Critica sin filtro

To the Moon presents itself as a survival comedy about three broke office workers dreaming of getting rich, but from the very first episode it’s clear the show has no idea what story it wants to tell.
The protagonist, played by Lee Sun Bin, lives the classic Korean office hell: screaming bosses, miserable pay, and a routine that feels like punishment. So far, familiar territory… but the show tries to mix fantasy, comedy, and social critique all at once, and the result is tonal chaos.

The narrative runs on hysteria—characters reacting with absurd intensity to trivial situations. What should feel like comedy ends up as a collective tantrum shot in fast-forward. Even when her boyfriend leaves her, the script pushes her into such over-the-top despair it borders on self-parody. And ironically, when he reappears saying marriage would be a mistake for financial reasons, the show paints him as a villain—though he’s the only one making any sense.

Then comes the “empowerment” moment: she confronts him with a song-and-dance routine in front of his car. It’s supposed to be liberation, but it looks more like a circus act with feminist slogans. To the Moon confuses healing with exhibition and strength with noise.
And just when you think it can’t sink lower, the three women run away laughing as if they’d just pulled a teenage prank—until silence hits, reminding them that despite all the chaos, their lives are still exactly the same.

The punchline? Their grand solution to misery is… investing in cryptocurrency.
To the Moon ends up being the ultimate guide to emotional stagnation: when life falls apart, throw a tantrum, sing a song, and buy crypto.
