Love You Teacher (REVIEW)
CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILER!!!
Love You, Nong Sun!
I think, the way I wanted to describe this series is like, when you're cuddling with your pillow and plushies, wrapped around your favorite blanket, when it's night and storm and cold outside. This kind of comfort is like the best kind of comfort, despite how scary the outside world is...
What I wanted to say here is, Love You Teacher is probably GMM's best way to show mental awareness, trauma, and healing at the same time. The story is heavy on Solar's mental condition, after a car crash he suddenly have age regression to when he was 5 or 6 or something I vaguely remember. Pobmek as his lover of course tried his best to take care of Nong Sun and Solar at the same time.
Love You All, Teachers!
Solar and Nong Sun being the focus doesn't mean they overshadow other characters too. First, Pobmek, he's the one who portray PTSD or something like that (I ain't no expert on this sorry). And then Jee, who explicitly said that he has OCD, and principal Sodchuen, with her low self-esteem and sometimes looking down at herself which I found relatable. sometimes...
Hopecore is like the core of this series. Everyone is very supportive and really tried to help Solar to recover. They all willing to accept and learn, especially Pobmek of course. Sometimes it shows that he is tired too, to show that he ain't no hero who can endure everything all at once.
That's what I like from it. Despite looking very hopeful, it's still not far away from your average human experience.
Very Vibrant I Love It
I mean just look at the poster! first time I saw the promotional posts, I got easily fell in love with the designs, It also tricked me a little bit because makes me think that it gon be full fluff, romcom series but nah...
Welp, it's about an elementary school teachers after all. So the visual graphics stil checks out with the theme.
Goodbye, Nong Sun...
At the end, we gonna say goodbye to him. After Solar learns more about his past, remembering what was actually happened, face all the trauma Nong Sun hid from Solar, and then acceptance... Sun's job to suppress all the trauma is done, no need to hide it from anyone even himself. So, as the last farewell, Pobmek and Solar took him to the beach, enjoying his last sunset together. As he became one again with Solar...
I almost cried here man... And why did they need to put such music here...
Da Conclusion
At first, I don't expect anything from Love You Teacher. PerthSanta isn't my ult so I'm not crazy biased like SeaKeen which by the way the are here too! in the last episode, as an intern... Okay back to PerthSanta, their performance here are phenomenal. Esp Santa for making Sun and Solar behave pretty much different...
My final rating: 9/10
Very great, very solid. All aspect works together, and I learned a lot from here...
