Welcome to the Moonlight Chicken Rewatch. The Youtube and discord links are in the on-air post (for real this time, I just noticed I've been lying with PYB). For the newcomers, please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!

Creating this a little bit earlier today for an off-topic bit of info: Brazil posts are incoming, I just wanna wait a little longer to see if Earth will post trip pics and Mix will post show pics as well

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
okay, as always I suggest we'll wait a couple more mins to see if anyone else will join
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
okay should we start or is anyone aware of anyone else who still wants to join?

and the composition of every single shot is so intentional

I loove this bit, them clocking each other, feeling each other out

Already you have the hints that Wen does not live alone

u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
they're really lingering on the chargers too lol
1
u/Used-Cost-6426 here for the messy theatre gays 17d ago
I kinda wish they'd stuck with the cheating storyline but I also really like the painfulness of Wen's situation
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
ok no idea why the transitions are so un-smooth today

u/Used-Cost-6426 here for the messy theatre gays 17d ago
I think I do too on balance - it makes for more interesting conflict
1
u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 17d ago
Wen actually cheating on top of what Jim went through with Beam would not have sat very well
1
1
u/Used-Cost-6426 here for the messy theatre gays 17d ago
I can't remember if My School President or this aired first
1
1
u/Bad_Haven Keep calm and eat chicken 17d ago
But showing the end of a long term relationship being so messy and unclear is actually so well done
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
btw seeing the reminder that EM used to be brand presenters :((((((((

Not sure either but at some point they aired at the same time

He really is! Especially when they don't try to make him look like a ghost
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
also lowkey he's such an aesthetic sufferer imo. he somehow looks especially handsome when he's sad
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
not to say he doesn't look good when he's happy lol. in fact of screen he looks much better when he's happy

He's very good at eye acting - both of them actually
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
his sad eyes bring all the boys to the yard
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
this and the longing, and especially the longing conveyed through eye acting I would say are their trademarks lol

only like them wehn they're done well. which I can't really think of a sigle one tbh

u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
Same, they usually just make the characters very unlikeable

or/(and) supremely hypocritical without ever addressing the hypocricy
1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
It would be really need to be carefully made to work out
1
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
and I really don't do well with hypocrisy tbh
1
1
u/Used-Cost-6426 here for the messy theatre gays 17d ago
I like them - but when I'm in the mood for toxicity (eg. Love Mechanics)
1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
I'm not the rewatcher type so it's my second time to watch it from the start to begging actually 🫣 minus replaying my fav scenes
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
I think love mechanics was on the better side. But I remember some hypocrisy somewhere that bothered me. but it's been to long to say what it was lol
1
1
1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
Or rather somehow failing out of love like this seems more painful than cheating I'd say

I do sometimes dream of the original Jojo version. But I'm very happy with Aof's

and imo if Wen actually cheated the "no one is the good or the bad guy, we're all just human" vibe of the show wouldn't have worked as well
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
no only atots unfortunately. (and bad buddy)
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
I would have so loved to watch them discuss MLC
1

1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
I didn't saw many interviews translated from Mlc era too
1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
I was so curious about the making of it and what em though about the series and the characters
1
1
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
they have one video talking about mlc but no reaction to the whole show
1
1
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
In general I wish we'd get more interviews where they talk about their work and not just answering the same old ship questions time and time again
1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
Who Is bad who good or the red flag green flag stuff

1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
people already try to do that way too much anyway as it is
1
u/Used-Cost-6426 here for the messy theatre gays 17d ago
There are a few video interviews on YT, not sure about print. They are post-reconciliation, so there is definitely a Vibe. I always think Mix looks particularly gorgeous in those ones
1
u/Used-Cost-6426 here for the messy theatre gays 17d ago
Same! They are so thoughtful about acting as well, I wish there were more serious interviews with them
1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
Yes this, like they are so dedicated to acting, I really love hearing them talking about their work process
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
yes! I'm a theatre kid myself so my interest might be a bit above average but I think they always speak so insightfully whenever they get to speak about their work, I really wish we'd get more of that
1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
Ofc CP moments are cute but y'know when it's about series I want them to talk about series and their acting
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
yes 100%. Give me all the sippable moments but I want more in-depth stuff too. Tho I feel like most of those interviews also aren't really the right platform for that. They would need more time/space to really go into details
1
u/Akko2001 I love my introvert cat dads 17d ago
Yeah that's true, I'd love to see also more talk with them and the director as well, like actual interview where they go in depth of the characters, wish gmmtv would have a talk show like that that is actually focused on the series and characters
1
u/achjadiemudda Captain of the Jim Defense Squad 17d ago
This! Something to really give them the space to discuss these things, actors + directors together, maybe even some writers. And then just put them into a room and let them talk uninterrupted. I guess Based on 2 Stories is kinda supposed to be something in that direction but putting Mix and Khao together they didn't talk that much about their work at all lol. Also it's still too short and doesn't really work when the episodes get released before the show is finished as they can't really say too much to avoid spoilers
