I just watched the first episode and it was interesting. Even though the characters are exaggerated in their characteristics and are obviously only superficially portrayed in the first 15 minutes, the episode is interesting with its protagonist and his challenges. And what a relief that Lu Yun Feng portrays the young but down-to-earth Wei Jian Hao well. So I will continue to watch it.
Hi MDL, I was not able to add some cast. The change page did not work for me. Also I did not have the time to write an introduction, so I just copied and translated some and commented them. Feel free to use it to complete this site. :-)
And here is also another plot description out of the sina article about this drama I cited below. I took parts…
"The contract wedding staged a high-energy plot of forced kissing with chains, which made the audience scream.
The short play "Floating Dreams" tells the story of Su Mengyan, the legitimate daughter of the leader of the Liuying Sect, who, for the sake of the peace of the sect, acts as a proton and gets married to Fu Sheng, the young master of the Lengyue Sect. The two were once a perfect match, but Su Mengyan, whose memory has been sealed, only regards Fu Sheng as her enemy, and will even act as an undercover agent to steal the Lengyue Sect's sacred object "Leng Lingzhu". Fu Sheng blamed Su Mengyan for all the humiliation and torture because Su's father had harmed his parents. The two of them played their own chess, sinking infinitely in the fire of desire and hatred. However, as Su Mengyan's memory gradually recovers, the overt and covert struggle between the Liuying sect and the Lengyue sect gradually escalates, and an entanglement and redemption of love and hate, resentment and longing begins."
And here is also another plot description out of the sina article about this drama I cited below. I took parts out which describe the production process. This is translated with google translate:"... When technology empowers stories, and when fantasy narratives inject realistic themes, the short drama "Floating Dreams" stars the new-generation actors Leng Ba and Chen Jianyu with good looks. The undercover wife and the yandere sect leader fell in love and killed each other, and an extreme love-hate entanglement was staged. Recently, the short drama "Floating Dreams" is airing exclusively on Kuaishou, with one episode updated every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.(...)As the treacherous world of rivers and lakes slowly unfolded, a drama surrounding the marriage between the Liuying Sect and the Lengyue Sect was staged with great energy. The undercover wife Su Mengyan and the yandere sect leader Fu Sheng formed a contract of love. Hatred and lust completely devoured the two of them, and a fantasy journey of exploring the truth and mutual redemption began." The continuation of the plot description of this article in the next spoiler comment.
Hi! I don't know how it is usually done, but I searched via Baidu and found this. I translated it with google…
"Su's father, Su Yaotian, was obsessed with power and designed to kill Fu Sheng's parents. Later, in order to quell the war between the two sects, Su Mengyan was forcibly married to Lengyue Sect as a hostage for a truce, and forced to steal the Lengyue Sect's sacred object "Lenglingzhu". Before getting married, Su Mengyan was sealed with all her memories related to Fu Sheng and mistakenly believed that Fu Sheng had caused her brother to be seriously ill. Fu Sheng, who was deeply hurt by the loss of his loved ones, mistakenly believed that she had betrayed his former deep affection and pointed the spearhead of hatred directly at Su Mengyan. On the night of the wedding, the two met again, one was ignorant and resentful, and the other was full of hatred. Facing Su Mengyan, who had forgotten everything, Fu Sheng vented his emotions with an almost crazy kiss on her neck. Love and hate, resentment and longing were all entangled in this kiss. A thrilling love-hate relationship began."
Hi! I don't know how it is usually done, but I searched via Baidu and found this. I translated it with google translate from simplified chinese:" The story of "Floating Dream Song" drags the audience into a vortex of Jianghu full of grievances and hatreds at the beginning. Su Mengyan, the daughter of the head of Liuying Sect, and Fu Sheng, the young master of Lengyue Sect, were originally a match made in heaven, but they were trapped in the quagmire of fate due to the disputes between the two sects." In my following spoiler-full comment, there is the rest of the plot, I guess? Sadly the baidu site gives the whole plot out?
And you know, that fact that he’s annoying you means he’s doing a good job as an actor because he’s definitely…
Hi Soocrafty! I love how you defend and explain this gem of a drama. I started with hope and stuck to it as it is really a good drama! But it needs people like you to get people to watch it! 💐
Finally I was able to watch some of the episodes again. And it felt so right like being with them again. Still coming here nearly every day and reading the comments and enjoying new tidbits posted mostly by Stellovet our grandmaster of media research! 😉❤️ Even silent for most of the time I'm with my roomates camping in the demon-hunting bureau.🕯️🕯️🕯️⛺️🎋
After five episodes, I think Under the Moonlight is an engaging costume drama that I can recommend to watch. So far, it's not about romance, but about solving cases, and the FL is a fascinating character trying to prove her worth by solving cases for the district judge. The following episodes will have to show, if the cases are strong enough to hold my interest.
I am. It's not bad. Better as it moves along... last night's episode antagonist sent shivers down my back when…
Hi and thank you for your answer. I watched only episode 1 and it was so bad written in my opinion that I asked myself if I should watch it any further. Now after your answer I will give it a second chance. ;-)
This would have been one of my favorite dramas if they change the FL and the Ending😑The ML does all the works…
I really liked the drama. The ending also disappointed me. But I can't agree with all the criticism of the female lead. Shen Xi was a very demanding character. And Ko Chia Yen delivered an excellent performance. In my opinion, she portrayed the character with all her struggles and desires in a lifelike way. There are very few such characters in C-dramaland. And in contrast to all these dramas with childish or too perfect female characters, I'm glad that Shen Xi exists.
But as I don't know the rules of posting photos here? Maybe some staff member of MDL can do it?
