#like i'm used to the blank the series subs which have bad grammar/spelling but at least get all the names + pronouns right

ep 3 of affair was mostly great but the way they changed wan's mom's behavior (making her meddle more, ask pleng to set up wan and ek, rushing pleng to get past her trauma) pissed me off--like she was a bad mom in the book, but in a different way, and was way more indulgent of pleng which is WHY pleng cares so much more about her opinion than wan does, so changing that makes the way that pleng listens to her make less sense. also i can't believe they didn't do the timeskip this ep. the preview makes it clear it's happening in ep 4, but pacing-wise that's so stupid; i feel like they're gonna do like a quarter or half the ep wrapping up their teen years and then do the timejump, but they've only got 8 episodes and at this rate they're gonna have to cut a bunch of stuff from their adult years. and also having the timejump mid-ep is gonna make it a harder sell that they're 13 years older

also this is petty but i don't like that wan "woke up" *both* times pleng tried to sneak a kiss while they were sleeping, bc the whole thing in the book is that she keeps pretending to sleep to see what pleng will do and only "wakes up" the third time to be like "hey you keep almost kissing me and then chickening out, what gives, if you're not gonna kiss me then *i'm* gonna kiss *you*"

i did however love the cuddling + the hospital scene + the ways wan took care of pleng after the tragedy
