Over hyped and highly rated Drama but beautiful cinematography
How can this crappy boring drama get a 8.8/9 or out of 10? Have people gone mad? This drama is nowhere near Flower of Evil, and I don't even wanna compare this dull drama with Crash Landing on you, familiar Wife, DOTS, Tale of Nine Tailed, My love from the star, W two worlds, Dr Heo and etc. Chinese viewers should watch this masterpiece Kdrama's before rating this crappy drama. The reason that it's soo highly rated is because Dilraba and Yang Yang alone has 130m followers on Weibo. So most of the people's rating them are their own fans. The plot, Yang Yangs acting everything was bad. They could have added some suspense by making a better plot. Too much kissing and hugging. This drama should be rated 7. Dramas that I really loved were FL acted as an actress were My love from the star, find me in your memory, beauty inside. This drama cannot be compared to this masterpieces.Was this review helpful to you?
Best chemistry between main leads and unique supernatural drama
One of the best Chinese Drama I have watched in 2021. Unlike the normal CEO ML and poor middle class FL chinese drama storylines, this drama stands out. The drama is a supernatural drama where the female lead is a rattan and a alien of another species. From episode 1 the story was awesome and the chemistry between the leads were really awesome. Not gonna lie but Sally Jing was the best choice to play the role of Si Tang, not only is she really beautiful but her bossy acting is really unique which many chinese actresses will not be able to do. Van Zhing was also the best choice for Qin Fang because he loved Si Tang more than his life and wealth. I would recommend people to really watch this drama because it's a completely new type of drama although there are lots of great supernatural kdrama's like Rattan. Furthermore Yang Furi was awesome too, he made the drama more happy and was a really great supportive friend to the main leads. What I really love about this drama is that unlike normal chinese drama's were the lead actor is a CEO, he is cold, cares for many, gets jealous because FL hangs out with other guys and other guys pursuing the FL. None of this thongs are here, although Qin Fang is the CEO of a architecture company he never showed this characters and loved Si Tang more than his life. Si Tang who never believed that love exist loved Qin Fang more than anything and would do anything for ML.Now coming to the reason why I was not able to give this drama a 10/10. Till episode 26 I really wanted to give this drama 10/10 but the ending did not impress me I was hoping for way better. Comparing this drama to the supernatural kdrama Tale of Nine Tailed, both drama had romance and same story line between human being and supernatural being. But the reason why I was bound to give tale of nine tailed a 10/10 was because of the ending. The writer in that kdrama was really smart, to bring back the ML to life he used the afterlife judge character in return for his brother life, ML comes back to life but as a human being and ML and FL marries and lives a peaceful and happy life. In Rattan the writer wasted 4 episodes equivalent to 3 hrs 20 mins of watch time to show kid Si Tang and Qing Fang. And at the end Qing Fang couldn't live the rest of his life with Si Tang because she will die unless Qing Fang gives Bai Yings power. This was really a stupid thinking of the writer and he goes into comma and finally Xi Xhuzu grows up 20 years later and meets Qing Fang who is in comma. I believe that the writer could have done way better because he got time equivalent to a Hollywood movie and should have made the ending more happy.

One of the best cdramas of 2021 but ending could have been better
Love under the full moon is one of the best cdrama's I watched in 2021. Unlike your typical cdramas, with male lead being super rich CEO and female lead is poor and is naive and gullible, this drama is completely different. Watching this felt like I was watching Kdramas. From shooting quality to Ju Jianyi's dressing everything had Kdrama vibe. What I really liked about this drama is that it touched the time travel genre which we could only see in Kdramas. It is only 24 episodes which I think is really good because watching 40 episodes is frustrating. Not gonna lie but Merxat acted damn well as villain, saw him as God Ming but he did really good job here.Talking about Ji Jianyi, she is really beautiful and unlike typical cdrama actresses, she is not naive and dumb. Watched this Drama alongside Dali and the Cocky prince. Ji Jianyi wore really fancy dresses like kdrama actresses and had the vibe as the main female lead of the drama. There is no cheesy kisses or tons of romance here which is why it felt better than most of the typical cdramas. Both lead actors and second leads acted really good, the story was good and this was a high budgeted drama. ML was super rich more than many Cdramas CEOs but he did not show off with sports cars or expensive phones.
The things that could have been better is that the connection between main leads was not upto the mark and could have been better. Like if you watch Dali and the cocky prince you would understand what I am trying to mean. Ju Jianyi and the ml should have been a little bit more matured with their acting, I would say that It will hopefully improve as she earns more experience. Like she should have felt more sadder and should have cried when she discovers she could never go back to having same relationship with the ml again.
Also the writer should have studied more about time travelling, butterfly effect and time paradox theories before writing this drama. Because Ji Jianyi saving the father in the end when he was always meant to die will cause a butterfly effect, meaning the whole future of ML changed. He would never become winter now and the things he achieved or people he knew everything will be gone. Plus her time travelling theory didn't make sense, she was murdered by her ex that day and even if she returns back to 2011 she should be death as she no longer exist. But she revert backs to the day before in her bed which didn't make sense.
Now coming to the thing that made me rate this drama from 9.5 to 8.5 is the ending. The ending I feel could have been better. It was sort of an open ended ending. I believe it's due to making season 2 of the drama. What I feel could be a better ending is that they got married that day, had kids and then 13 years passed, it's now 2034 when moon will again change gravitational force of the earth, they could have shown the window kissing scene during that moment and could have ended well. Or, Ji Jianyi didn't change the past, this means the memories of the ml will not disappear as he will stay the same person and she could have arrived in wedding dress in that time period of herself. But then again I think the ending was like to make season 2.

What I don't like about this drama is the writer making Nanzo have personality like a two year old child. He discovers that he likes the FL in episode 14 and it takes him 7 episodes to say I Love You, even he doesn't say that but FL says first. Moreover the starting seemed really fake, FL doesn't even know the ML but because he pays 2m debt that she owes, she starts living with him and starts a fake couple agreement. Like who does that in 2021? The writer could have made other ways to make them cohabitate and make the fake couple agreement in a realistic way. Then the ML's female employee was really annoying and she was a complete loser. She knows that Nanzo doesnt like her but does lots of things to break of there relationship. The writer should have focused more only the last 10 episodes, it was very annoying, they get into relationship and after every two episodes they start having fights and want to break up. Another thing about Gu Nanzo which I hated a lot was that he never shared any of his problems with the Fl, hides alot of things and this was the main reason why they had fights. In episode 27 when the FL almost gets raped, she calls Nanzo for help but he doesn't care. Like the writer could have made a really awesome scene where Nanzo runs to save her and she forgives him for the rest of his life. And the writer could have shown the last three episodes cute romance scenes and a wedding scene. Plus the second leads were shown too little although there relationship was better the leading actors but should have been shown more.
Overall I enjoyed the drama alot, the FL was awesome and her confident seemed like a novice actress. If Gu Nanzo's character was more brave, confession was in ep 15, ML's female employee was not that annoying and FL acting more maturely too then this drama would have gotten above 9.
