Hu Yao Xiao Hong Niang: Yue Hong Pian

Great actors can convey so much with just a glance, a stare, or a well-timed tear. Gong Jun can steal the scenes with only his eyes. I have watched several of his dramas and I think this is his best costume drama.

I really like DongFang Yuechu's interactions with Tushan Honghong (and his spirit friends in Tushan as well!). Both main characters are very fleshed out. The special effects are very well done. The firework scenes are beautiful. The colorful costumes are very fairy-like, and the make-up of the fox spirits in Tushan is very pretty. However, the screenwriting of this drama is a bit weak as there are bugs in several scenes (1-star deducted from the full mark).

I've finished watching 6 episodes and already wanted to share my review because I really enjoyed watching Fox Spirit Matchmaker Red-Moon Pact. This drama was adapted by a comic which I have never read. Thus, I don't care how different it is from the original comic, as long the storyline makes sense. The drama plot is compact and the pace is good. It intersperses the current situation and background of the human and spirit races. There were many foreshadowing but it did not give people a sense of disappointment. The plot is quite gripping.

The special effects are cool. The Tushan scenery is very romantic and beautiful. The special effects of each character's magic and spell moves are particularly good - kudos to the production team!

I also want to praise Gong Jun's acting skills. I have always thought that such an eccentric male character must be played by a short and skinny guy. Gong Jun proved me wrong! He is tall and muscular, but fits the role of DongFang YueChu very well. Whether he is acting coquettishly with the fox fairies or getting along with friends, I feel like he is a real teenage boy, childish and cute.

I am an anime fan. When my friend told me that the Fox Spirit Matchmaker was going to be made into a TV drama with real people, I didn't have any expectations for the drama at first. One of the key factors that draws me to a movie or TV drama is the appearance of the actors. I watched Fox Spirit Matchmaker Red-Moon Pact because judging from the trailers, there are many handsome actors and pretty actresses in it. After watching the first few episodes, I am addicted to this drama! The adaptation of this drama is logically smooth and harmonious and is not too different from the original work. The script is solid, the foreshadowing is coherent, and the settings of each character are clear. From what I have seen so far, the production and casting of this drama are all good. I especially like Dongfang YueChu played by Gong Jun - he is the comic YueChu I have in my mind!

I've watched 8 episodes so far, and it's easily my favorite show of 2024! The scenes are breathtaking, and the main characters are beautifully portrayed and exceptionally well-acted. The chemistry between the main actor and actress is surprisingly amazing. The soundtrack is another aspect I love. When the background music plays, it instantly brings me back to my memories of playing those Asian-style RPG games with beautiful love storylines. The story itself is quite interesting, but my favorite part is the fast pace. I can't stand slow-paced TV shows, and this show certainly intrigued me with its quick tempo and engaging plot twists. Every episode leaves me eagerly anticipating the next. The production quality is top-notch, from the stunning visuals to the meticulous attention to detail in every scene. It's a must-watch!

Such a beautifully made fantasy drama. One of the best in the recent years! Gong Jun did a very good job playing a teenager Dong Fang Yue Chu at the beginning, so energetic and smart, very different from his previous roles such as Wen Kexing and Han Ye. This is a very beautiful but at the same time sad love story because there is a huge gap between humans and spirits. Therefore, it is even harder for human and spirit to fall in love and stay with each other forever. It might be set to fail but Dong Fang Yue Chu and Tu Shan Hong Hong still try to fight for it. It's like Romeo and Juliet LOVE it!
