single white rose bc it reminds him of her purity and innocence (im so sick to my stomach rn)#and then he tells her that when he gives it to her (if a man said to me i would never see him again)#and then when lety reads the letter she's asks the st judas figure (that the psychic gave her)#what she should do and why this happened to her and then her rose dies in like 5 seconds since he gave it to her magically #they really do frame it so the affair portion is his fault and only his fault by having the narrative insist that her love is not 'tainted'#like yes a lot of things are fernando's fault--the embargo caused by him and omar poor decisions and the making up a new company #to save his company was his idea but lety said yes at various times #when she could have said no #that's kind of the point--both taking responsibility later for their actions #they also dont want her to be 'bad' by having her talk to the st judas figure--like---Okay. (kill me)#anyway i need this version to go to jail or something
