Helan Jin Ting is ?
*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)
Title : Moonshine and Valentine – 2018 (Complete 25 Episode)
Personal Rating : 8/10
Helan Jin Ting (played Johnny Huang) is the right priest of the Fox clan. He is the son of Princess Xiyan and a human. As a result, he was born with an eye condition that rendered him unable to see until he drinks a liquid containing the liver of Hui Yan. He is blind in the day, yet he can see at night. In the modern day, He disguises himself as a secretive cultural relic specialist whose face remains unseen to the public eye. Helan Jing Ting is practically alien to people, but no one knows that he is a deity from another realm.
Guan Pipi (Played Victoria Song) is an intern at a newspaper publishing company. She is the reincarnation of Hui Yan, Helan Jing Ting's beloved wife. Despite being beautiful and kind, she often finds herself alone in the world. Because of that, she feels abandoned and hopeless. What she doesn’t realize is that she has been marked with an ancient curse that has been the cause of all of the misfortune in her life.
Guan Pipi’s life was normal and peaceful until she meets a man called Helan Jing Ting. Helan is an alien "fox" who has lived for a millennium, while Pipi is a seemingly normal human. It is revealed through flashbacks that in Pipi's first lifetime, she (named Hui Yan then) was a sacrifice to cure Helan's health issues. As a result, she never lives beyond 25 years old. When He Lan Jing Ting meets Guan Pi Pi in the modern day, he becomes convinced that he can make her believe in love again. But for a man who lives his life in solitude, it might be tough to save a woman suffering from a supernatural, millennia-old curse.
Honestly, I loved this drama in the first half of the series. It has great comedy, romance, friendship, fantasy, and mystery scenes. You will get hooked on every episode. The relationship between the two leads progress at a good pace. They have cute and sweet moments. It was a good slow burn romance. Helan Jin Ting was so cool and handsome, He will really make you fall in love with him?while Guan Pipi is realistic, she didn’t fall him from the start, but she took her time to know him which is cute. ❤️
However, in the second half of the series it started to fall apart. The story was getting all over the place with other unnecessary characters coming in. The back story was good and all because of their love and sacrifices for every reincarnation but there are scenes which are unnecessary. And last episodes were also rushed.
Overall, I give this drama 8/ 10 as the first half of the series was good and with a promising story. They have a great chemistry and Johnny is so good but the ending could be better. I know Helan Jin Ting top priority was to save her and stopping the curse from repeating itself but still its just sad. ?
