    Another favorite of mine from Cheng Yi. This drama really knew how to capture the right amount of feels, drama, adventure and also deliver those lighthearted moments that I enjoy from my dramas. While this drama did become draggy, I still enjoyed Part 1 a fair amount compared to Part 2.

    I’ll always have to mention Love in the Moonlight because it was the drama that brought me into the period/costume drama world. Although gender benders are not my cup of tea, I loved the simplicity of this drama. I never became bored and I was excited for what came next.
