Stunning visuals in the demon world
What I liked about Moonlit Reunion at first was the world and the setting.
Demon City felt unique and the opening episodes had a nice balance of mystery and fantasy.
I especially enjoyed the demon market scene, it looked magical and full of life almost like stepping into a fairytale.
Those moments made me excited to see where the story would go.
Xu Kai and Tian Xi Wei also did a good job portraying their characters and visually they are very charming on screen which made it even more enjoyable to watch.
As the drama went on, though, I felt the main plot started to lose focus. Wu Zhen’s journey and her relationship with Zhu Yu were supposed to be at the heart of the story but instead too much time was spent on side plots about supporting characters that didn’t add much.
Some of these side stories were quirky and fun at first but they dragged on and ended up taking the spotlight away from the leads.
Rather than deepening the mystery of Demon City or giving more depth to Wu Zhen and Zhu Yu’s bond, a lot of screen time went into side relationships and conflicts that felt unimportant.
This made the pacing uneven with too much filler in between.
I really wanted to see Wu Zhen and Zhu Yu’s romance develop naturally but because the drama spent so much time on the extra characters, their connection felt weak and underdeveloped.
The mystery of Demon City also had great potential but it often got pushed aside instead of being explored further.
Still, I can’t deny that the atmosphere, creative sets and lighter tone made the show easy and pleasant to watch.
For me, Moonlit Reunion is beautiful to look at and fun in parts, but the main story gets buried under too many unnecessary side plots.
