Yang You accidentally crosses into a parallel universe on the day of a lunar eclipse, becoming a soul entity. He can only materialize within 200 meters of Chen Shi, and to survive, he has no choice but to stay close to Chen Shi. During their time together, Yang You discovers that despite Chen Shi's tough exterior, he is unusually caring toward him. Gradually, Yang You falls for Chen Shi and boldly confesses his feelings. However, just as he decides to give up on returning to his original world, he realizes that Chen Shi knows too much about him, even things he never mentioned. His reporter instincts lead him to suspect he is trapped in a carefully orchestrated scheme. (Source: PlutoCharon___ X) Edit Translation

1too ambitious
Overall: the intention was good, but the execution was not. 8 episodes about 25 minutes each. Aired on MFlow Entertainment's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAvXrP4tNODXIJa-6x-4pJbVOcu2EeFHg&si=GUVOH4IsrBIzbMaTContent Warnings: deaths/blood (in episode 6 but if you skip you'll miss a major plot point that explains things), episode 8 has flashing lights in the beginning to 2m10s and also has kidnapping
What I Liked
- sci-fi/fantasy aspect with the moon/necklace
- visuals
Room For Improvement
- was very confusing, even the end was confusing, it should not take until episode 6 of 8 for a story to kind of make sense
- Chen Shi was actually evil, he killed (according to the subtitles) millions of himself and then millions of the other guy
- never understood how the curse happened or how to break it
- a mystery god-like character refused to explain/answer questions until he suddenly did because the writers said so
- the finale was bizarre with a cartoonist antagonist
Brilliant & Intense!!
Just plain incomprehensible. Yet completely absorbing from the beginning and never let go. Although the story itself is notably out of reach, the characters were so compelling; I wanted more. Initially, I thought perhaps it was due to me not understanding the makeup and composition of the story because it was based upon Chinese lore or myth or an esoteric fable. But then as the story merged from crossing into a parallel universe with Chinese legendry, I dismissed that notion. There was a corporal transference during a unique lunar eclipse that simply went beyond my level of perception. Yet all that did was merely make the story more compelling and entrancing for me. This is a dark, brooding, pessimistic BL but it is nonetheless still one and I think an exceptional one. It is misunderstood because it is so avant-guard and so plutonian in scope. Which is so ironic, given its title is one that is astonishing symbiotic as well as so apt. Charon is a moon of Pluto with each relying on the other for its orbit and stability. Each shining towards the other but never destined to meet because if they did, it would mean utter destruction. Much like Pluto and Charon here. They can never be together.
