Danem-se, eu vou passar pano sim!

Em meio a tantas polêmicas que envolvem essa série, venho aqui dar minha humilde opinião. Assisti essa série em 2017, e como via um ep por semana e acompanhava os comentários, posso dizer que fui influenciada em alguns momentos.
Decidi rever essa série agora (12/22), e depois que a maratonei confesso que minha visão sobre ela mudou drasticamente. Óbvio que existem muitos problemas, mas muitas das polêmicas foram fruto de hipocrisia, e em minha visão, desnecessárias.

Situando a história no tempo, ela foi gravada em 2017, em Taiwan, país que além do preconceito asiático, carrega o fardo de ter feito parte da China até 1949, e creio que em questão de homofobia a China é um dos países que tem esse traço mais acentuado, e apesar da separação dos países a herança histórica de preconceito ainda persiste até os dias atuais.

Dito isso, vamos falar do roteiro. Simplificando tudo, Yan Fei, um jovem executivo que tem um namorado, está se afogando, e é salvo pelo estudante Sua Hai Qing, que é pobre, aspirante a universitário e mora com seu pai e avô, que tem Alzheimer. Num impulso eles se beijam e Yan Fei passa seu número para Sua Hai Qing , que acaba tendo seu celular quebrado e o contato não acontece. Ambos parecem ter se apaixonado à primeira vista, mas como não se encontram mais a vida segue, e Sua Hai Qing conhece Pin Ju, que gosta e cuida dele com carinho e por isso ganha seu afeto. Enquanto isso Yan Fei segue em seu relacionamento conturbado. Eles se reencontram 1 ano depois por algo que só pode ser descrito como acaso do destino. Nesse encontro, Yan Fei ainda tem um namorado e Sua Hai Qing está namorando com Pin Ju, porém não resistem e acabam ficando juntos, e aí os problemas acontecem, pois os relacionamentos de ambos vão entrar em conflito com o amor que eles querem viver. Esse é um resumo.

Não sei se o problema é exatamente o roteiro ou a direção, ou se houve cortes que deixaram algumas partes sem sentido. O beijo inicial dos personagens não foi muito lógico, ok, mas quem nunca beijou alguém por impulso atire a primeira pedra. Os personagens somem da vida um do outro? Sim, mas é notório que Sua Hai Qing passou um bom tempo em sua busca por Yan Fei antes de perder a esperança e se entregar a outro relacionamento. Yan Fei por sua vez, também dá todos os sinais de não ter esquecido aquele beijo e de não amar mais o seu namorado. Existem alguns momentos na história em que temos a impressão de que uma parte foi cortada, de uma cena pula para outra completamente fora de contexto. O romance de Sua Hai Qing e Yan Fei, após o reencontro, não tem desenvolvimento algum, num minuto eles se reencontram e no minuto seguinte estão em algum lugar distante viajando, os saltos temporais não fazem sentido e deixam o telespectador com uma sensação de não entender o que está acontecendo, os diálogos onde eles combinam as explicações para as fugas não aparecem, não tem uma continuidade, uma cronologia exata.

A construção do personagem Sua Hai Qing é negativa. Um rapaz mimado, muito provavelmente pelo avô, já que ele não tem mãe e seu pai é linha dura, sendo que esse mesmo avô que o criou e mimou, agora ele maltrata com sua impaciência.
Além de mimado, ele é egocêntrico e indeciso, além de não ter responsabilidade afetiva nenhuma. No dia em que Pin Ju mentiu por estar tirando as fotos, ele simplesmente surtou e disse que não podia suportar mentiras, mas no episódio seguinte estava traindo o pobre Pin Ju. Mesmo quando ele sabe que seu amor é Yan Fei ele não consegue abrir mão de Pin Ju, talvez com medo de trocar algo certo pelo duvidoso, mas sem se preocupar realmente com os danos que está causando ao coração dos dois amantes. A presença do personagem do avô serviu para mostrar o lado ruim de Sua Hai Qing , e a do pai não serviu para muita coisa, pois o grande plow twist que poderia ter acontecido, com brigas dramáticas, não aconteceu. Apesar disso, consegui sentir empatia por Sua Hai Qing. Ele ficou com Pin Ju pois não tinha mais esperanças de rever Yan Fei, quando o reencontro aconteceu, infelizmente não se pode controlar o coração, tenho que passar esse pano pra ele, nesse aspecto, mas não nos demais.

Pin Ju é um personagem carismático, mas no meio do caminho virou um fantoche disposto a aguentar a traição para não perder Sua Hai Qing, e no final foi o mais digno de todos, tomando a decisão que Sua Hai Qing não tinha coragem de tomar e resolvendo com sua dor a vida de todos. Sua irmã é uma fofa, super madura e não fez julgamentos sobre o caráter de ninguém, acolhendo a todos.

O personagem Yan Fei é para quem mais eu passo pano. Ele era comprometido quando beijou Sua Hai Qing , mas fica claro que esse relacionamento dele não tinha amor, era praticamente unilateral, o namorado era imaturo, e por ser assumido queria tirá-lo do armário à força, mas depois eu pude entendê-lo melhor, e ver que ele agiu por impulso por causa da falta de atitude de Yan fei, como um grito desesperado de "me mostre que me ama por favor", o problema era que Yan fei não sentia a mesma coisa, e isso é algo que não se pode forçar, tanto que quando ele ficou com Sua Hai Qing reuniu coragem e contou tudo à sua mão preconceituosa, que por sinal, ao fim da série e dos 4 especiais, não foi explicado o que ela fez a respeito, se aceitou ou não. O namorado mostrou dignidade quando abriu mão de tudo e foi embora sem se despedir.


Sobre a atuação que teve tantas críticas, eu só consegui avaliá-la quando me distanciei dos meus valores para olhar a coisa de forma técnica, afinal, eu não posso julgar uma obra inteira de forma negativa por achar errada a traição, sendo que ela faz parte da trama. Depois que fiz isso, posso dizer que gostei das atuações. Os atores convenceram em seus personagens e sendo bem sincera, simpatizei de verdade com os três protagonistas, torci por Yan Fei e Sua Hai Qing, mesmo gostando de Pin Ju, já que não é possível nem mesmo na vida real decidir de quem gostamos.

Sobre a ost, uma das melhores que já ouvi em BL'S. A cinematografia não foi lá essas coisas, mas deixei passar esse detalhe.

Sobre os episódios especiais, temos 4, cada um deles tem menos de 10 minutos, e aqui no Brasil só chegaram a traduzir os 3 primeiros. Apesar disso eu vi o quarto, e preferia não ter visto, então, se vc está lendo essa resenha e pretende ver a série, não se ocupe em procurar o quarto especial, pois possivelmente vc vai passar muita raiva. Nos 3 primeiros especiais, Sua Hai Qing volta da América e passa a viver um conto de fadas com Yan Fei, casadinhos, se amando e sendo felizes. No 4º especial tudo se esfarela e aparentemente os três especiais foram apenas um sonho, ou um delírio de Yan Fei, e na verdade Sua Hai Qing não voltou.

Enfim, eu gosto dessa série. Assista com a mente aberta, sem hipocrisias, já que a vida não é perfeita.

DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS!!!


I have so much love for this drama you have no clue (And I finished it in a day). BUT, there are moments I wanted to tear my hair out. Ok, at the beginning when Hai Qing saves Yan Fei from drowning , Yan Fei kisses him for it?? They never met before, Yan Fei also has a boyfriend.... what? Like, Hai Qing didn't even tell him his name and Yan Fei didn't ask him to go out for saving him. It was I see you, I'm going to corner you, I'm going to make out with you, then say thank you, then ask for your name and give you my number, but never give his own.
There was also the fact that the moment this happens his phone was thrown into the pool, and every chance they got to almost seeing each other again was a near miss, by a minute at least.
Also, that after they meet again, Yan Fei immediately starts acting like his lover. Immediately. Then at the office when Yan Fei saw Hai Qing, he didn't even hesitate. He grabbed him, and went to the stairs, and made out with him. Then after that they have sex. Like WTF.
Don't get me wrong, them as a couple is cute. But the fact that right after they do it, Yan Fei tells Hai Qing that he loves him. HUH? I just find that in these dramas, some of them toss around the meaning of love like candy.

Now the ending. Oh lord, the ending. Ping Jun breaks up with Hai Qing, because he realizes that they can't be happy together anymore, and I believe that was a smart decision, one he should've made 2-3 episodes before. Hai Qing "moves" into Yan Fei's home for a bit, and then leaves for the States right after. Like what?
I mean I get he didn't really think through his father's proposition, but the amount of time he spent getting into college, and now finally being able to be with Yan Fei without complications, he's like f*** it, I'm going to go study in America for 3 years, and gives Ping Jun a postcard that tells him to be happy, while we get a scene where Yan Fei looks so sad sitting alone drinking wine and having dinner in the dark. Like damn.
Anyway that's my fresh post-watch rant.

I cannot give this movie a good rate

they waste so much times focusing on relationship which is not their main relationship in this movie.. 7 episode 7 episode the plot is about them with others... I mean be for real...
at one point I feel bad for the support male character who loved hai xing support him be by his side.... because the relationship is focusing on them more than the main....

this movie actually can give you the most romantic feeling if they put it right... but its so bad I just cannot...
like this is a Noooooooooooooooooooo...
okay they can of course made plot about the side relationship... but at least after that they can give us the main pair plot more... more time together but noooopppppppp... they want us to suffer more.....


its a D- for me

My opinion

I have read quite a few reviews about this show after I watched it and I can see why some people like it but it cannot be me sorry sis.
I just feel so bad for Pinjun my heart aches. Like I know this is very realistic and life is not fair, but this is why I watch dramas to escape the cruel world kinda. I am so sad about the ending.
I liked how they show more spicy scenes, and the acting was good, except for the crying scenes. Those were a bit lacking.
Honestly not the worst show, it just left me with sadness, and I could not watch the last 3 episodes without skipping.

Not too good, not too bad

Honestly, I watched this series about 2 , almost 3 years ago. Though I don't remember many details I can definitely point out, from what I recall, that it has 1- Pretty good acting 2- Amazing OST and 3- A disappointing ending (in my opinion). Acting: it was quite good, I don't remember it being overly awkward or bad, I feel like every character was portrayed correctly and matched. Maybe it had some issues here and there but overall it was nice. OST: gosh, even after almost 3 years since I watched this, I keep listening to its amazing OST songs. They really give out the ambience and all the feelings along the series. Beautiful. Ending: I personally quite disliked the ending. I remember being very upset the first time I watched it and complaining about it to my best friend lol, I think I may have also cried lolol. To put it in simple words, I didn't like who the main lead ended with. I think this series is good if you have nothing to do and want to fill in that space, as for re-watching, it's a no for me. For a conclusion, it is a very meh series. While it has a not-so-unique story, it also falls into very predictable scenes, which honestly makes the experience a little unpleasant. Still, if you want to watch it go ahead lol.

Overall very good. It does very well on hooking it’s audience with its very dramatic plot. You’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next!

The actors are good at expressing the emotions of the characters and there is a good balance of nice/happy and painful/upsetting scenes.

This series in itself is amazing!

However, the ongoing theme of cheating and lying to your loving partner throughout does kind of ruin the story for me.

Also, if you are impatient this is not the series for you. It does take a long time for the couple to be together properly and can be a bit frustrating.

Just a personal thought

when i first began watching this series, I had no idea what i was getting myself into. At first, I was rooting for the main lead guy. I was expecting some character development from him as well as the main character which was not the case at all. as the story progressed, I realized the second lead deserved the world. I couldn't understand the plot/ending. Seriously ?!?! We start off with the main leads already being in a relationship. The main character is actually in a healthy relationship. I was confused as to why he would simply leave his boyfriend for a complete a stranger ? Like the director forgot to give the main character a personality. we never get an explanation on why the main lead fell hard for the stranger he met at a pool and why he chose him over his boyfriend. I even felt his boyfriend and him had better chemistry than the main lead. In conclusion, I found the love story between the main leads to be so random lol if you are looking for a bl series for pure entertainment then this the one.

This Is Very Mid

"Dark Blue and Moonlight" is a series that evokes mixed feelings. I was turned with some of the lead characters' unlikable traits, while others may appreciate his character flaws. Hua Quin, the main actor, may come across as selfish and annoying, but he also shows moments of vulnerability and uncertainty. His battle with depression adds complexity to his character, some will find relatable. The love triangle involving Hua Quin, Yan Fei, and Pin Jun is complicated, with emotions and feelings that intertwine in unexpected ways. The story itself felt rushed at times, leaving some plot holes that could have been addressed with a longer runtime. I was scratching my head and doing mental gymnastics to explain away either the poor editing or bad script.

Despite these flaws, the series still manages to deliver an engaging story. The director and writer effectively play with the color blue, giving unique depth to the characters. The music enhances the overall experience, fitting the theme and mood of the story.

One of the standout aspects of the series is its focus on character development. Each character comes from a different background, with distinct personalities, goals, and hidden agendas. This complexity captures the intricacies of relationships and love, exploring the unspoken undercurrents that often go unnoticed.

The acting performances were sometime spot on and other times amateurish, with the cast bringing a mix bag of performance to each character. Jimmy's portrayal as the seemingly happy-go-lucky character with a sensitive side is commendable but there was his seemingly openly cheating. While Yan Fei impressively embodies the stoic marketing director with confusing displays of affection and lack of loyalty to his partner. Hai Qing's character, artistic and talented, adds depth with his dark and possessive side, easily angered and depressed which was poorly portrayed. Ping Jun, on the other hand, remains a simple, nice guy throughout but when he wa angry it was unintentionally comical.

While the series showcases moments of heartbreak and conflicting values, it offers a realistic depiction of relationships and the complexity of human emotions. The chemistry mismatch between certain characters, however, is a notable issue, which occasionally affected the authenticity of their interactions. The series had so much potential but fail in execution.

In conclusion, "Dark Blue and Moonlight" is a series that may not resonate with everyone, but it delves into the messier side of love and relationships. It explores the pain of love, the uncertainties, and the absence of fairytale endings, providing a refreshing perspective on BL shows. For those willing to embrace the complexities and explore realistic portrayals of love, this series offers a compelling and thought-provoking experience.

A master piece with little hole

I know based from the reviews you'll feel how it is sad for the second lead actor that he ended up his story like this. But believed me, when you feel so much love to that person, the greatest love that you can give is to let him go.

Pin Jun(the second lead actor) deserves the biggest applaud here. His character is the person that you would wanted have. Salute to this character that is very selfless and shows how he loves without condition.

By the ending part you might feel bad for Hai Qing and Yen Fei since they still choose to be together but I love how their characters did not force to stole the love that they are greedy to have. Tho cheating is something that's really a poison to a love, but this series just shows that your heart can't really lie.

Over all the series turned out so good. For rewatch value i could say that once is enough for you to gasp and fully digest the content of the story! Salute to all staff.
