Part 1: Who Plays Behind The Things I Wanted To Say Vertical Drama’s Screens & Their Characters?
Summer Savage (Actress: Kirby Ellwood)
Things I Wanted To Say vertical drama narrates Summer Savage as a girl who values her family and a peaceful life. Before meeting the devilish Whit Lancaster, all she knew was to please her mother.
The only time Summer’s mother ever lashes out at her is when she rejected Lancaster Prep’s offer. Instead of respecting her decisions, Summer’s mother slaps her.
That’s because her mother not only has an affair with Whit’s father. Instead, she also denies that whatever belongs to Whit’s father goes to his mother instead of her.
That way, she feels compelled to send Summer to Lancaster Prep, and that’s how Summer gets bullied. For so long as she stays at Lancaster Prep, she never hears kind words from anyone. Yet, she refrains from showing her weakness in front of those bullies.
Talking about Summer’s behind-the-scenes actress, that’s Kirby Ellwood. That’s also the same actress we see in Doctor Boss Is My Baby Daddy and Sweet Wild Bride Of Mine.
Whit Lancaster (Actor: Pablo Kaestli)
For Summer, Things I Wanted To Say is her journal that consists of her description of this dashing-looking guy. He is Whit Lancaster, the school’s golden boy, who looks like an angelic knight from the outside.
Inside, he’s the devil who won’t hesitate to use his authority to get on Summer’s nerves. For Whit, it’s never enough that he calls Summer out and publicly declares her as his enemy.
Instead, he issues an order for other classmates to refrain from talking to and about Summer. He even makes Summer’s life an example to force everyone to comply. For instance, his acts of banning her from claiming her lunch at the cafeteria are just the beginning.
Deep down, Whit can only wish he would confess his actual feelings for Summer. As for his internal struggle, that part is also where actor Pablo Kaestli shines!
We can also watch ReelShort’s Blood & Silver: Rise Of The Alpha’s Rejected Mate movie to witness his acting skills. That’s where he plays another main male character in a love-hate dynamic.
Sylvie Lancaster (Actress: Raina Silver)
Things I Wanted To Say vertical drama clarifies Sylvie Lancaster’s status as Whit’s little sister. Such things make Summer suspect her, especially that Whit owns the Lancaster Prep school.
Yet, more episodes show Sylvie not only understands what Summer is facing. Instead, she even becomes Summer’s BFF despite her brother’s clear warning not to talk to her.
Like Summer, Sylvie also has some stubborn streaks when it comes to defending her closest ones. Personality-wise, she also shows a one-of-a-kind degree of maturity when compared to her older brother.
Not only does she defend Summer by demanding her brother return her journal. Instead, in the end, she also affirms Summer and Whit’s feelings for each other.
Raina Silver plays Sylvie’s strong-willed younger sister and BFF role brilliantly! As for the actress, she played in ReelShort’s Djinn Under Contract before starring in this high-school romance movie.
Elliot (Actor: Ryan Koch)
The disheveled-looking Elliot of Things I Wanted To Say vertical drama is one of Lancaster Prep’s bullies. He usually teams up with his two male minions. Sometimes, the female students, except for Sylvie, who becomes Summer’s BFF, join him.
Elliot has a sharp eye when it comes to looking for chances to bully the vulnerable ones. Once he does, he only gives a bare minimum plus some reassurances to make his victims dependent on him.
He does it to Summer after seeing how the cafeteria lady skips her lunch. A mere apple is the only thing he puts on her tray. As soon as she softens, he and his minions drag and haze her.
Ryan Koch might be a newcomer actor, but he has portrayed Elliot’s despicable personality well. Apart from this movie, he has also starred in a cheerleader-themed movie in 2017.
Part 2: What Are The Stories We Can Get From Watching Things I Wanted To Say Full Movie?
We can expect the first few episodes of Things I Wanted To Say to narrate how Summer feels about Whit. Her struggles to forget his face and how brutally he kisses her lead her to name her journal that way.
Even though her mother forces her to go to Whit’s school, Summer refuses to have other people read her journal. Such things especially apply to Whit Lancaster himself, who refuses to let her go since the school’s party.
Whit might have rescued her, but a part of him demands her responsibility for whatever Summer’s mother does. At first, Summer doesn’t get it until Whit shows how his father makes out with her.
Such things emphasize how other Lancaster Prep students mock her as a whore. After all, her mother’s status is that of the unwanted mistress of Whit’s father. Not stopping there, Whit’s father even refuses to give her anything apart from the constant ONS sessions.
Whit’s mother, Sylvia, knows this, and that’s what makes her despise her son’s relationship with Summer. Then, again, Summer struggles with her feelings when it comes to Whit.
A part of her thinks Whit is just a spoiled rich heir who constantly bullies her. Another part of her wishes that Whit would constantly be present in her life.
So far, only Whit’s little sister, Sylvie, acknowledges her feelings. So, will Summer and Whit be able to acknowledge their feelings for each other?
Part 3: What Do We Love About Things I Wanted To Say Vertical Drama’s Stories?
We love how Summer’s diary in Things I Wanted To Say vertical short episodes becomes the main character! The diary even shares the same title as the movie’s title. Furthermore, it also uncovers Summer’s feelings for Whit.
Whit has everything she and the Lancaster Prep school girls would desire. He is drop-dead gorgeous and comes from a wealthy family that regularly spoils him. Let’s not forget he is loyal and protects everyone he loves.
For a moment, we think that Whit might be the popular guy, which causes him to act arrogantly. Even when he shows affection, he ensures to show it in the subtlest ways possible.
That way, only some one-of-a-kind individuals can unlock his soft side. For instance, we can relate to his amusement when Summer punches him in the face.
She is fearless despite whatever affairs her mother has committed with her father. No matter how hard he tries to punish her, he keeps falling in love with her. Interestingly, Summer also feels the same way, as she overthinks him.
Summer’s accidental bump into Whit as she tries to get her diary back is something Kirby Ellwood plays well! We also love the ways Whit’s actor self, Pablo Kaestli, paints his facial expressions.
Part 4: Conclusion
Things I Wanted To Say short dramas’ stories immerse ourselves in not only whatever things Summer writes about Whit. Instead, it also portrays her chaotic days at the Lancaster Prep school.
Throughout the movie’s episodes, we discover that the prep school becomes the silent witness to her falling victim to the bullies.
At the same time, the school also silently witnesses her budding feelings for the so-called devil-in-disguise. That guy is Whit, and we can see how he acts on the ReelShort platform!
