Heartwarming
I will start by saying that I love cdramas and I’m a big fan of Esther Yu. When I first watched Moonlight, it was actually my first time seeing her as an actress. At the time I was still new to modern cdramas since I mostly watched costume dramas, so I didn’t really know what to expect but I can confidently say it did not disappoint. When I started this drama I was going through a very low period in my life and I have to admit that Chu Li became a source of inspiration for me. There was something about her resilience, her determination to pursue her dream of becoming a great editor, not only for herself but also for the authors she works with that penetrated right through me.At first glance, she might seem like the typical “cute” female lead: cheerful, smiley, sweet, with expressive and playful mannerisms. I know that some people tend to get annoyed by characters like this often labeling them as childish. But Chu Li is anything but childish. Beneath that soft exterior, she is mature, intelligent, and incredibly hardworking. As we watch her face different challenges, she doesn’t give up. Instead she grows, improves, and becomes stronger in her profession. That journey is what inspired me the most.This drama has a perfect blend of romance and comedy, but what truly makes it stand out is how it balances lighthearted moments with meaningful character growth that can inspire even the viewers and fans of this drama. The relationship development feels natural rather than forced, and the interactions are both entertaining and emotionally grounding.I'm writing this comment after having rewatched this drama and experiencing the same exact feeling I did the first time I watched it too. And I hope that more people get to see and appreciate and be inspired by it. I don't care if most people don't like it if someone at least someone reads this comment and is inspired to watch it and gets to have a good experience while watching it that's all I wish for.
