He Knows Her ?

From the early episode he tolerated her. He never questioned her identity. He never asked if she had other relations (esp. With book demon). He never suspected her.
She never betrayed him nor did she ever complain about him being celesial master. Yes she act like she felt betrayed but actually she did cuase yeah she have to leave him.

I love that they never doubt each other. And the plot is always twisting over again and again.

Ep 6, Mei Zhu Yu's words, "If she wants flower she will pluck it herself . If she is in danger, she will not rely on others let alone hide behind someone's back. "
It shows how much he understands her. This was really well developed drama, which filled all plot holes. And I appreciate that.

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.

Catching? more on, marrying the Demon | Drowned in the Worldly realm ~ Lowkey multiple bed scenes

"Don't imagine you can see through everyone around you. There are two sides to everything. The closer you get, the sharper the hidden edge becomes." Liu Tai Zhen

PLEASE NOTE: There's happy ending for this drama. So make sure to finish the ending credits to watch it. =)

Finally found the kind of story I am craving for, for the past few weeks. It must be destiny at this point, really!

I've been searching for a lighthearted costume romance drama but unfortunately wasn't that lucky for the past weeks but for some reason, after looking for various actors/actresses works on Mydramalist, Tian Xi Wei caught my attention...I was even reluctant since I am not so fond of Xu Kai after watching him on Ancient Love Poetry, but still gave it a shot; and right now, all I can say is that this must have been destiny guiding me to the right path. Because not only did I enjoy this drama so much but also made me appreciate Xu Kai, specially his almond and amber colored eyes. Additionally, I was so surprise to see Winwin (Dong Si Cheng) here. He's my ultimate bias after Luhan and although I know his projects, this one complete went off of my head. So seeing him here made me squeak out of pure delight and excitement.

The story and the whole drama was just perfect for me. It was lighthearted, easy to follow, and most importantly...full of heartwarming and silly moments. I love that the story wasn't flooded with heavy plot twists and rather allowed it to flow like water—smoothly and naturally—without getting bothered by any complex and unnecessary plot devices. So I am truly grateful to this production for sparing us from frustration and heartache.

The climactic scenes were skillfully executed. I was totally feeling the tension when the leads were finally revealing their true identities to one another. Personally, it was a highly anticipated moment, and watching them deliver their lines with immense aura, emotion, and grit made me grip my seat tightly, as I couldn't contain the chills running down my spine knowing that they met the expectation I had for that particular scene.

The antagonists (Wu Zi Shu & Rat Elder) were dealt with in an unexpectedly satisfying and abrupt manner. I expected both of them to be included in the final fight, but was quite surprised by how they were ended with ease. I'm not complaining though, because seeing them perish was truly satisfying; it saves us from further damage they may cause.

I also love the path they took to develop the leads' romantic relationship. Their frequent interactions allowed them to naturally flourish their curiosity and feelings, which resulted to them gradually falling in love with each other. The storyline for the 2nd CP was also impressive. It was well structured and they were given proper context and screentime to build and deepen their understanding and connection to one another.

Kudos to the props, costume and design team for their magnificent and outstanding craft. The actors/actresses stood out and shone even brighter thanks to their impressive and skilful touches. Even the costumes for the supporting roles were remarkable. Particularly, the intricate owl costume. That full head piece totally rendered me on a state of awe. The best!

Ultimately, I'm grateful towards the production team for still giving us a happy and silly ending. I'm glad I finished the ending credits, because if not, I may have missed their most deserved happy ending. It was interesting and silly to see them using the body-swapping-dolls during the end; and I must say that it was such a clever idea to have men experience childbirth.

Lastly, is what I consider as the highlight and most savoury aspect of this drama—their bed scenes! This came out as a total surprise and fascination to me. I don't know why but it do seems like they purposely and blatantly made each bed "sleeping" scene leave a hint as if they've done the 'deed' numerous times every freaking night! Wu Zhen's bare shoulders were constantly on a roll every single time she's waking up in the morning. The most sexually active CP of all c-dramas I have watched ever since.

Also, I was hysterical by how aggressive Mei Zhu Yu was during their kissing scenes. It's as if he's eating something scrumptious, he can't get enough of it. Specially in Ep.26 when Wu Zi Shu is peeping through their window. Man was GIVING his all—showing all he's got by presenting a spectacular performance.

Another episode of this was in Ep.27 when the 2ML (Mei Si) asked the FL (Wu Zhen) if her waist is in pain, then Mei Zhu Yu literally choked on his drink. Hinting of something they've done before coming to the family banquet. At that point, I just know they've tried countless positions. Haha!

P.S. I am so sorry for dedicating 3 paragraphs just to express how satisfying their off-screen bed scenes are. Cause their actions alone speaks louder than any actual footage.

"Wu Zhen, you were the one who got me involved with this world realm. You can't just abandon me like this." - Mei Zhu Yu

Story - 10, It was smooth sailing, straightforward and extremely entertaining to watch. A feel-good drama that will allow you to binge-watch the entire thing without feeling bored or stress.

Acting/Cast - 10, Highly satisfied of the cast! I have always loved Tian Xi Wei but seeing her here made me love her more. I have never expected/imagined watching TXW in a XianXia or WuXia drama (doing action scenes) since she's always been an adorable and delicate lady to me, so seeing her here being feisty and cool made me adore her more. Small but terrible! And as I mentioned above, this show has become a gateway for me to appreciate Xu Kai better. Hopefully, I can pick up one of his drama again soon.

Music - 10, I genuinely love the songs used in this production. The smooth and soft entrance of the BGM was excellent; it was never overpowering and slowly helped set up the mood for the scenes. The songs complemented the scenes they were used in; and through that, they were able to resonate the emotions with me/the viewer as well.

Rewatch Value - 10, This is one of the best lighthearted and smooth-sailing show I have come across in a long time. I will surely rewatch it if I have time to do so.

Overall - 10, I don't think I need to say anything else at this point. This is a remarkable, entertaining drama I would recommend to everyone.

IF you find my review helpful please let me know.

Moonlit reunion that dimmed halfway

I don’t have much expectations coming into this show. But it was engaging enough for me to keep watching.

My mistake, however, was starting the show way too early. When I had caught up with the latest episodes that was aired, I had to pause midway and somehow lost my desire to continue the show. I think if I watched the show when all episodes were released, I could power through all (by skipping a majority of it).

Let’s focus on the positives and perhaps I will come back to this someday.

1) Tian Si Wei is well casted as lord demon cat, Wu Zhen. There’s something magnetic and cat-like about her that makes this role a natural fit for her.

2) Wu Zhen’s character where she’s strong and heck care about others’ impression of her is admirable

3) The story of second male and female leads. The second male lead might be naive, but he is sincere, open minded and warm. His dynamic with the black snake is also adorable to watch

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.

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 dramas break your heart first, then make every happy ending feel earned.

I have to admit, after finishing The Long Ballad, I intentionally lowered my expectations before starting Moonlit Reunion. I didn't want to expect another masterpiece. I simply wanted to enjoy the journey.
What I didn't expect was finding a drama that completely reminded me why I fell in love with fantasy C-dramas in the first place.
Moonlit Reunion is not perfect. Like most xianxia dramas, it has familiar tropes—hidden identities, ancient grudges, reincarnation, sacrifices, misunderstandings, and a destiny that seems determined to separate the leads. But what made it work for me was how emotionally invested I became in the characters. Instead of feeling repetitive, every revelation added another layer to the story and made me want to keep watching.
One of the biggest strengths of this drama is that it never relied solely on romance. The mystery surrounding the Cat Master, the Sinister Infant, the events from eighteen years ago, and the true identities of several characters kept me constantly curious. Every time I thought I had figured everything out, another piece of the puzzle appeared.
That balance between romance, mystery, fantasy, and suspense was exactly what kept me engaged from beginning to end.

Xu Kai once again proved why he's one of my favorite actors.
I've watched several of his dramas, and what impresses me most is his ability to portray different versions of the same character without making them feel identical.
As Mei Zhuyu, he wasn't the loud, overprotective male lead who constantly declared his love. Instead, he portrayed someone intelligent, composed, patient, and quietly devoted. He expressed love through actions rather than dramatic speeches.
The more the story unfolded, the more I appreciated his performance.
Whether he was investigating the truth, protecting Wu Zhen from the shadows, or carrying burdens he chose not to reveal, Xu Kai delivered every emotional scene with restraint. He never overacted, yet every expression carried weight.
By the time the final arc arrived, I realized that many of the drama's most heartbreaking moments worked because of how naturally he portrayed sacrifice.

Tian Xiwei completely surprised me.
I've always found her charming in romantic comedies, but Moonlit Reunion allowed her to show a much wider emotional range.
Wu Zhen could be playful, stubborn, mischievous, vulnerable, and incredibly courageous—all within the same episode.
She wasn't a perfect heroine, and that's exactly why I liked her.
She made mistakes.
She doubted herself.
She struggled with her identity as someone caught between the mortal and demon worlds.
Watching her gradually accept who she truly was made her character feel believable and relatable.
Most importantly, the chemistry between Tian Xiwei and Xu Kai never felt forced.
Their relationship grew naturally through trust, shared experiences, and countless sacrifices instead of instant romance.

The chemistry was one of the drama's greatest strengths.
Rather than relying on excessive romantic scenes, Moonlit Reunion focused on emotional intimacy.
Sometimes a simple glance, silent protection, or choosing each other despite impossible circumstances carried far more impact than grand romantic confessions.
Their relationship was built on mutual respect.
Neither character constantly needed saving by the other.
Instead, they repeatedly chose to protect one another, making their partnership feel balanced.
By the final episodes, I genuinely believed they belonged together.

Visually, this is one of the most beautiful fantasy dramas I've watched.
The cinematography deserves enormous praise.
Every location felt magical without looking overly artificial.
The moonlit forests, ancient temples, demon realm, and mountain landscapes all created an immersive fantasy world.
Several scenes genuinely looked like paintings.
The color palette shifted beautifully depending on the emotional tone of each arc.
Soft moonlight during romantic moments.
Cold blue tones during tragedy.
Warm golden lighting during reunion scenes.
Every frame felt carefully composed rather than simply filmed.


The soundtrack elevated every emotional moment.
One thing I always appreciate in a drama is when I can remember its music after finishing it.
Moonlit Reunion accomplished exactly that.
The background score never overpowered the scenes.
Instead, it quietly enhanced every confession, every sacrifice, every farewell, and every reunion.
Several emotional moments became unforgettable because the music knew exactly when to stay subtle and when to soar.

What I appreciated most was the pacing.
Unlike some fantasy dramas that become repetitive in the middle, I rarely felt the urge to skip scenes here.
Every major revelation answered one mystery while introducing another.
The story maintained enough momentum that I always wanted to know what happened next.
Even the numerous twists surrounding identities and the events from eighteen years ago eventually connected in satisfying ways.

The emotional payoff made the journey worthwhile.
I often say that my favorite xianxia dramas are the ones that emotionally destroy me first before rewarding me with a satisfying ending.
Moonlit Reunion delivered exactly that.
It gave me heartbreak.
It gave me sacrifices.
It gave me moments where I genuinely thought happiness was impossible for the characters.
But unlike tragedies that leave you emotionally exhausted, this drama remembered to reward both its characters and its audience.
By the time the final episode ended, I wasn't thinking about how much they suffered.
I was thinking about how much they deserved their happiness.
And that made all the pain worth it.

Final Thoughts
After watching many fantasy C-dramas over the past few months, I've realized that what keeps me invested isn't simply powerful cultivators or beautiful CGI.
It's the emotional journey.
The sacrifices.
The trust.
The quiet acts of love.
The feeling that every happy moment has been earned after everything the characters endured.
Moonlit Reunion reminded me why I enjoy this genre so much.
It isn't just another fantasy romance.
It's a story about destiny, identity, forgiveness, sacrifice, and choosing love despite impossible circumstances.
Xu Kai and Tian Xiwei delivered wonderful performances, supported by stunning cinematography, memorable music, and a world that felt both magical and emotionally grounded.
For me, this became another xianxia that successfully balanced fantasy with heartfelt storytelling.
It made me smile.
It made me anxious.
It made me cry.
And most importantly...
It gave me the emotional recovery I always look for after the heartbreak.
