I honestly don't know what their plans are with Solidarius, one time he's a loyal soldier to Sapiro then was forced to become king and a husband, and the next thing he becomes a "red flag" by showing his ✨possessive✨ side, which simply means that he turns into a bitch when his position is being threatened...OR when his ego is hurt.
I have said this before that the writers are deliberately turning Solidarius into a shitty character to force the DarMea team up which basically sums up what this whole ass show is all about--forced. Mapilit lang, mapahaba lang yung kuwento. And even if the writers deny that, which they would, I just don't see why they have to fuck up his character. I like the idea of two people who were forced into marriage but eventually teamed up to survive and navigate their way into politics and getting rid of the mfs who would try to overthrow them or something mga ganern. Eh kaso they're only pushing Armea to fall for her sister's murderer and ginagawang gago yung character ni Solidarius para lang walang mag ship sa kanila ni Armea 🤷
Mitena returning to the dark side? Nakakaumay na jusko!
This never ending cycle of dying and coming back to life like...seriously? Requirement ba na pag Sang'gre mamamatay muna tapos mabubuhay ulit?
Haliyah and Gargan's back story is the same old unrequited/rejected love which is...predictable and uninteresting.
Lira is just there for the comedy and I am still not having it.
And don't make me start on GMA-7's BAD habit of putting their most inexperienced and unready actors on huge projects like this.
The thing that disappoints me the most about ECS is that they only care about the hype, but this show doesn't have the heart that the original version have, its predecessor was LOVED not just hyped, that's the difference.
