I think something I love about Moonlight Chicken is that you get three different generations of LGBTQ characters sharing the same space and you can see, through the subtleties of their interactions and their outlooks, the events and perspectives that have shaped them and how much (and how little) the world has changed.
You have Jim, nearing 40 and clearly shaped by countless people (including his loved ones) not welcoming who he is and who he loves and who believed, to a certain extent, that it was "normal" for people to think that way, who accepts himself but still has difficulty with what it means to be gay in the wider world.
Then you have Wen, 10 years younger and proud and open and comfortable with who he is and his place in the world. He knows all the lingo, he seems like a little bit of an activist (if his taste in decor is to be believed) and he's used to having discussions around sexuality and social norms.
Finally, Li Ming, even younger still and so comfortable in himself that he doesn't particularly feel the need to explore or explain his sexuality and his attraction to Heart, he just embraces it as another part of what makes him him and leaves the nail biting and the questions to other people.
They literally show us the transition from "being LGBTQ is something I must live with" to "being LGBTQ is something I must fight for" to, finally "being LGBTQ is one of the many bits that is me" without ever saying it out loud.
It's genuinely such a beautiful piece of commentary and, in my eyes, it makes the show even more meaningful and beautiful.

The Old Men of BLs
This might be a cultural thing but I can NEVER get over men who are like 29-35 being treated like decrepit and ancient beings in Thai BL series😂😂💀
Uncle Jim in Moonlight Chicken and now Uncle Alan in Pit Babe. And somehow both seem to be having money problems while taking care of their found families💀
Being called uncle is just about respect, but the way they’re shown to be a bit out of touch with the youth never fails to make me cackle. Mainly because they’re like 5 or so years older than other characters in their shows.
One things for sure I’d fuck the sh- *screen cracks and fades to black*
