One thing that I strongly believe is that if you are making a piece media about disabled people your media in the bare minimum should be accessible to the people you are portraying. Is your TV show about a blind person? Cool. Does it have audio description? Or are you perhaps doing a tv show with a deaf main character. In this case, are you adding descriptive subtitles?
Of course I believe that this should be available in all types of media. But it specially sucks that medias portraying a population do not make this accessible for them.
#last twilight the series#moonlight chicken#also i do no understand the limitations in plataforms like YouTube that do not help#not nit picking this tv shows#that is my view on things because a lot of times i wanted to share a tv show with my cousin or dad#that they could relate too#but it was no accessible at all#if they do have it in thai just share it to spread the word

You Should Watch Moonlight Chicken
Welcome to my formal rec of this show, which has stolen my heart so completely over the last few weeks.
What is it?
Thai BL series from GMMTV which has just finished airing (as of March 2, 2023). The characters all revolve around a chicken rice diner called Moonlight Chicken. It's got eight episodes a little over an hour each.
Couples:
Jim and Wen:
The main characters and couple are Jim (left above) and Wen (right). They meet when Wen passes out drunk at Jim's restaurant one night and they end up talking and flirting and then going home for a "no strings attached" one night stand.
Afterwards Wen is determined to attach strings but Jim holds firm to his "no complications" rule. Wen starts working part time at the diner in a not-at-all-sneaky plot to win him over.
Heart and Li Ming:
The adorable teen couple of Jim's nephew Li Ming, who he is raising, and Heart, a boy who has been extremely isolated since becoming deaf three years ago. They quickly develop a friendship and learn to communicate and it's heartwarming and adorable right up until it deal with very real issues of ableism.
Other characters:
Alan
He's Wen's not-quite-or-maybe ex. It's complicated. The show might be just as much about Wen and Alan as Wen and Jim, but theirs is a breakup story.
Gaipa:
He's a young friend of Jim, with a massive crush on him. Unrequited love and his relationship with his amazing mom is his focus. Standout performance from the actor.
Saleng:
The token straight. I felt bad leaving him out, okay? He's a good boy.
Okay but what's it ABOUT?
Life. Love. Relationships. Growing up, healing, building community and family even in the face of adversity.
Could you elaborate?
Okay look, the way the plot of this show was sold was "One Night Stand leads to complications when one of them already has a boyfriend?!? Drama!" Which is downright misleading. I showed up for messy gay drama and got a profound piece of queer cinematic art about the struggles of modern life and love and relationships.
This is honestly not your typical BL series at all. It really does feel a lot more like serious drama, queer film, etc than what we are used to. (I'm not saying it's ALONE...just rare.) It feels like a director/creator coming into their own and really stretching their abilities.
The cinematography is gorgeous, creating a quiet and pensive mood throughout. The acting is remarkable, excellent across the board with some real stand-out performances from the "side" characters.
The plot flirts with melodrama/soap opera turns but it always comes down on the side of grounded, realistic takes. I'll just say there are some moments that really hit me because they reflect experiences I've had in my life so well.
This show is very Adult to me. And by that, I don't mean steamy or sexy. It's really not, despite the first episode. It's a very chaste show, all things considered. I mean Adult in terms of These are Problems Adults Have. Dealing with the ending of relationships, getting over past relationship trauma, dealing with grief and loss, figuring out what you want in life, having to be there for your ex because they need you and you still care, etc. Just life, sometimes messy and painful, but ultimately beautiful.
If you can't tell I could go on for a while. But honestly, even if you're not a BL watcher normally, I recommend you give this a try. It's a feel-good show that will make you cry.
Okay where do I watch it?
Good news! The show is available for free on YouTube in its entirety! Just look for the GMMTV official channel.
Content Warnings under the cut to avoid potential spoilers but they will remain vague
Having sex while under the influence of alcohol but fairly lucid, cheating as a topic, breakups, ableism and parental neglect as a result, death of a partner, death of a parent, motor vehicle accident aftermath, age gap relationship(s)

I just discovered Aof on IG and saw this…
… somewhere out there, there are people who possess Moonlight Chicken candles that he procured as gifts.
I…….I need this.
UPDATE: Holy shit, I bought it! Thanks, @midnight-sun16, for the heads-up!
#the IG translation of the description says it smells like the nighttime or something i’m not sure#so uhhhhh let’s just pretend it’s a khao man gai candle and we’ll leave it at that#moonlight chicken#shipping is a little pricey but the GMMTV store link makes international purchases INSANELY EASY#i wish japanese websites were as easy to use#get it together tv tokyo shop

A summary of Moonlight Chicken from Wen's POV:
Gong: One-night stands don't count if you don't make eye contact.
Wen, taking notes: Mm-hmm, right, okay, so extrapolating from this logic, how many intense direct eye contacts until marriage?

Me like 2 episodes ago: how are they going have Alan and Gaipa cross paths. Like it'd be a crime to have First and Khaotung in the same show and never have them interact but like, how?
Alan: hey Khun Gaipa could I get your number? For insurance documentation purposes and no other reason?
#i know this level of ''everyone knows everyone'' is standard for TV and literally just true to life for people who live in small cities#but i live in a very large city in the real world so i forget#moonlight chicken#alan#gaipa

sensitive tumblr audiences can sleep soundly knowing it's not cheating after all
#moonlight chicken#for the record i think it would've been fun if it were because i do not watch tv shows for role models i watch them for emotions#but it's also fun as is! good luck wen with explaining to jim just what exactly your situation is

Hi, here's a response to the ppl saying it was hard to take the generational gap seriously in MLC since Earth is much younger than his character is supposed to be: you are right but you're also wrong.
Internalized homophobia is not something that's specific to one generation. Anyone at any age can be a victim of it if their environment made it so. The only notable difference that comes with age is that the older you are the more chances of you taking to raising a child/ becoming an adult figure there are and thus more opportunities for you to subject said children to said internalized homophobia bc your world does not only revolve around yourself anymore. That is it. Now not only can you hurt yourself (we've all watched a billion coming of age stories), you can also hurt your loved ones too! Unlimited possibilities !! Yes internalized homophobia in a adult is ugly thank you for noticing <3
There are no two persons handling their queerness the same and once again being responsible for a child that is not yours when you know for a fact their parent, who's opinion matters to you, are still around to look down on you is a whole different field i'm sure most you do not have the experience of. So please sit down and take the time to think it through. Not to condone but understand. What's the point of witnessing a story if you don't let it pass you through ?
#yes i read two comments in a sea of positivity and got irrationally mad about it#that's what representation does to you i guess#if i'm gonna see myself on tv i better not hear a single criticism or i'll blow the entire place up <3#luckily it doesn't happen often 🙂#moonlight chicken

I'm not ready for Moonlight Chicken's last episode 😭
Also I'm sure that Heart will end up going to America with Li Ming.
I'm ready to cry my heart out tomorrow.

its so funny how moonlight chicken expected me to believe that earth was in his 40s, he wasnt even in his 30s at the time of filming i think 😭
#literally when he said 'as a 40 yr old man' or whatever i was like this man is not 40#and i googled him just to make sure 😭#also its so funny that mix and khaotung's characters were supposed to be significantly younger than jim#but they were both just 4 yrs younger than earth#this is like the opposite of american tv hiring 20 somethings to play high schoolers#moonlight chicken#vinnie talks

I'm enjoying the way Moonlight Chicken is trying to convince us that Mix is almost 30 and Earth is almost 40
#it's the opposite of what American tv shows do#trying to convince us that thirty somethings are teenagers#thequeenofsastiel liveblogs#moonlight chicken episode 4#moonlight chicken
