Did You Know Weirdo 101 Has One Hell of a Gravitational Pull!!
Did you know that apparently the best way to flirt with someone is to hit them with astronomy facts which might sound random but actually carry the deepest metaphorical meanings? Because Cheewa certainly seems to think so and I don't disagree because Cheewa and his flirting skills have me tripping. I never knew Astronomy could be this romantic and cute. Trust me it's ridiculously cute. Like, aggressively, criminally, unbearably cute.
Niran and Cheewa are two opposites but somehow, these two end up finding each other in the most adorable and chaotic way possible. Like Cheewa said, "Raeng Rhom Thwang na kha (It's gravity)" and that's how everything begins with gravity, a jolt, a fall, a moment of eye contact, Cheewa's universal fact but he was basically just flirting... and me falling right along with Niran. One second Niran is just going about his ordinary life, and the next, gravity literally throws Cheewa into his orbit. And apparently, once Cheewa enters your orbit, there is absolutely no escaping him but honestly who would even want an escape.
What I love the most is the way Cheewa approaches Niran. He doesn't approach him like a typical romantic lead.. he approaches him with astronomy facts, random observations, the most adorably nerdy flirting imaginable, and those free hug khap... absolutely adorable. And trust me somehow, he makes all of it sound like the most natural and most romantic thing in the world. Also initially, Niran is genuinely clueless. He is listening to Cheewa explain all these random things about the universe without realizing that he himself is the subject of Cheewa's interest . And Cheewa .. oh Cheewa skipped approximately seventeen stages of flirting and went straight for the permission slip "Can I hit on you?" and that was everything. And that's when P'Niran finally gets it. Except now? He is such a poser. He KNOWS. He knows exactly what Cheewa is doing, he knows Cheewa likes him, and yet he still wants to stand there acting like he doesn't have feelings of his own. Sir, the evidence is overwhelming. The world stopped when Cheewa hugged you. 😆
Also, Niran is such a relatable character. His insecurities, his fears, his exhaustion, the way he's constantly burdened by expectations... everything about him feels painfully real. There's so much more emotional weight attached to it, and you can feel how something that once brought meaning to his life has gradually become something he feels trapped by. Beneath the romance and all the adorable moments, it's also about losing sight of yourself under the weight of expectations, trying to make peace with things that have shaped you, dealing with your own emotional struggles, and finding a way to take ownership of your life again.
As I described it, this might sound cliché, but trust me, it really isn't. The story takes something familiar and gives it its own charm, weaving astronomy into the romance in a way that feels fresh, clever, extremely cute and uniquely them. SeaKeen really brought CheewaNiran to life. They are the greenest flags I have ever seen and THE DIALOGUES. The dialogues are everything. They give me a whole damn zoo. 😠It's so beautifully written that it hits.
And I absolutely love their friend circles too. Niran's bond with Hem, Thara, and Thipok is everything. There's such a natural warmth and familiarity between them. And then Cheewa with his two nerdy friends, Jomyut and Newton... PLEASE. The astronomy club really gathered an entire collection of adorable nerds. CheewaNiran are already enough to make me lose my mind, and then their friends come in and add another 10 levels of chaos. I love these people so much.
Also when it comes to OSTs, SeaKeen's vocals never disappoint. Gravity has been playing on loop in my playlist with all of their other previous osts that I am still not over with. I am so damn in love with this series and now I have to survive seven days until the next episode, which, frankly, feels like a violation of the laws of physics. T^T
Highly Recommended!! Also it's available on youtube. So please watch it there.
