The elevator scene was so funny 😂 Mae was fighting for her life not to smile thinking Ai wouldn't be able to pull anything when that man joined them but Ai did it anyway

Watching ep 5 and OMG THAT FIGHT SCENE, they went all out on capture the flags fr. Like a whip against a sword? That's crazy cool to watch

Ikr, after Affair, I thought they'd get longer dramas. If they don't get dramas that are 10+ episodes and an hour long each after Harmony Secret, that would be such a missed opportunity

Haven't been here in a long while but am pleasantly surprised by the new poster. It looks epic

What are you doing Mae? Aiwarin could have security cameras in her apartment lol. I also love that they made Mae more cunning in the drama. They're feeling more like rivals here

And then she had the audacity to say it was too much when G pushed her out of the way like what 😭 R*pe allegation is so much worse than being shoved

I admit it, I wouldn't survive or at least not unscathed ✋😭 And Aiwarin wasn't meant to be a morally grey character. I think it's okay to complain about this because then maybe unconsensual kisses would lessen if the writers listened

I do think it goes against Ai's character. She's respectable/gentlewomanly and this unconsenual act goes against that. I think it's good you're thinking about the media you're ingesting. I did have to turn my brain off slightly on this one because I don't entirely agree with the scene. Consent is very important but with how little GLs there are, I'm trying to be more lenient so I can enjoy it. It bothers me that a lot of the queer content I've watched have consent issues and that I have to turn my brain off but I do what I must 😭

You're not the only one 😭 I'm only giving the unconsenual kiss a pass because Mewika had time, though little but enough, to decipher Aiwarin's intention and push her away but didn't, and she did reciprocate slightly

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thrown off lol and yeah, the OST is just 🤌 I hope this drama wins some kind of award for it

I was skeptical because of the kiss being so soon in the bathroom but I also understand they need to hook the viewers when they're translating this into a drama. I still prefer their first kiss to be like in the original, a little later down the line and more consensual, but the revelation that they knew each other in the past and that Aiwarin already likes Mewika makes this change work imo. This will definitely be good! The writers know what they're doing

I bought an IQIYI subscription for this and I don't regret it. LMSY chemistry never fails 🔥 There are some differences from the novel that I didn't agree with at first but as the episode progressed, I think the changes work well

That makes sense, definitely gives the ending more of an explanation for me

I love Friendly Rivalry but I have so many unanswered questions 😭

I skimmed the latest episodes and yeah, I think imma sit this one out until the show ends. Once I see the endgames, I'll decide if I'll continue because it's not looking so good 😭

I feel like I just lived a whole lifetime watching this 🥹

Only 8 episodes? I thought it was going to at least be 10 😭

I've officially became a FreenBecky fan through this drama. Acting was topnotch and they didn't hold back on the kissing scenes. They certainly know how to choose a script because this is the best written GL I've seen so far. Although the pacing could've been faster, everything else was good. Cinematography was beautiful and rich with culture, and I was hooked despite it not being my type of story. TLP is very fluffy with minimal angst until nearing the end. I generally like plots where the angst makes the fluff fluffier, but here it's the fluff that makes the angst angstier. The overabundance of fluff is what makes the pacing off. The last few episodes were my favorite because the whole series was building up to the angstier parts which made it all the more impactful. We really see the struggles noble women go through in that period

They pulled a fast one on us with that ending 😭 It felt so peaceful except for those ominous white roses then BAM! 15 year life sentence. Objectively it's deserved, but I subjectively prefer her to live peacefully with her bestie. If they don't do a season 2, this ending is tragic, but if they do, I think it makes a 10/10 opener. I'm thrilled to know they starred together in another drama. I'll give Hi Producer a try in the future to heal my wounds

I wanted a season 2 before I was even halfway finished and after seeing that ending, now I NEED a season 2. Couple Of Mirrors is truly one of a kind
