I’m a pescatarian but I still ate that Moonlight Chicken up
Production/Cinematogrpahy:
HOLY the cinematography in this was breathtaking. The use of warm vs cool lighting set the mood of every scene so well. I loved the focus of every shot, it was so carefully thought out and executed. Production was near, if not, perfection. Loved to see everything so thoughtfully put together.
Acting:
The casting was entirely perfection. Every. Last. One of these characters who played by who they were meant to be played by. I was absolutely blown away by every single actor/actress in this show with no exceptions. This is my first time seeing Earth and Mix in a drama together and they were fantastic in their roles. However, I gotta glaze the shit out of my boys Gemini and Fourth because god DAMN I can’t with you guys. I was afraid I would have a tough time after My School President but from the moment they were on screen they became their character and once again blew me away with their talent. Every emotion was portrayed realistically and beautifully. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO.
Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:
Chemistry was clear as day between all of the couples. This is a realistic romance story so it’s less about the romance as it is about personal growth alongside another person because falling in and out of love is only one aspect of day-to-day living. That being said, it of course works well as a romance story. The kissing was on point for both couples, tender and cute.
Side Couple:
Oh my oh my oh my I can’t with Heart and Li Ming they have my heart and soul. I can’t speak for how accurate and well done the representation was for the deaf community, however I can say that I ate that shit up it was so heartwarming. In a series where the MC is constantly getting on your nerves and the ML is also making some choice decisions (or lack thereof) the story really benefitted from having Heart and Li Ming’s relationship. This wouldn’t be nearly as good of a story without them. I only wish we got to see them go off on a plane together hand-in-hand.
NC Scene:
That opening scene really set a mood that I wasn’t expecting. Love a good sensual little intimate scene that feels real and not overly orchestrated. Really beautiful work.
Music/SFX:
Music was lovely and fitting. Really helped in setting the mood of a scene. SFX were great, nothing stood out as off in any way.
I was afraid after watching My School President (which I gave a perfect 10) that I was going to be let down by the next series I saw, but I had no reason to worry because this was masterfully done.
Now, for some highlights from my notes:
- Okay lighting in that streeeeet, I see you
- Prolonged eye contact, PROLONGED EYE CONTACT, prolonged eye contact, PROLONGED EYE CONTACT
- *You’re as cold as ice. You’re willing to sacrifice our love*
- Uncle going through it, Li Ming going through it, Heart going through it
- ALMOST 40?? The actor is 29???
- Not the shop owner x the guy whose job involves demolishing the shop…
- Bitches love a non-deaf x deaf pairing (I’m bitches)
- Bitches also love a Gemini and Fourth onscreen couple (once again, I’m bitches)
- Is that a tragic gay backstory I smell?
- Oh of course we have a bisexual cheater in a bl what a shocker… Stop demonizing my people
- Getting ahead of myself here and imagining what it would be like for Heart to lose the one person he has in the small world he’s been locked in for years if Li Ming leaves to go abroad. Got me shedding tears over here. My heart hurts if my Heart hurts.
- How is any of this your business, Alan?
- Gong a 10/10
- Is that my boy Ford?? Ford in the house??? Sing it bb
- It’s like that scene from the Bratz: The Movie (2007) cute
- Are we travelling abroad TOGETHER???? Please in the name of all things good and gay let this be thine truth
- Tragic gay backstory 2.0?
- Supportive older brother Wen smiling at the budding relationship between Heart and Li Ming has my heart in a chokehold
- Uncle’s been on my nerves for so long I get that you want to see this through and love him but like damn Wen… He’s kind of an ass and not in like a fun way
- *Presses play on Joji’s Slow Dancing In the Dark*
- Oooh that double meaning “don’t rekindle the fire, we’re done” oooh I like that shit I like that
- He saved every note… Heart… My love…
- Well fuck, that gay backstory was in fact tragic
- Oh Kaipa you sweet summer child you’ll find someone so much better for you I promise
- You can really tell the cat owners to the non-cat owners in this cast by the way these bitches hold that cat lmao
- Bottom tier guardians right here in this house. Jimbo probably did a better job raising that kid than ya’ll
- Once again a drama takes another mother
- Is that.. Is that.. Character growth? From Unc? Check the skies for pigs, bro.
- God DAMN Lookwa always looking fine I swear
- Oh my GOD my HEART these boys are so CUTE you go to Rochester and learn/work and love to your hearts content my little loves
- Lmao the ex-boyfriend of ML x guy who was in an unrequited love with MC situation is truly gay representation
