Forgive me if this review was done improperly as this was my very first. This was based on my honest thoughts so there may have some disagreements. Lastly, I believed a drama is based on preference (just like food). There isn’t a good or bad drama. Just preference. Oh, excuse me for my grammar errors as well.
Till The End of The Moon clearly is a production which filled with creative and excellent storyline, amazing cast/ team, songs with lyrics that fit the story, improved computer-generated imagery and beautiful cinematography. To me this is a top-notch drama with acting in another level. Faster pacing and less draggy most of the time. However, as the censorship rule was implemented, I heard from 56 episodes were reduced to 40 episodes. Due to unforeseen circumstances, there are also downsides to content with. Too much important details were removed. I feel that events were pushing the story along with no depths explanation. The flow was easy to understand yet there were details that linked to these events were not presented may ended up confusing. The romance of the leads was not touching, satisfying and moving. Many will root for the couple but it will never leave a deep and good impression. I believed if they had set a stronger foundation for the love to grow in the early episodes, the drama would be more fulfilling to watch. But it was suppose to be set in such a way that I think it was unfair of me to point this out. Sorry. I did not agree with how the makeup was done but again, there was a reason behind why was done such a way, that I shall not comment further. The drama didn't reveal which direction the ending will lead to, ended many query until the very end. I know many may not agree with the ending but this was an appropriate ending which fit the story. If you keep an open mind, there may had been dropping hints that it was the ending which you have been looking for.
This is one of the very few dramas that I am deeply invested in especially few of the characters. TanTaiJin is one. I love the way they set the story where many of us tend to think out of the box. For example, why right or left eye shed more tears than the other. I love that part. I was reminded by a viewer which took me whole night to analyze it even though I roughly already have an answer to the question. The story will always encourage you to think and to analyse. All the actors/ actresses took their roles seriously. Three couples need to play different roles. They were excellent in portraying their roles. I feel that I can see how these roles were portrayed differently. Especially LuoYunXi, he was amazing. He was able to express differently with his eyes for three different characters…. Expressive eyes/ soulful eyes. There were differences when he was portraying TanTaiJin and CangJiuMin (note:- same person) as well. Hats off to you dear LuoYunXi.
If you decide to join us for this roller coaster ride, I hope you will enjoy every moment of it.
