Personally, one of the reasons why the lily line of this show is so sweet is that the screenwriter's exploration of the sexuality of adolescent girls, the layout of the lily line and the description of various small details (such as the stairs talk, Emaline pulling Kate's trousers, cute and sweet exploded), They are all very young and very real and beautiful.
The whole play is mainly based on Kate's perspective and life. In the 8th episode, E said that he compared Mean to K because he was jealous that she could be herself and thought she was cool. Kate had an unbelievable expression on her face. It means that Emaline has been following Kate in private! Nerd, who has no friends hiding in the toilet to eat, who would take the initiative to observe?
Seeing this, I suddenly understand Emaline's various Bitch behaviors.
In the locker room, Emaline found that Kate was peeking at her and blatantly slandered Kate; when she was playing the game of tossing the wine bottle, she was the first to throw the wine bottle to Kate to embarrass her; Pack. Emaline is approaching Kate in a very Bitch way to get her attention. Like a common adolescence story, the way some people like someone is to bully her.
One of the main lines of the whole play is Kate's exploration of her own sexuality, but not everyone can be sensitive to their own sexuality in adolescence like Kate, and some people are ignorant and reckless. my own. I think Emaline probably falls into the latter category. She has a beautiful appearance, a sexy figure, an outgoing personality, plus a handsome boyfriend, a typical perfect "straight girl school flower" configuration. At first, Emaline may feel that she should be the "standard setting" of this straight girl school girl, the focus of the crowd. Until the handsome boyfriend in "Standard Setting" completely ignored her and ran away from home without a word.
In episode 8, Emaline told Kate that she has always been Oliver's girlfriend, and now that Oliver is gone, she suddenly doesn't know what to do. She envied Kate not having to accommodate others to change herself. This just shows that Emaline has never been clear about who she is. She just follows the image in the mainstream consciousness that she has become a "standard school beauty" and has become the focus of everyone.
Lastly, I would like to say that there is no such thing as a story of a straight daughter who "bends". Human sexual orientations and emotions should be diverse, and cannot be simply defined as "straight" or "curved".
Looking forward to the second season, maybe the character description of Emaline in the second season will be a little more. In the United States in the 1990s, homosexuality was still very conservative, and there would be more dramatic conflicts.
PS: I really like a detail, it is the joy, excitement and smirk on Kate and Emaline's face after kissing on stage in the last episode. Her father, who didn't know why, noticed it and said to her: You are shining, your smile lights up the audience... Hey, your little Ji cub is about to come out of the closet.
