I actually feel bad for yeong beom because it’s not easy abandoning your family, even if you know they are wrong. In this whole process he not only lost the love of his life but his parents too.
Poor guy had nowhere to go, no one to love.
I feel like the parallels are not just about how gwan sik took a stand for ae sun without a second thought and on the other hand yeong beom was too late to.
It’s also about how even though geum myeong means everything to her parents, she is their “pride” and just as precious to them as yeong beom is to his mother and they gave up just as much to raise her (if not more).
Yet they literally NEVER mentioned it to her. They never made her feel like she owed them something for that. They made sure she lived unapologetically. Meanwhile yeong beom’s mom constantly reminded him that he owes his life to her.
As long as we have memories of them, our loved ones are always with us
I'm a simple bitch. i believe the purpose of government should be to improve the lives of its citizens and protect its most vulnerable members. unfortunately i live in a day and age where this gets me labeled an enemy of the state
When life gives you tangerines (2025) EP04
I love that wlgyt highlights that love is important, but a romantic partner is not the answer to everything, it's nice to have someone, but even the sweetest person in the world won't make your life a fairytale, and it's crazy to think that till this day some people still see marriage and parenthood as this magical thing that will fix everything, just to get disappointed because it's simply not realistic
Today's eps of Tangerines were, as always, excellent but what I want to talk about is the end of daughter's first love.
Because it's so realistic - the man himself is lovely but his family is awful and - what really hits here - is that the reason it all falls apart is because while he loves her, he cannot abandon his birth family, he cannot stand up to them and say that's it, either you respect my choice and her family or I leave - and then stick to it.
It puts GS' actions back in the 70s even more in the spotlight, doesn't it - his taking AS and leaving his family when his family did not treat her well; and it was a lot more fraught back then - not only because it was an even MORE conservative time and milieu but because they were all so much more poor that it was hazardous from a purely survival standpoint as well. AS said he was steel and she was right.
And I think that's the thing - the daughter's first love is not a bad person, he genuinely loved her, but it takes a certain amount of glorious insanity to abandon your whole life and family for a person you love and he was not capable of it. He loved her but not enough (just as she loved him but understandably not enough to let herself and her whole family be abused.) And if the pressures were less, it may not have mattered. But pressures were what they were and he broke.
I just found that so very realistic. I have known more than one situation like that in real life actually.

I don't care if no new shows come out for 2 years, the sheer amount of media that exists couldn't be watched in a million years. Go back and watch old movies and shows, YouTube videos, documentaries, read a book. Anyone acting like this writers strike is less important than their entertainment, you aren't a leftist or an ally to the working class, you're a spoiled bougie brat

- Moonlight Chicken End Notes -
So, I've just finished Moonlight Chicken, and it was a deep, mature bl series, where it conveyed a lot of realistic life messages. It was new and refreshing to witness such a bl storyline, which speaks for real people.
Below, I've addressed a few of the best things that I've enjoyed about this show.
1. JimWen Chemistry
It was my first exposure to an EarthMix series, so I was definitely excited. The chemistry of the actors was magnetic, and it didn't take a moment to give me butterflies. Wen is super seductive, and I enjoyed it. In the first episode, when they both hooked up, I was like, "Oh wow.. that's.. sexyy", I kept thinking these stuff. So, definitely I loved their chemistry very much in this show.
2. GeminiFourth Acting
Once again, it was my first time watching the acting of GemFourth. I haven't watched MSP, so - MLC is my first exposure. My God, I was in love with their storyline, acting and everything as a whole. I truly loved Fourth's acting range, he is a great actor for such a young age. The way he portrayed such a mature, sharp tongued minor in the story, it was really heart-melting as well as sweet. His slow friendship with heart, was the best part of the show, I'd say. Gemini did a splendid job, portraying the character of a deaf child.
They both had such a lovely rapport, chemistry - I kept looking for their moments in MLC the entire time. For me, these two held the greatest importance to me in the show. The beginning of their meeting with a conflict, that slowly led to understanding both of them, which further led to friendship and young love. The progress in their story was beautiful to witness. I felt so happy to see some specific moments of them, such as Heart's face lighting up when figured that the paper was slid under the door by Li Ming, or the moment when Li Ming first heard Heart speak.
3. The Character of Alan
Eventhough the story presented him in a negative light at first - personally I could vastly relate to Alan. Personally, I'd say he's someone with the most depth and complications. He shared a 5 years long relationship with Wen, which is never an easy thing to let go off. I deeply empathize with Alan, not because he was dumped by Wen, but because his story speaks realistically. It is devastating to be out of love, when the other person still wants to be with you. Eventhough their relationship was not tampered due to Jim's entry, it will still make Alan doubt whether it is something that he lacked, and Jim didn't. It is normal to have these thoughts, because I've been there in his shoes too.
Eventhough he reacted violently with Wen and Jim at the diner, I believe it was valid to acknowledge how frustrated and insecure he had been, when he is losing the love of his life to someone else, in front of his eyes. It's a hard pill to swallow. Later on, I'm relieved how Alan moved on from their relationship after Wen decided to have a clear cut conversation about them during their last barbeque meal. It was necessary, because if he didn't give Alan the closure he needed, he wouldn't have been able to move on, just like all these prior months. Alan is a great character, he is flawed, and speaks life. He didn't use his injuries to hold Wen back, instead he insisted on being left alone, because he knew the hope has subsided. I think that's a wonderful character implication.
5. Gaipa is a Positive Embodiment
If Alan showed the dark side of handling emotions, Gaipa portrayed true well-intent and kindness throughout the series. I really enjoyed Gaipa's character in the series. He was like a ray of sunshine that needed to be added in such a mature heavy series. His role was like a breath of fresh air, whenever he appeared, he either made me feel better, or simply broke my heart - when he got rejected by Jim or when he lost his mother. But I really loved how he handled himself calmly upfront others, eventhough he was tearing apart inside.
His relationship with his mother was also iconic, definitely one of the best moments of the series. It shows how loving and understanding a mother-son relationship should be. It filled my heart with happiness when his mom was completely okay with him being gay, and how she encouraged him to find a lover. Losing such a great mother in his life, has to be the most heartbreaking experience ever, and this show portrayed it so deeply.
6. The Satisfying Ending
The ending of Moonlight Chicken has to be the most satisfying one, eventhough I'd have loved to see Alan and Gaipa officially ending up together. But, I really enjoyed their initial blooming stage of liking each other, it seemed so sweet and refreshing at the end of the show. When Heart and Li Ming were dining together, along with Leng and Praew in the scene too, it seemed like all the lovey dovey couples are finally enjoying their moments with their partners. I loved that scene, and Wen was helping out Jim as usual.
We even got a sneak peak of how maturely Alan handled the situation when he was with Gaipa and Wen gave him water - the smile on his face spoke as if - he deeply appreciated what Wen and Alan once had, but now he has Gaipa, and he has finally moved on from him, to focus entirely on his new budding love. That scene was really symbolic and my eyes teared up at the collective happiness of the show couples.
I've really enjoyed the show, everyone's acting, performance, along with the cinematography was stunning and praiseworthy. Additionally, the cast was a dream team, including EarthMix, FirstKhao, and GeminiFourth. These three couples smoothly pulled off the entire show with their elegance and hardwork! Kudos to the director, and everyone else involved in the production of the series!
