I'm totally in love with both of her programs. IMO James Bond is Yuna's best SP since Roxanne, which is my favourite ladies' SP ever. I'll have to see how it grows on me as the season goes.
I love love love that posing during her steps! I believe this program is meant to be fun and entertaining more than anything else, and IMO it adds just the right touch to the otherwise explosive and dramatic step sequence. I'm not as crazy about the gun pointing at the end, but Yuna pulls it off so well that I cannot complain.
As for the LP, I never really warmed up to Gershwin's concerto before but Yuna's skating is so good that again I'm won over. If not exactly dramatic and spectacular, this program is light and cheery and full of happy moments. All of which is enhanced by Yuna's beautiful skating skills. I honestly believe her skating skills and transitions are as good as Jeffrey Buttle's. She simply floats over the ice, looking so serene and relaxed even when she's doing all those complicated turns. I don't think she was this good last year....or was she? I'll admit that I am blinded with love that I cannot really tell.
Well enough of my fan-talk. Even though she was amazing, Yuna doesn't seem to be totally comfortable with her programs yet (understandably so, since this was her first competition of the season) and things can only get better if she keeps up her current level of consistency. Go Yuna!!!!
