what happened?? beware spoilers

I love the show so so much, it's honestly amazing for queer rep but i genuinely couldn't understand what happened between Ongsa and Sun, their parts in the whole episode was only abt their breakup and Sun KEPT REPEATING the same reason that couldn't really make any sense!! im glad they settled things at the end though. Sun was one of my favourite characters ever and this must be blamed on her lack of screentime, but the way she was behaving out of character, or perhaps i simply didn't understand her character. I disliked how Ongsa was treated in that episode for being scared of coming out to her parents and i simply couldn't understand what the point of this portrayal was, i might've understood that wrong once again, but it felt like the whole episode was saying queer ppl should come out with no worries bc the opinion of others in their environment doesn't matter and that didn't click well with me. I hope i got that wrong. I couldn't stop thinking about how this whole breakup thing might've forcefully been sneaked in bc of gmmtv's habit of having a sad ep 11 but wtv!! AylinLuna saved the episode for me! I still enjoyed it but imo it was the worst episode of the show, hopefully ep 12 catches up!!!!

Ugh

Being afraid of coming out to one's parents is not some kind of sin. Sun was the one that first outed Ongsa's cousin and then Ongsa herself but Ongsa is the one that has to spend the entire episode crying and begging for forgiveness? Especially since her mother in the book IS IN FACT a homophobe that is constantly treating Ongsa's father's bisexuality as a personal attack. I just. Ugh!
