between us series episode 1 text posts because I LOVE THEM OK? IVE BEEN WAITING 300 YEARS
Win's color is blue. Loyal, free, trustworthy, and stable.
Team's color is red. Impulsive, passionate, intensive, and stimulating.
We see their colors throughout the first episode
Bonus: Win's poster is Nirvana (emotionally charged grudge rock band), while Team's is Definitely, Maybe (a romcom) correction - Oasis, the British rock band's album.
We saw the colors in the promo images as well, and also notice Win is the one usually reaching out to comfort Team.
Their backpacks will be the most common form of their colors but look for other items that include the colors.
In the final scene of episode one, we see the two have distinct physical boundaries due to the background curtains.
Win is on the darker side while Team is on the lighter side. However, they provide balance with the hair colors and shirt colors.
As Win continues to ask Team more questions to gauge his level of consent, the boundaries merge as Win starts to move into Team's space (reaching out as usual)
They are now in the bright space in the middle surrounded by the darker color. Even though this will remain a secret between them *wink*, they are fully aware of what they are doing (the light in the darkness).
“it was a wonderful four months for me. i hope we can quickly meet again in bigger venues.”
A big reason I'm obsessed with Eddie in Kiseki: Dear to Me is because he is openly prepared to die for and with Chen Yi.
I doubt the show will touch on it, but the immense guilt Chen Yi must feel that Eddie willingly followed him down this deadly path instead of being a normal teenager who goes to high school would be a good reason he doesn't allow himself to reciprocate Eddie's feelings. Because Chen Yi knows Eddie is a smart boy, yet he decided to not go to school . . . since he loves Chen Yi.
Eddie chose to enter into a life where death is around every corner, and he did so because of his devotion to Chen Yi.
And Chen Yi is constantly confronted by that.
Chen Yi tries to nudge Eddie in a different direction each time, but Eddie refuses to leave Chen Yi's side.
So Chen Yi calls Eddie brother. He reminds them both that the bond between them is synthetic. Eddie doesn't have to abide by it. He could leave.
Because he has to know Eddie isn't there to be his brother. He knows why Eddie is offering his life in exchange for as much time as possible with Chen Yi. Even if his life is short, he will have spent it next to Chen Yi. So even if Chen Yi genuinely has feelings for Eddie, to act on them would mean to permanently cement Eddie's life with his where the only outcome seems to be a young death.
And that's a huge burden to carry. Someone's life has been benevolently laid before him without hesitation, yet he desperately wants that person to live.
Even if it means a life without him.
I'll buy you snacks. Nah. Lunch also, how's that? Nah. 10 bags of chips?
Hi, not to risk sounding deranged I was wondering your opinion on the almost constant flicking of eyes to lips in the series. I noticed this particularly with Team/Prem like whenever winteam are in close proximity to eachother they always look like their .5 seconds away from kissing. Just curious if you think this was something they were directed to do to build the characters/relationship or if it's just happening cause of the tension in the moment- either way I love little things like that that show the chemistry between the characters/actors. I'm a sucker for small pieces of intimacy rather than grand gestures cause its so much more realistic.
LISTEN, LOVELY ANON.
I WELCOME DERANGED ASKS WITH SPECIAL FONDNESS AND ENTHUSIASM. THIS IS A PLACE OF EXCESS AND NOISE. YOU ARE SAFE HERE.
Now! With that out of the way!
It could very well be a director thing OR it could be a thing that BounPrem just know to do as actors. Prem also did it as Team in UWMA during the conbini scene, if I'm remembering correctly. He's always been good at those little microexpressions, and he's only gotten better since.
Like take the bus scene in episode 13 where Team's just barely smiling.
It's so hard for me to pinpoint exactly how I can tell he's smiling, but it's some very minute detail around his eyes. Like! He was BRAND NEW to acting when he took the role of Team, and he was already doing little things like this. According to New, he listened extremely closely to all critiques and took direction beautifully, so he improved exponentially throughout filming. And it's been three years since then, so he's just a powerhouse, honestly. He's good at so many things, and he's so devoted to improvement and becoming well-rounded overall. I'm very fond of him. ;___;
I did a whole thing about Prem and his microexpressions when I was brand new to fandom. He's always impressed me.
SO ANYWAY BETWEEN US.
It's definitely happening a lot. The first one I found at random when I went to look is the little surprise kiss during the bottled water scene.
Win looks down at Team's lips for a second, which is clever, because it cuts away to Team right after, so you're not expecting the cut back to Win or the kiss. This might've been a serendipitous choice Boun made that worked out well in post when it came time to edit the scene.
He does it in the wide shot later on at the pool, too!
It's such a little thing, but it's details like that that make rewatching so much fun because on the first watch you're so focused on what's going on in the big-picture sense, you might miss some of these little things.
Whether it was their idea or New's or someone else's influence entirely, I'm a big fan. <3
