The Full Moon: S1

满月- 人团圆

The full moon is a motif that recurs in this drama.

A full moon occurs once every 30 days, but it occurs on the lunar 15th of the month.
A full moon signifies reunion.
In the Lost you forever story, this has very special meaning in season 2.
not saying spoilers for now

Ep2

Xiangliu requested his medicines/poisons/tonics to be delivered every 15th, for Xiaoliu’s ‘offerings’.

Its poetic that he later heals Xiaoyao every full moon.
Looks like that is also the peak of his powers maybe, since the moon represents Yin energies.
