Why Wen is the best adult on Moonlight Chicken
This show had four weeks to make its impact and boy did it! I will be the first to admit that when the show started I was verryyyy ready to hate Wen. The trailers and first few made very clear implications that were meant to be picked up by the audience. I was extremely happy that they subverted it. But i think even if they hadn't i would love Wen. It is some great complex character writing (and no, he doesn't have to be messy for him to be complex, fight me).
When we first see Wen we get a hint that he is not necessarily in the best place in life. He's still doing pretty well for himself, but he's looking for something. I will preface this by saying, Wen is still flawed. How he handled the situation with Alan left much to be desired.
Tumblr media
But the reason why I will stand by Wen is because he makes it a point to keep his mess separate from the rest of the characters as well as he can. Jim, Alan and Wen are the only ones who are even involved in their relationship drama, and that is by design.
Wen's interactions with Li Ming especially are proof to this. He has absolutely no reason to help this kid. But he did. And you cannot tell me he wouldn't adopt Li Ming and Heart in an instant even if Jim and Wen never got together.
My favourite choice about this is that it would have been sooooo easy to use Wen and Li Ming's interactions as a means to make him more attractive in Jim's eyes. But never once in the show did they do that (🥲 let me take this time again to thank P'Aof. Sir. You are everything 🤌🏼)
This moment

This was the exact moment I was like, yeah. He is gonna be the best mentor to Li Ming (and maybe Heart).
He is not afraid to ask for advice, but is smart enough to not take the advice at face value. He never pushed his drama onto anyone else. His relationship with Alan exists in isolation with his relationship to Jim (much to Alan's disappointment) but when push comes to shove he still chose to stay by Alan because he had no one else to take care of him at the time.
He gives Jim all the time he needs to adjust to Wen. He is nothing more than a gentle nudge in the "ik you were hurt, but find it in you to let me in" agenda. He understands that Jim needs that time and let's him set the pace.
He recognises Kaipa needs someone and for that someone to be Jim (credit where credit is due for Jim doing the same thing with Wen and Alan) and not once questioning his own security in that undefined space Wen and Jim are in.
Tumblr media
I will admit, i have a Mix bias. But it is impossible to disagree that this is probably the best role he's played to date. Both in acting and characterization. He is the most well realised character Mix has played.

I just love Wen okay 😭

Trying to figure out which of the two would angst harder: Alan after finding out his new crush used to be wildly in love with the man who 'stole' Wen from him, or Gaipa after finding out his new crush used to be wildly in love with the man who 'stole' Uncle Jim from him. Like, there's strong parallels at work here and an equally strong basis for angst. (Or, like, them being all 'are you just spending time with me so you can run into your (not-)ex?') If there was a season two, that's what I'd focus it on, lmao. (But there won't be and those two just get a happy ending. Which they deserve. I'm just saying.)

Gaipa being 18 discourse...drawing an ending line...
He is definitely 30(Year of Monkey)...cause Gaipa's mom must be 19 when she had him...and for Asian country early marriage and having kids early is pretty normal...so yeaa saleng is 32(Year of Horse)...and no way in hell Gaipa is same age as li ming cause Li Ming calles Gaipa "phi"...and Li Ming being a senior in high school makes him 18...soo yepp
BUT LIKE IMAGINE ALAN CALLING GAIPA ....PHI....I AM DOWN FOR IT SAFCSDGVD \>.</

I'm that person with the unpopular fandom opinion with no reason besides vibes : gaipa is at most 25, at least 22.
i rest my case, your honour.

tbh I think they just messed up with ages a little bit, and gaipa is not 18 nor is he 30 We know that Wen is 'almost 30', and Saleng calls him P'Wen, so Saleng must be at least a little younger. And Gaipa is two years younger than Saleng, but still much older than Li Ming, because he already has his bachelors degree.
So he has to be in his early-to-mid twenties at the very least, but he is still at least two or three years younger than Wen, so...

Moonlight Chicken: Chinese Zodiac ↣ People born in the Year of the Monkey are born to have brilliant minds. They are intelligent and always appreciated by teachers and parents, and they tend to be excellent leaders. They show initiative and hold the courage to face new challenges. They are helpful and humorous and tend to be well-liked. A tendency to boast can hinder them and they typically need to really try to be more patient.

one of my favourite scenes in moonlight chicken is the funeral, when gaipa turns back towards his mum's photo to say, "mommy, I'm going to sing you this song right now."
just that tremble in his voice when he says "mommy", it puts all of gaipa's character & his relationship with his mother out there for the world to see, even though in this very exact timing of the scene, we cannot see khao's face at all.
now that, is good acting. my boy deserved that award.

'Alan finding out Gaipa used to like Jim is so much angst potential and -' yeah yeah, you know what else it is? Hilarious. Imagine Alan, The Ultimate #Girlfail Husband, and his reaction to finding out that Jim REJECTED Gaipa. He'd be like 'are you insane??? What is wrong with you? Who - why would anyone reject Gaipa. Ever. I - hello??'
And tbh he's so right for that

“I’m sorry Gaipa.” Jim
Moonlight Chicken, episode 6
I knew it was coming but it still hit me hard 😥
😭 ooffffff…you can see the minuscule change in Gaipa’s face with the rejection and how hard he tries to hold back his tears and trying to project his cheerful face
😭😓….someone, give Gaipa a hug! 🫂
