Original subtitles

(One morning,)

(I, Niran,)

(was on my way to school as usual.)

(But then…)

Sorry.

I lost my balance.

You fell just now

because of gravity.

Ah…

Okay.

(That’s how I got to learn about gravity)

(from)

(this kid.)

WEIRDO-101. [SEA DECHCHART AS CHEEWA / KEEN SUVIJAK AS NIRAN]

[SEA DECHCHART AS CHEEWA / KEEN SUVIJAK AS NIRAN]

Yes. The Gravity Between Us. [SEA DECHCHART AS CHEEWA / KEEN SUVIJAK AS NIRAN]

[SEA DECHCHART AS CHEEWA / KEEN SUVIJAK AS NIRAN]

The meaning of the title is [SEA DECHCHART AS CHEEWA / KEEN SUVIJAK AS NIRAN]

"Weird" means strange.

That's probably how other people see Cheewa from the outside.

They think he’s weird, but he’s actually just a nerdy kid.

As for 101, it's like "101" as in "the basics" or "an introduction."

That's what it means.

-Glasses. -Yes?

You said

you wanted to come over and listen to the music my dad plays.

Listening to music at your house as what, exactly?

This story is about P’Niran, who’s a judo athlete, right?

And Nong Cheewa is an outstanding student.

-He’s on the student council. -That’s right.

The story starts with P’Niran going through a rough time.

He doesn't want to do judo anymore.

Then, by chance,

he’s on a bus that suddenly brakes, and that’s how they meet.

From there, a lot happens.

Does Niran like Cheewa?

Does Cheewa like Niran?

You'll have to tune in to the series to find out.

-Right? -Yes, that’s right.

The reason why gravity plays a part is because

Cheewa is a nerd who’s obsessed with astronomy.

He's also a member of the Astronomy Club.

He’s into the universe, aliens, and things like that.

So there's quite a bit of science involved.

Gravity is one of the theories featured in the series.

It's connected to these two characters.

You'll have to watch the series to find out how.

Gravity again?

Gravity is the force of attraction that the Earth exerts on all objects.

Their relationship starts with a chance encounter, just like I mentioned.

And as you can see in the pilot trailer,

Nong Cheewa starts following P’Niran around,

while P’Niran ends up looking out for him.

At first, P’Niran doesn't really think much of him,

but who knows what might happen?

Yeah.

The kid’s really persistent.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Persistence rules the world”?

Maybe that’s what happens.

I think one of the charms of this series is that

it also features school clubs.

Right.

Everyone probably joined a club at school at some point.

The series explores what goes on within those clubs,

as well as how people outside the clubs see the students who are part of them.

His name’s Parncheewa.

Grade 11.

Student council member.

Extracurricular kid.

Standout.

Top student.

Most importantly,

he’s freaking handsome.

Damn. He’s really handsome.

I play Parncheewa.

He’s a nerd who’s into astronomy and is a member of the Astronomy Club.

There are so many stars tonight.

Yeah.

Sometimes, Teacher Boriboon would take us outside, point out the stars,

and tell me their names.

Parncheewa is the kind of person who, once he's interested in something,

he feels like he has to be a part of it.

As the title suggests, it's like gravity.

Parncheewa believes that once he becomes interested in something,

there's a force of attraction that draws him toward it.

We have our similarities and differences.

We’re similar in that I used to be a nerd,

so I know how to act like one.

That’s probably what I have in common with Parncheewa.

The difference is that Parncheewa is too nerdy.

In real life, I probably wouldn't talk the way he does.

Our interests, too.

When I get interested in something, I don't spend that much time on it.

Once I know how it works, I move on.

But once Parncheewa gets interested in something,

he really dives deep and immerses himself in it.

The challenge of playing this character?

It wasn't that challenging.

But the thing is,

since he's such a nerd,

he often says things only a nerd would say.

I had to try to understand

why he says those things and what he’s talking about.

I was looking at it from the angle of incidence.

Sorry. I should just cut you off.

I was looking at it from the angle of incidence.

Enough.

Just play basketball.

Don’t say anything complicated again, okay?

Okay.

Give it back.

Try and take it back yourself.

Deal, Parncheewa.

(Cut.)

Parncheewa is a quiet character.

He's an innocent, nerdy kid who doesn't really know much.

He seems to be keeping some secrets.

He also keeps trying to get closer to my character.

At first, I have no idea why he's trying to get close to me.

But then I start to catch on.

Like in the pilot, he says he's pursuing me.

That's when I start thinking, "Is this kid for real?"

Then there are all these innocent, cute moments between us.

Even while I was acting them out, I thought they were cute.

Sports Day won't affect my grades.

Of course I'm going to cheer for my crush’s team.

Fine. Just make sure you get there in time to cheer.

I memorize my lines by understanding them.

I think about what each line is trying to convey

and how it connects to the next one.

First, I try to understand what the script is trying to say.

I think I memorize my lines quickly

because I make sure I understand what I'm saying.

Since Cheewa is a nerd, he’s very curious.

When he doesn’t know something, he asks right away.

When he doesn't understand something, he asks why it's the way it is.

But when he does know something, or when he's explaining something to P’Niran,

he'll say, “Did you know… blah blah blah?”

The surfaces of the two bodies are pulled toward each other by gravity.

I don't normally wear glasses,

but I have to in this series.

And then there's the way he speaks.

Since he's a nerd…

I don’t know,

but I feel like nerds don’t talk too fast.

It's more of a steady pace.

Why didn’t you press the elevator button?

I forgot.

It’s a scene where I had to get thrown.

They taught me how to land properly, safely, and with the right technique.

And also, how to make it look good on camera, so we'd get it in one take.

I like how Parncheewa dives deep into whatever he's interested in.

I’m not like that in real life.

If you pay attention,

you'll notice he's a really interesting character.

Whenever something catches his interest, he goes all in.

And since he's part of the Astronomy Club,

they believe in unusual things like UFOs, different theories, and stuff like that.

So I got to learn a lot about those things too.

It’s called a kaleidoscope.

(Hold on.)

Once something catches Cheewa’s interest,

he throws himself into it.

He makes himself become the gravity that pulls that person into his life.

The story just keeps moving forward.

So many things happen.

Lean your face in slowly.

Not like that.

Make it look a bit smarter.

Smarter?

I'm happy I got to play this kind of character.

In “Hi” By My Luck, I played a genius kid.

This time, I'm a genius too, but also a nerd.

Maybe I have a nerdy personality.

I guess I look like I'm good at school.

I'm happy, and I also think this character is pretty quirky.

I had fun playing him.

I'm glad they let me do a different kind of role.

I love getting to try different characters.

It’s fun.

Parncheewa is someone…

who gets to try a lot of different things growing up.

Whatever he does, he goes all out.

Because he's so focused, he ends up becoming really good at it.

When he plays basketball, he’s good at it.

He's also good at football and at school.

He's basically the ideal high-achieving kid.

I feel like you don’t really want to talk to me.

I mean, we’re not close.

What do you want me to say?

Anything.

I don’t even know any of the planets you’re into.

I’m not just into planets.

I’m into you, too.

Oh… really?

I play Piangniran in this series.

He's a twelfth-grade judo athlete.

He's currently trying out for the national sports training center.

He's pretty quiet and tends to overthink.

He’s hotheaded too.

He often uses force to solve problems, and he doesn't really like studying.

He shows up late. He wakes up late.

Yeah.

Whatever!

My character has a background in judo.

He's basically the best judo athlete at his school.

The number one.

But one day, he starts having some doubts, and his performance begins to decline.

We're actually pretty similar. I'm an overthinker too.

But using forceto solve problems, not really.

I don't really fight anyone in real life.

And I don't have judo skills like Niran.

Niran's answer to everything is to throw people.

He's always saying, "Want me to throw you?"

(So fit.)

Not anymore. I'm really beaten up right now.

I'm sore all over.

It's the same with every series I do. I have to run.

If I'm not running, I'm falling.

If I'm not falling, I'm tripping.

If I'm not tripping, I'm hanging off something.

If I'm not hanging off something, I'm covered in blood.

If I'm not covered in blood, I'm getting thrown.

I only started training because of this series.

I got the role, and then I started taking lessons.

Once I started learning, I realized what judo is all about.

It’s fun.

(Give him a head start, then follow.)

(Then try pulling.)

(5, 4, 3, 2… Action!)

Actually, the first day I filmed a judo scene,

they packed everything into that one scene.

At 8 AM, I still didn't know how to throw anyone

because I'd only learned how to take a throw.

By around 4 PM, I could do it.

Once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun.

I think the person doing the throw gets more tired.

The one getting thrown just kind of flies.

It feels like you're on a ride. Whoosh.

But if you don't know how to throw someone properly,

the person getting thrown can get hurt.

You have to put some force into it and guide them down safely.

Sometimes you have to jump a little too, so the throw looks good on camera.

We had a judo instructor there to guide us,

and some members of the national judo team came to help as well.

Sometimes they'd throw me. Sometimes I'd throw them.

Oh, I also had to practice acting like a poser.

Honestly, I was shy and awkward at first.

But after a while, I got used to acting like that.

Now I even do it in real life, and people tease me

for always trying to look cool.

Sometimes I make that face without realizing it.

(Cut.)

(Okay.)

I don’t like it that much,

but I think he’s similar to me in some ways.

I’d imagine myself as Niran.

If I were the one facing this problem, how would I deal with it?

I still don't have an answer.

And I think Niran is still trying to figure it out too.

He’s just like me.

But by the end of the story,

I think his answer is the same answer I'd give in the future.

Yeah.

Honestly, opportunities are not easy to come by.

When you get an opportunity, you have to seize it

and give it your best.

I’m happy to be part of this series.

For one, I got to practice judo, and learn self-defense.

I got to experience what it's like.

Who gets an opportunity like this?

I’m grateful the management saw something in me.

Working on this series has been fun.

And I gave it my all.

Coach Ong called me yesterday. He said you missed practice.

You need to be more responsible.

You’re a grown-up now.

I don’t want to keep nagging you.

It starts with Niran feeling really stressed about judo.

He's been doing judo because his father wanted him to,

not because he wanted to.

He's been training since he was a kid because it was what his father wanted.

Now, he doesn't enjoy judo anymore.

He's about to go to university, and he's facing a dilemma.

Should he keep doing judo or quit?

That’s Niran’s main conflict.

Stay tuned to see how he’s going to solve it.

Like I said, how he’s going to deal with it.

(And action!)

Dad, you always say that.

Have you ever really understood how I feel?

This is what happens when you miss practice.

See?

Are you sad that you lost, P’Niran?

Of course I am.

He gives his all to his work.

No matter how busy or tired he is, once he’s on set and he hears “Action!”,

he’ll do his best

because he wants the work to turn out well.

(How does it feel making your friend run that much?)

I’m crying.

I feel bad that my friend had to run so much.

My friend got to run.

My friend got to run.

He looks like a senior.

He’s more mature.

And how do you say it? He’s an athlete too.

Since he's good at judo,

he has that athlete's presence.

He also did a lot of running.

He gave his all in every scene.

Come on!

I follow him around.

I stay with him all the time.

If something's on my mind, I just ask directly and say it as it is.

♪ Baby, where are you? ♪

♪ I look up at the endless sky ♪

♪ The day the blue sky ♪

Why are you covering your ears?!

(Cut!)

(Cut. Slate.)

I think Sea’s great. He really nailed the role.

I don’t know. He said himself he really wanted to play this kind of role.

Like a nerdy character.

Once he gets into a scene, he gets into character right away.

He’s very convincing.

He has the same straight face,

but the energy inside is completely different.

He really delivered.

You’ve been crying for hours already, P’Niran.

What do you want me to do?

I’m sad.

Sometimes, someone’s quirks, innocence,

or the things they say might confuse you.

But if you really listen to what they're trying to say,

you’ll realize they’re speaking from the heart.

It's what they genuinely want to convey.

Even when Sea was delivering his lines to me—

I'm the type of person who doesn't read the other actor's script.

I only read enough to understand what the scene is trying to convey.

But those lines really warmed my heart.

They made me stop and think.

What he said really made sense.

He doesn’t beat around the bush.

He speaks his mind in his own way.

That gave me a new perspective.

I think this series offers more than just fun and comedy.

It'll warm everyone's hearts, too.

And, most importantly, you'll even learn some philosophy about planets.

Planets may seem far away from us, but they’re actually very close,

because we’re part of one.

Oh, that’s deep.

I really love it.

Yeah.

How does it feel to be in love?

Love isn’t complicated.
