Moonlight

Sweet Story, tears and laughter and Love

Came here after LGIEF and was not at all disappointed.

I love Yu Shu Xin as an actress she never fails to make me giggle, cry and cheer for her character.
Chu li is smart sassy and victorious, I love that she experiences success and spreads that to others.
Zhou chuan is adorable, although childish at first we see him grow into a selfless and loving partner with a bit of a cheeky youthful streak!

The chemistry was fantastic, very convincingfrom emenies, friends to lovers, their fierce protection of each other and desire for each other success, their love and banter was great to watch.

the brotherly love between male leads was funny and realistic, no hate just genuine brothers.
2nd leads were really very sweet, I am glad it went their way.

The parental/mentors Love was very touching and I was glad to see how they really cared for their children

The character development was done well everyone had grown into maturity by the end discovering themselves with chi li as an anchor for the group her resolve and attitude were infectious.

The ending was so sweet and well written and acted it flowed naturally and did not feel rushed.... I will certainly miss this cast as they were all really good, even the villains, I am not ready to say Goodbye.

Er gou was a star, I loved his hairstyles, so cute.

Full of fluff overrated drama

This drama is about people in writing and publishing business. ML is an author who is young and popular and female lead is an editor and slowly climbing the corporate ladder started as an intern. i am surprised that this drama is 8.4 rating. The story is total cliché full of fluff. 1st ML and FL Ryan Ding and Ether Wu does not have chemistry on screen. Ether Wu's role was very confusing, she comes across timid but she acts brave and is outspoken sometimes, sometimes she behaves like a crazy women with no sense, sometimes she when she is none of above she is talking like a child. She is ambitious but relying on all three leads for her success. Ryan Ding portrays typical author who is aloof and cold and minds his own business but in reality he is kind and often misunderstood. His acting and character he played was at least consistent. 2nd ML and FL leads have good chemistry and mature roles. I liked them both. Most annoying thing for me was the background music, which was so loud and plays all the the time even when there is a dialogue going on in front back ground music is not subtle and completely unnecessary. If you have time to kill, watch it, otherwise you can pass this one.

Such a cute and comfort drama ( MUST WATCH )

This drama is such comforting every time there is nothing to watch I always rewatch this drama! I gotta say Chu Li is such a good editor she will always fight for the author of what they deserve and wants the best for them and never give up on them and help them bring them to the fullest. Zhuo Chuan is a hardworking author like on one of the episodes when Chu Li is tired he puts a blanket on her and finish editing the script. But at first they knew each other online as Monkey ( Chu Li ) and Mr Fox ( Zhuo Chuan ) so it was a online friends ( crushing ) then Chu Li joined her dream job of the Yuan Yue Publishing House and Chu Li had to sign Zhuo Chuan and Zhuo Chuan find out that Chu Li was his Online best friend and he signed the contract without her knowing that he is Mr Fox and after that Chu Li became his editor and they slowly getting closer with all the bickering and they slowly grew affection for each other. Also I liked how Zhuo Chaun only had eyes for Chu Li and not for other girls. Overall This is one of my favourite dramas and this is a must watch!!

The love between Writer & Editor!

Delightful light romance C-drama that captures the essence of modern relationships! The story revolves around an online friendship that blossoms into a beautiful romance as the male lead (ML), a typical cold, proud, and talented guy, navigates his feelings for the female lead (FL). She’s the complete opposite—bubbly, cute, and full of energy, bringing a refreshing dynamic to their interactions.

The chemistry between the leads is simply adorable, making their journey from partner (Writer & Editor) to a couple feel natural and heartwarming. The simplicity of the plot works in its favor, allowing the characters' growth and relationship development to shine.

Cute story

I'm enjoying this drama so far. I like Esther Yu and enjoyed watching her in Love Between Fairy and Devil and Find Yourself. She plays the innocent girl with a good heart, but you know there's someone who's not completely clueless and quickly grows up at some point, really well. I always enjoy watching her character development and how she matures from the beginning to the end. And so far, her character in this drama seems to be similar. Some people find her voice annoying, but I think it works for the roles that she plays. And the ML with being kind of opposite of her works. I enjoyed the humor throughout the early episodes so far. If you're looking for a light Rom Com with a slow pace and easy viewing, this is for you. My only minor complaint is sometimes when the background music with lyrics is playing, if you're dependent on subtitles like me, the subtitles for the lyrics kind of interferes with the subtitles for the dialogue. So it's hard to follow as they are both posted at the same time.

A perfect and strong female lead

Chu Li is amazing and Esther Yu did a wonderful job acting this character. I thought this drama would drag but I feel like everything happened accordingly and never bored me. What I enjoy the most is the good variety of female actors this cast has and it's the same amount or even more of male casts. Which feels good specially in a editors company, their are no female VS female in the job but more like older guys trying to do things their way but Chu Li never stops her goals and goes for what she desires. It potrays Chu Li passion for books and how she expresses her like of authors and how they should be represented. She doesn't hesitate for her dreams and you always see how she grows from a young rookie to a professional which is amazing, she never stopped her goals for anyone and I feel like drama is more centered on her. I think both male and female lead got to grow and specially the male lead to stop being immature which was annoying at the beginning but around middle to end you can see how well he treats Chu Li and his decisions become more mature and thinks before he acts. This drama is very sweet and well done. It has a part for everything and I believe it was so well done in representation of having a big female cast as working woman with their struggles and their hopes of growing and earning a spot in their work place. I would highly recommend this drama.

The only con I would give is the second couple, honestly I could careless about them. If their characters didn't exist I wouldn't mind hahaha I did like the second male lead a bit more and I enjoyed the female lead too but I just didn't feel intrigued in their love life I actually liked their character seperate but once together felt meh to me

Surpreendente

Gostei bastante desse dorama, por ser uma história que, apesar de ter conflitos, não eram conflitos infantilizados ou daqueles mirabolantes, até mesmo com o conflito em relação a Song Yi, tinha uma camada por trás que era plausível.
Adorei que a protagonista (Chu Li t) era bem determinada e corajosa, apesar de inexperiente em sua profissão no início do dorama. Dei bastante risada com as maluquices Zhou Chuan e sua interação com o Jing eram hilárias.
Eu adoro acompanhar doramas que envolvam o dia a dia de editoras, designers e todo esse mundo.
Mas o último episódio eu senti que deixou a desejar em relação aos protagonistas e principalmente em relação a carreira da Chu Li t, mas é aquele felizes para sempre que todo mundo implora nos doramas.

Protagonista surpreendente

O que mais me atrai ao longo do drama foi que a Chu Li, mesmo sendo muito fofa ainda sim demostra características fortes e não tem aquela enrolação de terminar relacionamento por besteira ou por opiniões de gente aleatória, ela vai coloca sua opinião em jogo e vai atras do que quer principalmente no trabalho. A relação de Zhou Chuan com o amigo/irmão é excelente. O desenrolar e crescimento do casal secundário também foi de uma forma muito satisfatória . Além disso, a relação de pai e filho voltando a ser de família e não mais como "rivais" e desentendimentos. Eu realmente curto dramas que mesmo que seja bem no finalzinho mostrem um pouco mais do futuro e como ficou após os desfechos principais.

Moonlight é uma excelente escolha - Drama de 2021

A história acompanha Chu Li (Esther Yu), uma editora determinada que enfrenta desafios no mercado editorial, e Zhou Chuan (Ryan Ding), um autor de sucesso que inicialmente subestima a importância dos editores. A relação dos dois começa conflitante, mas evolui para um romance cheio de humor, emoção e crescimento mútuo.

Chu Li começa a trabalhar na Editora Yuan Yue, enfrentando obstáculos tanto profissionais quanto emocionais. Zhou Chuan descobre que Chu Li é um "Monkey Monarch", um fã que apoiava anonimamente online, adicionando uma camada de conexão inesperada à dinâmica deles. O drama traz 36 episódios e é ambientado no mundo literário, com muitas cenas em bibliotecas e escritórios, oferecendo um cenário único para a narrativa.

O vínculo entre Chu Li e Zhou Chuan reflete desafios comuns em relacionamentos, como comunicação, confiança e superação de diferenças:

Início tumultuado : Zhou Chuan, arrogante e cínico, desvaloriza o papel de Chu Li como editora. No entanto, a sua determinação e paixão pelo trabalho o levam a respeitá-la.

Amizade e respeito : À medida que colaboramos, desenvolvemos uma amizade sincera, que se transforma em romance. Zhou Chuan aprende a ser mais humilde, enquanto Chu Li cresce em confiança.

Desafios e crescimento mútuo : Ambos enfrentam dificuldades pessoais e profissionais, como mal-entendidos e inseguranças, mas usam essas experiências para amadurecer.

O drama combina momentos clássicos dos romances asiáticos, como cenas leves e econômicas, diálogos emocionantes e simbolismos ligados à literatura. A química entre os protagonistas foi incrível e envolvente.
A trama exploratória como o amor pode ser uma aventura para o autodesenvolvimento, destacando a importância de apoio mútuo e compreensão em um relacionamento. Moonlight apresenta uma visão realista e inspiradora do romance, combinando humor, sensibilidade e profundidade emocional.

Se você gosta de histórias sobre superação, crescimento e amor com um toque literário, Moonlight é uma excelente escolha.

Comedia romántica sobre escritores y editores.

Comedia romántica que pude ver en Amazon Prime, que ahora tienen un montón de series asiáticas.
Como todavía no le he encontrado el gusto a los dramas históricos chinos me suelo inclinar por las series actuales, o por películas, algunas de las cuales son muy buenas.

Luz de luna, o Moonlight es la historia de Zhou Chuan, un escritor de fantasía de unos veintisiete años, que se encuentra con Chu Li, una recién licenciada que desea ser editora, y que debe rondar los veinte dos años.
Chu Li acude a la editorial de sus sueños y después de demostrar su desparpajo es contratada. Ya sabes que para tener el trabajo que deseas solo tienes que ir a esa empresa y decir que quieres trabajar para ellos, porque es tu sueño... En fin, que Chu Li es contratrada pero debe mostrar su valía y para eso le imponen la tarea de conseguir que Zhoy Chuan, uno de los escritores jóvenes más valiosos del país, firme un contrato con ellos. O sea, llega una joven a la oficina, les dice que quiere trabajar para ellos, porque es su sueño, consigue el trabajo y su primera tarea es conseguir a la gran estrella literaria del momento. Es importante porque es lo que define toda la serie, lo que Chu Li quiere conseguir lo consigue, no hay frustaciones, pesares, odios, o nada malicioso alrededor de ella, salvo un jefe editor que no la quiere mucho. El resto es un baño de rosas para la protagonista.
En cuanto a Zhou Chuan, lo mismo, un protagonista que no tienen ningún pesar salvo una visión de la literatura distinta a la de su padre. Él escribe fantasía y su padre literatura clásica china, con lo cual hay una ruptura generacional que nunca llega a ser un gran conflicto abierto. No grandes dramas, la madre de Zhou Chuan actúa de conciliador en todo momento.
Como pareja no dan para mucho. Su relación desde el primer episodio hasta el último no varía, es la misma. Lo más curioso de todos es que puedes verlos como novios, o marido y mujer, porque son tal para cual.
La pareja secundaria, la del escritor Jiang Yo Cheng, y la de la editoiral, Gu Bai Zhi, es un poco mas compleja porque fueron amantes antes, y ahora no quieren verse, pese a que se aprecia desde el principio que ambos aún se quieren. Esta relación es mucho más madura, y hace que la de Zhou y Chu Li parezca el noviazgo de dos niños de secundaria.

A lo largo de los treinta y tantos episodios no hay nada interesante que decir, y siendo sincera si quitara todas las escenas que son copias de otras escenas, o copias modificadas de otras escenas, nos quedaría una serie de dos episodios de una hora cada uno. Y soy generosa.
Le debo añadir que casi todos los secundarios son adorables -salvo claro ciertos compañeros de trabajo trepas- pero en términos generales es una serie llena de buenos personajes. La mejor amiga de Chu LI, es una diseñadora de pelo rizo y grandes gafas que parece tener la personalidad de un pez. Luego otra editora que también es adorable. Su jefa, que ronda la perfección. Su jefe mayor, otro dechado de virtudes. Los padres de ella, adorables a pesar de que su madre tiene un gran cáracter. En el caso de los padres de él, es al revés, el padre es rígido en sus pensamientos y la madre es la adorable.

¿Recomendaría esta serie? Yo la he visto hasta el capítulo 30 y luego he saltado al 35 y al 36. Estos últimos de modo rápido, y la razón es simple. Me gustaba la relación de Zhou y Chu LI cuando no estaban juntos porque él podría llegar a ser bastante simpático cuando estaba celoso, lo que le llevaba a ver a su amigo Cheng para quejarse y pedir consejo. Ella en su modo de lerda, al no enterarse de nada, daba ese toque infantil dulce que no resultaba empalagoso en exceso. Que sean capítulos de cuarenta minutos ayuda mucho. Pero una vez que son pareja, ya no hay ese tira y afloja, y los elementos inocentes que provocaban una sonrisa cuando no eran pareja y no sabían aún definir sus sentimientos, se vuelven estúpidos. Puede que sea porque mi visión occidental sea más explícita pero el pudor excesivo de Chu Li me resultaba muchas veces irritante.

Como nota final algunas consideraciones. Zhou Chuan, o el actor que lo interpreta, Ding Yu Xi, me pareció excesivamente delgado. Muy delgado. Hay planos en los que la delgadez que muestra, sobre todo en la cara, es impresionante. Sé que es un hombre delgado, pero aún así dan ganas de plantarle un bocadillo de chorizo en todo los morros.

En cuanto a Chu Li, o Yy Shu Xin, también es delgada, pero tiene la cara redondada y se la ve más sana. Que su novio de diga que está gorda o que tiene la cara grande no es algo que me haya gustado mucho. Por cierto, tiene una voz de pito -no sé si lo hace ella o no- que se vuelve más irritante a media que pasan los capítulos.
Ma Yin Yin, me parece una mujer muy bella y hace una buena pareja con Yang Shi Ze.

Resumiendo.
La historia es excesivamente larga, si ves los dos primeros episodios y los dos últimos estás servido.
Producción, excelente, Se nota que hay dinero detrás. Los decorados están muy bien, y los actores tienen un guardaropa que es mayor que la ropa que tiene el Corte Inglés en cualquiera de sus centros comerciales.
Interpretación. Es correcta rozando al notable. Para un guión tan pobre creo que lo han resulto bastante bien, aunque hay momentos en que los actores están un poco acartonados, pero puede que sea más problema de direción artística que de talento. Eso sí, no creo que tengan grandes recursos en las escenas dramáticas, aunque si en las de comedia.
Música. Muy bien. Me ha gustado mucho, aunque no hayan sido muchas canciones. Muy escasa la banda sonora, supongo que gastaron todo el dinero en ropa.
Sigo sin entender porque los actores se doblan a si mismos. Hay momentos en los que parece que no hay doblaje, en otros sí. Raro.

En general no ha sido una mala serie, es de esas series románticas amables que están destinadas a ser puro entretenimiento sin ofrencer grandes dramas al espectador. ¿La volvería a ver? No, con una vez es suficiente.
