Amantes da Lua (2016)

This was downright a horrible drama to watch. Initially I started to watch this because I love historical and fantasy dramas but then I dropped it half way through, only to pick it up again because I saw it was voted best historical on MDL.

I wanted to love this I really did, but the story was just terrible. The first half I found very childish and shallow and then the second half is full of angst and confusion. Now don't get me wrong I'm fine with angst in melodramas....as long as they make logical sense or have something important to convey to the audience. However at the end of this drama I was just left with so many questions and things did not add up at all in the last couple of episodes.

You should really avoid this drama, I wish I had.

To be honest, when i first saw this drama was still summer and only weeks away from starting school again. At that time i wasn't sure of what to watch, and then i saw that Lee Jun Ki was back on screen and with IU. Had my doubts if i should watch it or not, but i'm grateful that i did. The story got me interested too. since the start until the end. The characters were unique, all of them left a mark and i will always remember them. Through this drama i felt a lot of emotions: I laughed, I smiled, i got angry, cried a lot but most important: I fell in love with the characters so much that my heart still can't believe that it ended.
The cast did a great job. The OST is beautiful. I must say this is DAEBAK. If you're looking for a heartwarming story, this is for you.

During the whole process of the 2 months this show aired, i could not concentrate on anything other than this drama.(made me crazy loool ) Usually i watch multiple dramas at the same type but this drama made me discontinue other dramas which i was watching at the same type bcuz they just werent as good as this one. The story, the cast, the acting, the music, the cinematography was perfect !!! I watched the Chinese version (bu bu jing xing)before and i really liked it at that time but this korean version left me speechles. Although the ending could be improved a little bit (by adding the (30sec-1min) scene wich was cut)but it didnt annoy me at all. The main male lead( Lee joon gi)'s acting was superb with his mili-second expressions. Also at first half of the series the pacing is not that fast however in the second half it gets a bit rushed. However, overall this drama is really brilliant/Phenomenal even with its minor faults here and there, which could have been improved by the director. But this is the first Drama that made me go to the soompi forum, first drama that i was obsessed for a long time even after it has finished. (me speaking this bcuz im hardcore Korean drama fan since 2005, and i watched a looooooooooot of drama/ possibly every poplular kdrama up to this date). The only fantasy element in here is timetravelling but apart from that it is quite realistic for K-drama and the ending wasnt as forced /typical/ cliche ending u would usually see in kdramas. I highly recommend this drama!!! However watch only the SBS version which is much better than the international version.

Only the acting of leads helped to complete it Otherwise its a flop

I hated the fact that how a, healthy girl from future destroyed herself involving in others business i means what good happened to the FL by taking tension that too for strNgers from past life.

I founded it a depressing drama.
Really means reallly not a single love story ended happily,all the good characters were dying one by one?.
This drama has overly critized monarchial period..And i still don't understand what was the need of a present gen girl to go to past just to meddle in the life of a gone king ..i mean if already it happened why to change it wasn t like something good might occur in future ..what was the need to help that stupid king? Totally deressing drama.it appeared as if the writer of this drama is a saddist..if not for IU and ML and some famous cameos it would be a boring melodrama.Sad ending Just fighting for a throne...and dying thats it...

[CAUTION!!! TOO BIAS] Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

Actually, I have't watch the Chinese version of Scarlet Heart. I have read so much reviews about it but due to the fact that I'm not really a fan of Historical Dramas, that's why I don't have any idea of the flow or the story of Scarlet Heart (Korean version).

The story is enough proof of the adaption but nevertheless it gives identity to the korean adaption. The story was fantastic. It highlights not only revenge, love, friendship but also the history-drama itself. The actors was well picked. The main lead (IU and Joon Gi) have a great chemistry tho even I really like Hae Soo and Wook but after the next episodes, I begun appreciating the chemistry between the two main leads. IU, as the main female lead, was a brilliant actress. She portrayed her role very well as Hae Soo. I was affected on her scenes. There's too much words to say how I love her. As for the 4th Prince, he delivered his role well. I love the fact that he calls Hae Soo "my person" lol. I feel sad for him through out the story for how his mother hate him that much but the fact that he love him that much even though he's always left out.

The cinematography and the scenes was well prepared. It seems that everything was in place. The music adds, creates and builds emotions in the story. The music was fabulous. The background songs used in the scenes makes me cring, laugh, smile, shout, cry and cry again.

I may say that my love for Moon Lovers was 100/10. There's too much words that I can't explain on how Moon Lovers can catch your heart, just like what happened to me.

YOU MUST WATCH IT!!!

this drama will leave you traumatised

i don't know why i did this to myself by rewatching this drama as i'm now traumatised for the second time and fuming with anger. the end is so heartbreaking and unsatisfying. the least they could do is at least show us a snippet of wang so and hae soo meeting each other in modern life and being happy but NO... it had to be a sad, heart wrenching ending.

wang so swore to never leave hae soo, he said the throne was nothing to him if he couldn't live without hae soo but in the end, he also became deluded by the idea of being on top of the world. had he not made this choice in the first place, he wouldn't have lost hae soo at all and they would have lived together, away from the palace, happily ever after.

also, hae soo crying in modern life and apologising for leaving wang so alone? WANG SO was the one who abandoned YOU. if anything, he should have felt all the regret, not her.

and most heartbreaking to me of all was the death of wang eun and his wife. i will never understand why the writers chose to do something as cruel as this. they didn't deserve and ending like that the slightest.

the worst

The storyline was great from the beginning especially with fourth prince . Its just that it took so many detours and so many unimportant scenes just to make iu fit into the story. Omg this is the worse k drama i ever watched . I wasted so much time to watch this . The plot for the brothers are ok but with su ? Omg i cant even put into words how i felt about her character. First of her character was acting way too innocently, like too much of being a cutesy to the point that its so irritating. Second, she was actually causing the brothers to fight . So useless. She acts like a martyr omg . Wth .The final episode , omg they had to make the ending “tragic” but they could have thought of a better way to end it or perhaps the whole developer of the story. In the end the Brothers fought still because of her in the end . Is she the only woman in goryeo???? I would understand if she was . A love triangle is fine but what almost all the princes hahah too much . The story of the brothers was ok but they couldve executed it much better so many scenes that could have been scraped off including the king marrying haesu ??????? So many insignificant scenes to make it longer which i think 12 episodes would have ended the kdrama not 20 . Such a time waster . I am so disappointed. The only saving grace was wanting to know how each prince ended .

[PORTUGUESE] Moon Lovers não é um drama qualquer, e talvez seja por isso que tenha chamado tanta atenção do público ocidental. Para mim, o que mais me atraiu no drama foi o casal principal, principalmente no que se refere à química entre os atores Lee Joon Gi e Lee Ji Eun (IU). Não existe uma palavra no meu vocabulário que possa resumir a atuação do Joon Gi como Wang So nesse drama, pois "maravilhoso" e "incrível" são adjetivos muito vagos no que se refere às expressões faciais desse homem. Ele conseguiu me ganhar já na primeira cena dele no cavalo, chegando em Songak durante o eclipse (aquela imagem é maravilhosa), e quanto mais conhecia o personagem e percebia o que estava por trás dele, mais me apaixonava. Alguns dizem que ele levou o drama nas costas, mas eu não acho isso. Ele como personagem principal tinha que se destacar mesmo, e isso ele fez com louvor.
