Moonlight is a great little confection of romance, humor, and stylish action. The first half was soooo charming and the writers were extremely deft at establishing the relationship between the two leads. Lots of strong friendships and relationships all around. The show was weaker at handling the court plots and intrigue, though the actors were all fabulous and made all the characters believable.
This is definitely a historical for when you really just want romance in a new kind of setting. It was great for not having to think to much or even worry too much about the characters because except for the overarching danger (Premier Kim taking over everything), most problems were solved in a single episode. Some characters just sort of disappeared from time to time as the drama didn't have time to keep us informed as to where they went or what ultimately happened to them.
I really liked the show and hope that we can see more shows along this line. Sometimes I just want a show that leaves me feeling happy. Having such a quality cast really helped make this show so successful.
