I feel bad for Helliane, there was never a reason to make her a villain. She’s loved Helga from the beginning and always did her best given the situation ;-;

She is immature and quite naive, and that got her having an immature love for helga, she couldn't accept the rejection, cause i think in her head it was "why can't you love me" or "why can't you bring our family to a better light in society" or something like that, and she wanted her back so much that got obsessed with Helga, let's not forget those girls manipulating putting more fuel in her desillusion.
(I'm not really sure if all of it isthat way though ) (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

This is the strongest side romance I’ve ever seen. Imagine if more series did this instead of getting the dad figure with the daughter

I think it’s also cause usually those kind of series already had dad’s married before. Here he was never in a relationship and doesn’t have children, usually they were very in love, had children and mothers died (usually during birth which is very realistic for that time period). So, it’s also kinda different to fall in love for the first time and to forget the love of your life and have a new relationship. Would be nice if more series had mothers alive, though I’ve read many that do and don’t.
Is it finally worth going through all of this?
Definitely worth it!
