My biggest respect goes to FL. Due to lowerst budget Mango has. She had to wear a flourished peony custom dress to Weibo night where other actress were dressing ravishing in other to promote the drama. Do you know how hard it's to look different from other people. It was totally awkward. Now she's ripping the fruit of her labour. She truly deserves whatever she'll be getting from this drama. Starting from douban rating.
I'm disappointed to say that 'Moonlight mystique' is an industry plant failure. Despite having a big production team, renowned artists, and impressive CGI, this drama fell short of its potential.
A huge amount of money was invested in this drama, and it shows in the visuals. The CGI was great, and the outfits were amazing. However, the acting was utterly disappointing. The drama casted the wrong actors, which was a major contributing factor to its failure.
I'm a fan of European, and I've enjoyed watching him in other dramas. However, in this drama, he was completely miscast as the demon lord. He doesn't have the face or the presence of a demon lord. He's great in modern settings, but not in ancient or fantasy ones.
The chemistry between the leads was also a mess. The online and offline chemistry was nonexistent. I saw a promotional event they did, and they couldn't even come closer to each other and fans were even telling them what to do to have chemistry. They couldn't even hold hands. It was awkward and uncomfortable to watch.
The only redeeming quality was the visuals, the CGI, outfits, and cinematography were stunning. However, that's not enough to save the drama.
To back up my criticism, 'Moonlight Mistake' hasn't even broken 10,000 hits on Iqiyi. This indicates that the drama is not doing well, even in terms of viewership.
If you're watching this drama, just watch it for the visuals. Enjoy the CGI, enjoy the outfits, and enjoy the beauty of the cast. They all look beautiful, but the drama itself is a mess.
I'm going to rate this drama 6 out of 10, and I'm being generous. As a fan of the actors, I know some might disagree with my review. However, I encourage you to provide factual counterarguments. Don't just attack me without providing evidence.
Check the ratings on various platforms, they all reflect the same disappointment. This drama has been rated low across the board, and it's clear that it's not living up to expectations.
I'm extremely disappointed with this drama, and I'm not alone. Dylan Wang hyped it up so much that even haters were excited to watch. I waited over a year for it to finish, expecting an epic male-centric story. Unfortunately, it fell flat.
Since I'd read the novel while waiting, I knew the story didn't focus on the female lead. In fact, the novel didn't even have a scene with the female lead. My anticipation was sky-high, but the final product left me underwhelmed.
Dylan Wang's acting was particularly disappointing. His facial expressions were over-the-top, and he failed to convey emotions convincingly. When he's angry, he exaggerates it. When he's happy, he exaggerates it. He doesn't make accurate expressions; he overdoes it. As the lead, he couldn't carry the drama to its full potential.
Male-centric dramas can be challenging to execute, but some Chinese actors have succeeded (e.g., Joy of Life and Evernight). This drama had potential, but the first eight episodes were nonsensical and joke-like. It was supposed to be a serious drama, but it came across as a comedy. I dropped it, and despite hearing it improves later, I won't be picking it up again.
A drama needs to start strong to keep viewers engaged. If it doesn't start well, even a great ending can't save it. Dylan Wang, I hope your next project will be better.
I'm extremely disappointed, to be honest. I was super hyped for this drama, thanks to Wang Hedi's non-stop promotion and the promising martial arts theme. The fact that it took 5+ whole months July 23 to December 23. I actually waited for this series despite I'm not his fan, this film had me expecting something epic. But what did I get? A complete letdown.
If I want to laugh, I've got comedy skits on my phone that are actually funny. This drama was supposed to be an intense solving cases and martial arts, not a joke. What a waste of time and anticipation!
Wang Hedi's last good drama was in 2022. That's a long time ago! Babies born that year are now walking and running. He made 4-5 dramas after that, but they were all bad. He works hard, but not smart.
Some actors, like Wang Hedi and Zhang Ling He, are famous because they look good. But they can't act well. They're ruining every good story they touch!
To make things worse, This script was rewritten just to fit Wang Hedi's acting style. What a joke! He's not versatile enough to play the character, so they changed the story instead.
You'd think he'd at least try to improve. Some actors s with bad voices train to sound better for their roles. Actors work on their facial expressions to bring characters to life. But Wang Hedi doesn't seem to care at all.
Even Chen feiyu, a Chinese actor who got in trouble, has a better drama coming out next year. That's embarrassing for Wang Hedi! Chen feiyu has been heavily been criticized for having a successful parent's but he's justifying it with having a good acting skills
I think most Chinese actors need to take time to learn how to act. The Chinese entertainment industry should focus on finding talented actors, not just good-looking ones. Otherwise, they'll keep making bad movies and ruining the novels we love!
Another new drama another set of fans lying in the comments section just to deceive others into watching because their fav is featuring in it even when they're not enjoying it.
Dilraba's a household name and has got both Talent and Fame
You think my fave is chenfeiyu?
I got attracted on the Reuters I see on weibo then I checked out their dramas. obviously, There's different between talent and fame. With all the controversial and hate he's been getting on China and him being a director's son with jealous bitches hating on him. Becoming famous overnight is over reaching. But truth be told. Feiyu is one of the outstanding talents in the industry.

It's not a argument. I'm pointing at the actors major strengths. Dilraba has more Fame than Talent compared to Feiyu. She has talent I agree. But compared to both and their drama I think Feiyu passed
After the iconic 'Hidden Love', I'm excited to say that this upcoming drama has the potential to be another hit…
I want to make it clear that I'll never comment on Lusi's physical appearance, I'm not her fan nor her hater so I don't have the right to comment on that also it's not something I'm interested in discussing.
To me, she's always beautiful, whether she gains or loses weight. My focus is on her work as an actress, not her personal life.
I believe it's essential to separate a celebrity's professional life from their personal one. My comments and opinions will always be based on her acting skills and the quality of her dramas.
