The Story Behind the Moon 🌙 | Moonshadow EP 4 Reaction

I would’ve given in the moment Jay (Film) said that “No, please” in English. I thought I was strong but the moment that came out I was done for. The fact that it is Film playing Jay makes it so much harder to not fold. If it was someone else playing Jay, I probably could have held out longer.

Episode 4 „Nightmare Moon“ starts by earning its title with another flashback, where Key found her mother dead in a bathtub at home, apparently having committed suicide. Key wakes up to a nightmare of this in Chan’s arms crying, with Chan trying to console her. After the credits, it’s the next morning, and Key is back to her flirty self, providing Chan with breakfast and kissing a strawberry. Chan wants her to stop acting like nothing happened the night before, but Key claims it was just a bad dream, like everyone has from time to time. Chan finds her stubborn, but Key wants a kiss from her, before “admitting” that she dreamt of Chan dumping her, so she got scared, because she loves her so much. Chan suspects that wasn’t the dream, but Key insists that it was, and deflects by making breakfast for Simba. Then, Peach is having a photo shoot with Sun, who is distracted; Peach ultimately pauses the photo shoot and Sun is sorry that she can’t concentrate that day, but Peach claims they all have those days. Key arrives and Sun learns that Peach and Key are sisters. Sun claims it’s a small word and Key agrees, then Sun wants to talk because something is bothering her – about Jay: she will be abroad for one month and wants Key to take care of her sister in her absence. Key claims that she already met Jay as she barged into Chan’s room with Sun surprised that she still got the keycard and promising to tell Chan to change the lock, otherwise she would never leave her alone. Key claims that she doubts Chan will soften and take her back that easily as she seems guarded and cold, but Sun argues that they never know and that in the end, Chan always gives in to her, claiming “the brat” is always an exception for Chan. She argues that Jay is the type who always gets what she wants, no matter what it takes, and she doesn’t want to see Chan get hurt again. Key wants to know what kind of person is Jay. Chan gets into her office to find a bouquet of tulips there left by Jay with a note “for my moon.” Chan is surprised that Jay still knows her favorite flower, as she gets a message from Key asking her to watch her sing that night at the hotel bar. With Chan replying she will think about it, the claiming with she’s free, she will go. At night, Key is talking to a bandmate as Chan arrives; Key claims she really came to see her and Chan pretends that she wants to check if she working hard. Key wants her to chose a song she wants to hear, and after some insisting, she chooses the song that Key was playing a her balcony the other day, so Key plays “Your One” for her, claiming it’s a special song that she wrote for someone important to her. As Key is singing the song, Jay comes in and gets to join Chan for a drink. She grabs her arm, but Chan frees herself from that grab as Key is watching. Chan asks Jay what she wants, and Jay asks if she got her flowers, with Chan replying that she told her secretary not to accept anything from her again and Jay claiming that she will give it directly to her the next time. Chan claims that she still is as self-centered as ever, but Jay just claims that back then, they often listened to music together and had wine while listening to it. Chan claims that it was just the past and wants her to stop talking about the old days, claiming that it won’t work on her. Jay then wants to know if she is just sleeping with Key or if she thinking of getting serious with her. She gets close and touches her face claiming she told her she didn’t like dating someone younger, and that she liked dating someone of the same age like Jay. Key comes over taking Jay’s hand away from Chan, claiming that it looks like Chan is uncomfortable with Jay touching her. Jay claims that she thought Key would avoid her after watching her disappear from stage after her gig, but Key claims she just got changed and apologizes to Chan for changing out of the outfit that she bought for her. Jay claims that she guesses that Key needs to put effort into her outfits, or Chan will get bored with her, but Key claims she never seems to get bored of her. Jay then wants to officially introduce herself as Jay, Chan’s ex-girlfriend, but Key doesn’t shake her hand as she just claims she is Key. Jay claims that Chan can sleep around or date someone to kill time, and tells Key to take good care of her Chan as they leave, with Key asking her not to worry. Chan wants to take Jay back to her condo as she has something to think about and Key claims it’s about Jay. Chan claims that Key doesn’t need to pay attention to it, but Key claims how can she not pay attention to it, if it’s about Chan, arguing that paying attention to things involving her is her job. She caresses her hand as she claims whoever makes her feel bad or uncomfortable, she will take care of them herself, arguing she will not let anyone hurt her or make her sad. She promises to be her safe zone as she kisses her hand. Chan claims she can also be a good girl, not just a stubborn one. Key claims she can be stubborn sometimes, so Chan may want to pinch her cheeks. Chan pinches her cheeks again with Key claiming that she does it so often that they are almost bruised, and Chan claiming it’s her fault for making her want to do it in the first place. Key claims that she has done a lot for her, but Chan still doesn’t want her to sleep over at her place, and argues that she is sulking with her now. Chan tells her to stop sulking, arguing that Key is her sugar baby and has to do what she tells her to, but Key wants to spend the night with her. The next day, Key and Chan are sitting in Chan’s office with Key strumming the guitar as Chan is working. Key asks the she is bothering her, and Chan replies by asking her if she will leave when she says yes, arguing that she can spend time comfortably at her home and she doesn’t get why she wants to follow her there. Key argues that she came her to take care of her, as her – but Chan stops her from saying “sugar baby” again, claiming that Key can do whatever she wants. Key walks over to her and starts unbuttoning her jacket, claiming that it’s quite exciting to do it there. Key gets close to her and claims to be doing whatever she wants, but Chan claims that it’s her office while Key is kissing her face as the phone rings. It’s Jay, and we don’t hear the call, but next we see Jay getting ready for a visitor as someone rings at her door – it’s Key who brought her the mineral water bottles she ordered directly from Chan instead of calling the room service, so she suddenly feels eager to help her. She tells Jay that Chan told her staff to arrange the water for her every morning. Jay wants her to put it where she will use it and tells her to follow her into the bathroom, Key claims it’s no problem, then is surprised that Jay wants to rinse her mouth with it after brushing her teeth, but she claims she always does it to hydrate, asking her if Chan has never told her this, as she is that one who taught her, she claims. Key claims that she hasn’t and argues she won’t follow the instruction either. Jan then correctly guesses that Chan set the no-kiss rule with Key, claiming that it means that Key and Chan are not of the stage where she needs to be worried. Key just leaves frustrated, but Jay follows her asking if she think she can be Chan’s girlfriend, arguing that all she can be is her sugar baby. Key admits that she’s just her sugar baby, but she will never hurt her. After that exchange, Key is sulking as she goes with Chan though a hallway, who asks her to stop sulking, but Key asks her what she has do to so she will like her. Chan clams that Key is acting like a child again and tells her if she’s going to act unreasonably like this, she should go back to her condo to sleep there that night. Key argues that Chan can scold her or act coldly towards her, but asks her to not chase her away like an animal, she’s a human. Chan argues that this isn’t her fault, and Key agrees that it’s her own fault and will sleep at her condo that night, asking Chan to take care of Simba as she leaves. Jay runs into them claiming they run into each other quite often that day, with Key replying that she hopes they will become closer as she leaves. Jay asks if Chan and Key are fighting because of her, and Chan thinks she knows the answer. But Jay claims she can’t help it and this is how she is. Chan what to know why did she come back, and Jay admits she returned to get her back. Chan argues that she suddenly left her, and asks her if she simply wants her to forget what she did to her, and why is she so sure that she can do anything to her. Jay touches her face and claims it’s because she knows that she still loves her, she is just trying to deny it. Chan admits that she still loves Jay, and Jay wants to get back together. We see that Key witnessed the conversation until then, bet she leaves as Chan claims she doesn’t want to be hurt by Jay again. She asks her to let her go and leaves. Key is drowning her sorrows in a couple of drinks at the bar, but Jay tells her to stop wasting alcohol like this. Key claims to have really hit it off with her, and Jay admits that she has as well, claiming that she did some digging about her. Af first, she thought that she was after Chan’s money, but found out Key was from a well-known family, so why did she agree to be Chan’s sugar baby. Key asks if she tells her, will she get out of Chan’s life, and Jay asks her back if she thinks she would do that. Key knows that she wouldn’t, but claims it was still worth a shot. Jay asks her if she likes Chan that much, and Key admits she’s in love with her, she’s been in love with her for years, she claims. She recounts the story of their first encounter when her mother tried to abandon her, claiming her mother never loved her. And we get a flashback of Key running through the night through some woods, trying to reach her mother by phone to no avail. She got really desperate and scared as she finally got to a road with a car passing by, then reversing, with Chan getting out and asking if she’s alright. Key claims she got lost, claiming she wanted to watch the stars. She wants to go home to Bangkok, and Chan offers to give her a ride, claiming she also needs to go to Bangkok. She grabs her hand and puts her into her car then drives off – after she calls her girlfriend Jay, who is in the USA at that time, talking about a photo of the stars in the Thailand sky she took for her. She offers her the phone to call her family, but she declines. Then, they exchange names and Key realizes that Chan is named after the moon (จันทร์ means “moon” in Thai). She remembers that her mother told her that if they can see the stars clearly at night, it means that they won’t see the moon – and vice versa, as they were both watching the stars. Chan tells her that she doesn’t know what she’s been through, but argues she will get through it. Reaching her home, she thanks her for the ride, then tells her she will get a moon tattoo on her chest when she’s older, so that Chan will remember her if their paths cross again. Chan claims she won’t forget her as she parts. Key claims to Joy that life can be so cruel sometimes, as Chan doesn’t remember her, she only remembers and loves Jay. That’s why she can be only her sugar baby. Jay wants to know if she’s going to give up, and Key denies it, as Jay doesn’t. Jay claims that now, Key is worthy of being her rival. And that’s where the episode ends. ____ I was surprised that Key told Jay of all people the story of why she fell in love with Chan. But at least we know now we fell in love aa first sight with Chan not remembering anything. The rest of the episode showed that Jay still has a hold on Chan, as Sun feared, but we don’t yet know why she left and came back, as wo don’t know why Key strolled through the woods, was she in search of her mother? Plenty of stuff for more episodes of “Moonshadow”, I think .😊
