Moonstruck

Ep18 was so heartbreaking. I knew some of them would 'go', I just didn't expect this much.
Just one unnecessary scene (common in Cdramas) though when DuanWu spat blood, she got hit on the shoulder, no reason to vomit blood. It distracted me a bit from the feels.

Yan ZiJing 🤝 Ling Buyi
choose revenge over girlfriend 👀

Episode 18 is so heavy 😢

I just want to say I appreciate the script on how they made the business dealings/schemes complex yet still understandable.
Often on Business or Political dramas it's hard to follow what is happening and you just kinda turn off your brain and just roll with it.
Atleast with this one, if you are reading the subs you can follow what is happening. It makes it enjoyable understanding their schemes.

Yes, the pearl diver slut that is heartless and spicy 😂

2ML is really annoying and unrealistic with his ideals. Always yapping about justice and the law while he grew up privileged with no sense for real injustice.
This is why I'll always prefer the anti-hero type ML.

Is it just me or the subs are not making sense on the 2nd half of ep10?

Thank you, that was a great explanation. 😊

Can someone who read the novel explain the deal about tribute pearls? Why is it a matter of life and death for Cui family to deliver the pearls?

Yes. But atleast ML is more humane with how he treat slaves.

God I hope the 'missing sister' does not turn out to be that nasty tomboy Cui.

I saw on tiktok, which I assumed was from a trailer. There was fire and DW was carrying an injured/dead body(Shrimp?) and then she got shot by an arrow.

Okay, based on the trailer it seems Shrimp will die 😢 We gotta ready our hearts.
And it also looks like ML shot her with an arrow to intercept another arrow, but his arrow still ended up hitting her (but atleast not in the vital spot).
I'm ready for all the angst. Actually, all these sad scenes are giving me a good feeling that the ending will be happy. It's like the opposite of dramas that starts happy but ends sad.

I wonder if Lusi and YuNing will have atleast a kiss scene here. I remember in The Long Ballad they never had any.

Yeah, that frustrated me too, though I tried to make logic for that scene. Haha They could possibly still be chased on water if no one was actively blocking the pursuer.

I don't even care if there is no romance, I just want Duanwu to succeed. And please don't kill off Shrimp 😢

I'm just thinking how her Mom should have just mentioned the Father's name, would surely make things easier for her.

He's like a little Wu Lei in the making.
So young and yet so accomplished.
He's amazing in Pearl Girl, I hope his character doesn't get killed off.

I'm usually someone who rarely get emotional over sad dramas / endings, but I'm on episode 3 of this drama and I've been crying non-stop.
You know when LuSi takes on a pitiful character, your heart will for sure ache for her. I remember first time seeing her in The Long Ballad and everytime she cries I cry with her, same as in LLTG. Such an amazing actress!

I hope this is one of those drama that will make as feel all this angst but will pay off with a happy ending. Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I paused after ep14. But I think I'm not gonna continue anymore.
It's already bad they turned ML from badass to pathetic simp. And with the spoilers about the ending. I don't know if it will be worth the time anymore.
Such a pity, I really like the ML in the beginning.

Well, people have preference. Some may not like it for whatever reason and that is also okay as long as they just skip and not bash it.
