enum underlying type vs normal type

If i try to compile below code it will give me error that 'enumerator value too large for underlying type 'char'

enum class Status:char{one=126,two=127,three=128};
Status s = Status::three;

However if i execute following code compiler don't give me any errors and silently ignores that char upper range is crossed

char x = 128;

So is there any specific reason why compiler don't check in case of normal data type and check for range in case of enum underlying type.
