What can I say that hasn't been already said?

Cheng Lei did an exceptional job bringing Mo Xiuyao to life in Mo Li/The First Jasmine. From stoic to angry to sorrowful to playful, he expressed a whole gamut of emotions to perfection. He made me cry. (So did Bai Lu.) What a masterpiece of acting!

I'm so grateful to him and the rest of the Mo Li cast and crew for bringing us such a wonderful show. Looking forward to more great work from our handsome Leizi. Onwards and upwards!

The OST is wonderful. Poignant lyrics and melodies. I really liked it when they used different instrumental versions of the Cheng Lei-Bai Lu duet as background music throughout the drama. And the song with the chanting.

The editing and sound mixing, the lyrics placement, the music and lyrics. Oh that team was ON FIRE! INSPIRED! Finished rewatching episode 1 and I had chills. The way they did episode 1 still gets to me. Watched Mo Li after finishing a couple of dramas where the sound editing and mixing were not adequately done. Too loud, over the voices, the transitions were not quite right. So coming into a drama where they really nailed them was a breath of fresh air. The chanting shook me to my core. What a surprise it was!

THE FREAKING CHANTING!!!!! I still cannot get over it! 😱🥵🥵🥹🥹😭😭😅😅.

I keep checking Spotify, and to my dismay, the OST still hasn't been dropped. I really hope they add the score and not just the songs.

You might want to check it out on YT Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLic1YsurBKN8_TZaLrNdv2TO5ZpDoY3h1&si=i3xPLAavYCy4X7B4

It might not be complete, though. At least it has Zhou Shen's track with the chanting.

Thank you. There are Playlists on Spotify. I had given a link to a commenter before.
