If "Love" has other name then it'd be "Moonlight Mystique" in my heart.
A top notch Xanxia. If only MDL offers rating more than 10. This drama for me is in top 2.
“Moonlight Mystique” is a drama about Love, Sacrifice, Loyalty, hatred, greed which makes us to live ourselves as one inside this series. It’d make us to express all the emotions the characters in the series expressed. I cried when they cry, I broke when they broke, I laughed when they did. This is one such series which I wanted to take with me forever.
I must mention the flow of this story. Unlike other Xanxias this drama started with the Human realm and moved towards the divine realm and at the very end it again ended in the earth, which gave me a very proper and flawless ending where there is no breakup between the leads, where there is a very healthy, pure and loyal mains relationship which most of the Xanxias lag. One thing that must be mentioned is the equality in the weightage of the role. Instead of “Hero saving damsel in distress” The main leads equally support each other through life and death situation throughout the series. That made me to delve deeper as the series goes on
Talking about costume, The crew really went all out on costume and make up. The CGI, the Action scenes are no joke. Every time it impressed me with a surprise element. The quality of their acting is top Notch setting the bar really high for upcoming xanxias. This series is a must watch to all the xanxia lovers.
The Upcoming are the SPOILERS…
This series starts with the Fan yue (demon king) searching for the person who can gather 5 contemplations {Love, Kill, Greed, Kindness, and Hate} to save himself from a curse. In the process he meets Bai shou who wanted to become an immortal in order to repay the kindness of a person who saved her sister and her from a demon during their childhood.
As the story goes on the collecting of these 5 contemplations divides into 5 arcs, At each arcs they will go through thick and thin with the fellow guardian of Fan yue, Tian Huo and Cang shan and collects the contemplations
……………….(Do not read it before watching the drama—Major spoilers)
I was really broke that I cried a river in Many of the scenes as the story goes on, as Bai Shou gradually fell in love with Fan yue, As she loses their loved ones one by one to save the world my heart shattered into pieces each time someone dies.
Everyone of the characters has their own meaning for their existence, their own choices to make, their own dilemma but at the end of the day It’s all for the love they have for each other.
When the Bai Shuo’s father die in Ning ‘an as a governor for his people in front of Bai Shuo, as she scream loud while the OST plays my tears flowed for the first time in this series. How can Bai Lu act so real? She is really a veteran; can anyone replace her?
As the story goes on the sacrifices made by each one was heart touching and at the same time It was choiceless. The love between all the characters was so true and I was really moved by each.
A childish love – Mu Mu and Bai shou
A Tragic love – Rong xian and Ling Long
An Unattainable love – Mu Jiu and Tian Huo
An Unacknowledged love – Cang Shan and Tian Huo
A Companionate love – Fan Yue and Tian Huo
A parental love – Bai shou and Her master
An obsessive love – Mo li towards Xing Yue and Luan Zu towards Jing yuan
A sisterly love – Bai Shuo and Bai Xi
A forbidden love – Chong Zhao and Fu ling
and
Finally,
An Eternal, fated, sacrificial, unconditional, therapeutic, Dependent love ---- Bai Shuo/ Xing Yue and Fan Yue/ Jing yuan
The story is centred around love and at the end “LOVE WINS ALL”. I must mention the Chemistry between the leads which was woahhh too too too good and in every kiss they share my heart fluttered like anything. Hats off Bai Lu and Ao Rui Peng, the chemistry was deep.
As the story goes Each character will lose their loved one either as a sacrifice for the other or killed by the villain. The one which shattered my heart was Tian Huo’s death. All through the journey she lost her loved ones in each step and walked the path of loneliness with only one thing that’s her loyalty towards Fan Yue. When she sacrificed herself for Bai Shuo, Fan Yue and died in the arms of her master(Fan Yue) to whom she showed unwavering loyalty till the end.
Ao Rui Peng from a naughty and mischievous Jing Yuan to Cold, responsible Fan Yue and Bai Lu from cold, responsible, alone Xing Yue to Carefree, mischievous Bai Shuo, the dynamics of their acting is worth to tell that they delivered the best ever Xanxia.
The director didn’t forget to give the surprise element which mad me Dumbfounded: Especially when Bai xi was the divine bow and when Bai Shuo became Supreme deity Bai Shuo rather than Supreme Deity Xing Yue, Stronger than Xing Yue due her strong Love.
At the end of the day, the entanglements and love showcased in this drama is endless until the end which is impossible in real. It was a therapy for me where I lived in a Fantasy for a while.
This drama destroyed all the other dramas in my favourite list and reached the top.
I thank each crew member(Especially the Screen writer, Director, Costume designers, Actors and the staffs who took care of the actors) for giving me this drama which I can cherish forever. I wanna bow to all the actors who did everything to deliver a Marvelous “Moonlight Mystique” Which can’t be replaced in my heart.
"Only when the right people meet at the right time, can they be together forever. I spent 60,000 years searching for Xingyue, but only now I realize that, Xing Yue, the lunar lord, is long gone. then Jing Yuan, the Demon Lord, has no reason to stay in the world. Being able to see her one last time, I'm content. Perhaps, my awakening was meant to bring you two together after 60,000 years"
- Jing yuan (I cried a river after this for a long time) This is my favourite line in this drama.
Thank you, Crew,….
