Moonlight Chicken (2023)

Mid-final plots fly straight to heaven, left the angels at full bliss but also crying from up above.

I have mixed emotions in this series, in a more positive way. I didn't vibe it at first but it continued to grow on me. The emotional scenes from mid to final episode caught me off-guard. The throw of well-written lines of the characters gives a strong impact in me. This series didn't give too much intimate scenes which I respectfully admire. A deep connection between couple (LiMing-Heart) is more valuable than having more focused on intimate relationship. I think their plots are stronger and more interesting than Jim-Wen. I think Gemini-Fourth really carved their names on this industry. They totally nailed their roles. Jim-Wen relationship development lacks depth and there is nothing fresh to see. Their chemistry (Earth-Mix) is always that perfectly wonderful though and make their decent plots a lot better than it would be.

What deserves justice is my Khaotung-First ship. I expected something different but then I understand that they are just supporting leads. Well anyways, Khaotung (as Gaipai) singing on mic continued with that sad song (which I want to know the title) is my tearjerking moment in this series. On the other hand, First (as Alan) has the best character development in this series. The development of all characters is fairly thought and executed except Alan since he really needs the most attention in character development.

Overall, this is a recommendable series to watch. I love it.

It's a very interesting and enjoyable slice of life series. Almost perfect

It's one of my favorite series instantly. It openly talks about many issues and subtly talks about others. Within just 8 eps it has managed to tough at the right spots. The acting, was phenomenal to say the least. I mean- I could easily say that I, personally, haven't seen any better-acted series among many of the c/t/k-dramas. At one time I was like- 'Wow, Fourth acts as if he's li ming whose uncle is not understating him', at other time I was like- 'Is First crying or is Alan crying?' then I was like- 'bro it's so hard to act deaf with all those sounds audible around you', 'Earth at a young age is giving a vibe of a mature person who has faced everything', 'Mix is delivering the feelings well', 'Khao looks extremely heartbroken as if he was rejected' and 'Mark's versatility is insane'. Everyone was so good that I couldn't pick favorites. It's perfect. Thanks to every staff, especially, P'aof!

it was amazing!!!

I really liked this series! The plot was interesting. When it comes to Mix and Earth - i will watch everything. I think there is a chemistry between them, even though this series didnt show many kisses, romantic stuff, etc. I was suprised when i watched the first episode; Wen was drunk and end up in a situation like this, so and Jim. It is a bit annoying to meet someone when you are drunk.
Honestly, the relationship between Li Ming and Heart captivated me the most. It was so pure. It was obvious that they will catch a romantic feelings to each other. Li Ming even learned the sign language and Heart`s disabillity wasnt a burden to him. He treated him like a normal person and that was enough for me to like this couple so much!
Everything goes well till Alan came in the picture. My feelings are mixed, by the way. On the other hand, i was sorry for Alan, maybe he really loved Wen so much that he couldn`t let him go. But Wen so many times told him that their relationship is over and they cant be more than friends. Alan shouldnt hurt himself, trying to make Wen fall in love with him again. I was sorry for Gaipa, too. He deserved all the love but from the right person. I hoped that he will meet Alan. Yes, they met each other but the circumstances was awfull. Episode 7 was really hard to watch. I cried so much because of Gaipa`s mother. It was so sad..
I`m glad because that series had a happy end. It will be amazing if we get a chance for second season. I really want to see Alan and Gaipa as a couple. And of course - to see Li Ming and Heart`s life in America.
I give 10/10 to this series, because i really enjoyed it.

A refreshing look at relationships and the realities of life with adult couples rather than students

NO-SPOILER REVIEW

Pros
- The story is a great and realistic representation of relationships, family, and the realities of life for adults. It's so great to not only have stories about students with school-level low stakes. This series shows you that everything isn't always sunshine and rainbows but people still have the strength to live their lives and find love.
- The acting is superb. The entire cast is very talented and this makes it easy to full immerse yourself in the story.
- The pacing is just right and keeps you interested from start to finish.
- The variety of couples keeps things fresh and interesting.
- There's great representation of the deaf community.

Cons
- There were a couple moments where it felt like some drama was introduced for the sake of having drama. Those couple moments felt a little bit forced and unrealistic.

Overall
- A wonderful series that represents the adult world in a realistic way. A must watch if you're bored of school-aged dramas.

The most beautiful Moonlight

Before I watch I already know that we are dealing with gold in the most pure form, the actors already prove how good they are and I know no one in GMM can touch them. In the whole series I feel like the song "Moonlight" by ariana was turning alive and transfigurate in a series. Seriously, you need to hear this songs is so related with this series. The story is amazing and how they create this was close to perfect, the soundtrack match so much, If they pay Ariana and put her song I can say this is perfect, but in general the soundtrack was good too. Not only the main role but the lead role too make a incredible job. I feel so full and happy that I don't know if I will rewatch but I really want more, I don't follow the live of the actors like a devoted fan but being honest they looks good, the personality are good, the personality too and all of them give so much in the acting that if GMM give then a trash role they can do a good job too, well if the "villain" conquest you easily and the end was so good, makes me smile so much.

Never seen anything like it befor in Thai BL

I must say I'm still in awe because of the series, I just finished it, and it left me happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I watched a show that will have a special place in my heart, and sad because it is already over.
If you're looking for a mature story that not only revolves around love between two people but also encompasses their daily life, struggles, accomplishments and failures, then this is the show for you. We have a portrayal of at least three different generations, different social status and ways to love or how to show that love. We are shown the beginning and end of relationships, what it means to grow up and to learn from one's mistakes and how to say sorry. It also puts you in the shoes of people who struggle because of the pandemic and its following economic crisis, which makes it even more realistic.
As I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I must say that I am beyond joyful with the grand portrayal of our members. It is shown through small details, gestures, and conversations that make me feel like I could sit down with some characters, and we would click automatically because we went through the same struggles or had the same hurtful thoughts.
Everyone involved in this masterpiece did a fantastic job. Every actor delivered their characters perfectly, so believable that I was glued to the screen and never once felt awkward. It was truly a pleasure watching this show. I cannot recommend it enough. I hope there will be more content like this in the future.

A series with a little bit of something for everyone.

This was absolutely beautiful. Words cannot describe how this series makes me feel. The realism, the characters, the music: everything was just done so perfectly. No character is perfect, but they all learn and grow together.

Every single character had their own traits that made them interesting and engaging. JimWen’s quiet and mundane relationship was so poetic yet messy, and I’m a sucker for their type of relationship (I’m also a massive sucker for EarthMix, they’re my favourite pairing). It was so refreshing to see such a mature storyline. HeartLiMing were adorable and stole my heart. Li Ming made me feel so seen, I relate to him so much. AlanGaipa had me kicking and squealing!

I can understand someone not enjoying this show due the lack of plot and flawed characters… It is a show that is definitely aimed towards more mature viewers, which can make JimWen’s story off putting for younger people but it was absolutely perfect to me and I highly recommend!

I can’t move on

To begin, i’m a big fan of EarthMix, i’m always falling for their alchemy, their acting and just.. them.

I had big expectations since A Tale Of Thousand Stars is one of my favorite bls and really meaningful to me and oh dear, i wasn’t disappointed at all.

Moonlight Chicken is not a drama that can make you dream with stars in your eyes, instead it tells you how reality can be, how sometimes you can’t find the solution you wanted to your problems, it teaches you a lot.
I enjoyed every seconds of it, all the characters had something to say, a lesson to teach. The acting was incredible for good sake, some scenes between Fourth and Earth were breathtaking. The production, the settings, they were all good and well thought. Everything was perfectly balanced, it’s the first time I can’t find a real flaw to something I watched.

I could talk about it for hours and go deep in details but I will stop here by saying : Moonlight Chicken is a must see, you can’t be disappointed.

Realistic, Love Heart & Li ming, watched series mainly for them

I had fewer expectations from the series because I find Earth Mix acting to be lacking in whatever I have watched from them. The main reason I watched the series is because I loved Gemini Fourth chemistry & acting in My School President.

I loved the overall story of the series and i liked the job done by the director and hence the good rating & review.
Acting side I loved almost everyone's acting except for the Main Leads. Gemini & Fourth as expected nailed it.
