A Story About War With A Sprinkle Of Romance And Brotherhood
This has been on my watchlist for two years now. I’ve heard things about the ending and kept don’t put it off. And I honestly wish I didn’t. It’s absolutely worth the watch.
You need to dive into this drama with the right mindset. This is not a drama about love, friendship, or palace intrigue. Sure it has all that but essentially, this is a serious drama about war and sacrifice. Everything that happened in the last 5 episodes was on par with the reality of the war-torn world the characters lived in.
Things I loved: soundtrack, acting, costumes, decent CGI (C-Drama is nowhere near Hollywood level CGI but it’s gotten better in recent years).
There was a lot of character development. Each one had a story to tell and I really liked how the writers did that.
I skip a lot when I watch C-Dramas during lengthy dialogues on monologues from the characters who are not needed at all and don’t bring anything new to the plot. I didn’t skip a single scene here. Which is a sign in itself.
Side note: I wish the romance between main leads wasn’t as tame. Yes, it starts off bold with her pursuing him, but it kind of just dies down real fast and moves on to more serious things. But that’s just me. I am a big believer that if you introduce a strong romance Cibolo, then you need to give it enough screen time to explore the intimacy in the relationship between the characters. I could also be spoiled by too much BL content, haha. They do skinship way better. The kind of romance we had in Till the End of the Moon was actually right up my alley (considering how tame C-Dramas are in general). Dark, delicious, satisfying. But that’s just my personal preference. Others will have their own thing going for them. In the end, it doesn’t really make the show any worse because it is not a historical romance show.
Watch this drama for quality production, acting, fight scenes, awesome characters, poignant story, and amazing soundtrack.
PS The ending is actually not as bad if you pay close attention to details. You can take it as what you will.
