Everything felt realistic and natural

I really loved how we could see that everyone is imperfect in their own ways, Patts got angry while blinded with jealousy and doubt without being toxic, Tai had his reasons to lie to Patts even though he could've handled it better, Lomfon is as confused about the soulmate system as we are but he shouldn't had crossed boundaries, etc. Realistically and naturally no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but to actually judge a person for those mistakes depends on whether they'll reflect on them or not- and here we can see each of them feeling guilty of their actions. THIS is realistic portrayal of miscommunication. One of the many reasons I love La Pluie is because of the depth and realism in the characters, and we can see that beautifully in this episode.

They KNEW what they were doing with the pacing

The episode started off very calm and had toned entirely down on the drama, I immediately had a hunch a more significant incident would soon occur, and WOW. Quite a few people commented that this was too "cliche" for them with the ex gf coming back and all that, but from the last clips about the next episode we can see they did something genuinely different from other dramas with the concept, and I'm all up for it. Of COURSE Saengtai will react so immensely to seeing Patts and his ex-girlfriend kissing, taking to account how hesitant he was to approach his soulmate in the first place. I'm so glad they decided on this route with this incident, I'm sure it'll help them understand their relationship and feelings better. I can't wait for Saturday.
