Excelent show
I really enjoyed the story and thought the acting was great. The main characters were perfectly portrayed, especially the male lead. I don't understand why the soundtrack wasn't more appreciated; overall, it was a great show to watch. However, I was disappointed with the ending. It was terribly sad for a story that started as a fantasy tale. I can appreciate tragic endings when depicting real-life events, like in the show Red Sleeve, but for this particular story, I felt the hopeless ending was unnecessary.Does anyone know why there is no season 2? With so many mediocre shows being released all the time, it's puzzling why they didn't produce another season for this one, which has so much potential.

Scarlet Heart! Bloody Heart! The name itself tells how difficult the story of this drama is.
Usually, if you know it's a sad ending drama, it seems like ‘it's just acting! This is not real anymore.’ But this drama will make you cry more than reality. Even after giving a rating of 10/10 in the first drama, I thought it was better not to watch this drama. Such a merciless destiny! Despite having 4/5 pairs of couples, a couple did not have happy ending. I was in a daze for a few days after the end of the drama, I thought again and again that the author could not have done that!This drama will make you laugh a lot at first. But whenever you go deep into the story, you can't hold back your tears.
★Wang Wook (8th): This boy loved two women, but lost both due to some mistakes and wrong decisions made by himself. If you want to protect your family and get people you love, you could find a different way! But he lost both love and family in the wrong way.
★Wang Yo (3rd): Although he was a villain in the entire drama, it is very sad to see his fate and hear the words at the time of his death. As the end result of mother's greed, his destiny gave him a cruel death.
★Wang Beak Ah (13th): This boy also lost both of two women he love. How heartbreaking is for a man to see his beloved woman commit suicide by jumping in front of his own eyes, holding the bloody body of his beloved woman in his arms. They could have a happy ending!!
★Wang Eun (10th)- After love Hea Soo, he wanted to make her own, but he couldn't. Then he loved his wife Soon Duk. He wanted to live a normal and happy life with Duk. But in front of his eyes, his half-hearted woman was mercilessly killed by his brother. He gave his own life as he does not allow his lover to die alone. Although in the whole drama he was Cute, innocent, he away from the cunning of the palace, but he could not save his family, love, or even his own life in the end.
★Wang Mu (Crown)- He built Goreo empire shoulder to shoulder with his father. But he could not save his life from his brother's conspiracy in the end. Every day and night since becoming a king was equal to the pain of hell for him.
★Wang Jeong (14th)- He fell in love with Hea Soo in silence, but never revealed it. To be free from the palace, he was bound by the name of marriage with Hea Soo, but he could never make her his own. He saw his love dying in front of his eyes. The last memory of the lover is her child, made her his own child and spent the rest of his life.
At last...
★Wang So (4th) & Hea Soo- Everyone says Wang So was merciless, but no one wanted to know the story behind his mercilessness. His own mother ruined his face. Again, she never embraced him because of that spoiled look. Made the hostage, he was removed from the family at the age of 5. The people there leave him alone on a mountain full of wild beasts for their pleasulive. With a strong desire to live, he killed all the animals and set them on fire in the forest. Then those people started to fear him again by calling him merciless and cruel. Many people say that the name of the drama could have been the ‘Soo Lovers’ instead of ‘Moon Lovers’. Since many people liked Hea Soo in the entire drama. In fact, her character was like love! After going to the past, at first she was in panic, but later she accepted everything and fought to save her life. Soo's honest, innocent behavior was also loved by his enemy Wang Yo. I felt the most helpless both the main lead in the entire drama. Both main leads seemed the most helpless in the entire drama. Whom they love, in the end they lost them, through many cruel consequences. Even at the time of Soo's death, Wang So was not by her side. What a merciless destiny they had! Until 1 year of returning from the past to the future, Soo did not know that everything she saw was true.
Dear Wang So, you are the first fiction character who I loved deeply. I want to say with my hand on your head, “You're not ugly Wang so, ugly they who forced a little kid to be violent, merciless. Those who deprived a little child of the love of the whole world, who have never taught him what love is! You were never merciless Wang so, The merciless people of this world push you away thinking you were unkind. Still, you gave your whole life for this people.”
Dear Wang So, I want to ask you, did you really find your love from a different world?? I'm waiting, even if it is a little happiness in the end it will be locked in your cage. 🌸🌼

Unrelenting, but beautiful storytelling
This was both entertaining and hard to watch. It was gripping, because I wanted to know what was going to happen next, but at the same time I had already figured - by the way the story was going - that bad things were going to happen over and over again.I think the unrelenting aspect of this drama would make it difficult to rewatch, but I'd still recommend it. There's something bittersweet about the way the characters grow and their relationships to one another. Plus, the acting is superb.
(A second season of this drama, "in reverse", would probably have been amazing, too!)

I have a beef with this show..
And particularly its ending! The director of the show did us so dirty. Loved the couple, no doubt. I found the storyline refreshing and yet predictable at the same time. The chemistry of the leads is a bullseye. The ost is so amazing, I want to buy it. In the beginning it has a lot of comedy in it, then grows quite serious and somber. If only the ending..Was this review helpful to you?

I started watching this drama a year ago but stopped at episode 7 or 8 because I was getting tired of the relationship between Haesoo and Wook.I decided that i really wanted to finish this drama even though I already heard a lot of spoilers. I am very surprised that even though I knew what was gonna happen I really liked.
It's been a while since I've cried so much in a drama.
I don't usually like sad endings but I find that this drama needed it, there was no other option.
Would I recommend this drama? 100% yes. It's really good, you can see they thought about everything, even the smallest details.

NO WORDS FOR THEIR AMAZING ACTING!!!!
lee joon gi made me cry with just a single expression in the last scene.Their is nothing special just turned his face but I could see his emotion through it AMAZING!!!!A lonely hero can he have a great family after a great fight or becomes even more lonely??? this can be answered only by watching the drama.
I loved it for acting of the whole cast it was awesome.
bond between brothers was explained. the heroine mischief was admired by all the brothers which makes a complicated circular relationship which was funny and thrilling.
It keeps us awake making us think whats next.
A cruel mother I don't know if really exist but her role was good.
overall its a movie must be watched. May be its historical but can be related to present day in every situation.

nice drama but im never watching it again like ever
at first i thought it was a cute little time travel story with some romance in it uk the usual storyline you get. However the amount of bloody DEATHS in this drama made me fall into a depressive state. LIKE WHY WOULD YOU MAKE ME SO ATTACHED TO SO MANY CHARACTERS IF YOU WERE GOING TO KILL THEM.Ngl at the death rate the writer was going for, i was very close to being the next one gone💀
then at the ending when she remembers everything. Let me tell you i have never cried more in my life. HAESOO HAD A LIFE THERE!! SHE FOUND LOVE, HAD A CHILD AND DIED THERE!!! HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO JS MOVE ON WITH HER CURRENT LIFE LIKE NONE OF IT HAPPENED.
A part of me died the day i watched the ending. Safe to say i have been emotionally broken down by this drama.
Side note i am an IU fan and i loved her in this drama. Like absolutely loved her. Stan IU guys (but watch her dramas with caution cause most of them sad asf)

Just finished this series and I am speechless. Although I did not shed a tear, this drama twisted my heart this way and that way which physically hurt my chest. Sigh! The story, especially the ending, could have been so much better I have to be honest. I feel that that there could have been more warm moments to show how Wang So and Hae Soo’s relationship developed so we the audience can confidently fight with them. Wang So just made a decision to make Soo his “person” after she touched his face, that’s it. Too many episodes on the Wook and Hae Soo push and pull saga which I thought were unnecessary to the plot.This series showed me how the throne forces to show man’s inner heart and how it is truly a lonely, a very lonely seat. It changes even a mother’s heart, such a tragedy.
Lee Joon Gi portrayal of agony over Soo’s death was the death of my heart (for a full minute at least). I have no words, one of the best moving moments in my kdrama viewing history. He is truly the shiniest star of this series. Jisoo is not far behind, Joo Hyuk could be better. IU had her moments as well. A favourite of mine, Kim Sung Kyun (astronomer), delivered as always. The OST was perfect in and of itself but was also perfectly timed each time. I love this drama and would be recommending it to friends.

recommended !!! We always hope for a sequel
"I'm sorry for leaving you alone""If our worlds is not the same, I wil find you. My.. Soo...."
"Mornings will never be the same... Once you meet that someone who will be the sunshine even on your darkest moments"
Such heartbreaking drama. We lost the count of how many times i cried. Sadly, not every story have happy ending but is fair and realistic, being faithful to the facts, happened in history. The beauty of this drama is in all the cruelty and bitter reality it shows, how tragic was living in those years, especially for women. Even being royal wasn't better. It was horrible to see the royal family who used to be united, complotting, betraying each others, killing each others, in order to get power,The throne. None is completely good or bad. All of them act according to their desires. The brothers had been put against each others by their own parents, who never loved their sons equally, and this is what pushed the princes on being so greed and mean. The constant feelings of being in competition. The love story with Hae Soo and Wang So was so sincere, sad, loving, pure, obsessive. Hae Soo is the only woman who loved and showed him kindness and helped him, yet the corruption of the royal burden and the power, convinced him on giving up, even to her. The last scene where he remembered the most happy moments with her, brust us into tears.
We wished they added the original ending where Hae Soo and Wang So meets again in modern time at the museum/paint exhibition and he doesn't recognize her. It would have been great, but that's okay. It's been 5 years now
We always hope for a sequel
We won't ever forget this drama. Extremely emotional
