Title The Road to Splendor
Do you feel they have more chemistry here or in “Melody of a Golden Age”? The story here is definitely better, but I feel the chemistry was better in “Melody”. He seemed to yearn for and desire her more and his gazes and stares at her in “Melody” were absolutely smoldering. I don’t feel that as much here. Certainly, the relationship is very healthy and rational and loving, yet I don’t really feel any passion. Yes, it’s passionate to kneel for hours in the rain, but I’d rather see him kneeling at her feet telling her how much he loves her and stuff. I need more of that sort of thing. She confessed her love to him, but did he ever actually do the same—actually say the words—to her?
