A Visual Feast with a Morally Grey Heart: The Tragic Beauty of 'Till the End of the Moon'
Till the End of the Moon is not your typical fairytale Xianxia; it is a visually stunning dive into the origin of evil that pushes the boundaries of the genre. I rated this an 8.5/10 because it successfully combines high-budget aesthetics with a morally complex plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The premise is gripping from the start: in a future era where demons dominate cultivators and mortals, the heroine Li Su Su accepts a desperate mission to travel back in time. Her goal is simple yet terrifying: discover the origin of the Demon Lord and prevent his resurrection before he can massacre the world. However, the drama shines when she assumes the identity of Ye Xi Wu and finds herself married to Tantai Jin—the future Demon Lord who is currently just a humiliated "captive prince".
This setup allows for a brilliant character study. The show challenges the viewer: is Tantai Jin born a monster, or was he made one by a cruel world? As Li Su Su witnesses his past life and his painful rise to power, her black-and-white mission blurs. An "unexpected tale emerges" that complicates her quest, creating a relationship fueled by angst, betrayal, and a desperate desire to change fate.
I highly recommend this for viewers who love "enemies-to-lovers" tropes with high stakes. While the angst can be overwhelming at times, the sheer scale of the world-building and the intense chemistry make it a standout. It misses a perfect score only due to the sheer density of the plot, but it remains an unforgettable watch.
