I feel most sorry for the actors who had to put up with such badly written roles that make them look stupid.
I had to give up on Song of the Moon... I really don't like the works of this director. He basically did a copy-past of all the annoying tropes from Legend of Yunxi: the obsessive SFL (who has to mumble "I will kill her" in every other episode), the sad SML and the unsatisfactory ending.
The different cases are very elegantly woven into the mystery of the 3-scar guy. I love the way the story runs…
I don't know... I've only see some preview. It seems similar to The Long Ballad: Dilreba is after revenge and falls in love with one of the other side. I like her, so will give it a try. I haven't see Gong Jun in anything since Word of Honor, so I'm a bit curious how it will turn out.

Yes, I'm waiting for this, too. I loved the book. They seem to keep postponing the airing date and I think Legend of Anle will come first, so we still have to wait a while...
The different cases are very elegantly woven into the mystery of the 3-scar guy. I love the way the story runs fluidly and so far without any obvious incoherence or plot holes. The bit about the life-force of one race being used as a recreational drug by another one reminds me of a similar plot line in the novel that became "Back from the Brink".

Yes, that must be incredibly frustrating for an actor. This is usually a major point of contention between actors and directors. In this drama, sadly both the writing and the editing is questionable. These guys somehow seem to think because it is xianxia common sense logic no longer applies.
this is rated 8 but 90% of the comments are blasting the plotline.... should I start watching this?
The bad writing and plot holes become more apparent as the drama progresses and many people are annoyed by this (especially since the source material was coherent and without these obvious plot holes). It would, however, be unfair to punish the actors and the rest of the production team for the poor writing by giving an overall low rating.
It's maybe not a bad thing if they delay the rating until the drama is finished. There are too many people giving out hate-ratings after watching just one episode and they are spoiling it for everyone else. The rating on MDL is pretty unreliable anyway, there are far too many bad dramas with 8+ rating just because there's some pretty idol-boy in them.
Same!!!! The two DNAβs or whatever must clash which makes her sick. What I want to know is why only the Prince…
I think it's something to do with him being from the Qi royal family. The Qi tribes seem to all have very different characteristics. Maybe her father was a dissident and cursed with something that only the royal family can heal... some sort of medical blackmail to keep him in line. It would explain his frequent trips to their territory.
I wish they added Jeremyβs favorite scene. https://youtu.be/6otO5f9Bukw
Aaah, pour JT looks like a bored adult visiting a kindergarden in this clip. This must be a tougher acting job than the actual drama... The fact that the director/editor didn't keep a scene that the ML described as his favourite says a lot about the bad editing/directing decisions that plague this drama.
