I need kdrama stans to stop making judgements based on a few bad c-dramas they've seen when there's so many hidden gems out there. ๐ฉ C-ent has so many talented actors and actresses. Y'all just aren't looking hard enough. Chen Zheyuan is just one of the many.
Compared to kdrama actors I felt lot of Chinese actors lacking natural acting..
Their faces sometimes expressionless like they are forcing to act
But

Maybe gatekeeping cdramas is okay. Maybe we should just keep them out of reach from close-minded kdrama stans who make hasty generalizations about a whole other entertainment industry they know next to nothing about. ๐ซ

When he described the moment he met Sol. There's something so bittersweet about it. That rain shower was just like any other to 19-yr old Sol. But to Sunjae, it changed the trajectory of his entire life, painting it a bright yellow. ๐ฅน
#LovelyRunner
Kdrama stans complaining about cdramas having too many episodes meanwhile here I am missing the days when they used to be 70 episodes filled with face-slapping, scheming, angst and death all building up to a beautiful storyline. Y'all are weak. 40 eps is too little! ๐ฉ
Cdramas have come so far. Back then we used to wait agonizingly for fansubbers to sub the eps. It was torture. Eternally grateful to them for all their hard work tho. ๐ฅน
THIS SCENE HAD ME SCREAMING. Tantai Jin's expressions? Ye Xi Wu's coquettishness? THAT SEXUAL TENSION SHOOTING THROUGH THE ROOF? YUNLU CHEMISTRY IS CHEMISTRYING 1000. THEY ARE SEXY AS HECK TOGETHER THANK U FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK. ๐ฉ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ฅ

Two different occasions. Two diff stares. As YXW there was fear, disgust and hatred at the thought of TTJ killing people. But as LSS there was only shock, disbelief and sadness bc now she knows he wouldn't do anything w/o good reason. ๐ญ
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
You ever think about how Ming Ye curled under Sang Jiu's statue, clutching her clam shell, trapped in a dream, waiting for Tantai Jin to come, burning all 10,000 yrs of his cultivation that when it ended he was nothing but ash and bones? Bc I do. Often. ๐ฅน

#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Susu sacrificed sm for her mission. As the Pearl in Hengyang Sect's Palm, beloved by all, she suffered for the first time and bore the burden of the fate of the Three Realms. She gave up love for the greater good. I'll tolerate no Susu slander. ๐ค๐ญ
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
They should've stayed in bed. They should've stayed in the darned bed! Ming Ye deserved an early retirement and a life without fighting wars. Sang Jiu deserved a blissful married life with him, experiencing her love finally being reciprocated. ๐ญ
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
I'm a bit sad we didn't get Tantai Jin with white hair, but overall this scene was heartbreaking still. ๐ญ

THIS IS MEEE! Used to be an avid kdrama watcher then one day I got bored, tried to watch a cdrama, got intimidated by the no. of episodes (58) but then halfway through, I didn't even mind anymore bc I was HOOKED. Haven't gone back since. TMOPB was the cdrama btw. ๐๐ซถ

Sang Jiu always wore shells and pearls in her hair, representing pieces of her home that'll always be with her. But after her clan got annihilated, she stopped wearing them altogether. After all, she doesn't have a home anymore. ๐ฅน

This scene absolutely tore my heart in two and had me sobbing so hard. There's a sense of peace but also sadness, both of them knowing they were at a point of no return. At the end, even gods bend to fate tho the journey might be different. ๐ญ
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Thinking about how alone and scared Susu must've felt during the early stages of her pregnancy. Reeling from the pain of Tantai Jin's passing, now there was a tiny life growing in her. One she was supposed to share with him. ๐ฅน

Rewatched ep 32 and I wondered why Cang Jiumin's right eye was the only one that glowed red. Then it hit me, his left eye was Ye Xiwu's and therefore the only part of him that was pure and untainted. It was the only thing the seal couldn't corrupt. ๐ญ

I need Lee Sieun to write every kdrama romance from now on bc legit no one does it like her!! For so long we've been bombarded with the same old, overused tropes but in just one drama she turned all those tropes on their heads and gave us something new. The SKILL, the TALENT! ๐ฅน
This is the real Tantai Jin. He loves fiercely but he also hates with an all-consuming intensity. And when it comes to YXW/LSS the lines between the two get blurred so easily. He hates what she did but he still loves her even if it tears him up inside. ๐ฅฒ๐
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
I need an Ancient Devil God spinoff. I need to know how exactly he came into existence. I need to know how his beautifully cunning brain works. And I need to see Luo Yunxi in this fit for far longer than just a few episodes. PLS WE (I) NEED THIS. ๐ญ๐คฒ
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Of all the scenes in ep 39, this one sent me to tears. It wasn't intense, nor were there any heavy CGI. But it was precisely its simplicity that made it so haunting. Lulu said in an interview that for Susu everything begins and ends with Tantai Jin. ๐ฅน
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Tantai Jin: renounces Ye Xiwu as his wife
Also Tantai Jin approx 6 min later: VERY down bad for his "not wife"

Reread the BE chapter of Black Moonlight to check what the engraving on the tombstone was and now I'm ๐ซ ๐ฅฒ๐

Drama Ming Ye >>> Novel Ming Ye
What I love sm about d!MY is as much as he is the powerful God of War, he's also a loving husband who showered his wife with affection, something n!MY lacked. Just because you're strong doesn't mean u have to be cold.

Y'know Yunxi was right. Out of all the weddings, Ming Ye/Sang Jiu had the only HE. They had 2 honeymoon phases AND they got to consummate their marriage, all things Ye Xiwu/Li Susu and Tantai Jin/Cang Jiumin never got to do. ๐ฅน
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Say what you want about
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
, but it's undeniable that Tantai Jin is one of xianxia's best written characters. His journey from a cold, Hostage Prince scorning at love to a powerful emperor yearning for just one person to truly love him is such a treat to see. ๐ฅน
I watched this whole scene with bated breath. TTJ's dawning realization and heartache at the betrayal, YXW/LSS's shock and hopelessness when she fails her mission. THIS is how you do a xianxia wedding. I am now in pieces. Numb. Speechless. ๐ซ ๐
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Rewatched ep 1 last night and I realized Cang Jiumin was chained at the exact same place his master was 500 yrs ago. I AM BROKEN. ๐ญ๐
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Susu went beyond fulfilling her mission. She left a lasting impression on TTJ, so deep that even if he didn't want to rule anymore, he made sure his kingdom would still flourish long after he was gone. She loved the world, and he learned to love it too. ๐ฅน
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
I might just be clowning but I'm on team HE precisely bc of this. It'd be wonderful to see Susu and Tantai Jin as the gods who create a new world order where everyone can coexist peacefully. Plus Devil God + Phoenix Goddess visuals together... ๐ฉ๐๐ฅ
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
With the Ancient Devil God's origins explained, things are now put into perspective. From the immortals' pov, he's the big evil who'll plunge the world into chaos unless he's eliminated. He's both hated & feared, their antithesis as heirs of the gods' will.
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Similar words. Diff emotions. 500 yrs in between.
As TTJ, he was more concerned about being the center of her world. The intensity of his confession shocked YXW into a stupor. As CJM, she was the center of his, valuing her well-being over his own.
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Oh this is even WORSE. Might as well ban c-ent entirely then if they're this brutal. Atp NONE of the dramas will air!! They're killing their own entertainment industry. This is SICK. ๐
Dramas have already obtained a license will have to be re-examined. In addition, artists from the same company with a comedian insulting the military will be blacklisted, some variety shows with the participation of them will have to be edited and remove all their scenes.

So the Heart Guarding Scale that was Bingchang and Xiao Lin's wedding present was Ming Ye's all along!๐ณ Mount Buzhao is the mountain where Xiaoyao Sect resides and the place where the Bone-Refining Seal fell into after the battle between the Devil God.

They may be the Devil God's lieutenants but I can't completely see them as evil knowing that they'll be A Mi's babysitters who chase after her antics in the Demon Realm. Give these two days off in the future too Jinjin! (I lowkey ship them lol) ๐๐ซถ

remains to be the best first episode of any xianxia I've ever seen. The smooth introduction of the characters and the high-stakes plot, the gorgeous visuals and superb acting was exhilarating and made me want to click "next ep" as soon as the credits rolled.
Xianxia is synonymous to angst. Not one xianxia is purely peaceful. Someone is ALWAYS dying, reincarnating, taking revenge, fighting and/or falling in love. It's a MESS. It MESSES you up. ๐

One of Sang Jiu's best looks. Very princess. The shells & pearls in her hair. The flowy cloak attached to her wrists. The extra sparkly eyeshadow. Ironic how she was wearing one of her prettiest outfits on the day she had her first heartbreak. ๐ญ

My personal xianxia drama tier-list in terms of angst level & plot:
Beginner: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, Love Between Fairy and Devil
Intermediate: Ashes of Love
Pro: Love and Redemption, Till the End Of The Moon
Do consider watching the first 2 tiers first before the 3rd. ๐

In the novel, Pei Wenxuan was a master at making incense and had a sharp sense of smell. When they still lived together, he made incense/perfumed pouches for Li Rong and her favorite scent was white sandalwood. #ๅบฆๅๅนด
Notice how his gaze changes over time. From cold to intrigued and finally to openly affectionate and loving. As his gaze warms so does his smiles. He only ever does when he's with her/is thinking of her. His first and last, his only true love has and will always be Susu. ๐ญ๐
"Pei Wenxuan, I'm not a likeable person. But even if I'm not, can you wait for me on account of the fact that we were brought together by God in two lifetimes?"
"Don't be afraid. It's okay if you're a little slower."

Rewatched ep 18 and I wondered if the small orb that remained of SJ really was a pearl. Turns out it was. She liked to leave memories in pearls and this one contained her most precious, untainted memory of falling in love w/ MY at first sight. ๐ฅน๐
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
"Yingtao, don't forget me."
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, ARE THOSE TEAR TRACKS ON HIS FACE?? I knew it, not only is Yingtao initiating the kiss now, they're gonna make this scene EVEN ANGSTIER. He didn't cry in the novel! ๐ญ๐

Didn't notice this lil detail before bc I was too busy crying but Ming Ye kept the stars he collected for Sang Jiu behind him and gazed at them after he told her he didn't love her and sent her away. ๐ฅฒ๐
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
This scene is like watching two people meeting at a crossroad. I can't fault either of them. Susu now aware of her true origins is more determined than ever to cultivate the Heartless Way, being the only true god left in existence.
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
I missed this sm. The cute banter. Tantai Jin's sass. Susu being an adorable spitfire. First Shangqing Realm now Jing Kingdom. They really are taking a trip down memory lane. How dare they make this fluffy only to stab us w/ angst later? ๐ญ

Remember this scene where Tantai Jin finishes embroidering Susu's veil for her bc she was having a hard time? This comes full circle in the novel at the end.

The fact that Tantai Jin started wearing white because Susu said he looked good in it and because it made him look and feel clean and not like a demon will always make me emotional. One small compliment from her and he remembered it for so many years. ๐ฅน
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Tantai Jin lost his most loved person and nothing else matters anymore. This scene made me cry. Trapped in his grief, he only recalls his happiest memories with herโtheir wedding day and the veil he so lovingly embroidered. The gods didn't grant his wish. ๐ญ

making two more big changes from the novel. Instead of TTJ getting the Heart-Guarding Scale from YBC, Xiao Lin gives it to him. And rather than Xiao Lin asking YXW/LSS to spare YBC's life, he asks TTJ. Oh Jinjin, I hope you won't spare her. ๐ญ
That face you make when you think "Goodness, my husband is being a dumbass again. I LOVE him."
Li Rong's default face for Pei Wenxuan is such a beautiful mixture of exasperated and affectionate. Yes that's HER dumbass. ๐คง๐

What makes this scene so sweet is that this is the first time TTJ has been the most sincere towards someone. He makes YXW/LSS happy not bcoz of hidden motives but because it brings him true joy when he sees her smile. ๐ญ๐ซถ
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
#LuoYunxi

Seeing TTJ's sincere desire to do good finally moved Susu's heart. She was willing to tell him the truth. SHE WANTED THEM TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER. I am never healing from this EVER. Baiyu, you should've come 5 min later!! ๐ญ๐

The Ancient Devil God wasn't just villainous but also cunning. He ensured he would always be resurrected. The 3 artifacts function similar to a horcrux. There's parts of himself in eachโhis hand for the sword, heart for the seal, eye for the crossbow.
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Tantai Jin can do the Sketch spell w/ sm ease now. It says a lot about how much he's grown as a person, how he's embraced both his past and his present. How he sees the world now, the way Susu sees it. How honest he is w/ his affections for her. ๐ญ๐ซถ
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
You could be extremely talented, skilled, diligent, kind, considerate and possess plenty of wonderful qualities but as long as you're a woman, you'll always be measured and judged by your looks. This society is disgusting. ๐ฃ
No thoughts, head empty, just Ming Ye and Sang Jiu smiling bc of each other.
I really love how their smiles reflect the progression in their relationship from shy & bashful newlyweds to cheeky & affectionate like an old married couple. ๐ฅน

gave us not only enemies-to-lovers and star-crossed lovers but also a sun/moon ship. Tantai Jin was the dark moon unable to make his own light. He tried to mimic other's (Xiao Lin's) but found he couldn't. He needed the bright sun's (Susu) for that.
Forget choking me or draining my energy. If the Ancient Devil God looked and smirked at me like this, I would perish immediately. Best way to go ngl. Zero regrets. ๐ซ ๐
#TillTheEndOfTheMoon
Y'know maybe it's good the Ancient Devil God wore a mask. Otherwise, his drop-dead gorgeous face would ruin the world. Everyone would just pledge allegiance to him. I know I would. Highkey jealous of Si Ying & Jing Mie. They get to see this face everyday. ๐ซ
