#that i know they'll deliver* and still being mesmerised

[lazzarella]

First of all, I want to say that everyone is incredible in Ossan's Love Th, but I am SO obsessed with Earth's performance.

I knew he could do comedy because I watched Mama Gogo recently and was also obsessed with his performance there. (I also maintain he was very funny in Cupid's Last Wish in some scenes.) And I knew he's great at ~drama and emotional scenes because of everything else. But, somehow, I still wasn't prepared for how obsessed I'd be?

The way he makes himself smaller but not meek. The way Heng is constantly brimming with (often) nervous energy and so the contrast when he's not (like the rooftop scene with Mo) is so effective. His facial expressions, which range from laugh-out-loud silly and goofy to painfully sincere, but the shift is never jarring. The way you can see him falling for Mo, how drawn he is to him, even if he's not fully aware of his feelings. Not to mention the physical comedy that has me rolling every week!

And he's bringing out the kindness and sweetness that I loved about Haruta in Heng so well too! Haruta was such a lovable character because he can be selfish, but he's also incredibly kind, and Earth is treading that balance so well.

Tbh I always lowkey worry posts like this sound condescending in some way. It's not that I ever doubted he'd be great, but what I love is that I knew he'd be amazing, and I'm still blown away every week
