Redundant and Underwhelming
I went into Till the End of the Moon with high expectations because of all the hype and glowing reviews, but honestly, it ended up being quite disappointing. It was surprisingly hard for me to finish this drama—I practically had to force myself through the last stretch just to cross it off my list.
The biggest issue for me was the repetitive storyline. I understand that the plot is meant to loop through similar circumstances, but it became too redundant. After a while, it felt like watching the same arc play out again and again, and I gradually lost interest.
Another thing I absolutely dislike—and this drama leans heavily into it—is the trope where the lead pretends to be invested purely for some personal gain. Yes, I know this is common and the characters usually end up falling in love for real, but it’s a plotline I find frustrating, especially when the characters are supposed to be mature adults. It just made their dynamics feel less compelling to me.
If I’m being honest, the one thing that kept me motivated to finish was TanTai Jin’s face card, because the man is undeniably beautiful. Sometimes, aesthetics are enough to keep a person going—and in this case, they were.
Overall, while the production value is high and the leads are visually stunning, the storytelling just didn’t hold up for me. 6.5/10.
