To the Moon Falls Short
To the Moon begins with a promising and relatable setup — three women stuck in low-paying jobs trying to escape their struggles through cryptocurrency investments. The premise feels fresh and timely, especially for anyone who’s ever dreamed of a quick way out of financial hardship.
The performances, especially by Lee Sun-bin and Ra Mi-ran, are heartfelt and grounded. Their chemistry as co-workers and friends is the drama’s biggest strength. The show also deserves credit for focusing on women’s perspectives in a financial setting — something rarely seen in K-dramas.
However, as the story unfolds, it struggles to balance its tone. It jumps between office comedy, slice-of-life drama, and mild romance without a clear emotional direction. The romance subplot feels unnecessary and lacks spark. The crypto storyline, while interesting at first, doesn’t build enough tension or payoff to keep viewers hooked.
Despite its flaws, To the Moon has charm in its realism and occasional humor. It’s not a standout series, but it’s a relatable and light watch if you enjoy stories about friendship, dreams, and surviving modern work life.
To the Moon (2025) – Rating: ⭐️ 6.5/10
Reason: Great concept and performances, but the storytelling feels uneven, and the emotional impact doesn’t fully land. Worth a one-time watch if you like realistic, female-centered workplace dramas.
