If you want to watch "boys love" purely for romance, don't watch Moonlight Chicken!

It's not exactly a BL. Wait, hear me!

It is a boys love story, but their relationship it's just part of it, if you want to watch "boys love" purely for romance, don't watch Moonlight Chicken! When I said this, looks like I didn't like it, but it's the opposite. I love it.

Moonlight Chicken discusses social classes, directly. While this is not new in BLs, MLC has a way to discuss it that is very interesting, they do NOT romanticize being poor (thank God), but they don't make it like all the low classes life is sadness, and while they actually have a happy ending, it's realistic! Real life has happy and sad moments. And it's okay, is beautiful. The way that the series talks about being gay in Thailand is interesting too, bcs it's sensitive like everything in MLC.

The way that MLC talks about disabilities, with Heart (Gemini) being deaf is beautiful too, they were VERY respectful, they don't make Heart just a deaf person, he is a person, and he has a disability, and that's it. His thing with Li Ming (Fourth) it's SOMETHING, but I will talk about my favorite character later.

About Wen (Mix) and Jim (Earth), I love their development because it's, again, realistic. They have struggles and things to clear out before thinking about having something together.

But Li Ming it's definitely my favorite character, in the first moment he looks like a rebel teenager, typical, but he is actually suffering, struggling with his own things and problems. His relationship with his uncle Jim and his mom tells a lot about his manners too. He was also feeling so lonely if you think about it. And the way that his friendship (and later, more) develops with Heart is beautiful because he actually listens to Heart, who nobody in his life cares and he's so lonely. They are two very lonely people, and I'm glad that they found each other.

All the actors did a really GOOD job, everyone was amazing. The cast was PERFECT.

AND DAMN, the photography, it's incredible, the way that the lights talk about their feelings (theory of colors we love you) it's so ?$?!?4. MCL e ITSAY are the most beautiful BLs that exist, in these terms (but ITSAY wins).
