Xu Kai’s handsomeness is on another level here!
Personal Rating: ⭐️ 8.5/10
ML: Mei Zhu Yu (Demon Hunter / Exorcist) – Xu Kai
FL: Wu Zhen (Cat Lord of Demon City) – Tian Xi Wei
As a fan of Tian Xiwei, I was really excited for this drama. Like always, she delivered—her performance was charming, lively, and full of personality. But honestly, even with great actors and strong characters, the story itself felt a bit lacking at times.
Initially, I was very hooked on this drama, but I don’t know why it felt like something was missing—or maybe my expectations were just too high. The characters are great! A badass girl who is the Cat Lord of the Demon City, and a handsome demon exorcist who never thought about getting married or falling in love.
The story revolves around a demon exorcist who works in the Investigation Bureau (he keeps his exorcist identity hidden). He wants to uncover the truth about the heavenly fire that destroyed the city and killed his father. While investigating what really happened and discovering that demons were involved, he meets Wu Zhen, the princess of Chang’an, who secretly has another identity—a half-demon Cat Lord who rules the Demon City. This city is the mortal enemy of Chanxi Palace, where Mei Zhu Yu grew up and was trained.
While working on different cases and investigating demons roaming around the city, they fall in love. However, since they are supposed to be enemies and both have duties to protect their respective sides, it becomes difficult for them to accept their feelings and figure out how to handle them.
What fell short for me:
There are some episodes that feel dragging. The plot didn’t fully deliver on its potential. The ending was a bit confusing and felt rushed… How did he survive? Did he become a cat because his father is a cat? 😅 I honestly expected more clarity and impact.
The fight scenes are okay! There’s one scene where Wu Zhen fights Mei Zhu Yu when he tries to break the barrier and enter the Demon City—that fight was very satisfying. 😁 The CGI is great, and the chemistry between them is overwhelming! I really hope they get another drama together with a better story. 😍
Xu Kai’s handsomeness is on another level here—this might be the most handsome character he has played for me. And Tian Xiwei is so cute 😍 I think this is one of her best characters—the Cat Lord. 🐱
Overall, Moonlit Reunion is an 8.5/10 for me. It’s a decent watch with amazing chemistry and strong characters with a happy ending.. I would LOVE to see Xu Kai and Tian Xiwei reunite in another drama with a stronger storyline. Their pairing deserves something even better! 🥹✨
Bonus: I got a new crush on Wu Jun Ting—he’s so cute!! 😍😍😍
If you want to see Tian Xiwei and Xu Kai on a variety/game show, you can watch Hello Saturday. They were promoting their drama there, and they were so sweet and cute! 🥰
