Episode 25: More Love & Game Next Time? 【Love Game In Eastern Fantasy 永夜星河】 Esther Yu 虞书欣 Ryan Ding 丁禹兮
Chinese comedy fantasy drama Love Game In Eastern Fantasy 永夜星河, starring Esther Yu Shuxin 虞书欣 and Ryan Ding Yuxi 丁禹兮, hooked us early on. Somewhere in the middle, however, it took a turn off course. In this episode, we diagnose what happened, its impact on the show, and some wacky lessons learned. We love the characters and actors regardless. In addition, watching this show has made Juniper watch and discover the charm of the Chinese drama Moonlight - a modern variation on the show with the same cast - which she had dropped when it first came out in 2021.

(19:34) Random Actor Spotting
(21:38) What the Show Teaches Us: Read Your Messages, Love Is Everything, Demons Are Bad News
(27:43) Who Has Agency To Change the Story? Does It Matter?
(30:30) The Show’s Modern Counterpart: Moonlight
(32:26) What Happened With the Ending and the Kissing?
