I have completed watching this drama 4 days ago but it took me a while to be able to write a review as my emotions were all over the place after it ended. I had enjoyed every aspect of this drama and thought it was worthwhile. This drama certainly had made a special place in my heart.

A Compelling Tale About Love That Transcends Beyond The Moon

"Moonlight Mystique" adapted from the novel titled 'Bai Shuo Shang Shen' which translates to "Chasing The Moon" is a xianxia drama that stands out because of its unique elements, leading for an unforgettable watch that certainly leaves a mark of its own. The drama delves not just into the main leads core but it weaves a series of stories together bringing out different degrees of emotions. While swirling on these emotions, the visually colorful cinematography, set design, and distinct character costumes accompanied by addictive OSTs formulates for an enthralling experience.

The heart of Moonlight Mystique lies in its tale about a love that transcends beyond the moon. It takes you to dive deep into a journey which highlights the unspeakable power of the intangible vastness of love in its variousness ; may it be friendship love, familial love, romantic love or self-love, no matter what shape or form, in the end it truly is love that conquers all.

Yeah they definitely went too overboard for this drama and when you watch it, it is actually not that horrible or bad as they deem it to be. Its sad to see such over exaggerated comments drive away those who were actually interested in watching this drama but was misled instead. That's the right thing to do, I will downvote such review too. MDL should really fix their review system and not allow anyone to write reviews when a drama is still ongoing.

Its definitely a set-up and the one behind it is the woman who was shown admiring DYX from afar when he was at a parade for becoming a top scholar.

True. I never judge a character solely based on a few number of episodes because there is such thing as character development. Well I witnessed how chaotic this comment section was before, it seems calmer now. It's just some of the users who left a negative review are kind of blowing things out of proportion. I bet some of them are just haters taking in the opportunity. A lot are enjoying this drama now which is good 😊

it'll be on mangotv on YouTube but I don't think it has English subs or is released yet.

yes I noticed his character development, initially I found him annoying but now I am loving his character 🤭

ikr bring back the 2 eps per days 😭

he fears his wife more than his brothers 😂 I bet it will get messier once the other two son-in-laws joins them!

The never kneeling down to your wife is hilarious, the husbands ate their words. Also, why was it so adorable when Chai An and Yangxi both did it. Liang Han is definitely a traitor of the son-in-law alliance.

Finally caught up with the latest episodes and so far I am unexpectedly enjoying this. I didn't like Chai An and Liang Han's character at first but they are starting to grow on me and I can see some character development. I enjoyed the romance of Kang Ning and Chai An they make such a fun and hilarious dynamic because of their wit, cleverness and schemes which shows how compatible they are, while Shou Hua and Yang Xi's romance gives opposite vibes but I am looking forward to more of them too as they also make an interesting couple. Yang Xi's worldly resolute of not crumbling down for even the most beautiful woman was hilarious, the moment he saw Shou Hua he literally got lovestruck instantly and I can't forget his silly smile he let out the moment Chai An and Liang Han got him all figured out. I loved the sisterhood and I am loving the newly formed son-in-law alliance, excited to see more members to be added soon.

His portrayal of Jing Yuan captivated me too even if that was just few scenes. His presence is different. Although I like Fan Yue too but I am liking Jing Yuan a bit more. Yes, I love how they kept Jing Yuan's look at the end with Fan Yue's personality, it makes me think that in someway Jing Yuan and Xing Yue also got their happy ending too and reincarnated into Bai Shuo and Fan Yue.

Yes he never hated Xing Yue he might have just expressed his anger at her but we could see how he clearly never wanted her to submit to him into marriage in that condition because even he was in disbelief that Xing Yue would be willing to marry him just to save one of her people. We could see him scolding her for that too apart from what you mentioned about the moon. I think the most obvious sign would be how he made the exact same Pavillion in his demon realm.

Exactly. Everything was heavens fault but then yeah we wouldn't get Bai Shuo and Fan Yue. They will have no reason to meet or maybe exist even. It's too painful to think but like you, I also view it that way. When I watched the extra episode there was a clear hint that they were the past Xing Yue and Jing Yuan. Bai Shuo said she was glad she met A Mu and Jing Yuan in Fan Yue. That acknowledgement itself made me conclude they were Xing Yue and Jing Yuan from the past and this time their love finally won.

It's bittersweet but I think that is what makes it more impactful emotionally. Even Fan Yue's last look during the wedding resembles so much of Jing Yuan same goes for Bai Shuo. I have finished the drama last night but I still feel empty and couldn't bring myself to write a review.

Jing Yuan and Xing Yue's backstory hurts a lot. During that arc I felt sad for both of them for some reason I felt a bit more sadder for Xing Yue actually. It's because of the fact she had constantly lived a lifeless life and when she finally found the love of her life and her happiness, heaven didn't allow it. So I understood why she had to act cruel to him, however, I think it wasn't an easy feat for Xing Yue, as she was so deeply in love with him. We can see her punishing herself and trying to seal off her contemplation to the point her stellar powers depleted.

At least for Jing Yuan he was able to hate her, I mean he tried to hate her and express his anger at her. Whereas Xing Yue probably hated herself a lot hence she created that dream. As a way to express her feelings. The dream was her real wish, what she truly yearns for. She's been tormented again because she had to shoot an arrow towards Jing Yuan in the end. Thankfully, Xiu Yan was there to restore Jing Yuan's memories or it would have been even more painful and unfair if he never got to find out the truth that Xing Yue truly did love him but all she wanted was to save his life.

I cried so much in the end because they were only given a brief moment to be together. To express their love for each other. When their misunderstandings were cleared, they couldn't even get to say a proper goodbye. So for me, it wasn't just Jing Yuan who was selfless, Xing Yue was selfless too and it speaks so much about their love for each other.

The scene with him and Fan Yue conversing before he truly left, it's one of my most favorite moment from the drama. It showed a lot about his character. My heart hurts for him too, especially when he explained why he was still able to exist and save Bai sisters. It turns out he constantly searched for Xing Yue all these years. Only to find out she no longer existed in that world. Thinking about that is too painful but I would like to think that the scene with the two stars sparkling was a sign that the two of them reunited and became stars.

Right. I am on episode 38 and the fact that he still constantly searched for Xing Yue even if he had to divide his mantle into half, then when he finally found her, he realized the one he has been looking for is gone 😭

Fan Yue and Jing Yuan shares some similar traits, I do love Fan Yue but I am loving Jing Yuan a bit more. There is just something about him which draws me more into his character, his purple eyes and how he has much more domineering aura. I guess I am suffering from the effect of his majestic presence in the first episode. His entrance was something else then.

I haven't finished watching yet but I think it's the best arc for me too.

the love triangle is okay because the FL knows how to set boundaries and always chooses the ML , while you might get annoyed with the 2ML for all the chasing he does.

I think the realm of resentment with Linglong's side remarks is what made them more self aware of their feelings for each other.
