Lowkey Disappointed
I started watching this with expectations, and now I understand they may have been too high.I got bored around episode 25, finishing this was a chore.
I loved the actors, but the story dragged. All the miscommunications and betrayals got too much. I needed more balance, more fun times, more love. Idk, not my favourite.

best cdrama of all time.
THE BEST CDRAMA IN XIANXIA OF ALL TIME. TTEOTM is one the first cdrama I have watched and this one is my first drama starring BL and LYX, and I could say their chemistry pretty much clicked.what I literally quite like all of the elements: production, plot, acting, cgi, ost — these hit me really hard in the heart once you get deep into it. PLUS thr character development?? I LITERALLY CRIED MYSELF AT TANTAI JINS STORY. LYX acting was on point too! tantai jin may appear ruthless, hollow — a demon. BUT once you really know the story, you would soften for him. NOW, on how the fl and ml progressed throughout when ml was still locked or powerless, i really liked the pacing of fl; the effort. cause naturally, ml is cold towards flmat the start but eventually warms up.
I dont really remember much as I'm writing this review in 2026 when I watched this in 2023 lol ( yes i dont rewatch dramas, not even 1 drama💔) but overall, I would keep recommendng this drama. Even though it has been almost 3 years (2023-2026) since the drama was aired, i think none could compare — not even in the slightest, for me. Cause TTEOTM hits hard especially when its one or the first cdramas you watched, it sets the bar HIGH .

mini mini mini spoiler that idk if it even counts as one
I read a section of a review on this that basically sums up the character of Tantai Jin: "THEY MADE HIM UNAPOLOGETIC, not unhinged but still the perfect amount of evil. There's just something believably sinister, unhinged, creepy and scary about him. Tantai jin is soooo creepy!!! I can't explain in but the way that man looks, moves his body, flickering his hands and speaks is soo strangely different, still you cant stop watching him. His face changes from innocently handsome to creepy af handsome in SECONDS according to his mood." This part of the review is spitting facts. Luo Yunxi absolutely served with this role. Also, the chemistry between Yunxi and Bai Lu was off the charts. Every time they were in the same frame, their chemistry is palpable. The backstory of Tantai Jin being born evil was not brushed over: he was born that way, so that was his destiny. The romance between Tantai Jin and Li Susu was fantastic. Trust when I say this: you will not regret watching this. The visuals of the leads are serving, even a secondary couple of Pian Ran (Sun Zhen Ni) and Ye Qing Yu (Geng Yeting/Eddy) was amazing. The one grain of salt however was that absolute b**ch Ye Bing Chang/Mo Nu (Chen Du Ling). Idk why Xiao Lin (Deng Wei) still loved her after all she did. She was pure evil to the core. Anyways, with that aside, I highly recommend :)Was this review helpful to you?

Perfection!
There is so much going on all the time, but not too much to the point of becoming overwhelming. I love how you can never get bored while watching this. I have to say, I was constantly entertained and never knew what came next. I absolutely reccomend this one to everyone. It even has transmigration! The actors are doing an amazing job and had so much chemistry! I cant even count just how many times I've re-watched this, im absolutely in love.Was this review helpful to you?

When Love Teaches a Devil to Hesitate
This is not a perfect drama—but it is an unforgettable one.Till the End of the Moon lives and dies on one central achievement: the transformation of Tantai Jin. What makes his arc powerful is not that he becomes “good,” but that he begins to hesitate. Those tiny moments—when cruelty pauses, when instinct conflicts with something unfamiliar, carry more emotional weight than any grand declaration.
Luo Yunxi delivers one of the most layered performances I’ve seen in a C-drama. The shifts are often subtle: restraint in the eyes, a flicker of confusion, a controlled unraveling. It’s not loud acting—it’s precise, and it lands.
Bai Lu matches him in emotional complexity. Li Susu’s conflict—loving the very person she was sent to destroy—is where the story finds its core tension. The drama doesn’t take the easy route of simplifying that conflict, and that’s where it succeeds.
That said, the structure is uneven. The pacing fluctuates, particularly in later arcs, and some transitions feel rushed where they should have been earned. The mythology is ambitious but not always cleanly executed.
But here’s the thing: this drama is not remembered for its structure, it’s remembered for its emotional impact.
It’s tragic, heavy, and often uncomfortable, but it earns those feelings.
Not flawless. But unforgettable.

I sobbed so hard. I loved it so much.
I love well written tragedies, I also love fantasy and epic tales so this one? Ticked all the boxes!Fated enemies, fated lovers, tragic fate. We have gods, demons, mortals the ending of the world! We also have a very unfortunate boy who has a tragic life and learns to love, gets betrayed and loves still!
Tantai Jin's love is unmatched. Xiwu's is also its own kind of tragic, prophesized savior of the world falling in love with the one who destroyed it yet she keeps wanting to believe in him and trusts and tries so hard.
I am heartbroken, I sobbed so hard by the end I was hiccuping. It was one of best watches, makes me realise that truly, I can only find this type of content in chinese drama and nowhere else.
The Music IS AWESOME. I LOVE IT I HAVE THE WHOLE THNG SAVED.
Just watch it you guys, my words fail me.

A rollercoaster of emotions
I gave a very low score on the rewatch value because I don't think I will ever have the heart to watch all the suffering in this drama again. It made me cry, it made me scream, it made me skip work because I needed to finish it.One of my favourite things about this drama is that it's very easy to spot each arc and how they influence the characters and the story. Each one of them brings character development and layers that are extremely important to what's to come.
Tantain Jin might be most tragic character I have ever watched. There was a point that I was just sobbing and asking WHY CANT THIS MAN JUST BE HAPPY FFS. And even with everything that happens to him, he manages to be true to himself until the very end - and not in a perfect way. This is where I feel this drama shines: how it shows all the stages of his grieving, including the last ones where he still relies on his ability to lie. For the greater good, yes. But it's still a lie.
The arc with the God of War and the Clam Princess was one of my favourites. The actress behind that hateful character who ruined everything is freaking amazing because I really hated her SO MUCH, until the last arc where I finally felt something soft for her. And that says a lot for me.
And the entire arc of him as the king, omg. All the times they betrayed each other, hurt each other, loved, cried, smiled... I felt everything so deeply. Especially the part where he believes she was in love with Xiao Lin the entire time but still wants to be with her. Every time they married was a stab in the heart, something always went wrong!!!! And then she dies and he just goes full obsessive, crazy, heartbroken... I was suffering with him right there.
The only negative side of this drama, for me, were the last 10 episodes. Too much stuff happened in such a sort time and it was hard to digest.
But woah... This is one of those where I left a piece of my heart behind from watching it. I just know it will be a long time until I stop thinking about it.

The Ultimate Dark Xianxia Masterpiece: Elite Chemistry!
Till the End of the Moon is a breathtaking, high-budget fantasy epic that sets a whole new standard for the xianxia genre. It delivers a dark, complex, and emotionally devastating narrative driven by fate, gods, and demons.Story (10/10):The plot is an absolute roller-coaster of tragic destiny and power struggles. Following a goddess who travels back in time to prevent the resurrection of the brutal Demon God, the story is beautifully dark and morally complex. What makes this drama so supreme is the sheer emotional weight of the romance. It avoids fluff and instead focuses on intense angst, sacrifice, and a love so powerful it drives the characters to madness. The pacing is intense, keeping you hooked through every heartbreaking twist.Acting & Cast (10/10):Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu delivered absolute masterclass, career-defining performances. Their on-screen chemistry is legendary. Luo Yunxi is flawless as Tantai Jin, capturing his evolution from a bullied, emotionless prince to a ruthless yet deeply broken Demon God. His protective, obsessive nature and his visceral, raw grief during the show's most tragic moments will move you to tears. Bai Lu is phenomenal, bringing immense strength and emotional depth to her role, making their tragic bond unforgettable.Overall:Till the End of the Moon is a legendary 10/10 masterpiece with massive rewatch value. If you want a smart, fiercely protective yet dark male lead, grand fantasy world-building, and an elite, tragic romance, this is a mandatory watch. Absolute perfection!Was this review helpful to you?

When a good casting saves the drama
I rewatched this before writing a review cause I don’t usually write them.My main issues with this drama, and the reason why I gave an 8.5, are the ending which I thought it was unnecessary to end the way it did and annoyed me too much and the ost is not that memorable I remember only one song from it. Other than that I really liked it.
Luo Yun Xi (kindly nicknamed as little lizard bc he as Demon Lord looked like one to me)is amazing as Tantai Jin, first watching one with him and I think he seems to be born to do this type of character. The way he matched perfectly with all 3 characters he portrayed with completely different personalities was insane. Bai Lu is a great actress not my first time watching her, but the first drama I finished still going through others, she carried her characters way beyond what they were written for. She pissed me off making the same mistakes and I still liked her as Ye Xiwu, made me love her, feel her pain and how torn she was on what to choose/do as Sang Jiu, feel hopeful for a better future as early Li Susu. Every emotion she felt I felt it with her even though sometimes I wanted to hate her I couldn’t do it. How she matured from an almost naive Susu to a great woman after everything she lived. Their chemistry, which is CRAZY GOOD, is a bonus point for me since we already got both of these extremely talented actors.
The supporting cast is good, although I have to say that the actress that played Pian Ran did so good with her role, she completely stole my heart. Let’s not forget to give a nod to Chen Du Ling(Ye Bing Chang), the fact she made me hate her no matter who she was and what life just showed she did good too.
I liked the FX but I do have to point they overdid with the coughing blood with every small injury.
The costumes and the settings are super well done and very pretty.
Till the End of the Moon has an okay story paired with a great main cast that most of the time carries the drama and are the reason to not give up watching. It might feel like the story is stuck in a endless cycle with characters making the same mistakes over and over again, but if you stick to it will be worthy enough for the 40eps. Although I’m still new to Chinese dramas, I’m sure that if they had chosen for any other casting this would become a boring story to watch. Overall it is a good drama to watch especially if you like this kind of drama.
