There is no real progression in time (each episode is literally the day that follows the previous) so there’s no real progression in the characters or their relationships. At this point to get them to be able to be open and honest with each other they both have to change their mindset and behaviors they’ve been exuding for most of their lives. Granted honesty only needs one good conversation I don’t think either of them are yet comfortable to truly express their insecurities to each other so the facade continues. I know this is the 8th episode and in any other show we’d be past this conflict but 8 episodes equates to 8 days in this show (and that is one of the reasons I didn’t quit watching)

Sure! I didn’t need for there to be an instant change. I just would have liked to see small steps forward through the whole season that leads to a nice build up of progression with the characters. But we’re already a few episodes into the second half of the season and it feels like they’ve barely made any progress at all. I’m personally super straight forward person and I’m very comfortable with being honest so I can make sure I’m on the same page with people. I get that not everyone is like that or is as comfortable with being honest. But I guess mainly the issue is that it’s not enjoyable for me to watch these types of things happen in a TV show haha. The whole time I can see many ways they could resolve all their problems by having a healthy and honest conversation with each other but they consistently find new ways to either make things worse or the same. This is what makes the show hard for me to watch and enjoy because I really can’t relate to or understand the characters and the decisions they’re making.

I understand your frustration. I honestly shared the same frustrations while watching it but I had to realize that as simple as we feel it would be for them to just lay everything on the table it’s not realistic for people to have an instant change.

Yeah that makes sense. It still doesn’t make it any less frustrating to have it drag on for almost the whole season. Might be ok for other viewers and that’s totally okay, but it’s just not something I’ve been enjoying about the show.

Most shows take place over a few months, I don’t even think this show covers a month. So the progression in their relationship is going to be slow.

yes i’m still upset with both of them for continuing to lie and not be genuine or honest or each other. I was hoping we’d be past the point of them lying to each other but it seems like nothing is really progressing. Kuea is still not being himself, he uses a fake innocent voice with Lian, and Lian is still not telling him everything. It makes it very hard to root for them when their relationship is based on lies and dishonesty.

Ok so... you're upset with Lian for lying to Kuea, but you're no longer upset with Kuea for lying to Lian? I'm just trying to make sure I'm understanding your view point? (I'm still in the first scene)
