I think things went a bit too well for Cilka, I’m not saying she had to constantly face heartache after heartache, but I think it would’ve felt a bit more believable if things didn’t really go her way.

I wish there was a bit more emphasis placed on the various relationships that Cilka had. E.g., her and Elena becoming friends, like when did that happen? I get she helped her out here and there, but it wasn’t really shown just told.
