So I just finished watching Moonlit Reunion and wow… this drama was such a fun mix of romance, fantasy, and mystery. If you’re into stories that balance sweet romance with a bit of supernatural world-building, this one’s definitely worth checking out.
The story follows Mei Zhuyu (Xu Kai), who’s a serious celestial master by day, and Wu Zhen (Tian Xi Wei), a witty princess who also secretly runs the Demon Market at night. Basically, they both live double lives, and that’s where all the tension and charm come from—sometimes lovers, sometimes opponents. Their chemistry is honestly the highlight of the show for me. The banter, the subtle romance, the “partners-in-crime” vibe… it felt very natural and refreshing.
Visually, it’s gorgeous—the costumes, the sets, the way the drama shows Chang’an by day and the demon market by night—it really pulls you into the world. I also loved all the supernatural touches (talking objects, quirky spirits, demon politics)—it gave the show a unique flavor beyond just being another historical romance.
That said, it’s not perfect. A few episodes dragged a little with side plots that didn’t feel super necessary, and I did wish Xu Kai’s character was written with a bit more emotional punch compared to Tian Xi Wei’s super lively performance. But honestly, those are minor complaints.
Overall, Moonlit Reunion is one of those dramas that makes you smile while also keeping you curious about what’s happening in the background. It’s got heart, humor, and a sprinkle of magic. If you’re into fantasy romance with great visuals and a couple you can root for, this is a solid pick.
