"May I be like the stars, and you, like the moon.”
Never wrote a review on this site before, but this drama made me do it haha.
First of all, I've been a Bailu stan since OFL in 2023 and ever since, this is my 1st ongoing Bailu drama, so I've been pretty hyped up since the beginning. However, even if I were not a Bailu stan, I'd still give the same ratings because this drama is just that good
*﹆𖤐𓂃• Plot/Story -
I actually love the plot so much. It starts with Bai Shuo, who wants to become an eternal to repay a divine being who saved her when she was a kid. She then meets Fan Yue, the demon king of the Bright Moon Palace who is in possession of the 60000 year old contemplation stone. The stone goes inside Baishuo's body and it is the start of Bai Shuo and Fan Yue's journey of finding the 5 contemplations to activate the stone - kindness, kill, love, hate and greed. Every contemplation arc had a well written story. I loved how they gave so well written plots even to the minor characters, everyone stood out. My favorite one might be the fox clan's story, they had me in tears from the start till the end. Jing Yuan and Xing Yue's story was also so beautiful and tragic. They deserved to live happily ever after, if only it wasn't for rules of the heaven.
*﹆𖤐𓂃• Bai Shuo and Fan Yue, our leads -
Chemistry on top>>>
Don't you just love seeing a couple in a xianxia drama who actually know how to communicate and avoid misunderstandings that last hundreds of days or hundreds of years? Bai Shuo and Fan Yue's relationship might be one of my all-time fav in any historical dramas. They had such a strong bond that build up with each episode and turned into something stronger and stronger.
Bai Shuo is one of the BEST female characters in xianxia dramas. She is extremely smart, that's what sets her apart. Over the episodes, we've seen an immense growth and development in her character. Bailu nailed as always. She never fails to deliver, her choice of dramas are always good and she always gives so much life to her characters.
Fan Yue, oh Fan Yue, I just love Ao Ruipeng as FY so much. This was my introduction to Ao Ruipeng, and trust me, I'll be staying!! He gave so much justice to this character. His portrayal of Fan Yue/Mumu/Jing Yuan.....he really made it seem like all of these characters were different. I'm just so glad FY came back in the end because if he did not, I was really going to sue the writers for all the emotional damage🙂↔️
Also, let's talk about the kisses🤭 We were so well fed with all those kiss scenes.
*﹆𖤐𓂃• Fuling and Chong Zhao, our 2nd couple -
A couple that were doomed from the start. We could all tell from the beginning they were never gonna get a happy ending :( An eternal who hates demons, and a demon who is evil, I really couldn't picture them falling in love because of their early interactions. Enemy to lovers done right. CZ actually had already started caring about her and falling for her even before he found out she was BX, so that's enough for me haha. They both had such a sad life, they both were used, and in the end, they both had to sacrifice themselves. I shed so much tears when it was revealed that Bai Xi was actually the divine bow, like wdym her life was already doomed from her birth, she was meant to be sacrificed😭 same with CZ, with him being the vessel for hidden lord, he was doomed to be killed/sacrificed. I really need to see them in a modern drama as the leads, let me pretend it's their 'another life where they live as an ordinary couple who has 2-3 kids' 😭
*﹆𖤐𓂃• Cinematography and OST that is top tier -
First of all, the cinematography is tooooooo good. My eyes were blessed with all those beautiful scenarios. And the OSTs, this will go down in history as one of the cdramas with the BEST OSTs of all time. I loved every single OST, my favorite being the ending theme by Zhou Shen.
*﹆𖤐𓂃• Ending -
With all the sacrifices, by the final episode, I had already given up tbh. At first, I was like, 'were all these sacrifices even necessary?' But then, without their sacrifices, it would have been impossible to win over Moli. I am just glad they brought FY back, that's enough for me now😭 Idk if I'd call it a happy ending or a sad ending tho, but I'm just glad BS and FY had a happy ending.
*﹆𖤐𓂃• Final Review -
I'd say this was such a great start to 2025 dramas. I'm glad I started my 2025 with this drama, it was honestly a rollercoaster ride of emotions. But most of all, I enjoyed watching this a lot. It had everything I wanted in a drama. A solid rewatch material, with a solid plot and a solid cast, best osts and best cinematography and good acting from everyone. I'd highly recommend this drama to anyone. I'm sad it's over, but I'll always come back to this drama. Goodbye Bai Yue Fan Xing 👋
A 10/10 for me.
