I need to thank dramas for making it clear for me whether I am totally in love or in hate with the cast or preview because then it’s easier to dive in fully or avoid completely. Xianxia C-drama Moonlight Mystique was already on my meh list despite liking female lead Bai Lu I find male lead Ao Rui Peng’s face totally off-putting that I like cannot watch him onscreen. Sorry not sorry, he may be objectively still good looking but his looks are so not my thing. Then came the first stills that made the drama from costume to hair to backdrop look like a elven rager held in Willy Wonka’s factory exploded into a mashup. The drama wrap filming last week and the production released the first teaser and I watched it with my mouth wide open and when it ended I chuckled thanking the production for making it so easy for me to skip this drama with a ten foot pole. The teaser is tonally all over the place and I just can’t take any of the characters seriously with how ridiculously overwrought everything looks.
