JimWen and all their kids (real)

"Love has no gender. Gender has nothing to do with successful or unsuccessful relationship"

— Moonlight Chicken ep. 3

[dear-someone-letterstomyself]

Moonlight Chicken is really making me miss the days of long, drawn out 25 episode seasons of tv… like… hear me out: in a 25 episode season you had loooong arcs, you had A plots, B plots and C plots, sometimes you had one off guest appearances (and then surprise reappearances of those guests later!) you had silly one off stories that only took an episode to tell, you had building tension that took 12 episodes to come to fruition. You had unlikely pairings that often made for amazing character development… and then you had (my personal favourite) bottle episodes. Where you’re essentially creating a televised stage play for a moment, because the characters are trapped in a limited space and can do almost nothing but just talk to each other.

Please just like.. take a moment to imagine how vibrant and fleshed out Lung Jim’s world would become in a 25 episode season? How deliciously drama filled the conflict would become between him Wen and Alan and even Gaipa?

What if we didn’t actually see Alan interact with anyone until the midseason finale… what if we only got flashbacks and back story, building up to him finally being on screen? The way P’Aof did it in 3 episodes was a gut punch… imagine it in 12… 100s dead. No survivors.

Perhaps there would be a black out during a storm and because of this Gaipa and Gong end up holed up in the same shelter but by coincidence waiting for the storm to pass?

Maybe Heart and Li Ming go on a camping trip, supervised by Leng who just needs a break from life... and that same storm has rolled in and suddenly these 3 kids could be in real danger!

Gaipas mom and some of the other market vendors could have a really intense lawn bowling league and the tension is high in the market for one episode as they battle it out to see who gets the rights to the best stall location in the market!

What if a new market vendor shows up and creates some stiff competition for Gaipa and his mom? Oh yeah, and the vendor is played by Off Jumpol.

Or all the women in the community come together when they find out Praew is pregnant and hold her a communal baby shower! (Am I just ripping off plots from Schitts creek now? Whoops)

And then always in the background, the B plot which would become the A plot in the back half is the impending destruction of the community and building of the food court…

Listen maybe this whole ramble makes no sense.. I’m just saying… the story that is being told in Moonlight chicken is vibrant and beautiful and they are doing an wonderful job and making it concise and engaging… but I miss the days of meandering plots and slow builds… of getting moments with every character and seeing them interact with characters they usually wouldn’t and what I miss most is the completely goofy situations that arise for just an episode or 2 but don’t impact the actual story…
