This explains the burns on on his leg and he was probably saved by a nour
The wall is the part that settles it. If James's father was already up there before James arrived, then Ken has been on that fire for a long time, and Chita being pulled out of it stops being a coincidence.
You are right that the leg argues against him setting it. Someone who could not walk out did not choose to be there.
In the poster,the red thread between ken and Chita is more prominent,if it wasn't unintentional,then there is…
Same-kind rather than a pairing. That puts Chita in the poster for a reason that has nothing to do with Jirat, and it fits what Gaia said about his leg never healing.
Honestly I thought something similar about Chita too: he speaks as if he's very old (also when talking about his…
The wound not healing because a Nour made it — that is the piece I was missing. It gives Chita's leg the same shape as Prae's bandage. Two people carrying injuries that will not close, in a story where Ken burns and walks away clean.
And you are right that he talks like someone old. "A long time ago" from a man who looks that young.
I've just finished Episode 5. These are instincts, not theories. There’s no evidence for any of them.
James can see the colors of souls. What if that is because his father was not human? What if his father was a Nour?
His father also had a boyfriend. What if that was Chita?
Another one: maybe only fire made or carried by a Nour can kill a Nour. Chita could have set the fire that killed James’s father, and injured his leg in the process.
From the music and the dialogue, I have a feeling Jirat and Chita are heading somewhere tragic.
Idk if this is the right place to say. Most of the thai words is deeply influenced from Sanskrit. That's why Ohm,…
Fair, and the ordering question isn't one I'd want either. Learning this stuff from dramas instead of textbooks is exactly how I got here too. Thanks for reading them.

You're right that guṇa is identical in both, so I shouldn't have said Pali so confidently. Thai took from both languages, sometimes the same word twice: Sanskrit ศรี and Pali สิริ are the same root arriving by different roads. And Pali isn't descended from Sanskrit, they're siblings, so there's no grey zone to step into. Sanskrit came in earlier through Khmer court culture, Pali later with Theravada.
Turns out he has been calling him by his rank this whole time.
In Episode 9, Dech gets promoted. I went looking into Ayutthaya-era titles and found out that Muen was a relatively low rank, with Phan and Nai below it and Khun above.
Jumpa saying, “I’m the mother of an Okkhun now,” sent me down a rabbit hole.
For a second I wondered if modern Thai khun, the one used before a name like Mr. or Ms., came from the old title.
It doesn’t.
ขุน, the rank, is an old Tai word for lord or chief. It once sat much higher. Sukhothai kings were called Khun.
By the Ayutthaya period, the same word had worked its way down the sakdina ladder.
คุณ, the modern honorific, is a different word entirely. It comes from Pali guṇa, meaning quality or virtue, the same root as คุณภาพ and คุณค่า. They are different words in Thai too, with different tones.
A word that once meant king becoming a fairly junior official is the part I like more.
In Episode 4, the conversation drifts to Orion and the Pleiades, the star cluster often called the Seven Sisters.
If the Pleiades feel familiar, it may be because Khun Thee once pointed them out to Peach during a camping scene. That brief reference sent me looking.
In Thailand, the Pleiades are called Dao Luk Kai (ดาวลูกไก่), or “the Chick Stars.” The name comes from an old folktale.
Long ago, an elderly couple lived in the forest with a mother hen and her chicks. One day, a wandering monk came by. The couple wanted to offer him food as an act of merit, but they were poor and had little to give. So they decided to prepare the mother hen.
The hen overheard them.
Before she was taken away, she told her chicks not to hate the old couple. They had raised them all. She believed that giving her life was a way to repay their kindness.
After the mother hen was killed and placed over the fire, the chicks followed her into it. The gods were moved by what they saw and turned them into the stars of the Pleiades.
Most versions describe a mother hen and six chicks. Seven small lights in all.
In Western stories, the Pleiades are the Seven Sisters. In this Thai one, they are a mother hen and her chicks, still together in the night sky.
That makes the scene in *WEIRDO-101* feel different.
You Maniac hands that question to two men. For once, the woman does not have to ask it.
Dean is very good at making you feel wanted, without ever having to stay. Moth looks impossible to hurt. Really, he has just locked the door before anyone gets close.
So the writers make them date.
Let the “I don’t want to be tied down” guy perform devotion every day. Let the “I don’t care” guy hold hands in public. Let them lie to their friends until the lie starts keeping them awake.
Everything happened in about a week. One minute he’s taking pictures of his bias. Next minute he’s late to a workshop for a show he didn’t ask to be in, holding a script like it might bite. That’s not a career. That’s a kidnapping with better lighting.
He does not know this world. He knows fancams and merch tables. So he asks the questions you’re not supposed to ask out loud. Treats the coach like a person instead of a mood. Earnestness is a crime in rooms that run on manners and implied homework.
The show is doing this on purpose. They did not write a secretly gifted rookie. They wrote a guy who falls asleep on the script. If he’d walked in already polished, there would be no series. There would be a skincare ad.
Hair and makeup before acting class is the whole satire. Want a pop star by Friday? Skip the craft, fix the bangs, throw him on a stage and act shocked when he doesn’t know his lines.

Saved by a Nour is the part I had not considered. I had him as the one who set it.
And you are right that he talks like someone old. "A long time ago" from a man who looks that young.

Still in love. Still catty. Still the best part of the lab.

As a name, it is pronounced Shěn Mò.
But 沈默 is also an older written form of 沉默, the Chinese word for “silence,” pronounced chénmò.
So it is not quite something you hear when other characters say his name. It is something you see in the subtitles, the credits, the character list.
The silence is written into him.
He has always been there.

Win: the fathers swallow a truce and the boys get to stay.
Lose: they walk off the court and do not look for each other again. Two shops still standing. Two sons gone from each other’s lives.
They already chose each other.
I’m on that wager.
Whether the dads can survive a win.

I am not here to watch anyone suffer.
I just want to see who asks first.
Nobody makes that scene by accident. They know exactly what the machine does. They just filmed it and called it comedy.
That’s the whole thing. They’re annoyed he isn’t something he never claimed to be.
And yes. He’s a fanboy and he’s acting like it. That’s the only honest performance in the room.
