Moonstruck

my first one is TMOPB, imagine I picked the most complex genre! haha
I was 13 episodes in and I still don't understand what was happening, luckily I was in the mood then and stuck thru with it and it ended up being one of my all time favorites. then I began enjoying historical and fantasy cdramas.
The first time I tried a modern Cdrama, I picked Well Intended Love because of the number of viewers here in MyDramalist. My god! what pure trash hahaha I stayed away from modern Cdramas years after that.
Thankfully I stumbled upon Begin Again and Go Ahead that restored my respect for modern Cdramas.

anyone read the novel?
without too much spoiler, will this drama get serious and angsty as it progress?
or will it stay comedic?

btw, I hope Xu Lina doesn't think Li Xun did it for her (to prove what she witnessed in the cafe).

I think along the way Kdramas lost their spark. I find myself watching and enjoying Cdramas more lately. The only issue with Cdramas is there's too many of them, and not everything is of high quality, so when a first time viewer unluckily picked a bad one it tends to leave a bad impression. But for sure the good ones are in my opinion a lot better than the hyped Kdramas.

This is actually one reason why I like his character, they didn't make him perfect. He definitely have issues with his attitude. In real life, specially in corporate work, he will surely run into a lot of troubles. It's not enough to be just capable, he cannot be a one man company, he will need others and he needs to learn how to be a team player (even just faking it).
He's quite lucky he got Zhu Yun to balance out the team dynamics. She takes care of the team's morale and he take care that things get done at whatever cause.

I've started and dropped all these dramas you mention. I wasn't feeling them during those time. I might pick up Alchemy of Souls again when season2 airs. :)

Love him in Lighter and Princess.

what's taking so long?
I was looking forward to this because of Luo Yunxi, but now I'm also here for Chen Fei Yu after seeing L&P.haha

I understand.. we all have different taste, or sometimes it also happens when you're just not in the mood for it. Happens to me all the time, I drop so many dramas and a few I pick up again after months and actually enjoy it.
No news with Dylan and LuSi pairing, although I imagine it will happen soon, but they will probably be really picky on which project given the hype the pairing will bring.

really? I mean I understand what happened before with the trio(Love Like the Galaxy, Love Between Fairy & Devil, and Immortal Samsara), the fans were nuts. But those are top billed dramas with big names and big fanbase.
Why does L&P get hate? The actors are relatively new. I know YangMi and BaiJingting also have airing shows, but I don't see this being competed against those shows.

Lighter and Princess, Love Between Fairy and Devil, and Love Like the Galaxy are definitely the best released series this year for me.

Li Xun is climbing on to my top favorite MLs. I must really have a type as I figured my favorite MLs share certain characteristics, this year I have added LiXun, DFQC and LingBuYi in that list haha.
LiXun and DFQC definitely share some traits :
1) I love the anti-hero type, they usually have attitude problems, mean to everyone except the FL
2) they are OP, extremely capable
3) they gradually fell hard, then HARDER
4) they do not fawn over the FL, no cringey lines or corny gestures, but it's the little things ( pretends to be annoyed with FL but loves being around her, the silent gaze, the hidden smiles etc) and then where it matters they go all out to make FL happy/or protect her.
5) they have goals of their own, which usually goes in conflict with their relationship with FL. I'm excited to see how this will play out in Lighter and Princess.

LiXun : Because of love (mic drop)

waaaaaaah! I die.. the best confession so far

I think viewers gave up easily. I was also not hooked until ep7..

apparently the first 22 episodes will all be aired by next week, any news when season 2 starts?

I thought so too.. it's doing so well without the need of over dramatized plot devices

started this with no expectation as I didn't even know any of the actors, I was just bored one day and clicked on episode 1.
I have always been hesitant with modern Cdramas, it's very rare to find a good one, either they are super cringey or they are too boring.
Saw some clips with Li Xun with yellow hair and although he looks really handsome, I didn't get my hopes up as this set up is giving teeny cringe high school romance.lol
But god I was so wrong! haha
I like the angst in the first episode, it's very intriguing how they all ended up in that state.
The flashback is also well done, it is in no way cringey, neither it is boring even though I don't know anything about coding.
I like how steady the flow is, how natural their relationship developed, and how all characters are flawed in their own way.
I don't know how long I can hold back curiosity before I cave in and click on spoilers to see why he ended in prison haha
This is the disadvantage of starting a drama that is still being aired, you need patience in waiting for new episodes.

Honestly, this series came out of nowhere but I'm really liking it

I see. I also watch it from Kisskh and I do think the subs are not accurate. But thanks for sharing anyway :)

guys, where are you watching this? can you share which site pls? I found it subbed, the subs are okay, but I feel something is off, It's like a miss so much context.. is there anywhere with professional subs?

wow I didn't expect to cry. This is a great movie!
