Now, the moon is yours ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
First of all, If you truly want to enjoy this drama, just go in blind and don't let the negative feedback keep you from watching it. As an avid cdrama watcher, I for one enjoyed this drama so much. But also keep in mind that this is coming from someone who hasn't read the novel. But I do believe this drama deserves to be enjoyed on its own.
With that being said, this drama brought me back from my cdrama slump. Despite the controversies surrounding this drama, I fully enjoyed it nonetheless. I waited for 1.5 years for this drama to air so I don't care what other people say. I am very satisfied with it. Especially since it's a HAPPY ENDING!!! HALLELUJAH!
The chemistry between the main leads (aka our moon couple) hard carried the show.
Zhou Ye, who played the female lead He Yan, portrays the female general so well. Strong and tenacious like a soldier, but at the same time kind and soft, embodying her feminity. Sure there are inconsistencies with the script when there are times that she had to be saved by the ml, but let's not forget the many many scenes where she won many battles and achieved great feats on her own. I love love the fact that despite being raised as a man and having to perform as a man her whole life, she embraces her feminity also. She stood for the women in the series and became their voice, because she understood the fact that sadly the women in their time do not have the choice. He Yan's experience in the story is truly a tragic one. Dare I say she's more pitiful than the ml. Ordinary people would have become a villain, but she took her experience with grace and came back strong righteously. Truly worthy of the title the first female general!
Then we have our ml general xiao, who was played by Ryan Cheng. This is the first drama that I've watched that he starred in, and this definitely puts him on my radar as one of the best male leads in cdramas. His personality is truly a breath of fresh air for a general. You would expect that he would be cold and rude, but he turned out to be one of the best ml I've ever watched. Him being portrayed as the moon perfectly describes him. Not blinding like the sun, but glowing softly. Constant yet changing. Like the moon in the sky, he is steady and reassuring towards the fl. Instead of glowing by himself, he reflects his light to the people that surrounds him.
I could go on and on but I would end my review here. I understand that due to inconsistencies in the script, some people had so much negative to say in this drama. But for me, I would give it a 10/10 overall. I care not what other people say, but I only care on how this drama make me feel.
