Alice_01

Mainly caught my eye cause of the ML looked like Wang Yibo in the poster and got curious!
The plot is nothing new and it's not the best written scripted either but it's fun and it kinda reminded me of I Am Nobody S1 but ofc not same quality...
Still, it's bingable and an easy watch for a short drama^^

Same here!! This is around the time it got draggy and boring for me too...I am not a big fan of the Shen Yi & Dr Fang connection either and I think the cases overall were a bit weaker compared to season 1! However, likewise, I will still stick to the end but I am just a bit disappointed! I am curious how S3 will go like if they have one...Hopefully, it will get better there!

The ending of episode 4 had me crying 😂 There's no way homeboy went to a whole different high school just because of that one spelling mistake! I am surprised he could even find one with that name...I can't wait for the next episode, it's gonna be so fun and exciting ~
Our Gaminie might be a total pro when it comes to action, but he's definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to thinking things through ><

This role is absolutely perfect for Min Hyun! The character truly brings out the best in him, and he shines in every moment. The rest of the cast were also chosen well and fit the vibes of their characters. So far I'm loving every second of it and can't wait for more episodes to be released!

😂 😂

Honestly same here or just will watch it once and wait for the fan subs haha

I just saw the news on X!!! 2025 started with a bang for C-BL!! Japanese broadcast WOWOW bought the rights and will air all 30 eps this upcoming March!! After the Spirealm this drama also finally followed the internationally broadcast route and hopefully more shelved C-BLs will finally get to see the light through this method ><
But I am unsure if they will provide English or only Japanese subs...If it's the latter I guess we will either have to rely on fan subs or wait for a platform like VIKI/Viu to gain access...Still, the important thing is that now ALL 30 eps can safely air!!

You're welcome >< I just thought others might be interested as well and dropped by to mention it! Pyramid Game is a rare gem and I would really love to get more of this genre...Hopefully the upcoming one won't dissapoint!

Exactly! Who cares about realistic portrayals in youth action dramas anyway it's not like it's a documentary. >< If anything I would say most of us watch these dramas to get away from reality and entertain ourselves~
And especially this one right here which is so well made!

The girls are entering from the next ep it seems! Honestly seeing them in the poster I had my suspicions of the school being co-ed but the whole gender-based separate classes made it hard to guess ><
The ending scene of ep 2 was so funny tho lmao
So far this is a 10/10 for me I just hope it will keep the same vibes throughout the whole thing and please NO ROMANCE!!

As much as I liked this I don't think a S2 is needed here. Everything was pretty well tied in the end and the last few minutes scene with the new girls had more of a symbolic meaning rather than being a hint for S2...However, if the same production wants to bring another new Season cause of its popularity I would be on board for sure~ But since season 1 was based on a manhwa (pre-existing material) I guess they would need time to produce a new script from scratch?

It looks like another similar Kdrama Friendly Rivalry is coming out this February. It's again based on GL Manhwa but toned down ofc cause Korea mainstream ain't ready yet... After watching Pyramid Game last year, I have been craving for more K-drama like this, so hopefully, it's good!! We really need more female-centric dramas without unnecessary straight couple scenes and top-notch acting & production!!

In the manhwa ver. it was hinted that Myung Ja Eun and Su ji (MC) were also a thing together by the end of the story but it was greatly toned down in the drama (I suppose since it involved the main characters and that's I guess why they added the tech brother guy which never existed in the manhwa). However, I liked how at least they showed them together during the closing of the drama finale and without any love lines at least.

I've watched my fair share of idol dramas myself, but I feel like they really went above and beyond in this one. The costumes, hair ornaments, and makeup were so intricate here. I've never seen all three come together so elaborately before. However, I do think that the heavy focus on these details limited the actors' ability to fully express themselves, which also made it harder for us to connect with the more emotional scenes. I wish I could have overlooked it like you but it was sadly far too glaring for me.

Exactly! If they had only focused more on the pacing and the overall execution of this, it could have been a much stronger drama. It’s a shame because there was so much potential, but those poor production choices really held it back.

Finally got to complete this!
Moonlight Mystique was honestly a c-drama I was really looking forward to! As a fan of xianxia and this being part of my favorite trilogies, my expectations and anticipation for it run high, especially with a cast I admired from previous works. Unfortunately, it didn’t fully live up to those expectations for me.

The early episodes were a struggle, with pacing issues, awkward OST input choices, and editing that made it hard to connect. However, once the plot picked up and the sub-plots came into play, it became more engaging, especially with the mystery surrounding the stone and the contemplations tying the storylines together.

While the lead actors did their best, I wasn’t sold on the romance. It lacked emotional depth, and some scenes felt exaggerated or stiff, possibly due to character writing rather than the actors themselves or maybe cause of the elaborate styling restraining their acting abilities (will explain further below).

On the positive side, the supporting cast added some real emotional weight to the latter half of the drama, making it more compelling and even having me cry at times. However, as the drama neared its end, the plot became predictable, and the rushed "5 minutes of happiness" finale didn’t leave much emotional payoff.

Now technically wise, I loved the OST and the CGI was passable, while the drama sets and outfits were truly stunning. But, the elaborate costumes, while beautiful, somewhat hindered emotional immersion in the sadder or angrier played scenes. It was hard to connect with the pain when the characters looked so perfectly styled with full makeup drawn.

Overall, Moonlight Mystique had potential, but certain choices kept it from being as memorable as I’d hoped.
This is a 7.5/10 for me!!

Ikr?? Tho he picks few projects every year they are always good dramas ><

Okay I see~

Viki

Umm 2 eps in and with that amount of violence and bloodshed I would find it weirder if it wasn't 18+ lol At least by Asian/Korean standards just them showing the cigarettes and students smoking with no censor makes this a 18+ let alone the rest happening...
