Till the End of the Moon

the end of my sanity runs so thin

If I'm being honest, I am watching this show because of Luo Yunxi. I really hoped I would see him as Chu Wanning for now.. but this is what I get for now so I have to live with it.

This show has a lot of similarities to the one I wish I was watching, but looking past that I can see a lot of things that are convoluted and messed up about the story. There are an overwhelming amount of 10/10 reviews so I am rating this more realistically. I am being more harsh because so many people just say 10/10.

So its not bad. The costumes are gorgeous, the sets are gorgeous. Its really good looking. At times the CGI is over ambitious. I realize I am not like the many many others that are applauding it. It is way too much whenever it is there, it is like a bad marvel movie. I get it is the heavenly realm or immortal realm or whatever, but still- the amount of disbelief I can overlook is a lot- and it goes over that bar by a large margin. The CGI is CGI, if I can tell by that point it takes me out of the story. The half of the first episode is hard to watch because of the over saturation of the CGI. It is a huge battle and Luo Yunxi's demon god character is overpowered. This drama is just overproduced. I wish at some point someone anywhere would have told them to stop. I should have saw this coming with the posters for this show (the photoshop is horrendous.. why is there hair floating, Luo Yunxi's hand...) also I kid you not, they reuse shots.. and they freeze shots as if they don't have the material.

That's ok. They set it up so I hate him and he is irredeemable. He killed Bai Lu's characters whole clan (she has like three names so forgive me, I call her Bai Lu). Her father dies in front of her eyes and she is taken back in time to Demon Lord not being demon Lord so she can kill him...

This is where I have a problem. He is this dictator that kills anyone for power. He wiped out several races for power, and its fine it isn't explained why he wants that yet. I like the idea of seeing why he becomes bad and his life is honestly so pathetic that I don't blame him for being upset. It is just underwhelming that Bai Lu is sympathizing with him? He killed her whole family but she is so into this new life. The thing I am having a hard time digesting is that the life isn't even hers. I don't know why she cares so much, and if it is because she is nice than I think that is dumb. I'm sorry. She comes back to kill him, but is taking her time for some evil bone- but in the meantime she is sympathizing? The whole killing several races trumps over whatever he is crying about or getting beaten over. This show right there is off, the plot holes of her being the person in the first place to go back in time to kill him. Main character energy I like, but this is just too much.

It was because she was the only one who wasn't dead. I wish someone less easily swayed was there instead. So in the end when she wishes that she didn't sympathize and has her moment, I don't care. I just think she is so so so dumb. It is a whole romance story, but that is my problem. I get it is based off a book, but if other dramas have to change their narrative to make sense - why can't this one?

It would be a million times better if the narrative was changed. Like have Demon Lord not kill her family, change it to minutes before to show that he is about to but is conflicted. Then I would be ok with her sympathizing because of his pause. Or maybe cut out the romance. Honestly this show caters to the audience, to hopeless romantics. What is with China and romanticizing toxic relationships.

Luo Yunxi gets abused by Bai Lu in the previous life, but then she's nice for a few days and he wants to stay with her? It is Stockholm syndrome I swear. Both sides of knowing they are going to get together make me uncomfortable. There are stories that do the whole being evil but being human better. Luo Yunxi pre demon lord is established to have no feelings- so that's another plot hole? I am watching and getting frustrated by the absurdity of all these plot holes. So for that I rate it like I did.

The acting is very good. The costumes are good.. the story is something I can't get into because it is another drama that is yet again falling into the deep romance. I wish stories could be more gritty and stick with it. It is a shame because it is like there is a guy and a girl leading then in China they have to fall in love. Even if that is the worst possible decision for both of the characters.

I’m officially dropping after the multiple plot lines of drugging characters and sleeping together. There is a word for that- and it’s sickening. This drama glorifies the whole idea of that and it’s like they are trying to have it pass because the girl did it to the guy .. it’s flashy its- offensive and spreads the wrong messages. This show is unaware and I can’t buy into their love. Across all the different timelines or universes or lifetimes. It’s toxic and I refuse it. I could write a several page essay and it’s a shame. I wanted to finish this one but I’m done.

Summing it up it is way too much. Everything it too much and it’s not balanced. Maybe it’s good at the end but at this point I wasted 10 hours. That’s a lot and I’m not wasting 30 more

I WANT AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS RANKING

Every time, i cannot really understand why the ranking become so low from the first episodes. This is completely unfair not only for this drama but also for much more that i have noticed. Mydramalist have to give access only for the final assessment. Please stop unfairly rating a drama when its plot hasn't even started yet. By what criteria has this rating been made? I really can't understand it's ridiculous. Τhe application should definitely be improved and not let the user set a score until the completion of viewing a work. How much more so when in the morning his score was 8.7 and in the evening it fell to 8.3.
Please write down your reasons ,because I seriously don't understand them. ITS RIDICULOUS!!!!!

Painful slow pace

The start was so awesome, but as the story progresses, it just becomes more and more painful to watch. As I am finally dropping it at episode 11, I really can't comment on whether it will turn around with a meaningful context. As of now, it just feels like things are happening as they are meant to be—no one, absolutely no character, is putting in any effort to make the story progress as it should.

I felt like Bai Lu is one of the prettiest actresses with a strong inherent personality to portray a powerful FL. But sigh… here, it looks like she is not putting any effort into her role. I mean… what the hell is she thinking during literally any of her decision-making moments? Is she even serious about her role in saving the world? Or is she just giving up on her mission now and then? It looks like she will keep on enjoying her human life, and everything will just conveniently go in her favor! I mean, why the hell does she need to teach anything to that future-demon knowing that he is way too dangerous to take any risk? And why is she always confused about her decisions? Up to episode 11, Tantai Jin is just doing whatever he needs to. He is almost living the same life before and after Susu's personality change. Sometimes, he acts smart, and sometimes he needs the devil to guide his way. I am not sure if his personality is supposed to be that of a fool or a really smart person.

I mean, when you have the power to control any small animal, insect, or bird, then why not just f***ing kill all your opponents at once when you could? Like how he killed that eunuch with the help of a bee—why didn't he use the same trick on the powerful kings conspiring against him, including his brother and father? That trick was so simple yet lethal, and he could have easily used it to his advantage.

So far, whatever is happening in the story feels abstract and not serious. So, I’m finally dropping this drama, even though I was initially very interested in the devil-fairy kind of duet and expected that the Luo Yunxi–Bai Lu pairing would make for a great story. But sigh…!!!

This is one of the best xianxia drama I have watched in the recent years!

The first episode was so typical of xianxia drama and I was struggling to finish watching it. I also did not particularly fancy the cover page of the drama (on Netflix) which shows TJJ’s face only. But I was so thankful I didn’t give up as the drama turned out to be so good! I was captivated by the lead actor Luo Yun Xi’s acting of the character TJJ/ MY and the Denon lord. Also very impressed by Chen Du Ling as YBC (I hated her when she did all the evil things) and Deng Wei as XL. Bai Lu also brought out the character of YXW pretty well. Just the acting by the actors and actresses make the drama worth watching. There were some illogical parts and very obvious villain characters which make some parts of the story predictable but these are quite minor and I would still rate the story as good and coherent. The CGI, customs and OST are great too. However, thought the music could be better, e.g specific ost / remixes ost to support specific scenes, like what was done well in Love like the Galaxy.

A very entertaining story

I have watched this drama twice and loved it each time. Generally I can move on from shows but I keep finding myself going back to Till the End of the Moon edits. If you have read the novel and are expecting the same thing from the show, although there are certain scenes that are the same and although the premise is basically the same, they are very different, which I assume is due to censorship. If you plan to watch I also recommend taking into consideration if you can take unrealistic stuff seriously because I know people who found the whole thing funny and cringy because they couldn’t take it seriously. I happen to love taking things seriously though so this became and remains one of my favorite dramas.

Lost its way

June 2025
Epic fantasy story of survival, revenge, love, hate, abuse, and eveything in-between, plus travelling in time, and dream worlds.

A sumptuous watch, with very good CGI, costumes, makeup and sets. A beautiful cast too and plenty of characters.

It started well and got straight into things, laying the plot's foundations. It is quite bloody at times; I don't think I've ever seen characters cough up blood (something cultivators do when their energy, or qi, is damaged, or they over-exert themselves) as much, in one drama, in my life!

Unfortunately, it started to stall for me. The flip between different incarnations of the main characters when in different lives, was somewhat clumsily handled. This confused me at times, although I did find my attention flagging, so perhaps that's my fault.

Whilst strong, focussed and undeniably beautiful, given her remit, I found the attitude of the FL character (Li Su Su / Ye Xi Wu, played by Bai Lu) to her 'target', character Tantai Jin (Luo Yun Xi), really frustrating.

After travelling back in time, she ends up as his wife; a nasty, malicious character, in a miserable marriage. It has to be assumed they looked the same, as no reference was made to this. She is nothing like that person, and so her behaviour towards him and others is very different. This is blamed on good old memory loss.

On the one hand she's thinking that he could be prevented from turning into a devil, or rather the Demon King, and on the other, it's that she has to kill him. The story see-saws back and forth on this, and that irritated me.

Given Tantai Jin's backstory, it didn't surprise me he lacked emotion and a moral compass, one day becoming the revenge driven Demon King. As his wife has 'changed', however, he very slowly begins to see and respond to her differently, as she treats him better. It gives hope he could be saved if nurtured.

However, instead of building on this, and even though she sees the hell, poor conditions, humiliation, and abuse he's lived with since being a child, she has almost zero empathy. It was startling. I disliked her character immensely at those times.

We then get this same roller-coaster of hate/love/kill/save, throughout the drama. Almost all his evil reactions stem from her poor choices, lack of communication, and deception.

Key nasty characters (and there are more than a few), get listened to and have influence, time and again. It's infuriating. The capacity of some characters to forgive, is both unfulfilling and utterly misplaced. One in particular, regardless of her atrocious crimes, ends up walking about and back in the thick of things, like nothing happened.... in more than one of her guises!

There is a lot of tragedy, but I only got really moved in episodes depicting Tantai Jin's early life; his mistreatment and his numerous betrayals by people he trusted.

That's the main reason Li Su Su / Ye Xi Wu's character didn't add up. She could have changed him, but instead fuelled his mistrust, jealousy (caused by that mistrust) and evil thoughts, by lying to and deceiving him, so many times. She does make a sacrifice, but even then, her poor handling of it all later, ruins it.

We end up kind of back where we started, but earlier in that time. Sadly, past mistakes are not learned from, nothing from tge oast is shared, as Li Su Su stays silent, and we get an ending that I thought predictable. Certainly not satisfying.

I enjoyed a lot of it, but will be perfectly honest in that it was one of my favourite C-drama actors, Luo Yun Xi, that kept me invested. I find him stunning to watch, as he has great screen presence and rarely, if ever, overacts.

At certain times I found the soundtrack too loud, swamping the dialogue. If I didn't watch with subtitles, it would have spoiled my viewing.

This drama could have been brilliant, but sadly fell short due to the poor writing. It is still worth a look though, as it's otherwise wonderfully put together, with a great cast and commanding characters.

This fantasy cdrama is a MASTERPIECE ♾️/10

When I first watched Till the End of the Moon, I was blown away. This is by far the best cdrama I’ve ever watched. I didn’t expect to be so drawn to these characters, Tantai Jin and Su. It wasn’t a surprise that this cdrama had so much amazing chemistry between the leads, top-notch production, great acting, and phenomenal casting.
After I finished the drama, I found out about the novel, which was also very well received. The directors did an amazing job showcasing the three different lives and marriages. It felt like I was watching multiple storylines in one, and that’s what made this cdrama (for me) untouchable.
This drama is so good that I’ve been thinking about watching it a second time just to see if there were any scenes I might have missed. Usually, if I watch a drama more than once, it becomes one of my ultimate favorites.
I understand that some fans were upset about not getting their “happy ending” like in the novel, but at least during the cliffhanger it was shown that Tantai Jin will come back to Su and their daughter. So, in order for me to feel satisfied with a happy ending for my favorite rollercoaster-ride cdrama couple, I read the last chapters of the novel and I was satisfied.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi work together in many more dramas in the future. I honestly can’t get enough of their incredible chemistry. This cdrama is truly a masterpiece.

Um dos melhores Cdramas que eu já vi.

Quando eu comecei a ver eu jurava que ia ser apenas o romance de um Deus Demoníaco e uma garota aleatória, mas na verdade eles se aproximaram quando o Deus demoníaco é só um mortal fraco que é maltratado por todo mundo.
A protagonista feminina (Li Susu / Ye Xiwu) é uma personagem realmente muito empática e destemida, confesso que em muitas cenas você sente raiva dela porque acompanhou todo o processo do Tantai Jin se apaixonando por ela, enquanto ela no início só pensava em mata-lo, mas seu pai confiou nela para fazer isso e até foi morto pelo Deus Demoníaco (Tantai Jin), mesmo assim ela confio que ele poderia se tornar uma pessoa boa, já que o passado de Tantai Jin era extremamente triste, sua mãe morreu, seu pai o abandonou, quem o cuidou também traiu ele, sua esposa até então maltratava ele e o batia todas as noites, o bichinho literalmente nasceu pra sofrer.
De verdade, a única cena que eu tive um ódio absurdo da protagonista foi na cena que ela queria dar algo para Tantai Jin desmaiar e ela conseguir salvar Xiaolin, faz sentido apenas se pensarmos na personalidade da personagem, mas se pensarmos na missão dela ao vir pro passado e no tempo que ela tinha para fazer isso não faz sentido algum ela sair do foco de sua missão.
Tantai Jin é um personagem que de início pensamos que nasceu para ser maldoso, mas que na verdade, como mortal, era apenas um homem sofrido e que parece ingênuo (só parece, pq o plot dele só ter fingido que trancou com Xiwu provou que ingênuo é algo que ele não é), o desenvolvimento do personagem foi ótimo e a história do por quê que ele virou o Deus demoníaco foi muito bem detalhado e ótima, o fato de que Susu fez tudo certinho para que Tantai Jin se tornasse o Deus demoníaco me fez pausar a série é olhar para o teto por uns 10 minutos.
