? Moon Lovers — Bring Tissues, Lots of Them
Let me break this drama down honestly:
70% crying, 25% romance, and 5% humor — and yes, the math checks out. 😭
What really surprised me is how conflicted I felt about the villain. Usually, it’s easy to hate them, but here? I kept going back and forth between anger and sympathy. That moral confusion actually made the story more interesting.
Acting-wise, everyone delivered. No weak links here. The OSTs are beautiful and perfectly timed, and while most characters do get a happy ending, the emotional damage along the way is very real.
✨ My absolute favorite moment? When the male lead spends the last seven minutes of his life thinking about just one person. That scene was powerful, heartbreaking, and unforgettable.
The makers went bold by mixing two supernatural elements into an already intense period drama, and while it mostly works, I won’t lie — there were moments where the story felt a bit stretched.
Still, if you love sageuks, supernatural twists, and are in the mood for a good emotional breakdown, Moon Lovers is totally worth your time. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. 😭🌙
