So the failure of Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact is already having immediate ramifications. The next two installments Love in Pavilion and Sword and Beloved have ceased all pre-airing work and will not air this year as planned, getting delayed into 2025 at the earliest to try and salvage this IP with the viewers. Both Yang Mi and Gong Jun‘s bankability have taken real hits and it’s yet to be seen if it’s a temporary or lasting impact. The production company is putting the blame on the screenwriter for changing the story so much from the source manhua and game as the reason for the fail, but the screenwriter claims all the changes were at the request of the production in order to bring in so many big name guest stars to play the various fairy-human OTP stories and also hype up the drama as filled to the brim with famous stars. Reportedly the script kept getting tweaked as well during the shoot to keep appeasing all the various stars including the leads hence the final product was so herky jerky. I hope this drama is a lesson learned on what not to do.
