This episode wa such an emotional ride. I cried along with Niran. Like seriously, Keen is such a great actor. Also "Free hug khap, por" really got me. Cheewa is really rubbing off on his P'Niran. And CheewaNiran being soft for each other has my heart. The cheek kiss was a little disappointing though. It was such an awkward angle but honestly I'll take it.
Did you know? Seven days is approximately 1/52 of a year. So one more week has completed its journey around the calendar which means it's finally Weirdo 101 day.
Cheewa. The school council president. The good kid. The responsible one. The guy who is supposed to be setting an example. Ditches school and runs to find his P'Niran.
The contrast is everything. This boy who is usually so responsible will apparently throw every rule out the window the second Niran needs him. 😭 Cheewa doesn't just say he cares about Niran... he shows up. He keeps choosing him, again and again, in all these tiny ways. Watching them find comfort and safety in each other is destroying me. 😭
This series is my comfort series. It feels like a warm hug every single time. There has't been a single episode that I have watched just once. I watch it, replay so many scenes while I'm watching, and then the next day, I rewatch the whole thing again whenever I get the time. And let's not forget me watching it all over again alongside reaction videos. I seriously, seriously love this series and them so much.
I don't know when but surely they will. In the novel, they kissed in the special episode... not even the epilogue. And honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Their osts are so good. Their osts from Only Boo, Head 2 Head still hasn't left my on loop playlist and now Gravity and Beside you. I seriously love their vocals.
I am having full blown cuteness aggression every freaking episode. Cheewa's flirting and Niran's vulnerability have me absolutely spiraling. So I genuinely don't know what people mean when they say this might be their least appealing series or that the story is non existent or boring because I am genuinely enjoying every bit of this.
For me, the story is literally in the way these two slowly get under each other's skin. Cheewa is so openly fascinated by Niran and has absolutely no shame about making his interest known, while Niran is this emotionally guarded boy who doesn't even seem to understand what is happening to him. And watching him slowly go from "why is this weird kid always around me?" to actively looking for Cheewa, wanting him around, protecting him, teasing him and getting visibly affected by him. THAT IS THE STORY.
And I especially love that Niran's vulnerability isn't just there for romantic angst. His whole struggle with judo, expectations and his broken family gives so much more weight to why Cheewa's presence matters to him. Cheewa doesn't just flirt with him... he enters Niran's little world and makes him feel seen in a way Niran desperately needs.
Maybe if someone is looking for a super plot heavy series with constant twists, this isn't that. But calling it boring because the story is character and relationship driven feels so strange to me. I'm literally sitting here getting attacked by every tiny look, every flirt, every vulnerable Niran moment and every instance of Cheewa being an absolute green forest.
