Finally caught up with your reactions. I'm a few episodes ahead now and really enjoying the series.
The kiss scene was shot so beautifully and it looked so tender between the two. You can see and feel how overwhelmed Pharm is at first and then how he starts to really respond to the kiss was so beautiful. Also, he's so adorable hiding behind the curtains just before. You really want to protect this character, he's just so precious.
The scene afterwards was so cute too with Pharm hiding under Dean's jacket, and the way they both acted shy too.
The show confused me a bit at first with the back and forth from the past lives and then the present lives but overall, it's very enjoyable. I like the slow burn, it's actually one of my favourite trope when it's done well.
In the previous episode, we got introduced to Sin (older guy with long hair and glasses) and I just can't get over the fact that he looks so like Eiji from Banana Fish post timeskip in Garden of light 😭
Among familiar faces, I was so happy to recognise Perth who plays In's best friend in the past. He recently joined GMM company and he's been in a few series I watched, also he will have his own BL series with Chimon (Andrew in Blacklist) later this year and be in another series alongside Ohm (Pat, Highlight in Blacklist) also later this year.
I absolutely 100% recommend Moonlight Chicken. The atmosphere in the series is unique and the way it's filmed is so beautiful. The cast is top tier : Earth and Mixx (Chief and Tian in 1000 stars), their character are so different and more complex too. Among the cast are really talented actors, some you already know like First (Yok, Jim Bae) and Khaotung (you saw him in 1000 stars). There's also the two young actors from My School President, Fourth and Gemini, who once again are so good acting together but also in individual scenes. And the series was directed by P'Aof (Bad Buddy, 1000 stars).
And the series is short, only 8 episodes. 4 have aired so far. If you decide to watch, I suggest not watching the trailer to truly experience the story. It is definitely a more mature story outside of school and it also feels slice of life too. I enjoyed the 4 first episode a lot, rewatched them twice already, it is just so good.
As for My School President, it's become one of my favourite series in so little time. It's such a good high-school romance and as I said for Moonlight Chicken, Fourth and Gemini are such good actors and their chemistry feels so natural. The rest of the cast is great too, love the group of friends and the music each episode is great too because the series revolves around the music club so we got a new song each episodes (cover and original songs). The last episode is next week so if you decide to watch it, try to stay away from spoilers 😉
And they will also have extra episodes in Our Skyy 2.

All the members of Dean's booth who went to talk to Pharm in the open house event were known actors from other BLs who belonged to the same production company. The whole scene was like a cameo feast for BL fans.
The kiss is very beautiful, and I love the extreme genttleness of Dean's hands whenever he touches Pharm. Visually it feels amazing.
The scene of the restaurant is between my favourites in the whole show. The threads conversation is so casually brought up, so unexpectedly. And then you just get immersed in Dean and Pharm's stares when things start clicking in their brains.
Fantastic reaction, thank you so much!! Btw, how should I call you? AniCrunch? Ani? Some other name?
