Fun Facts

  • Filming took place in Thailand.
  • In November 2017, Victoria Song was flown from Thailand to China to undergo an emergency surgery. Victoria Song went on social media later on to say that she's alright and to tell fans not to worry. (Source: DramaPanda)
  • There were rumors around bad blood between the two main leads especially after Victoria Song's manager Jia Shikai went on social media to talk about a certain drama involving one of his artists. Due to Victoria's casting in Moonshine and Valentine, it was said that many of Huang Jingyu's fans started bashing the actress which resulted in escalating fan wars. Without naming names, Jia Shikai declared that his artist will still cooperate in promotions but will not take the stage together. Netizens speculate that Jia Shikai was referring to Victoria Song and Huang Jingyu.
  • Director Leste Chen admits that they really did have another leading lady in mind at the beginning. The original actress backed out due to some differences so someone suggested Victoria Song who was very agreeable to the requirements for the drama and exceeded his expectations.
  • The drama is only 24 episodes and includes one additional episode. It is because the Director believes that shorter dramas (around 20 episodes) tell a tighter story.
  • The cast dubbed their own voices.
  • Former SM Trainee Song Bingyang composed the music for Zhu Que Jie and his lyrics were combined with Zhi Mo's who wrote the original lyrics for the novel.
  • The drama is based on the first book of the three-part series by Shi Dingrou called Jie Ai: Ji Si Da Ren. The third book is expected to be published in 2018.
