This was a tragedy that we all knew would happen if you had watched Red Moon Pact, but the way they executed it is heartwrenchingly beautiful. Can't stop my tears 😭😭

His parents pass all their hopes on to him so I hope WangQuan Fu Gui's story will have a happier ending.

This is bad for my heart. Every couple in this drama seem like they gonna meet a bad end...😣💔

He should still put her down gently and not jump to conclusion, accusing her and rejecting her the way he did (from what I gather, Lu Chang in the novel handle it better so fault lies in the drama scriptwriter I guess). Did he think she would have such a huge personality change in two years? Nobody said they still have to get married after clearing the misunderstandings, putting it off/delaying it was another option but he was so hellbent on cancelling the marriage completely as well as cutting all ties with her, leaving no way out for himself, believing only what he wanted to believe at the time. lol he dug the hole himself.

I've discussed about this in some post awhile back but they grew up together, yet he never took heart to anything she does for him and believe she was a spoiled rich lady instead of getting to know the real her. He didnt want to be seen as climbing the rank thru marriage because of his ego. He was also quick to judge that she was involve when her father drugged him. If he had tried to know the real her, I doubt he would believe at all that she would do something like that. His master's matter is also not an excuse besides aside from trying to bribe him, her father hinted that he had important evidence regarding the case which was the thing he wanted the most. Yet he was resolute in his rejection saying he will never regret it no matter what. He simply never bother to care about her before. Well now he regrets it, he should suffer more heartaches in return.

For me, if a friend or someone I have known or loved since I was a child believe that I'm the kind of person who would drugged and force or bully someone into submission when I know I did not... that would really hurt and disappoint me like next level sad. Its frustrating and disheartening to be judge and label like that by someone close to you just because of some circumstances outside of your control. If I were her, I would give up pursuing that kind of man too whether he helped me or not. Staying friends would be the most I can do.

That may be the case but its partly due to her coming to a realization that the person she has past feelings for is Lu Chang when she doesn't actually remember what happen between them. I'm just saying at the very least she should not rush to be with Lu Chang until she recovers her memory.

On the other hand, I really don't like Lu Chang character despite all the things writer did to try to redeem his character, so I rather she ends up with no one than with Lu Chang.

Nah still not enough, Lu Chang should suffer more, get cold-shouldered and rejected by her as well. Saving her and being inconsiderate towards her feelings because he was narrow-minded are two different matters. Just because he protected her, doesn't mean she should easily run back into his arms after he so harshly rejected her and cut all ties with her on their wedding night.

sigh~ Ming Shu should not be so hasty in her decisions to reject Qing Zhao and liking Lu Chang when she hasn't fully regained her memory. How annoying Lu Chang still keeping the fact that he already rejected her and cancelled their marriage from her. Episode 31 and still no clue. They really dragging this amnesia thing out.

First episode in and I'm like why are most Heavenly Emperor fathers always so mean and this one is even more ridiculously unreasonable. It so sad that he doesn't even let his son likes a flower, no human form yet, just a plant and still a big fat "No, I'm gonna destroy it so you won't show kindness anymore". Is he heaven father or demon father? 😂

Thats what I've been thinking the whole time as well. Thats why I don't ship ML and FL at all.

If only Qing Zhao were the ML and Lu Chang were the SML who could treat Ming Shu like his real sister, then this drama would be perfect. Qing Zhao's mother already likes Ming Shu so much now. In any other drama, they would be a true couple if not for the impending Lu Chang lurking behind.

Completely agreed. You worded it better than I did. I think FL deserve better and SML genuinely seem like the better choice. Most of all, I don't want her to get hurt but by how the ML handle things and confuses her, I can already see how much pain she will be in once she remembers everything. Can't wait to see her reject him and giving him the cold shoulder though. He reaps what he sows.

Clearing his teacher's name and helping FL are good deeds, I won't deny hes a good person. Relationship-wise, I think hes selfish and a jerk. They knew each other ever since they were young, yet he never truly tried to understand her as a person or learn how kind and dedicated she is. The way I see it, the reason he disregards her before was because of his male ego. She was from a rich family, so he did not want others to think he want to marry up from his station. He was arrogant, self-righteous, taking her feelings for granted and was bias against her due to her background. Yes, I also agreed like you said he had tunnel vision in regard to his teacher's matter but now suddenly thats not his main concern anymore? Now she lost all her family, assets and have amnesia, so he pities her and suddenly learns shes a great woman, its okay for him to change his mind after hurting her so adamantly? Lol so he said he made her his sister in order to protect her for the rest of her life, it would be better if she doesn't remember her dead family and live happily. Now that he falls for her, he hopes she can get back her memory so he can marry her and not hide his feelings... What about her and her feelings? He one-sidedly rejected her, lied to her, fall for her, get jealous and then wants to marry her again, all on his terms whenever he wants. He must think it would be easy since she was so obsessed with him before. God talk about selfish and self-centered. Regardless of how he redeem himself later, I just can't be on his side shipping him with FL. The way they write his chara is so annoying.

You know, I can't shake the feeling that if they had gotten marry in the beginning, her family maybe could've avoid being killed, maybe. Obviously, one reason her dad was so insistent about their marriage, was because he had important evidence to help vindicate his teacher, but he was too stubborn and judgmental to get the hint.

Srsly, ML has no rights to be jealous and getting all possessive. Guess he never told his bestie either (the constable) that he had rejected FL pretty harshly and wanted nothing to do with her before she got amnesia. I'm annoyed he kept trying to ship them together knowing full well FL believe ML is her brother. What kind of feelings are they trying to get out of her? Incestuous love? 🙄

I enjoy everything else about the drama but ML really put me off.

Thanks for confirming. I knew they reshoot the scenes with HYX but wasn't sure if EVERY single scenes with FL was reshot as well. Like I was thinking, to save budget they could've replace some side face shots with AI or something, I've seen plenty of those on bilibili. Glad to know they did not cut any corners though. The cast and crew really put in double the efforts and now I look forward to it even more.

I didn't think YBY was particularly outstanding in L&R, on the other hand Cheng Yi really shine (his angsty tears tugs at my heartstring) and he took off from there. I love her chemistry with ZYC more in My Sassy Princess where her character was more mature and a little mean/naughty. I agreed with you that she can't play cute personality very well without seeming awkward or faked.

I know HYX from a few of her previous work, but most notable ones for me are The Sleepless Princess and The Blue Whisper. I think she can also do crying and serious scenes pretty well naturally despite her baby face and still seem very kindhearted and innocent.

I saw the new trailer with Hu Yi Xuan, looks genuinely good. I'm glad there weren't scenes that look like they replace the FL face with AI. I haven't gotten over Liu Xue Yi and Tiffany in AMbF but my heart really wants to watch this drama too. 😖 Maybe its just me but I actually prefer HYX over Yuan Bing Yan, she has a cuter and softer face that fit her innocent character.

Well I'll do my best to hold off until at least half the episodes are out before I start because seeing those 1 episode a day in the schedules is a pain.

So right! But its okay, just let him keep digging a bigger hole for himself.

I finished Red Moon Pact a few days ago and there were some mentions related to how the story of Love in Pavillion will end and a scene of Dongfang Huai Zhu (with Liu Shi Shi in flashbacks) as well as more mentions of her son, Wangquan Fu Gui (which will be in Sword and Beloved, but Cheng Yi was not shown). An older actor played as Wangquan Hong Ye in Red Moon Pact.

LIP is more like the Prequel to RMP, so no, you do not need to watch RMP first unless you want to learn a little more about the ending to LIP.

A sudden rating drop from 8.3 to 7.7... Ouch

Same, they make a prettier couple than the main leads. I'm shipping FL with SML though we all know it probably won't work out in the end

Last episode turn into Squid Game and then Julie turns into Tindy setting up premise for a second season or just a never-ending net of cybercrimes involving rich psychopaths...

The revelations of the true mastermind behind Julie were a bit disappointing
