Mission to the Moon

strong visuals, weak plot/production value (watch suggestions)

Overall: I'm hoping they get a better script in Doctor's Mine. 30 episodes about 8 minutes each (not including the intro/end credits). Aired on Kongthup's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-3lmw1GIQMkzjvvXYxvOC0yN5ih5-OeB&si=qXXf3GlWE0mGTY8M

What I Like
- the actors
- clear premise
- the first shower scene lol
- supportive friends
- intimacy

Room For Improvement
- 1 minute intro and 1 minute credits were too long for such a short series (also repetitive flashbacks and overly long recaps, episode 5 had 4 minutes of recap!)
- spent too long on the first scene in episode 1, overall the plot dragged/was repetitive, the story could have easily been told in half the runtime
- totally nonsense approach from the ML, he could have had a 2 minute conversation at the very beginning instead of being creepy, he later said he wasn't allowed to say anything and then shortly thereafter explained things
- several scenes were too dark and it was difficult to see the actor, it was very blurry I keep trying to change it to 1080 only to realize it was on 1080
- sound effects
- moping for multiple episodes
- more angst for several episodes
- production value (several scenes at night were way too dark, it was frequently blurry, I liked the song but it played over and over and over again)

A Light & Lovely BL Show with Cute Chemistry!

"Mission to the Moon" is a sweet, light BL drama that really wins you over with its chemistry and charm. While the plot may have its weaker moments, it’s an enjoyable watch overall, and at just 10 minutes per episode, it's perfect for a quick midweek escape. 📅

One of the standout elements for me is the adorable dynamic between Mon and Pak. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the intimate moments (especially the kiss scenes!) are executed beautifully. ❤️ The way they interact with each other makes the show worth watching, even when the storyline stumbles a bit.

As for the complaints about the increase in the number of episodes—honestly, I don’t mind it at all! It’s refreshing to have something to look forward to on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. 😊 It gives a nice rhythm to the week.

If you're a fan of BL and enjoy light-hearted, feel-good moments, this show definitely hits the mark. It’s not heavy on drama, but that’s what makes it so easy to binge and enjoy without feeling overwhelmed.

Highly recommend if you're looking for a short, sweet series with great chemistry and a little bit of romance!
