Moonlit Reunion

A good comfort drama from start to finish ...although a little rushed hehe

If you're looking for a drama with little to no misunderstandings, good plot , great visuals and a slightly rushed ending that you won't be too mad at? Moonlit reunion is for you.

It started out as quite a slow paced drama which didn't really make sense but didn't really affect the viewing and then slowly it became intense and well acted out. The relationships in the dramas were fleshed out and although it may not be what we expect all in all it was a good drama that you can watch to pass time or if you're not in the mood to handle and usual cdrama misunderstandings nonsense.

Mei zhu Yu and Wu Zhen are really a beautiful couple hehehe

A must watch drama for everyone.

Xu kai proves he can act and maintain chemistry with everyone, god give him such a handsome face, it's the reason that fl fall for him and us too. I loved they kept their secret and worked together. Such a wonderful drama to watch. I feel bad for shu at the end such a cute villian. Anyway the demon and cultivator done their job great. Their is no extended drama to solve in the end, they just show all the plot as soon as possible, it help my anxious mind to relax and enjoy it better. FL and ML don't dwell in the past and goes like why it happened, they are understood each other really well. I loved it.

✨ Moonlit Reunion: A Lush Tang Dynasty Fantasy of Love, Secrets, and Supernatural Intrigue ✨

A 38-episode drama adapted from Fu Hua’s web novel :Mei Fu Ren Chong Fu Ri Chang".
Moonlit Reunion—a fantasy-historical drama set in ancient Chang’an that blends romance, mystery, and supernatural intrigue.
A richly woven supernatural romance set in the vibrant, alluring capital of Chang’an. By day, elegant courtiers walk brightly lit streets; by night, hidden realms of demons and secret identities emerge.
- Mei Zhuyu (Xu Kai): A calm, duty-driven official with a hidden identity as a celestial master or demon hunter.
- Wu Zhen (Tian Xiwei): A bold noblewoman—disguised in men’s attire and leading nocturnal escapades—who secretly reigns as the powerful Cat Lord protecting the Demon Market.

[The VFX and cinematography are outstanding, creating a visually stunning experience. The performances from both the actors and actresses were excellent, with each delivering their roles beautifully --- everyone fit their roles perfectly. Overall, the production team did a remarkable job, especially in bringing the fantasy elements to life through top-notch VFX and cinematography. The whole team nailed it.]
[There were a few parts that left me a bit disappointed. Maybe it’s just because I had really high expectations for this drama, but I felt like it could’ve given a little more in some areas. Like firstly, I didn’t really like how they wasted so much screentime on those flashbacks. It felt a bit dragged out and could’ve been tighter. They also gave way too much screentime to the second leads, Mei Si and Liu Tai Zhen. And after all that, their story didn’t even wrap up properly — we were just left with an open ending for them, which was kinda frustrating. Then there was Wu Zi Shu… like, what was even the point of his character? It felt like he was just there to mess with the ML and FL and stir up chaos in the Demon Realm. His death/suicide in episode 37 honestly felt like such a waste. Why kill him off like that? He could’ve had a redemption arc and actually helped everyone fight the Demonic Infant instead. Xuan Hui’s death honestly felt so unnecessary. I really don’t get why they had to kill him off — it just didn’t add much to the story. And then in the last episode, they still didn’t give us enough lovey-dovey moments between Mei Zhu Yu and Wu Zhen. I’d been waiting from ep 29 to 37 for their sweet scenes, and I was really hoping to see their child too but........ ] Aside from these complaints, I really did enjoy this drama a lot! The story was beautiful, the visuals were stunning, and the cast delivered amazing performances.
Strengths:
-Stunning VFX and cinematography – the visuals were top-notch, beautifully capturing both Chang’an’s grandeur and the supernatural Demon Realm.
-Strong performances – most of the cast, especially Tian Xiwei, delivered heartfelt and convincing acting.
-Great chemistry between leads – Mei Zhu Yu and Wu Zhen’s dynamic (even if underused at the end) kept viewers hooked.
-High production quality – from costumes and sets to fight choreography, the show had a polished, immersive feel.
-Engaging supporting cast – despite some pacing issues, side characters brought humor, emotion, and layers to the story.
Weaknesses:
-Dragged pacing – some parts, especially the flashbacks and side plots, felt unnecessarily long.
-Too much focus on side characters – Mei Si and Liu Tai Zhen got a lot of screentime, yet their storyline was left unfinished with an open ending.
-Lack of romance payoff – Mei Zhu Yu and Wu Zhen’s romance was underdeveloped towards the end, with very few sweet moments and no closure about their child.
-Unnecessary character deaths – like Xuan Hui’s, which felt abrupt and didn’t add much to the plot.

Despite its flaws, Moonlit Reunion is still a drama I really enjoyed overall. The visuals, performances, and unique fantasy setting made it worth watching, even if the story stumbled here and there. If you're into mythic romances, lush historical settings, and slow-burning tension with a sprinkle of humor, Moonlit Reunion is worth your time. Just be prepared for occasional pacing bumps.

nothing important

This drama is one of the upcoming drama that i wait. At first, i didn't hype much cause i don't want to feel disappointed later.

For me, the costumes, lighting, and CGI (for the Demon Market and spirit powers) are beautiful. Night scenes, especially, give off a romantic yet slightly eerie vibe, perfectly matching the title.

But then, some episodes are fast-paced, full of mystery and action. Maybe the production didn't edit well. or mislook.

The casts here looks handsome and beautiful. I really like meisi and liutanzhen, even the yeye. They look like a family together , where yeye is their future son who try to make his dad n mom to be together. And of course i didn't like wuzishu, like death wasn't suitable for him. He's sooo annoying character, i thought peijiya would be , but then he died.

Beautiful Production

This drama was a honestly a visual VFX feast; the CGI and the special effects were top notch and clearly high budget.

Plot-wise and as with most dramas, I liked the first half of the story much more than the second. The second half felt more like an afterthought, and the pace was much slower during the last 7 or so episodes. While I didn't mind the side characters since the drama spent a lot of time fleshing out all of their characters, the second half really gave an inordinate amount of screentime to the side characters ... so if you're not a fan of them, just a warning.

Acting-wise, this is one of the rare times where I think absolutely everyone in the cast were great actors that really made their individual characters come alive. Tian Xi Wei in particular completely knocked it out of the park - she played a coquettish Cat Lord so well and probably entered into my list of top 3 female characters of all time for her assertive and carefree personality. Never once have I thought she needed saving and all her fight scenes convinced me that she was incredibly capable and powerful.

Overall, a nice solid production that's worth the watch just for the visuals and the stellar music.

A great production, Interesting plot, Great acting

Both main leads are so good at acting & story wise this is so interesting, especially FL is so cool & her character is so strong, mature, not a childish one. I love her character, ML is so calm & no one can guess he’s a demon hunter. My only concern is both of them are in opposite sides. One is a half-demon who cares for the world peace & the other is a demon hunter who also cares for the world peace. I hope they would end up together no matter how they are differ from each other & yet they share the same goal. Costumes are so gorgeous in this drama & I love how FL’s loved ones spoiled her . A cinematic masterpiece.

The best watch of 2025

Absolutely the best watch of this year and worth waiting for. From production and direction to unmatched performances by both the leads this slow burn historical romance with its fantasy elements, a kickass strong FL and a torn hurting ML subduing his emotions to find his father’s killer and unwillingly but surely compelled to fall for his life mate is an endearing watch that deserves multiple binge rewatches - just to see the two drawn to each other like moths to a flame. Burning and irresistible. The comments regarding the deadpan face acting from KAI are baseless. Read the book. The character is SUPPOSED to be withdrawn, expressionless and restrained. Both Kai and XiWei are well matched in talent and chemistry. The way he falls for her first while she unknowingly is bewitched is so beautiful. She has a strong storyline of an uber strong powerful demon lead while he has humble beginnings and rare unmatched talent and bravery. It’s an enduring story - the kind that fairytales are made of. And the 2 actors have loved the story to its full potential. The way Kai’s expression goes from stone face composed to full panic and fearful when she is in danger is like a page turner from great story to great romance. The best thing about the series is that the story is strong and meaningful and not just and excuse to throw a couple together for a few kiss scenes and irrational romantic moments. Despite being a tv production, the AI, CGI and all manner of special effects are expertly executed. Its a high quality timeless legend that will go on to become an all time classic.

Wonderful, well done fairytale.

1st thing i would like to mark is scenario.

I haven't seen a single scene with stupid lines. No cliche phrases just to fill an empty space.

I really liked how feelings between characters evolved. Gradually, naturally. Not like out of a sudden. That part was written quite smart with care to the story.
I personally hate many of Chinese dramas for blind "emotional exploitation" with bunch of stupid irrational shit happening on screen. Happy that this is not a case- such a joy really)))

Characters detailed, really well thought- out.

Dialogues - smart.

Love attention to details, love that it's written right, whole the composition of the story is good, love that the weapon is the last arguement. Love that scenes of violance occure rarely in natural flow of the story, not just for emotional rape of viewers.

Love heroine- collected but not prim. Fun but nor ridiculous, straightforward but not an upstart. It shows that screenwriters did a really good job.

Direction, production. Story, acting really well assembled. THANK Lu Hao JiJi for this beautiful story and great work. Hope you gonna get best screenwriters, best cameramen and best actors to create more magic.

Costumes for the drama ARE AMAZING!

Tian Xi Wei just took my heart. It might seem easy to portrail and play cat,but infact hard. Many actresses of a global scale hopelessly failed. But Tian Xi Wei did it her own playful but yet elegant way with extreme attention to details of cats behaviour. I was cat breeder for 8 years, and i know almost everything about cats. Tian Xi Wei played a wonderful, smart Cat Mistress.

Wu Jun Ting has shown wonderful mature spectrum of feelings. Deep love and deep despair without being caricature, compulsive or naive. Antihero you can really feel for.

Xu Hai Qiao FREAKING HOT. Former cat master appears for a while in the end and just breaks your heart 💔 💔 💔

Highly recommend to watch this beautiful, high quality fairytale.

“The story is good, but it lags in some parts. I expected more romance, twists, and action. The pacing feels slow, with more focus on friends’ stories than the main plot. Hopefully, the remaining episodes 35–38 will bring stronger fights and unexpected turns. But there isn’t much romance between the main leads, and the drama doesn’t show the full extent of the male lead’s powers or his past, nor the female lead’s past. The supporting characters seem more powerful than the male lead, but since he is mortal, I don’t think he will become much stronger.”
