I finally finished Moonlight Drawn By Clouds! And…I didn’t like it. Now to go find something awesome to watch as a reward before I continue my half-done list (MoA, FiS, MSH).
Mainly the whole thing. I loved the guy trio. I wished we had gotten more of their story and reconciliation. Jinyoung and Ninja (I’m so bad with character names lol) were so interesting but they barely got any screen time it felt like (and yes that ending was so pointless for him T_T). I wanted to like Ra-on but she was just unable to handle anything on her own and then she spent the second half sitting there crying. I love that actress though so I’m glad I saw her in other things first before this. The show had charm and I could see how people really were drawn to it but I just couldn’t buy into it. 😔
Ninja was awesome! I love his hair 😍
Ra On had spunk at the beginning but that kind of disappeared halfway through.
I didn’t like that the three guy’s friendship was broken up at the end 😭
His hair was really good. It looked sp bouncy. Yeah, if they focused on them reconciling that would have been so much better and meaningful than anything else in the drama.
I felt like Ra-on had spunk but was a bit too ditzy at the beginning lol
Oh! I forgot I did love CSB’s character. I think she got short-changed too by the end but she was really cool.
The fact that Jinyoung was completely sidelined was one of my biggest gripes with the show (LITERALLY NO ONE SEEMED TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE DIED???).
In general, I think MDBC had a lot of potential, and I can think of a bunch of better ways some of the side characters could’ve been used that would’ve made the show a whole lot more watchable.
It felt like the writers themselves were a little confused about whether they wanted to focus on the romance, or focus on the politics, and they just ended up not doing either one all that well, which is such a pity, because I feel like the show could’ve been really good.
Yeeeees! I’m a bana so maybe a little bias but Jinyoung did so good at selling his role in everything (and was even a better politician than the prince at times). His death scene (as ridiculous and out of character as it was) had so much omph and then everyone was like here is my single tear and the end. I also hated that it was used to justify the evil grandfather/minister to end his life. I wanted to see him get actual justice.
Yeah I can see that being the problem. They tried to bite off more than they could chew but were able to ride on the charisma of the actors.
I’m too stubborn for my own good so I hardly ever drop, but also I assumed it would get better since I heard such great reviews here. By the time I realized it wouldn’t, I was too deep in that it would have been a waste not to finish it….
Finally someone I can relate with. I loved our two leads individually but I didn’t feel any chemistry between them. This is one major reason I didn’t like the show. Also like comments have mentioned our heroin kinda lost her spunkiness as the show moved on. And I think the politics weren’t gripping enough for me..
Yeah I shouldn’t have watched CwP in between this one cause KYJ had amazing chemistry with YKS. Granted she was reeeeally young in MDBC but still…the elements were there for me to want them to be together but I just didn’t feel it.
I felt like the prince floundered with the politics a bit too much and never seemed to get the upperhand until the end when others helped him. Jinyoung had a grasp on the politics and his part was interesting, but it wasn’t focused on enough. I think they had too many players and tried to focus on all of them without giving any of them service.
“the elements were there for me to want them to be together but I just didn’t feel it” yess EXactly!!
Also this was one of my first few dramas and at that time I didn’t really know the actor/actresses well, just used to watch the drama without knowing the cast but now that you mentioned, I searched her up and she is twenty RIGHT NOW, which means she was SEVENTEEN then?? 😱😱
I did not know anyone could get a lead role at this age and that to in a romance drama!!
I’m still horrible at keeping actors straight lol.
Yeah she’s so young! She comes from being a child actress and I want to say MDBC was her first “adult” role. She was a high schooler in Angry Mom but it wasn’t a romance (awesome kdrama btw).
Haha, I am getting better 😅
Just recently discovered she was a child actress when i saw clips of her , Yeo Jin Goo and Kim So Hyun in ‘Moon Embraving The Sun’. They’ve all come a long way!
Haven’t watched ‘Angry Mom’, searched it up, the premise sounds interesting I think I’ll add it into my foot long ‘To Watch’ list😅
