This is a remake of a hit show that's been loved for a long time and remade before. Gmmtv is trying to make money, so they're not taking a chance. Giving this to EarthMix shows that GMMTV trusts them to pull this off.
And it is SUCH a departure from moonlight chicken. They're really letting EarthMix (particularly Earth) show their range. Drama to comedy.
But honestly? These roles actually feel SO CLOSE to who they are in real life lol. Earth seems so fucking chaotic on EMS and a lot of BTS clips. In fact, when I first started watching EMS, I was so shocked at how different Earth was from Phupha and Uncle Jim lol
As for Mix, his first 2 roles, he was always being taken care of. In moonlight chicken, EarthMix roles were a little more equal. Jim helped wen, but wen also helped him a LOT. but in ossan, it seems like Mo is the responsible one (while heng is a total disaster).
Which somewhat mirrors real life! Earth always talks about how he has to take care of Mix, but recently has started acknowledging that Mix can now take care of him too
Tbh I think Earth is an unreliable narrator on this lol. One of the incidents that made them closer was mix taking care of Earth when he got too drunk lol. So like... Pretty sure mix could take care of you since a long time ago
They really do just live together in two houses lol
Married behavior
In the QTs, people are saying this was Dec 22-Jan 23. So like... After the divorce era but before the Hong Kong fanmeet where Earth got sick and Mix had to nurse him back to health
I truly think this was a time period where their relationship changed and grew a lot
These BTS moments show a glimpse at how they act without cameras around
As a new fan, I always thought Earth seems a little more distant than Mix, who truly doesn't seem to give a fuck lol. He'll cuddle anyone he wants to on camera
So it's nice to see moments where Earth is just as clingy lol
Gay GMMTV manager telling his gay friends about Earth and Mix: Yeah, they're kinda gay lol
I really try to remain grounded in reality, but Jack literally works with them and even he's like....yeah, idk sometimes I look over and they're sitting in each other's laps. I would've recorded their gayness but that's rude, so here's some gay BTS footage instead.
I understand that shipping can be really toxic, especially with real life people. But let's not act like there's ZERO chance that some of these actors are gay. And if straight people can fall in love with their co-stars, then why can't the gay ones?
We can't say for certain either way. The one thing that's clear though is that they really love each other and want to continue their partnership and relationship
Half of Earth and Mix scene is just intense eye contact lol they could've been doing anything, just as long as they stare at each other
I also feel like at the end of the scene, they weren't supposed to smile like that. But they broke character bc they got giggly and the director was like "eh, good chemistry. Fuck it, keep that in"
