AI summary

Summary of article:

“Breaking the Moon” was launched as the sequel to “Secretly Can’t Hide” and “Hard to Coax”. It attracted attention because of the pairing and love line of Lin Yi and Lu Yuxiao. However, the premiere received mixed reviews, and the visuals and rhythm were also questioned.

The new drama “Zhe Yue” starring Lin Yi and Lu Yuxiao, based on Zhu Jie’s novel of the same name, has recently launched. This play is the final chapter of the “Nanvu Trilogy”. After the first two works “Secretly Can’t Hide” and “Hard to Coax” were adapted into film and television dramas, this final work is highly anticipated by book and TV fans. The play tells the love story of a young crush, separation to reunion many years later. However, after the premiere, there were mixed reactions from audiences and reviews were polarized.

In the drama, Yunli (played by Lu Yuxiao), who is introverted and suffers from social anxiety, had a crush on Fu Shize (played by Lin Yi) in high school. As they grew up, they finally gathered the courage to get closer to each other. From the time they met until they fell in love, they originally thought they could move in together, but differences in mutual understanding and practical problems led to their breakup. Yunli then went abroad, while Fu Shizhe focused his attention on scientific research. Many years later, when Yunli returned to China, the two met again. The relationship that Yunli actively pursued at that time was replaced by Fu Shizhe, who actively tried to save it, try to let go of past regrets and find each other again.

The cast is also the main attraction of the series. Lin Yi has starred in works such as “The Story of a Rose” and has won the audience’s popularity with her refreshing image; Lu Yuxiao has attracted attention with the role of Shangguan Qian in “Cloud Feather”. The two collaborated for the first time, and the difference in their height and appearance was quite timely. The drunk kiss scene and wedding dress scene in the drama also caused discussion. Some viewers thought that the interaction between the two was natural and had an atmosphere of love, and they had a good sense of the line of this relationship.

In addition to the chemical reaction between the male and female protagonists, the drama also incorporates VR technology elements to create dreamy visual effects through virtual scenes, adding new ideas to the love story of youth crush and reunion after many years. However, these arrangements were not approved by all viewers. Some viewers believed that the caramel color filter was too heavy on the screen, affecting the visual presentation; Lu Yuxiao’s original lines, initial plot rhythm, and editing methods were also questioned to varying degrees.

Judging from the premiere performance, the popularity of the series reached 6336 on the first day, which shows that there is still a certain amount of attention, but the popularity and reputation have not yet reached a consensus. As the final work of the “Nanwu Trilogy”, “The Moon” not only does not meet the expectations of fans of the original books, but will inevitably be compared with the previous two works. Whether the follow-up can rely on the development of emotional lines and characterization to steady the audience remains to be seen as the plot unfolds.
