People change with time, not drastically, but no one remains exactly the same. But the thing is, many years passed since that time she was two-timing Souta. Yes Saeko is not exactly a good person, because she's toying around with Souta while also having her happy marriage of convenience, living a life doing nothing but buying expensive things and sitting around eating expensive chocolate. she was two-dimensional, straightforwardly stupid and annoying. Rather than Souta, I really felt for Saeko in this episode, to the point where I changed my mind completely about her in a span of only three episodes.
(Although he's always been pretty good at this) He completely nails acting absurdly silly without actually appearing to be overacting. His "Eh?" in the above scene was so perfectly funny that I paused the episode to sit and laugh at him. No wait, if he ended up with Matsuri, that would be something to see.īut Matsumoto Jun is doing a wonderful job with this character. He could end up with Erena, Kaoruko, or even Matsuri for all I care. It's not that I mind his goals, it's that I don't care what happens to him. I just don't care for his plight of trying to win Saeko's heart, or becoming more manipulative so that he can win Saeko's heart. But I'm beginning to find him fundamentally flawed as a main character, although it's too early to say. Souta successfully manages to become a less naive and more like what he likes to call a bad guy. But then, we all know Souta is ridiculously naive.
Unlike what Souta seems to think of Olivier. But I do feel chemistry between the two, so perhaps she's not completely against it? If she accepts him too soon, though, that will only make it seem like she's using him to get over her "boyfriend" or is just staying with him because he's nice. Since Matsuri does like someone else right now, it's not like she can instantly turn off her feelings.
I'm looking forward to how his confession to Matsuri plays out, and honestly I have no predictions for it. It was really cute that he went on the opposite direction: Matsuri? Really? But you could do so much better! It was quite a surprise to me that Souta didn't turn into a overprotective big brother monster when Olivier confessed to him, not that it makes any sense in my view, but that's what usually tends to happen on dramas. We all have flaws one way or another, and he dealt with his mistakes instantly and beautifully. I don't think that his timing manipulation and kissing Matsuri out of nowhere make him a bad guy. While his reasons for falling for Matsuri are lost on me, I wholeheartedly support anyone he wants to be with.
Olivier got an instant upgrade from that-guy-who's-just-there-to-be-a-supporting character to move-over-Souta-I-deserve-to-be-the-main-character.
