Nour Episode 4

Thee's gf looked way guiltier to me, then…

Thee's gf looked way guiltier to me, then a wanna be Nour... if she isn't one - then who is the Nour that tried to take back Thee's phone at the station or zoomed into the hospital at night?!? not that anything came of the Nour on that night, what with everyone "celebrating" valentines in their own way... but she is suspect & the way she is acting, one would think she way more dangerous then she turned out to be - if i got the gist of the conversation between her & Ken towards the end. ******************
also i get why Ken wants James back in Bangkok - what with people dropping like flies in that area - but we all know that James aint going nowhere - he too stubborn to follow orders, no matter who is giving them. Ken should've thought of a different way to send him away. but then no BL so it is what it is... the fact that at the end James realized that Ken is a Nour was interesting - guess the Nour that murdered his father had the same aura (IMO Ken was the one who was chocking Jame's father or that what si thought looking at the shadow) or maybe all Nours have the same color aura? & that takes me back to Thee's gf - she had a similar aura to Ken's, when she came to see Thee's body. also why at that moment did Ken's aura become visible? cause he'd just consumed Jame's blood? or cause he was turned on & let his guard down???... hope time will tell - cause until now the questions just keep piling on. ********************************************************************************************************
until now Jirat's brother & his friend group really weren't of interest to me, but is he a bro con!?? why does he care who or if his brother dates, there is a hug gap there so isn't it normal for someone Jirta's age to be dating if not looking for a future spouse?!? & what about the past partner was problematic?!? also was he the one who saw Jirat kiss Chita (which from the outside looked they were actually kissing & making out) but it could be Thee's gf who was trying to get close to Jirat - to what end?!? too many unanswered questions.

Okay, so he is on this case so he can die.…

Okay, so he is on this case so he can die. That is what he said. James just found out that the enemy is closer than he thinks. Yeah, overall, not a lot happened in this episode but i feel like i still liked it a lot. I mean, he found out he was a Nour, then he explained it to him (leaving out the key detail that he is trying to find the Nour so he can die, but you know, that's fine), and they had wild, sex, and you know what, hell yeah. THEY WAS GETTING INTO THAT AND THIS BITCHES TALL ASS KEPT HITTING THE FAN. ALSO, OH MY GOD HIM COVERING HIS EYES SO HE COULDNT SEE HE WAS A NOUR WHEN THEY WERE FUCKING, IM ACTUALLY SICK. EDIT INCOMING, TWO ACTUALLY ONE FOR THIS PART AS WELL BECAUSE OH MY GODDDD. ALSO INTERESTING ENDING AND PRAYING OUR SIDE OCUPLE HAS PLOT ARMOR BECAUSE I WILL BE SICK IF ONE OF THEM DIES OH MY GOD. 9/10 OKAY BYE!

I have a hunch James realised...

It did look like the unreadability could be a Nour thing. But now it won't matter anymore, because James most likely understood everything from Ken's colours, and now Ken will have to do some explaining in the next episode. 🫣😟And some bits of the investigation weren't too convincing for me... Like, why didn't they ask Tee's girlfriend to specify what it was she had forgotten in the lab to make her return for it? She obviously would have lied, since it was a blood bag, but why did they never ask her that? 🤔 Or, how could she so confidently confirm that the body was Tee's just by looking at it? Except for the tattoo, there weren't any other visible clues. 🤷‍♀️5

Getting back on the fence…it’s a balancing act

After falling off the fence in Episode 2 and remaining somewhere on the ground through Episode 3, I think NOUR may finally be handing me a ladder…although I’m not quite ready to climb all the way back up. I can certainly relate to James itching to get closer to Ken and finally have something resembling romance. But apparently Ken’s idea of a romantic date is a cup of coffee over a cadaver during a forensic examination. Really? It immediately brought me back to my anatomy classes in pre-med school. Surrounded by cadavers and that unmistakable smell of formaldehyde, I can assure you…romance was the last thing on my mind.But perhaps there is something revealing about Ken in that moment. Here is a man who has lived for more than 200 years, has spent much of that existence wanting to die, and seems far more comfortable around death than intimacy. James, meanwhile, is almost the opposite. He is impatient, physical and increasingly determined to break through Ken’s walls. For the first time, I’m beginning to understand what the writers may be trying to do with these two polar opposites.Unfortunately, understanding it and feeling it are still two different things.Meanwhile, Jin and Chita continue quietly becoming the relationship I find more interesting. Their intimacy feels less manufactured and more organic, but there is something underneath all that tenderness that makes me uneasy. Perhaps I’m reading too much into it, but I sense darkness looming…and I have a feeling their relationship may eventually carry much of the emotional weight of this story.Then we arrive at that final scene.James pushes himself onto Ken almost as if he needs to prove the intensity of his desire. Ken initially resists, then notices the blood on James’ lips…and suddenly everything changes. Desire? Hunger? Instinct? Perhaps all three. Conceptually, I understand what the writers are trying to suggest. But once again, the execution left me scratching my head though I feel James knows at this point when he backed off. In broad daylight? At the bend of a road? Beside a temple? Really?This has been my recurring problem with NOUR. The series has interesting ideas, but sometimes seems so determined to create a moment that it forgets to ask whether the circumstances surrounding that moment make sense. Chemistry cannot simply be created by romantic music, beautiful scenery or physical intimacy. The audience needs to understand why these two people are being drawn toward each other.Still, Episode 4 gave me something the previous two episodes struggled to provide…movement. Ken’s emotional walls are beginning to crack, James’ attraction is becoming more consequential, and Jin and Chita are quietly pulling me deeper into their story.So yes, NOUR…you finally brought me a ladder.Unfortunately, after that scene beside the temple, I checked the ladder first to make sure all the steps were there
