It feels like they didn't expect to do a second season and used everything on the first

I think they gave everything interesting they could think of in the first season, that everything they were left with is a bit dry in comparison.

Script: It's not that it's bad, it's just that S1 was filled with explanation of how Shenyi does what he does, that in this S it's not that special or unique. He draws from blurry images or a covered face caught in security cameras and skulls but it doesn't feel as good as it felt in the S1.

I personally think they didn't do themselves justice with putting the first case as the first case. It's so beautifully written and done on the psychology of the characters and it's so complicated that you don't know who to root for. Even when you tell yourself the law is the law you keep wondering if it's fair. Also the murder method was so interesting and difficult to figure out. Everything after that falls short because of how good it was.

It feels a bit random at times even tho the cases are interesting. Like Li Han's story is so real and well written on the psychological part. I could see myself in her, being lost and afraid, but it felt out of place. We didn't get to see her a lot before so we didn't see any signs that her character is going through some things.

I'm wondering what they're gonna do with the girl in the red dress part of the plot and the weird stranger (Fang Kai Yi). If it gets messed up then I'll be disappointed cause Tan Jian Ci is a great actor and can deliver, guilt, losing oneself to ego and playing g0d, so well. We already saw a glimpse of it in one of his conversations with Du Cheng.

Acting is good:
I think Tan Jian Ci is a great actor. Really good in emotional scenes but just as good with sassy moments.

I hoped Jin Shi Jia will change a bit and have more charisma. He is good with the emotional parts but when it comes to giving orders or just standing there, he looks like a child that doesn't know what to do with his hands.

Zhu Jia Qi is great. All the product placements fell on his shoulders and he was so natural. He is so good in that role it feels like he is Jiang Feng.

Lu Yan Qi did so well with her story. Better than I expected.

Overall the acting is good. All supporting actors did well. All the guest ones did well.

Directing and Fight choreography is good.

Editing is a bit harsh on the eyes. Color grading-color correction is too bright when you look at windows at day time.

Overall, I'm satisfied with it. I didn't expect anything more cause I felt like it'll be hard to match S1. I might add to my review when the show is finished (English isn't my first language so sorry for any typos or grammar mistakes)

Murder mystery with a side of revenge

It was so good, the plot was had me on the edge of my seat. We follow Ok Chanmi as she tries to solve the mystery behind her twin brother's death. She transfers high schools from Busan to Seoul to investigate. On the other hand, you have a boy, having given up on his life due to unfortunate circumstances, who decide to help her while leading a secret double life at night as one who avenges those who are wronged by the powerful at their school. It was kind of violent at times, but super satisfying at the time. I really was loving this drama, but the ending really ruined it for me. I can't say too much without spoiling, but I didn't like how they chose to explain the motive behind the brother's death and how they managed to conceal everything for the duration of the show. Even tho I didn't like that, I still think its a good drama and one that I have re-watched bits of several times.

BE PREPARED

I watched Moonlovers in 2018 and when I reopened my dramatist account I realized it's also my profile pic, so given the fact that I also did a rewatch I need to review this drama.

Also I was very not surprised by seeing that the reviews for Moon Lovers are either a 10/10 or a 4/10, cause this drama is a all in or not, I recommend to not drop it after the few first episodes cause the drama hits in the middle in my opinion.

So Moon Lovers is on my top five of fav dramas and that because it was a really heart wrenching story that literally made me binge watch the whole thing in two days and i could rewatch it again till 6 year later this year, if you don't like historical dramas try it, if you like enemies to lovers try it, if you like obsessed kind of love try it, however if you are not ready to suffer don't do that.
chemistry 10/10, I do believed they loved each other in real life.
music is still engraved in my memory.
The cast is sooo rich and on point.
i recommend this drama I need to share this suffering with more people!

why yall dissing this so much?

i finally got around to watching this series n I remember people on tumblr/x/reddit and here bashing this.

but I gotta say this aint as bad as yall are making it out to be imo.

the acting was great. They're renditions of the og characters were good. it was entertaining and has some really good songs in there.

sure, the product placements were every 10 minutes, but hey, it's what helps them makes these shows, so I aint complaining.

my only tiff is with the mothers but I always feel indifferent when it comes to moms on thaibls so it's not rly a drawback either.

yall complaining about lack of plot. does every bl need some big plot to be enjoyable? I don't think so. this series is great just the way it is.

also I loved mudmee's father. dudes manic giggle when he was threatening half was the highlight of the series for me.


my last 2 cents: give it chance before u judge it based on others reviews.

This made me start watching k-dramas again after a 4 years hiatus!

(this review could be biased by the fact that I actually imagined myself having children with that Man)
let's start by the most important factor that made this drama that good, THE ACTING, Woo Do Whan was too good I was feeling all the distress he was feeling, he is such a great actor that many times is judged only by his (EXTREMELY) good looks but he was outstanding and he should get more reconignotion for that, also the chemistry between the main couple was such a different vibe from the one they usually deliver in K-dramas, it was like they actually were a couple that were in love but then broke up but still love each other, and it's shown in the way they are not embarrassed and they feel very comfortable with each other.
The plot was cool but very tragic and made me stare at the wall thinking about how I am wasting my life not making the right choices.
The music choice was unexpected in the most positive way, California dreaming is stuck in my head rent free.
I would recommend this drama 100000/10 cause it's also the reason I am now starting watching dramas again. <3

Worth watching, so far

I agree with the doctor, not necessarily the teachers. Not everyone has an extroverted personality. As long as they perform the job well, they shouldn’t be expected to conform to someone else’s standards. The biggest problem is the teacher that involves herself in everyone else’s business, but basically accomplishes nothing special herself. The fact that she feels she has the right to question a doctor’s methods while having no medical experience herself, makes her seem a bit self righteous. That’s so annoying. Hopefully things get better as the story progresses.

Thank God I am done watching this!

Two couples, all four good-looking. The first half focuses on Phayu and Rain, with Phayu being clearly the seme. The second half focuses on a similar-dynamic couple, with Pai being the seme, and Sky being the uke. The ukes are both in university studying architecture, while the semes are both working, and are friends due to being motorcycle racers.nk

Pros:
1. Liked the couples always touching, kissing, etc.
2. Liked that the ukes, while still being coy sometimes about admitting their crush/love, still ask for sex.
3. The second couple is very good-looking.
4. Nice work on the motorcycle racing, the crowds, and the drone shots.
5. Some people did not like the ukes being called wifeys and [the seme's] "my boy", but I loved it.
6. The couples touched a lot, and sex scenes were explicit for Thai BL. I loved those.
7. I liked some of the dub-con and non-con and shady wooing techniques. Examples are mostly with Phayu and Rain, as Rain seems to have ultimately enjoyed them, and was never really against the non-con. I frequently fantasize about such myself, where they both really want it.
8. Loved the spanking scene. Wish there had been more of it. Lots of similarly arousing scenes.

Cons:
1. The second half is full of how Pai is a stalker cum harasser. He cannot take NO for an answer from Sky, and is not above using emotional blackmail, stealing of Sky's room key, bribing of Sky's apartment manager, and using fake phone numbers after his own number got blocked. He went too far.
2. The rape scenes -- both in the present and in the flashback. These were real non-consensual sex, and I dislike those very much. I could not watch them.
3. The kidnapping of the ukes -- Rain's was sort of boring, and Sky's was horrible to watch.
3. Dragging second half that I had to fast-forward through very often. Repetitive scenes at the race track and elsewhere.

Overall, the second half was so bad that I had to give this series a low rating. I don't think I will rewatch it at all. I am a gay man, btw, and not a young het woman. I ff-ed through TharnTypes rape stuff also. I think I had best be careful with Mame's works.

A wonderful and hilarious adventure with lovable characters

Wow, what a journey! This drama was a breath of fresh air. It was hilarious and heartfelt and wonderful. The fantasy elements and world building were superb, the characters were so lively and I cared so deeply for them. I really, really loved this drama and the FL was so cute and funny, I really liked her and she was the perfect cast. As were the rest of the main characters too, they were perfect. This story was well written and I loved it, but it drag a little towards the end and took a bit more time to finish than the first 20 or so episodes which I absolutely flew through because I could not stop watching. Be sure to give this drama a chance if you like fantasy and demons, enemies to loversesque relationships (although not quite enemies, just a bit of the dynamic) and found family!

DON'T DELAY! IT'S WORTH... WATCH AND YOU'LL KNOW

COMPLETED 10/10! i wish i could give more. for anyone hesitating because of the comment. Lai.. how about listen to me first and decide by yourself.

it aint a spoiler if you already read the comment section and you still doubt how bad this drama will do. so read it by your own responsibility as it just general talk here.


Add on message: the kissing scene here no joke tho! DAMN NO JOKE! HAHAHAHHA it's more than spicy! it cointains shockness, hotness all together. if you ever watch Yang Yang at Love O2O kissing scene, this one uyyo hahahha same goosebumps i got but in this series the scene really hot + sweet. there is one episode i think the PD is taking revenge on us. HAHAHAHAH I literally can't breathe for that one episode cause the eps full kiss scene. i almost drop my lungs. I dont even have time to breath. HAHAHAH watch it and you'll know. it's not just empty kissing scene but the real sweet and heartwarming one. (Im jealous heh :{ ... MOMMM I WANNA MARRRYYY, FEEL SO SINGLE AFTER WATCH THIS THO

Story: OMG i started with 50% expectation. i never thought i got 100. nope 150. nope.. 10 times percent from i expected!! it surprisingly so good. As it balance comedy + romance + angst so well and divided it with right portion for this genre. I mean for this 'Love Unexpected' series (don't compare it with others) it has 10% angst, 50% romance , 40% comedy. let me tell you! It's rare! cause the romance and comedy is real here! you will know it if you watched first 5 eps tho HAHAHAHH plus.. the good romance which you will hardly found is waiting for you after eps 15! kyaaaa.. just remember their scene makes me wanna scream.

Acting/Cast : P.E.R.F.E.C.T ! perfect actors for each role! oh damn the emotions i got from this drama is like roller coaster. my mom literally ask me ' Woi! Mad already ah?' hahahahha Each eps i excited waiting what will happen next. ( When you watched many dramas you can guess what will happen next.. but in this drama even i know, but i cant help seeing how the actors will deliver the scene. do the comedy there? will i got some good fluffy romance? or will this eps make me irritated) All actor and actress did a well done job but ML got my respect! IT'S NOT EASY WOHHHHH. He's someone emotionless (illness) but amazingly we (viewer) could feel his 1001 emotions. IT STRAIGHTLY DELIVERED OUT FROM THE SCREEN! he deliver his scene so good with maintain emotionless face.

Music: HOH! just heard the opening song will bring you ideas how this drama will lead you to. sometimes we just need to follow what flow has been served to us. take the message, enjoy the plot, the drama, the ridiculous, the madness, the joy, the hotness, the angst. it will give you emotional ride cause *each* eps literally executed well with complete taste. The ending song is sang by the ML himself. It's so good and good applied in the drama tho. I CRIED! and give big applause to the effort of editing tho. The sound effect really MVP hahaha . the scene already funny add on the sound effect..WASSEHHH i can't stop laughing.

Conclusion: DONT LET THE COMMENT HERE CONDEMN YOU! watch it at Youtube then you can see the comment section there. they are so positive. Im not crazy just because in this mydramalist section only me love this drama so much. NO! if you agree, you and I are not alone. so here i am giving this drama a justice to prove how much i love this tho.

Here the link: https://youtu.be/sNtXl813zpc?si=imzXi62rbQ1CSM2b (only first ep the music is removed from the middle of drama, the rest of episode is ok.. no problem with music :)

I want more!

A young cellist + her father’s doctor find an unexpected love.

This couple… *sigh* 💝

The friendship they form, the bond they develop, the love they discover - gahhh, it’s all so beautiful!! The Leads have amazing chemistry and I love watching them fall for each other with every interaction they share. From their first tense interactions to their slowly growing friendship. Then as she’s completely clueless to his hints & he’s uncertain how to woo her. There are so many memorable scenes!! That one where she has an allergic reaction & the way he responds?? SWOON!!! 🫠🫠🫠

Okay, I could gush forever. Onto other things I really like about this.

The ML never looks down on the FL because of her age, nor does he overpower her with his opinions about things. He never tries to control or manipulate her, never demands she change. He loves her exactly as she is and always encourages her to chase her dreams - he’s a total green flag 💚

The FL, in turn, is so supportive of the ML’s career. She doesn’t make unfair demands on his time, nor does she try to guilt him when emergencies arise that cause him to bail on/be late for plans with her. She’s a steady source of love and care for him to depend on. One who makes the ML take notice immediately and set out to pursue and cherish her. She’s totes girl crush worthy 😍

I truly love this drama. I love how they bring the best out in each other. In the safety of the ML’s love, the FL matures & flourishes in her personal & professional life. And under the influence of the FL’s cheerfulness, the ML experiences carefree & happy moments. They have a mutual respect & appreciation for each other that really shows how beautiful love can be. How beautiful it SHOULD be.

Even when stuff comes up or they have misunderstandings/lover’s spats, they both work to understand each other & meet in the middle. Yes, it’s more often the ML guiding the way due to his age & life experience, but the FL is always trying to be an equal partner for him. And I really like how the love rivals are dealt with. In both cases (SML pursuing FL & SFL chasing ML) the ML handles it so well. The scene of his confession in front of his colleagues… perfection! Absolutely adore the way he was only concerned about the FL’s feelings, not what it would look like to his superiors nor how it would affect the SFL. And the way he chased after her - gahhhh!!! He’s such a winner!!

Another thing I think was done very well is their reconciliation. 1) it wasn’t drug out for lots of episodes. 2) in their pain, they didn’t lash out or try to hurt one another (ie: try to make one another jealous, lie that they’re totally fine, etc.) 3) when they reconcile, it’s done. They don’t hold grudges, use past mistakes as a weapon or tool of manipulation, or cast blame. It happened, an apology was made, forgiveness was given, they’re still very deeply in love, and that’s that. Kudos, writer(s)!!

Their moments together are adorable and their kisses make your heart just melt 🫠 If you haven’t watched this yet, you’re totally missing out on experiencing a beautiful love story 🫶🏻

***Be sure to watch the end of each episode for a short bonus video that is cuteness overload! Also, have tissues because this show has the potential to make you shed quite a few tears…
