Who is German? And Hedwig and the Angry Inch isn't a German story at all. They weren't even able to find real German actors in the movie for the mother and the child.

I have an advice for people who say Jae Won was cruel, and there is no excuse for his behavior:
Don't watch To My Star 2. Never ever. Don't do it. Nope. It's much worse, lol.

"If she dies in the waves, JW won't care, so in his eyes she makes the perfect partner."
I laughed way too hard at this.

Honestly, there are people out there who make their own life miserable for no good reason. Jae Won at least has a reason. I'm not a fan of this trauma story, but at least it is believable. He is afraid that people who get close to him and who he cares about die.

I'm annoyed by the toxic-girlfriend-trope, but I'm well aware that this is indeed a thing in real life. Women can be very manipulative.

Not a fan of Ae Ri. Even Ji Hyun tried to get away from her at the beginning, lol. How she took pictures of their food, and asked him to take picture of her while holding the food ... well.
At that moment I just thought: Jae Won wouldn't behave like this. So better be with him.

I agree on Tae Hyung. The guy is terrible. So jealous. Do something with your life, and don't whine about how others have it easier (especially when that's not even true).

"also one of the main characters is not redeemable after ep 8 for me"
Then never watch To My Star 2. There we had a not redeemable character!
In this series at least the trauma is pretty real and understandable. He is even going to therapy. It's believable. I just find it cliche, to be honest.

Lol, in the recommendations is Eternal Summer, one of the very first Asian gay movies I ever watched. Back then No Regret and Love of Siam came out too. I feel old ...

Lol, it was the same with To My Star 2. People were discussing like crazy. I'm out this time. I'm not as invested in the actors and the characters.

And both made the same mistakes: they pushed the drama too far.

I'm not sure about this series. I started watching it out of boredom and curiosity, because some people were praising it. I felt in love instantly, because I liked the atmosphere, the filming, the acting, that slice-of-life feeling, just two guys falling love, their friends, their social circle, family problems whatever. But the evil-girlfriend-trope is annoying, and now the drama is kicking in with the obvious misunderstandings. I had preferred it as a light hearted everyday romance story with two people meeting and falling in love and that's it. Talking about the women in this series: They are extremely evil or annoying with the exeption of that senior who is supposed to be a lesbian. I mean, they really made it look like "women are annoying ans superficial, that's why it's better to date a guy".

I forgot about the spheres duplicating, but that makes no sense either. What kind of biological response is that supposed to be? And those things seem biological after all ... or synthetical ... or ... energetical ... ugh. But then you could argue in their closed up state they aren't sensitive to cold either. When everything is so unbelievable and you have to find hundred million excuses why they couldn't fight back better ... it's just strange.

I had with both series you mentioned my issues, but they were much, much, much better. Especially Sweet Home was insanely good after a rocky start.

Honestly, the arguments are always
1) they are young
2) you paralize in situations of fear
I don't buy it. I would have run away as far and fast as I could. Seek shelter. Do something. Those creatures don't like cold, but nobody bothers to share that information. Nobody has a plan to kill those things. They are just shooting at them - that's the plan. Unbelievable. And why not shooting them while they are still in the sky? With all the artillery humans have? It seems bullets are burning and desolving them in thin air. So shoot those things down, one after another, and fine.

Save you the trouble and don't watch any further. It gets worse.

Sorry, but this series is pretty dumb. The humor doesn't work for me, the characters have no personality, and they are hard to tell apart because of that. The whole premise makes no sense why those students have to remain in school and weren't just evacuated. How they react is very unbelievable when they witness the violence and deaths. They don't run, they just look and scream and are helpless. Yes, they are young. But what do you do in such tense situation is not only about age. They were even trained, and in the training they behaved like little children like everything is a big joke. I would have taken my military service more serious even at that age. No survival instinct is kicking in here. I'm currently at ep 3, and those two boys playing with the alien creature while having the dumbest smile on their faces was the reason I'm writing this comment, lol. Unbelievable.

I don't know about this series. It's the very first BL series I would call "mature". Not like KinnPorsche with characters who behaved illogical and childish, but since there was lots of sex and violence it classified as "mature". Moonlight Chicken is very character driven, which is great. It's about love and life and the choices you make and the hardhips you have to face. But, yeah BUT: honestly speaking, I only was interested in the Alan character, mostly because of First's great performance, and the Li Ming character, also mostly because of Fourth's performance but also because he was very believable as a teenager who struggles to find his way in life. All the others ... sigh. I dislike Wen. I dislike him a lot. But I thought Mix acting was great. It's the character I can't stand. I don't hate Uncle Jim, but it's not the kind of guy I would like to hang out with. Heart was cute and all, but there was not much more about him. I'm not sure if it was the acting or just the character. They didn't give Gemini much to work with. Or was it because he was deaf? Don't get me wrong, the performance wasn't bad. I just don't know much about his personality. And Gaipa ... Khaotung overdid it. I loved the emotional scenes in The Eclipse, but in Moonlight Chicken I found his performance borderline cheesy. He is also a character who is mostly good at heart, but not really interesting.
So bottomline: not very likeable characters that touch you deeply and you want to root for them, sorry. But maybe I wasn't in the right mood to watch this. The storytelling was pretty good though. I think this was better than My School President. Here at least they managed to keep the viewer interested until the end.
But yeah, I'm not in love with this series. And I sure won't ever fall in love with Mix and Earth. Mix had better chemistry with First.

"Isn't it difficult enough to be born poor?"
Please stop. I have a hard time to like Uncle Jim even without the contant whining. And that dreadful looking kitchen: just paint the damn walls and spray the pipes. I was poor too, and maybe I still am. But never ever I complaint about it.

I would never want to live in a liberal place with a gay kid. At the end of the day he thinks he is a victim, or worse he thinks he is a girl. Months later he is on hormones, years later he is butchered and castrated.
I would raise a gay kid in a conservative place that's for sure. To not have it so easy in life can be beneficial for your personality. The liberals lost their minds, especially in the US.

I like Mix's acting even though I don't like the character he plays.

Yeah, it tried to be smarter than it was. But Khaotung was great in it. First's character was rather annoying.

Yeah, I feel they will go down the 2gether high five route.
