A bit too slow

After really enjoying The Earth, I was really excited to start the other elements as well. I have to say I disliked this series a little bit, mainly because it was sooo slow. I mentioned before that I rather not watch gl with the reasons of most being slow and that was exactly the problem here and why I disliked The water. The water has a pretty good concept but it's incredibly slow and boring dialogues where they just keep on talking about business. After the 4th episode I was really about to drop it but I actually forced myself to finish it. I learned that with all of the four elements I have watched I should be patient.

I'm gonna be honest, I am not very familiar with any gl pair so for me it keeps being a surprise. I have never once seen another series of Englot. I did see Engfa in Paradise of Thorns, but Charlotte is a completely new actress to me. I love seeing Heng in this series. Something about him is just really nice. He always plays evil roles but I just really like him as an actors and person. The acting job of the mains however... I'm honestly a bit disappointed. I hate to judge others but I really disliked most of the acting in the entire series. Lada was a nice character but her whole personality felt forced. Her 'shy' and 'oopsie' personality irritated me a lot even if it wasn't as bad as other series. As for Nam, I liked most of her character a lot but the nonchalant behaviour she showed towards Lada irritated me aswell.

The hotel idea is original and I always appreciate original locations. But the hotel also made me dislike this series mainly. The idea of a hotel was sweet but I'm not a big fan of the actual business talk and it just made everything very complicated in my head. To be very honest, everything also felt very unfair towards the other staff. How she randomly upgraded etc. I know there was a reason behind it but it doesn't feel right. I also hated how Lada lied about her relationship with Phat. Honestly, just selfish. They could've just said they're siblings. Also the ending did make me sad and I love how Nam actually didn't mind about Lada.

One of the things I learned is that I might have to give myself more patience. With the Earth as well, I didn't like it until episode 5. I feel like more action comes after episode 4-5 and I'm excited to see if this is the case with the air as well. I'm obsessed with the vibe that Nam has. Her glasses and her masc vibes??? Hell yes. I love her seriousness and workaholic personality as well. In Th earth we had Din who also gave off this masc vibe and I'm sooo curious about Becky oml. I really love FreenBecky and I can't wait for the next series!!

I love the dad and the sister, really. It's so cute seeing them ship Lada and Nam. I also love how the dad is super supportive. Also, just like them I couldn't wait for them to be together. It took some time but they always stayed supportive. I would've loved Lada's mom meeting Nam though but ig she is supportive. I was actually so surprised Pheemdech (Lada's dad) becoming evil., like what was that??

The confession scene was adorableee and their first kiss. They're so stubborn and silly together. Honestly, towards the ending it started becoming insanely cute but before that it was just boring. I liked the ending but not the beginning. I really hope the air won't be super slow at first and will actually be fun from begin to end. I do recommend this anyways.
