Harmony Secret EP 4

FYI, the side couple, LillyBelle’s show is called I Wanna Be Sup'tar. It premieres on 6 February with 8 episodes. This Harmony Secret episode hints at their chemistry. The personalities of Yam and G reflect their respective bosses so well. Especially Yam’s personality.

We start the episode right after the pool scene, Ai and Mae are getting in their bathrobes about to get back to Ai’s suite. In the IQIYI version, we get a mention of added “security” Ai put in place so that her father couldn’t spy on her; we also get a slightly longer makeout scene before Mae says “Stop.” Bit Mae says they don’t know each other yet, and she wants to remedy that. Ai agrees and asks her what they should do, then. Shower – separately, Mae suggests, As Ai leaves, Mae is placing the listening device she got from G inside the room. After the credits, we see G at the Althea but unable to reach Mae. She orders a vodka shot, but Yam says they should take two shots each. She claims they can be friends, but G doesn’t want any new friends. Well, but they are both loyal subordinates who trust their bosses. Yam claims – and down the first shot. Several shots later, she wants to dance, and dances alone as G doesn’t want to take part. The Mae calls her telling her to go home for the night; she leaves, but drops her keycard in front of Yam. On the top floor, Ai brings Mae a hot chocolate to warm her up; Mae drops her phone which is picked up by Ai – we see that the bug has been placed on the underside of a table (not the most hidden place). They get into a playful banter about nicknames, and Mae warns Ai that she may not be as good as she seems, but Ai doesn’t care. G is reaching her apartment and gets in with a spare key card hidden outside. She takes some sleeping pills as Yam contacts her and wants to bring her the key card. She arrives as G is almost passed out – she does so as Yam gives her the keycard dropping onto Yam outside her room. In an additional scene for IQIYI, it is shown that Yam stayed with G until the morning before leaving for work. The next morning, Mae wakes up to the sounds of Ai moaning into the listening device. Mae calls her up, but Ai is just working out. Well, the bug is working… Later, Ai calls up Anne from Andromeda fashion to discuss the plan for the bid and schedules a meal for them. G sees on her phone that Yam had caught mosquito bites. She recommends putting ointment of them, Yam calls her up and explains that she couldn’t lift her, so she spent the night outside her place swatting away the mosquitos – mostly from G. The call then ends because their bosses call them up. Mae informs G about Ai’s phone call with Andromeda Fashion, G thinks it might be a good move to try and poach the company from Ai’s reach. Mae asks her to get Andromeda’s CEO Anne on the phone. Mae shows up in Ai’s dress to the meeting with Anne, and Anne invited Ai to the meeting. Mae leaves again, Ai follows her, but Mae is angry that Ai got the upper hand again, and also jealous of Anne. Ai wants her to make her proposal and say she’s willing to support her, but Mae finds this condescending and doesn’t want to be treated as a rookie (well, you are, aren’t you?). On the road, Ai calls her, but she doesn't pick up. Then Rachen calls, and proposes a meeting; she accepts. In Rachen’s office, he first brags about his addiction to winning; then proposes they work together on the bid (that sounds perfectly reasonable… 🤦‍♂️). Mae tells him that she will hear his business proposal once he finishes his preparations. The next day, Mae gets a package containing streetwear, Ai sent it to her so that they could go on a date “anonymously”. Ai shows up in Yam’s car and picks her up; Mae warns her to not pull ticks again like with Andromeda, because that would make her feel worthless, as Ai promises that they go out on a date as normal people. They sample a bit of the street life, and talk about their mothers. Then, in the third scene exclusively for IQIYI, Ai brings them to a spot overseeing much of Bangkok from a different perspective, and they talk a bit about their upbringing – Mae as the classic “rich girl”, and Ai who always sampled the unusual, unexpected. They philosophize a bit about the poor people living feely, happy lives, yet, they lack the money to treat their loved ones well. Ai returns home happy – until she gets a photo (from whom?) confirming that Mae met with Rachen which ends the episode. ___ This time, Ai acted more genuine as it was Mae’s turn to up the spy game – with limited success, I’d say. As long as they are constantly looking for way to up one another, this relationship is surely doomed. But it was entertaining, even if it hadn’t the WTF moments of the previous episodes. Now, we’re getting into the second half of the series – and surely, things will speed up again.
