Amazing Songs with a Cute Romance!
I did not expect myself to enjoy the drama as much as I did because I thought I knew how this drama would play out. However, it was way better than I expected. The great music convinced me to try the drama and I'm so glad I did! Lee Jun Young's (Jun) acting is amazing and I did not expect his voice to sound so rich. Not only that, most of Luna's songs were good and I have them replaying, especially the Let Me Be Your Knight. Although the plot did turn out a bit cliche, the way it was executed was not all that predictable, making it a fun watch. There were some side characters' stories that I skipped through because they were not interesting but the purpose of that story was meaningful. The actors in Luna were also way better than I expected, especially considering how most of them are idols in real life and it's their first attempt at such a major role. Anyhow, I hope to see Jun act in more leading romantic roles and sing more ballads! I recommend this drama for anyone who wants to hear some great music while experiencing a cute romance.Was this review helpful to you?
An old story in updated packaging
If you've watched enough kdramas (and read shoujo manga), then this is already very familiar to you. Hardworking and cheerful girl gets into hard times and must live with a bunch of good-looking men. Main guy is cold but eventually warms up. Other guys end up liking our main heroine too. That's the set-up.If you miss these kinds of stories, are fine without getting any plot surprises, and like any of the leads here—then this may be for you. I really like the songs featured in the series. And it's nice that each idol has his own story arc and issues to resolve, separate from our heroine. The show's greatest strength may also be its short length (at 12 episodes only).
On the downside, I don't like some of this drama's use of old-style "comedy" (like accidentally spitting out drinks unto someone's face or shirt). I don't like some of the shortcuts they used too like the CEO basically acting as the manager for the band (this should be two separate roles).
This show uses all the main elements of 2009's You Are Beautiful but minus the charm, wit and originality of YAB. I watched YAB for the first time a few months ago and I was surprised at how fresh the script felt considering the show's actual age (12 years). If you haven't watched that yet, I strongly suggest you watch that first.
Let Me Be Your Knight is alright. It has nice colors and catchy music. But it won't go down as a fun, rewatchable classic like YAB.

The cream of cliché, with good music
This drama was very uneven. The first couple of episodes were terrible and I almost dropped it, but I finally kept watching and it got better. Then the last two were also very bad and the ending sucked.The worst thing was the writing. The story was like dozens we've already seen, nothing new there. Totally cliché situations, you knew exactly what would happen, the kind of sub-plots that would be explored given the setting.
The male lead was serious and sincere, I liked his acting a lot, he never overacted. He was manly and believable. The female lead was very exaggerated in the beginning, but got better, although most of the time she oscillated a bubbly enthusiastic face or a sad self-pitying one. But she's pretty and overall likeable, although the character's choices are sometimes incomprehensible.
Secondary characters were just "types", the usual types one finds in such movies. Each one had almost nothing else than what could be their main description. They did have a back story, but that didn't add any depth/nuance to their character.
What was something of a saving grace was the music. All the songs were unexpectedly high quality, and well-executed. That's the only thing that one would want to rewatch out of this silly story.

Un drama que disfrutarás, si te gusta el kpop.
Mi principal razón para ver este drama era Jun (el protagonista), ya que antes lo vi en Imitation y la premisa parecía la misma (idols), así que decidí verlo. La verdad es que el primer capitulo fue bastante aburrido y, a pesar de que yo no esperaba una gran historia, me hizo bajar más las expectativas. Esperé hasta que habían ya unos 5 capítulos (porque es una tortura esperar cada semana por un capitulo) y entonces fue la sorpresa. La historia remonta en el segundo capitulo y al menos a mí me hizo querer ver todos los capítulos en una tarde y luego desear que pasará rápido la semana para ver el siguiente jajaja.Algo que destaco bastante es el hecho de que no solo se centra en la historia romántica de los protagonistas, también nos muestran un poco del día a día de la banda LUNA y la historia de cada uno de sus miembros. Fue agradable ver cada una de sus peleas, verlos enojarse, gritarse y hasta llegar a los golpes, pero a pesar de eso apoyarse y seguir trabajando juntos en su mismo objetivo. De verdad fueron el mejor squad y los extrañaré :') Además de eso, sus OST's son una JOYA, no dejo de escucharlas <3
En la parte del romance entre los protagonistas, tengo que advertirles que hay que hacer caso omiso de los clichés y en ocasiones actitudes cuestionables del ML que son muy al estilo de la old school. La verdad para mí fueron bastantes adorables y me hacían emocionar, especialmente durante la primera mitad del drama, pero entiendo que haya quienes les resulte toxico.
En conclusión, recomiendo este drama si están buscando algo ligero de ver, para pasar el rato y sin tener que pensar mucho o tomarse en serio las cosas. También si eres fan del kpop y staneas algún grupo, probablemente sentirás una conexión con la banda de esta historia.

Plot banal mais interprété avec brio
Un très joli drama basé sur 2 points :- le mode de vie des idols (assez bien décrit apparemment, et pas seulement le côté glamour)
- une romance très cute où la FL chaleureuse réchauffe peu à peu le coeur du cold ML.
Les personnages sont très attachants et interprétés par d'excellents acteurs. La performance du CL est particulièrement bonne. Je suis devenue une fan de Jun !
Les OST sont TOP ! (ce qui est mieux pour un drama sur la musique :). Vous allez vous aussi devenir des "Moonlights"... vu le background des membres de LUNA, ils savent de quoi ils parlent..;

ดูแบบไม่ได้คาดหวังแต่สนุกมากกกก
ต้องบอกก่อนว่าเปิดมาดูเรื่องนี้แบบไม่ได้คาดหวังอะไร และไม่เคยรู้จักนักแสดงหลักๆในเรื่องเลยยกเว้นนางเอก แต่พอดูไปคิอตกหลุมรักตัวละครทุกตัวมากกกก โดยเฉพาะพระเอกอีจุนยอง แววตาที่แสดงออกมาคือดีมาก ที่สำคัญคือเพลงเพราะทุกเพลงจริงๆ เนื้อเรื่องสบายๆน่ารัก มีปมของตัวละครแต่ละตัว เสียดายอยู่อย่างเดียวคือตอนจบสั้นไปหน่อย เหมือนตัดฉับเลย จริงๆน่าจะต่อเรื่องของพระเอกนางเอกออกไปอีกนิด สรุปให้ว่าเป็นซีรีย์ 12 ตอนที่ไม่เบื่อเลย อยากให้มี 16 ตอนด้วยซ้ำ ดูซ้ำไปรอบที่ 4 แล้วค่ะWas this review helpful to you?
