When a good casting saves the drama
I rewatched this before writing a review cause I don’t usually write them.
My main issues with this drama, and the reason why I gave an 8.5, are the ending which I thought it was unnecessary to end the way it did and annoyed me too much and the ost is not that memorable I remember only one song from it. Other than that I really liked it.
Luo Yun Xi (kindly nicknamed as little lizard bc he as Demon Lord looked like one to me)is amazing as Tantai Jin, first watching one with him and I think he seems to be born to do this type of character. The way he matched perfectly with all 3 characters he portrayed with completely different personalities was insane. Bai Lu is a great actress not my first time watching her, but the first drama I finished still going through others, she carried her characters way beyond what they were written for. She pissed me off making the same mistakes and I still liked her as Ye Xiwu, made me love her, feel her pain and how torn she was on what to choose/do as Sang Jiu, feel hopeful for a better future as early Li Susu. Every emotion she felt I felt it with her even though sometimes I wanted to hate her I couldn’t do it. How she matured from an almost naive Susu to a great woman after everything she lived. Their chemistry, which is CRAZY GOOD, is a bonus point for me since we already got both of these extremely talented actors.
The supporting cast is good, although I have to say that the actress that played Pian Ran did so good with her role, she completely stole my heart. Let’s not forget to give a nod to Chen Du Ling(Ye Bing Chang), the fact she made me hate her no matter who she was and what life just showed she did good too.
I liked the FX but I do have to point they overdid with the coughing blood with every small injury.
The costumes and the settings are super well done and very pretty.
Till the End of the Moon has an okay story paired with a great main cast that most of the time carries the drama and are the reason to not give up watching. It might feel like the story is stuck in a endless cycle with characters making the same mistakes over and over again, but if you stick to it will be worthy enough for the 40eps. Although I’m still new to Chinese dramas, I’m sure that if they had chosen for any other casting this would become a boring story to watch. Overall it is a good drama to watch especially if you like this kind of drama.
