#Happy Birthday Kanghan

[respectthepetty]

Happy Birthday, Kanghan!

I may be easy, but I'm not cheap, so I always like seeing how wealth is displayed in these BLs.

Max got Kanghan a limited film camera imported from the United States.

but . . . Kanghan isn't into photography.

Nawa got him a Liverpool jersey, No. 8, from the 2005 UEFA Champions League, but I'm going out on a limb and assuming Liverpool is not Kanghan's favorite team (Messi is Inter Miami now, so forget those European team, and come on over to the United States side of life, sir).

Pimfah painted him a portrait

Which he liked the most.

I think Kanghan likes Pimfah, so obviously he would like her gift, but . . . *put a pin in it*

Kanghan's dad got him the motorcycle, but he picked the model for Kanghan instead of letting Kanghan decide.

Sailom sang Kanghan "Happy Birthday" and grabbed a cake from Kanghan's fridge for him.

Kanghan isn't even aware of what is in his own fridge, so he was surprised that Sailom had asked the staff for it, but he was genuinely thankful for it.

Because it isn't just about liking the person (IF Kanghan does, in fact, like Pimfah), but about the effort. *take that pin out from earlier*

When Kanghan's friends ask what Sailom got him

Sailom answers that he wasn't aware it was Kanghan's birthday (even though they spent the entire day together *put another pin in it*)

And this could be a subtitle choice, but it's interesting that Sailom says he didn't "prepare" anything rather than he didn't "buy" anything.

We know Sailom doesn't have McDonald's money, but Pimfah didn't purchase anything and Kanghan liked her gift the most because it took effort.

AND IT WAS SURPRISING!

But why not skip tutoring, so he could celebrate his birthday with his friends? Why spend all day with Sailom, yet not tell him that it was his birthday? *take the second pin out*

Because he wanted to spend his birthday with Sailom without making it about him. And this possibly started the night before.

The boys didn't leave the school until after 10 pm; then, Kanghan detoured to the restaurant "just cause", so it had to be late when they left there.

A few people have written that Kanghan isn't lonely. He has a grandmother who loves him. He has friends who want to hang out with him. So why did he want to spend the night going into his birthday with Sailom?

Then proceed to spend all night with him the next day?

Because he enjoys spending time with Sailom, sure.

But it's because the time he spends with Sailom is full of surprises.

Every interaction he has with Sailom surprises him. Kanghan, who is bored with his life and money, finds Sailom unpredictable, for good reason.

Sailom brings up a lot of feelings™ in Kanghan because Kanghan never knows what to expect, so Kanghan is acting out in less predictable ways as well.

Because he doesn't know how to describe what is happening, but he knows the feelings™ Sailom evokes in him are real.

And that's what Kanghan is really craving - something real.

He has his kingdom of cardboard and trash.

He could buy anything he wants, so he wants nothing.

His two best friends get him gifts that he doesn't even care about. His father makes decisions for him, so he doesn't have to think. But Sailom gives him something different, something new, something real, and something worth the effort - Sailom gives Kanghan himself.

Sailom has nothing else to give Kanghan but himself. The cake comes from Kanghan's own fridge. The guitar for the song is borrowed. But Sailom gives Kanghan his attention, which is all Kanghan really wants.

So Happy Birthday, Kanghan!

I hope you enjoy your present!

DANGEROUS ROMANCE | Ep 3

[srnileforme]

a bit obsessed with the way my poor and rich boys kanghansailom and sandray literally have names that are meant for each other and so many parallels.

kanghan (windmill) and sailom (wind) - i mean this is quite obvious but to quote kang, "without wind (sailom), how can a windmill (kanghan) spin?"

sand (who was given the nickname "sand" because his mom conceived him on a beach) and ray (as in "a ray of sunshine" while his real name "pakorn" means "sun") - ray thinks he/his heat is too hot for anyone to handle, but 'sand' can withstand any amount of heat without melting or burning.

they both started off as enemies, but through saving each other (sand driving a drunk ray to his place and taking care of him, and kang saving sailom from those debt collectors) they cleared the air and started anew in their own ways.

it's the way they both started hanging out with each other and getting closer because sand and sailom were hired to in a way (sand as ray's drinking buddy, driver, etc. and sailom as kang's tutor). sand and sailom hate free money and use every method they can to earn it, while ray and kang are used to just throwing it at whatever they want and getting it.

as they get closer, we see them introducing each other to their different worlds which i really love:

• kang taking sailom to a restaurant and showing him how to cut and eat steak.

• sailom taking kang to a bar in clothes they bought from vendors on the street and making him try street food.

• sand convincing ray to ride with him on his bike instead of ray's air-conditioned car, dragging him to a second hand vintage shop, dressing him up, and taking him to a concert in a parking lot.

also, isn't it kind of crazy how sailom and ray both found out that it's kang and sand's birthday a day before their actual birthday and sang an impromptu happy birthday to them after spending the whole day together???

ANYWAY, LOOK AT THEM.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

Dangerous Romance, episode 3

01/09/2023

[gaiaxygang]

rewatching ep 3 and having some thoughts. kanghan putting his thumb over sailom's lips before fake kissing him (something which sailom points out) feels a bit like a joke about fake kisses in older bls but what really gets me is the guitar

usually when you see a guitar you expect some romantic singing and falling in love. which is exactly how it goes in the novel! sailom sings a song to kanghan as a present and kanghan starts to fall for him

BUT it is not what they do in the series. instead sailom sings a probably intentionally cringe happy birthday which feels again like another subversion and i adore it
