I get what you're saying too, lol. However, I always appreciate how Yuna's costumes are safe and not tacky. (There's a reason for criticizing ugly couture/intricate clothes as 'looking like figure skating costumes'.)I get it, she's portraying a character... but there's just still something off about it.
I understood that part (the red decorative "line" through her collarbones pretty much gave that away), but I honestly still don't think it matches the music. I get it, she's portraying a character; one that has been bitten by the being that the music is actually for ... but there's just still something off about it.
Just took a look at Kim's FS video. Hmmm. First off, I don't like the overall music selection or the specific cuts at all. Les Miz seems like going backwards for her as a vehicle to show off her artistic capabilities and maturity. Second, I don't like the construction of the program and choreography. And I particularly loathe those awful illusion dips in the step sequences (nor do I like any them in any other skater's program). Third, as to her performance: I'll give her a free pass on stamina issues which were apparent towards the end--for a first time out, the adjective that comes to mind on this program was "competent." But not a Wow! and I think largely because she doesn't have her performance face on. The whole program was lifelessly skated, actually, it was a downer and particularly since we know what she is capable of. Her jumps are quite good as usual, and I don't think the fall on the 2T or the popped combo was a big deal or a harbinger of doom--silly mistakes which I'm sure she'll fix on the next run of this in competition. Her spins and other elements definitely need a lot more work. Summary: No way was this a 200-point skate, despite what the judges seem to think. I felt like I sat down to a meal where the appetizer SP was reasonably yummy but the main entree FS was bland and left me still hungry.
Did anybody else think that Yuna and her team seemed surprised by the score when it was announced?
To me, it seemed that they were expecting lower scores.
How come Mae is not doing 2A-3T anymore in her FS??

She doesn't.If you popped three jumps and fell on another, wouldn't you be expecting lower scores? Yuna's good, but I'd like to think she doesn't have a big ego.
"I was surprised about the high scores," she said. "I did not expect that, because I made mistakes and could not show everything I can do.

She really needs to work on her spins....especially the layback which really has no quality...
I think that people usually don't count the fall or underrotated jumps as clearn triples
I think you forgot to read her interview before this competition.
She explained in the interview that she's competing in NRW trophy to get the minimum TES score, not to artistically prove herself. Hence why you see some awkwardness in her skating, and lack of true interpretation. I also felt a bit odd when she was skating, I felt like she wasn't giving in everything she had, not because she couldn't
