First I am Kim Soo hyun fan, he's my ultimate Oppa, the main lead of METS-my king Lee Hwon! Second, my top favorite drama is Ballad of Seodong which is a seaguk. Third, I am not a seaguk expert since I have yet to watch a lot of seaguk like queen seondeok etc. And lastly, this is my first time to watch Park Bo Gum work - and by the way I avoided liking him because I find him too sweet and less manly from seeing him randomly. But after watching him for the first time through this drama, It is impossible not to like him, my Crown Prince -Lee Yeong!
And so what is my take on the drama.
Can't help to compare it with METS which is the last seaguk I have seen before watching Love in the moonlight. I did not appreciate the historical/wit/political/technical aspects of METS as a seaguk which they tried to show because I can't help but compare it with Ballad Of Seo Dong in which I saw huge difference on how both are written and so I can't like it on the technical side. And on the romantic side - I did not appreciate the love story because I did not like the main female lead appearance, acting and voice in the drama, and so I was not moved by the scenes, did not flutter nor cried. The only thing I enjoyed is watching KSH and his superb acting.
While in Love in the Moonlight - although it is a seaguk - it was not trying hard to be technically good and the drama made it clear even from the first few episodes, and so my mind was not focused on the technical side which exempts the drama in being compared to the greatly written seaguk, rather the first few episodes are humorous, clearly stated a less heavy less technical historical drama - with a touch of modernity and comedy. And I liked it. While on the romantic side, the story is straightforward, sweet and fluttering. Despite of the age gap of the main leads in real life they did have chemistry. And so Love in the moonlight won my heart as compare to METS. If KSH had a different partner in METS -I might have a different choice. (I'm happy to see the young main lead of METS played the main lead of LIML.)
Story:
Even though the set up - Boy pretends to be a woman- Three childhood friends -two liking the same woman - was same with Sungkyuwan Scandal, as the story progresses you'd learn to like the characters and the story that you won't mind them being common. There is actually not a single boring episode, first few episodes would make you laugh - next would make you flutter - then would make you cry and would make you thrilled. Overall, my emotional expectations were met, my heart was filled. the biggest factor of this is Park Bo Gum's appearance and acting,
Overall, it is a RomCom/Melo-drama in a Seaguk Setting - which turned out great for me. I loved it! Will definitely watch it again!
