It completely lacks the feeling of heart-stopping
I only managed to finish this drama because of the original work and Lee Joon gi’s acting.
The later part of the plot feels rushed to the point of being ridiculous. I couldn’t feel the female lead’s fear at all, nor the sense of tension and heart pounding anxiety that the title suggests. I really don’t understand why it wasn’t simply titled Moon Lovers. To me, it has no strong connection to the Chinese drama Scarlet Heart.
If you are watching the Korean version because of the original novel or the Chinese drama, I would suggest you don’t, because it will likely leave you disappointed.
