Interesting viewpoints from everyone today, I respect all of them and do understand where they are coming from. Yesterday had been disapointing - there no denying from me in this part.
My view:
Yesterday ep had been good up to the point where Moshin come for Anya to take her home and to start afresh. After that - frankly, the writers have lost their marbles.
I was against the timeskip as I felt there were so many potential layers between MoNa for the writers to continue exploring and developing their relationship and understanding and eventually end the show with a happy ending for MoNa as well as sending out a powerful message about life and its hardships. But none of that happen. Now if the writers are still keen to introduce the timeskip or leap, they should have done that after MoNa are in a strong stage with each other or alternatively create a smaller version of timeskip. 18 years is too much and I feel this is the reason why the plot felt flat and suddenly became bewildering for the viewers to connect with the current development happening in the show. Clearly, the writers didn't know which version of MoNa should be shown that it is because they haven't fully explore MoNa's relationship and struggle to create an image of MoNa that audience could relate to.
Having said that, I am still hopeful that they (writers and PH) will have something plan and store in the show that involve mainly MoNa after all they went into huge lengths to achieve MoNa pairing and that too in a convincing way. So hoping they won't let their efforts and hard work to go waste.
As for the post leap, I would argue that both Moshin and Ayna have changed, yes - you have heard it right even Moshin had changed. This could be the reason why most are not liking the beginning of post leap era. Moshin was strict and can be difficult at times in the past, but back then he did have a heart and was indirectly considerative when matters involves Ayna. He couldn't help but make exceptions for her even if he didn't want to. She was his weakness and he used to crave for her attention. Whereas now - he asked her to leave after delivering his coffee. Ayna usually didn't give up until she had it in her own way - which is why they used to unintentionally clashed with each other as they both want to dominate one another. Now Moshin came across as a quite cold person while Ayna as a passive person. This isn't the MoNa we recognise and were familiar with. So both of them had changed. The only thing that remain the same was the chemistry and spark that EmNa provide as MoNa otherwise everything in MoNa seems distorted. They were unrecognisable and came across as a dull couple who didn't have a self in them. While the pre- leap MoNa used to be unique, stubborn, independent, ambitious and knew their own self very well. The pre-leap version of MoNa knew what they want from themselves and one another. I loved that about MoNa and asked the writers to bring back the MoNa we loved and knew. The new MoNa were out of character in some places - think that was part of the problem in the yesterday ep.
To my fellow members who are actively involved in this thread and make it worthwhile revisiting this thread and to everyone else who is interested in MoNa/ this show - I urge you all to continue watching this show for, at least another few eps. To give it a chance, before deciding/coming to final judgement about the characters and this show. Since the writers have clearly gone into huge efforts to accomplish Mona pairing and character developments and I refuse to believe at the moment that they would let it go waste. They will certainly have something in store for MoNa which might turn out to be better than we have originally imagined.
ASH - as for your question about why Moshin used the word ehsaaan and the sudden change in MoNa's relationship - at the moment that remain mystery due a huge timeskip so we don't know what happened to MoNa in order for them to behave like this. Hopefully, the writers will provide an answer to justify this change in MoNa at some point in the forthcoming episodes.
