I know I just missed bisexuality visibility day but I’ve been wanting to make this post for awhile. 2 Moons is one of my favorite series and the relationship between Ming and Kit is one of my favorites. Keep in mind that I have yet to find an English translation of the novel (if you have a link hit me up) so this will all be based off of season one of the television series. Also I know that several other characters in this show are bisexual but I love how Ming and Kit are portrayed the most.

Ok so let me begin with the main reason I wanted to make this post. How the writers of this show portrayed bisexuality with Ming is my favorite thing ever.

When I first started watching 2 Moons I had little idea of the plot. While yes, in the opening theme and on the cards between scenes, Ming and Kit look to be in some sort of relationship, I just assumed this was some fanserivce and the only real couple would be the main couple, Phana and Wayo (another lovely couple I could write a post about). And needless to say, when in one of the very first scenes of the show Ming says

I just assumed that he was going to be the straight best friend character who gave relationship advice to his angsty gay friend. Based off this and his lack of interaction with Kit in the first episodes, I took my assumption to be true. It didn’t help that Ming would say stuff like

when confronted about liking guys. Throughout the first several episodes all you ever see is Ming flirting with girls and whatnot. Him and Kit don’t ever interact. Then suddenly things change during episodes 6 and 7 when Ming and Kit start having interactions and Ming starts flirting with him. Now there’s a lot of moments I could mention here but the one that particularly stood out to me was when Ming basically suggested that he and Kit should date

Honestly I was expecting Ming to have some sort of identity crisis/internalized homophobia thing before he would ever considered being with a guy, and with Ming there wasn’t a single bit of it. It was honestly surprising to see him go from flirting with girls and denying being gay to flirting with guys who kept trying to push him away. To be honest, I wasn’t convinced that he wouldn’t go through some of that later on in the story. After all, Ming hasn’t admitted to liking Kit beyond his teasing. But then once again the show surprises me. During episode 8, possibly one of my favorite scenes of all time happens. Ming tells Wayo that he likes Kit. And when he tells him there’s no, nervousness or fear about telling his best friend that he likes a guy and Wayo doesn’t freak out that his friend who had only shown interests in girls is now suddenly admitting to liking a guy. Instead Wayo has the most normal and relatable reaction to the news

he asks for the deets. Following this, probably one of my most favorite lines in the show that isn’t talked about enough happens.

The thing about this line is that it means that Ming has a type when it comes to guys (tall guys might I add). This means it’s not like he’s thought he was straight his whole life and now he’s met some guy who’s made him reevaluate his sexuality. It means that he’s been into guys this entire time he just likes girls too. I love this because it normalizes bisexuality. Just because he has dated a bunch of girls and flirts with them all the time, it doesn’t mean that he can’t like boys too. He doesn’t need to come out or always flirt with people from both sexes. He doesn’t go advertising it everywhere but he doesn’t try to hide it when he finds a guy he likes. And everyone else sees it as something normal too. Instead of making a big deal over the fact that he likes a guy, they make a big deal over the fact that he likes someone. And because of this I love the writers of this show.

Moving on to Kit, there’s a bit less when it comes to him because there’s more of a focus when it comes to Ming than to Kit but his is just as good.

Kit at the start of the story is like Ming in the aspect that he is only shown flirting with girls and there’s no indicator that he even remotely likes guys. But then in episode 5, there’s the iconic scene where Kit is basically just checking Ming out.

Kit has more of the in denial/internalized homophobia thing going on that I was expecting for Ming. It doesn’t help that he’s a little tsundere who basically insults Ming and pushes him away the more Ming tries to flirt with him. Despite him being in denial about his feelings, he’s not very good at acting like they don’t exist.

Even though he’s constantly staring at Ming or getting flustered when he flirts with him, he still denies that he likes Ming, or even guys in general for that matter. It seems kind of hopeless for Ming since his crush seems to be dead set on keeping heterosexual. Then one of my favorite scenes of the whole series happens. Kit’s friends (Phana and Beam) confront him about liking Ming, Kit of course gives the standard answer

Kit says the classic “you guys have seen that I like girls why would I like a boy now” line. This was the stuff I was expecting from Ming’s side. But even then. the show didn’t handle it how I thought it would. Instead of dragging this “I like girls so shut up about me liking a boy” thing for too long, immediately after Phana says the best line of the entire show

cause in reality that’s all that matters. Ming and Kit’s relationship isn’t about two boys falling in love. It’s about two people, one more reluctant than the other, falling in love. They don’t make some big deal over the fact that two guys are the ones who fell in love and besides Kit’s own little comment about liking girls in the past, nobody cares that both of the guys like girls too. Bisexuality is shown as being normal and nobody cares if you’ve always liked girls, if some cute boy is flirting with you, you should go and get him. That’s why I love this show and the relationship between Ming and Kit. The writers don’t need to give them each a character arc where they discover that they’re not as straight as they thought and they really have feelings for each other. They just need to have a few conversations with their friends where they talk about their feelings (or deny them in Kit’s case) to establish their sexual orientation. I think more shows should adopt this approach to sexual orientation topics. It normalizes it and shows that in reality, it doesn’t matter what somebody’s gender is, what matters is if you like them.
