One of the best of 2025 (for me)
Everything in the story has its purpose, even if it doesn't seem like it at first.The OST superb.
It has a great balance of comedy and seriousness, the story itself is very dense so the comedy is very much appreciated, and it never falls into cringe territory.
The main couple's chemistry is amazing, they share so many little moments it's impossible not to root for them, you can truly feel they are bounded by fate.
Overall amazing drama, the only fault is some casting choices (at first, it's jarring, towards the end the actress improves so much, I'm happy for her)

WORTH WATCHING!!!!!!
I honestly don’t even know where to start because Moon River completely blew me away. This drama is insanely good from beginning to end. Every single episode feels purposeful the character development, the emotional depth, the pacing, everything is done so beautifully that I never felt bored for even a second.What I love the most is how the characters grow naturally as the story progresses. You really get to understand their motivations, their pain, their love, and their inner conflicts. It’s an emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible. one moment you’re smiling softly, the next you’re holding back tears, and then suddenly a plot twist hits you out of nowhere.
The storytelling is incredibly strong. The plot twists don’t feel forced, they’re smart, well placed, and actually make sense within the story. Each episode leaves you wanting more, and before you know it, you’re already several episodes in without realizing how much time has passed.
The cast deserves so much praise!!! Every actor fits their role perfectly, it honestly feels like these characters were made for them. The chemistry, the expressions, the emotional delivery… everything feels real and heartfelt. You can tell how much effort and care went into bringing this story to life.
The pacing is another huge plus. The story flows smoothly, giving enough time for emotional moments to breathe while still keeping the narrative engaging and impactful. It never drags, never feels rushed, just perfectly balanced.
At this point, I’m genuinely running out of words because Moon River is just THAT good. It’s beautiful, emotional, well written, and unforgettable. This is not just a drama you casually watch, it’s a drama you feel.
If you’re even slightly interested, TRUST ME: this is absolutely worth watching. I can’t recommend it enough. One of the best dramas I’ve watched, hands down!! 😭🫶🏻
