A very exciting drama for adventure lovers
Okay first Tama I don't know many people say they don't like the chemistry between tushan honghong and yuechu. Many people also say that this drama is too far-right. Come on, adventure dramas won't be fun without humor, just like western travel. Full of humor and adventure!Basically this drama follows the animated series, in my opinion it has exceeded what I thought, more like a western film adventure that is light and not heavy.
As for romance, it looks like we'll see that in a bit. I like Gong Jun's acting, here he shows another thing, namely his active nature.
For Yangmi he looks Badas as a fox leader, and I really like his cool style.
Cinematography, oh, there's no doubt that Chinese dramas are already at Marvel level.
I think the OST would be more indulgent if there were elements of magic and fantasy in it.

Snooze-Fest!!!
"Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact" sounded like it was going to be a blast, especially with Yang Mi in the mix and all that flashy CGI. But man, was I let down!First off, the story moves slower than a snail on a Sunday stroll. I mean, halfway through, I was still waiting for something exciting to happen! And don't even get me started on Shi Ji's constant resurrections. It's like they're trying to beat a dead horse... literally.
Then there's the chemistry between Yuechu and Honghong. Or should I say the lack thereof? I mean, come on, if I wanted to watch two planks of wood interact, I'd go watch paint dry.
Oh, and let's not forget about the side love stories. They were like tiny crumbs of romance in a desert of blandness. I mean, I couldn't care less about those characters because they were as flat as pancakes.
And get this: I could watch a whole 45-minute episode in under 20 minutes and still know exactly what happened and what's going to happen next. Talk about predictable! It's like they're not even trying to keep viewers on their toes.
I had such high hopes for this drama, but it just didn't deliver. Sure, the CGI and VFX were pretty, but that's about the only good thing I can say. Overall, it's a snoozefest that's not worth wasting your time on.

Excellent and a must-see drama!
After a yearlong waited for another drama of Yangmi is finally here. I’ve seen so many Chinese TV series, but it's the first time I've seen such a top-notch lineup of handsome actors and beautiful actress in a single drama. Excellent and beautiful Yangmi paired up with marvellous, mischievous and funny Gong Jun, make the drama very strong, exciting and addicting love story we must see. With solid character and sophisticated acting from Yang Mi and Gong Jun, make them the best couple I have seen so far.At first, after watching the animated version, I thought Tushan Hong Hong would be a very boring person, because of her emotionless and monotones character, but it turned out the character can be played beautifully with Yangmi’s excellent and matured acting, combining with Gongjun’s much improved acting skill.
To add, every actor’s acting skills are very good and natural, backed with beautiful setting, make up and fantastic costumes, make this series a powerhouse drama which you can’t afford to miss.

Repetitive
This is the problem with C dramas (and to some extend, K dramas too)... if a person is famous for a role, she/he gets to repeat it as many times as there are fans to watch it.I was a huge fan of YM in Eternal Love ... amazing story, actors, chemistry, songs, ... everything... perfect 10+
But do I need to see it in re-iterations and in a plot that's so trite? Probably not, especially, the same actress playing a similar role.
I gave up after 3 episodes ... she acts very wooden in this drama. Side-by-side, she looks like his teacher or older sister. While mismatched age in itself is not a problem if there is chemistry, I just don't feel it ... story is predictable.
I guess what it is that the plot is not fresh - same old story that has been shown many times. And the intro doesn't make the story engaging ... I didn't feel invested in the characters ...
I guess I am NOT some one who watches drama because of an actor/actress ... I watch for content and acting. So even if my favorite idol is in the show, I am not going to waste my time. I rather rewatch the show that she/he was good in than watching new ones. Yes, I have rewatched Eternal Love at least 5 times. :-)
I am going to wait for better ones in June ... meanwhile, K drama is killing it this year with 2 amazing shows: Queen of Tears and Lovely Runner.

Similarity fairy swords love and protection of demons drama
The background CGI quality is awesome and as for the storyline is similarity of fairies' dramas protection of the realms etc.For the actors acting skill
Yang mi has stiff and stern facial expression regardless in any moment and interacting with male lead Gong Jun has no chemistry at all and i could see the age gap between them only causing some awkwardness.
Actor Gong Jun is optimistic, cheerful and expressive and another actor Wei zhe ming is witty and mystery
overall acting rating for these two male leads are 9/10

TRAILER ESPECTACULAR. Drama decepcionante.
Me sentí estafada.Esperaba muchísimo más de este drama, el elenco, los disfrases, esperé demasiado de este drama. Abandoné en el episodio 10, ya en el 5to episodio quería dejarlo pero aguanté por si cambiaba un poco el ambiente entre los protagonistas, pero no. La diferencia de edad y madurez entre los protagonistas hizo que dejara el drama, la historia no me convenció y los guiones creo que fueron muy pobres.

It is just another xianxia. All is predictable from episode 1.
Good versus evil? Check. Of course. Simple good versus evil. Just some people want for power and domination versus some people want for peace and love.Decisive battle as prolog? Check. We can predict another decisive battle near or in the end.
The downfall of evil side? Check. Here we have team black fox versus good fox. We can predict a coming back.
A happy go lucky ML with sad childhood turned into a hero? Check. He is orphaned and predictably will grow to be a chosen one and do great sacrifice later near or in the end, I predict.
A heroic FL turned into a brainless lover? Check. She will be stupid somewhere in the story and lose her badass-ness out of love. Her ooold age won't make her wiser.
A peaceful like fantasy world where people idle and laugh and act like child everyday? Check. It will be destroyed.
An object with powerful magic that keep everything at place? Check. A powerful tree that needs to be protected? What else we got? It will be corrupted.
I drop this one. Finding that it will be 36 episode for a drama full of tropes is too much. It will be boring like hell. Either Yang Mi or Gong Jun won't save this one. If you like it, just go for its nice visual and maybe steamy romance (?), but if you have a bit more intelligence, the story will drought you down. The wardrobe is too beautiful for "fox" spirit clan. Looks too humane and too cute. The battle/ fight scene lack elaboration and complexity. They just shows "typical hand movements" (you know what I mean?) and the enemy is dead, turned into powder. Meanwhile, in other scene, other spirit is died with cut in his throat like a human. How bad is the internal consistency and worldbuilding. This drama celebrates love and romance too much and lacks exploration toward other underexplored themes like justice, self struggle, fight for destiny, compassion toward out-group/ fellow human/ other creatures, simple happy life, adventure and richness of life, etc. Just another xianxia. Watching or not watching this won't make your life better or worse. Sorry, if I am harsh. I'd be better re-watching "Till the End of the Moon" or "Love and Redemption" in the same genre instead of watching this one.
