Out and out luo yunxi drama

So i m a luo yunxi Indian fan since i saw his acting in love is sweet and ashes of love. He is my most fav cdrama actor. N i love his pairing with bai lu the most. So i was waiting for this drama since I saw they r coming back after love is sweet in this drama n the storyline was interesting too. After lbfad only this xanxia drama story was able to intrigue me. So i had decided to watch this drama wenever it airs. And it started off so soo good. But in between the story went off, i wanted to watch the intense love story of both but got disappointed with only one sided love story while li Susu/ye xiwu most of the times was only doing her mission. I didn't feel her love at all till the end, n so love story wise the plot ended up disappointing. It was a tragic love story of only tantai Jin, the lone warrior, the most tragic ckt i have ever seen in cdrama. And boy luo yunxi hands down u r so perfect, awesome, mind-blowing in every scene and ur handsome face just adds on to the beauty of every scene of yours. The other ckts were more or less good. I hated ybc n xio lin couple, had no interest in their story or other couple story too bt atleast pian ran n yqy had a better love story as it looked 2 sided not one sided like main couple story ? I wanted to enjoy yunlu chemistry here like i did in LIS bt i didn't get to becos of story. So i jst enjoyed their acting and loved it. Want another drama of both to compensate it now?
All in all watch this drama for CGI and acting of yunlu. Idk if i will rewatch it again. So 9/10 rating for jst yunxi acting and his handsome face. Would have given a 10 if they utilised yunlu chemistry with better intense love story like in LIS bt anyway.

Superb!

This drama is superb. The drama appeared on my recommended list on YouTube and of course I jumped on it immediately. With Luo Yun Xi (Leo) and Bai Lu as lead actors, it is a must watch for me. I have been looking out for Immortality, a Leo's drama, for ages - completed production but is not released and so this one is a compensation - actually an excellent compensation.

The style feels a little like Ashes of Love and Ten Mile Peach Blossom. If you enjoy either of these two dramas, you are likely to enjoy this drama. There are be some comments about plagiarism by a YouTube reviewer. The romance of the two leads spans three lives and in the dream, there is a God of War and a jealous third party, just like in Ten Mile Peach Blossom. There is this crossing of the river of the nether world - just like Ashes of Love. In an episode, when the dream is going on, for a moment I thought it resembles Ten Mile, but the story develops very differently and is very intriguing. And it certainly beats Ashes of Love, in my opinion.

Leo's and BaiLu's onscreen chemistry is excellent. The alternation of love and hatred was so well portrayed, with lots of fighting as well as kissing scenes. With Leo's excellent acting as a 'tortured' person who then rises to great heights, you see his superb acting skills displayed in this drama. He is a master of facial expressions - evil smile, sadness, forlorn, 'I-am-in-charge', happy, gentle and loving - he does them all befittingly. Alongside with him, Bai Lu is just as outstanding.

Of course, the costumes were fabulous, especially for Leo's, regardless of as the king, God of War, or the demon king, he is very regal. He is quite thin but still manage to look very majestic. Then there are all those graceful manoeuvres in his fighting scenes - he certainly put to play his ballet dancing skills very well.

And this drama has one of the best soundtrack. I have not come across a drama with so many lovely music pieces and so I say this is the top drama for music.

Additionally, do I need to add a very good looking cast with outstanding acting skills - China really has a big pool of acting talents.

I see mentions of a Part II and hope that Part II won't be like the Part II of Royal Nirvana - a completely dark turn of the drama, or like Joy of Life or Princess Agent where the sequel never see the light of day. These are going to spoil the mood completely.

I give this drama a all-round thumbs up.

The show put in effort to bring eye-candy scenes to your eyes.

I just am in love with complexity of the story. There was definitely flaws in the show whether it is the poor character shaping of the FL or the choppy cuts in the end of the last arc due to regulation issues. But my bias towards all the good side makes me wanna give this show a solid 10 because I’m just so impressed by the layers and layers of story unfolding in front of us. So, I applaud the TTEOTM team whether it is for the beautiful CGI, the amazing costumes, the actors and actresses’ acting, they brought this epic story into life. And I’m a satisfied audience to have witness this beauty coming into form.

it saw good

so the intro was what knocked me off literally in less than 1 minute as soon as th intro started i was like this is gonna be great not only that all the ost was a banger i love all the vocals. now come to the MC for me Tantai Jin (Luo Yunxi) is pretty much a fallen hero because he did nothing to anyone even in his first life where he had die in the cold almost everyone hated him for no reason. The side characters even throw rocks at him when he wasn't even paired up with FL this character truly lived a fucked and sad life. i like it because although he knows that no one would see him as a human being hurting he still put up a strong front even when he wanted FL to kill him he never try to tell her the truth he let her assume he killed his own master. this was one of his character flaws but it was a flaw that i like the reason being if she had truly loved him she would have found it out on her own but she didn't truth be told i think Tantai Jin love felted one-sided because he seriously takes all attacks she throws at him and he let her get away with it because it was his love for the FL that protected her from himself. i truly liked this character Tantai Jin.

Now on to FL she was an okay character that learn nothing from her past life like lets be honest all her past life Tantai Jin did everything for the FL to please her in a way. She straight up assumes that he was bad even knowing that he wasn't evil it pains me that every time she tried to save TTJ and says shit that she loves him when she didn't mean it and TTJ believe her heck even i would have fallen for her too but in the end, she was the one that fell harder because at the end she cried bucket when she saw the tomb of ML. ML fell first for FL and it was FL that fell harder for TTJ. There is a saying " you never know what you have not unless u lose it" and this can be said for the FL.

Anyways the ML and FL have chemistry and it fucking set the screen on fire for me. yes my heart was being ripped out from my chest when i saw how much TTJ suffered when he tried to save her with the yin and yang bracelet and when he was looking for Ye Xiwu for 500 years in the underworld. To be honest i would have rather him not feel love at all because it was this love that made him fall to this doom in suffering and torment but it was also what he need the most to heal his heart that had given up on the world that treated him worst than garbage. TTJ made me feel for him because in the end he sacrifice himself for everyone just for the love he has for FL.

Moving on i don't like the 2nd lead couple which was Ye Bingchang (Chen Duling) and Xiao Lin/ Gongye Jiwu(Deng Wei) don't get me wrong i like both actors but i swear i fucking hate the character that they act i can't stand these two they make my blood boils because most misunderstandings have steam from these 2 between the main leads. I may not like the 2nd couple but holy fucking shit the 3rd couple fucking killed me i like Ye Qing Yu (Eddy Geng) and Pianran (Sun Zhenni) they were the best i like this ship as much as i like the main couple ship although i don't too much like the FL character they make good chemistry.

Did i like the end kind of i'm not complaining i know what i was signing myself up for when i started watching this type of drama because the almost never have a happy ending. I also feel like going to rewatch it and fucking rip my heart out again from my chest.

Hats off to the creators, actors, actresses, and directors for creating and making this show happen.

Of love and tragedy: Till the end of the moon

I don't even know how to start this to be honest...

If you want a drama that will give you a heart wrenching story with beautifully complex characters, a drama that will consume you to the point of no return then THIS is the one for you. The intensity that this drama made me feel is unparalleled with anything I have ever felt and did not even expect to feel when I started it. It simultaneously made me love and hate the drama sometimes! (coincidentally a theme for the drama as well lol)

Yes there were plot holes, inconsistencies, rushed parts, glaring editing issues that made the viewing experience a tad uncomfortable but due to an experienced cast and crew it was not detrimental. The STRONGEST points for the drama is the acting, the OST, the costumes, the script, and the visual effects + action scenes in that exact particular order i my opinion. The chemistry and the intensity between the main leads at certain scenes were so powerful you just can't help but be overwhelmed and just sit in a daze after an episode ends.

Now, for the very controversial ending that people has a love/hate relationship with. Yes, it was unsatisfying. 100%. Did it match the character arc? Yes. But it also created an oversight in the plot that the writers overlooked which I think could not be helped because of the chinese censorship of 40 ep regulations. This story needed at least 5 more episodes to tie up loose ends and give the main characters THEIR PROPER ENDING. The events that they labeled as ending was needed and valid but that should NOT have been the ending. That is my ONLY gripe with this show. I know and understand why they did it but I still can't accept it unfortunately.

However, to be very honest, the saddest part for me was not the ending but the fact that there will never be another Till the end of the moon. This is a very unconventional and ambitious story. There might be ones with more budget, maybe hopefully more episodes but it will not be this one.

Enchanting Worlds and Irresistible Charisma

"Till The End Of The Moon" is an exceptional fantasy series that immerses its audience into a world of cultivators, mortals, and demons. At its core is an enigmatic Demon Lord and a powerful woman....

What makes this series so captivating is its emotionally intricate and relatable characters. One of the most engaging elements is the portrayal of the male lead, played masterfully by Luo Yun Xi. Tan Tai Jin is an antihero whose journey from an ordinary prince to the Demon Lord is a tale of loss, suffering, and unfulfilled desires. The series deftly portrays his inner turmoil and the emotional burden of his choices, making him a surprisingly sympathetic figure despite his villainous nature. Additionally, Luo Yun Xi's good looks and commanding presence on screen make him an ideal fit for the role. The female lead, played by Bai Lu, is equally impressive. She delivers a striking performance, imbuing her character with strength, vulnerability, and a fierce determination to save the world from darkness. The story is fast-paced, even though it falls deep into the fantasy genre, and keeps viewers engaged with its unexpected twists and turns.

Furthermore, the series showcases breathtaking visuals and an enchanting soundtrack that perfectly captures the magic and mystery of its fantastical realm. The production and storytelling are first-rate, and the chemistry between the leading actors is palpable, adding another layer of depth to the story's complex relationships.

Moreover, the costumes design for all the characters in the series are a true work of art, transporting viewers to a world of opulence and splendor. The attention to detail in each garment, from the embroidery to the textures and colors, is making each scene a feast for the eyes.

While the series boasts several strengths, it is not without its flaws. The uneven pacing of the story can be noticeable, with some episodes feeling rushed while others drag on. However, these minor shortcomings do not significantly impact the overall quality of the series, making it a worthwhile watch.

In conclusion, "Till The End Of The Moon" is a must-see for fans of both fantasy and romance.

3 Major Reason to Watch This Drama

To be fair the drama is very good. It was magnificent where it did well. It’s a pity that it will sit below some of the most epic drama till date just because this drama need to meet current airing regulations. It’s very unfair to compare a 70+ ep drama (or a 2 seasons drama) with one that was only allowed to broadcast 40 ep max. The editing team could have done a better job editing the drama but they might also be running on a tight schedule to fix the episode count before broadcast date.

There are many places where the drama shined.
Story/backdrop: The story was intriguing, complex, and unique. From the get go, it showed us the end of the world is not just a vague idea, it’s very real. We as the audience witnessed it and the FL whose shoulders we’re watching the tale unfold witnessed it: the end of the world in a xianxia universe. She lost her home and all her love ones in an instant. And from that point on the audience should be aware of what the FL is working against, the fate of the world and fate of ML where she was the only fighter. I remember reading about some people comments in which they questions her actions and decision. An example was her decision to save Xiao Lin. For me, her actions were consistent with her character. She have seen her elder disciple brother Gongye Jiwu dying in front of her. She probably didn’t want to see that happen again. BUT I did wonder why she didn’t try to talk to ML first. When it comes to Xiao Lin, people question why she never considered the political implications and what her action means. For me, I noticed very early on that FL never tried to understand ML’s political position as hostage prince. I was slightly frustrated with her cluelessness about that aspect of the story until it hit me again: she’s an immortal, the only descendant of a god. Of course she couldn’t understand worldly conflict of interest, political interest. For her nothing is more important than preventing the end of the world and saving the love ones she had lost.

Gender dynamics/ relationship: Another unique aspect of the tale is the gender dynamics were flipped. The girls are almost always coming to the rescue and the boys were kinda the damsel in distress… lol it’s cool and funny. Actually rather than saying gender roles were reverse, it also seems like a learning experience for FL and ML to learn to establish a relationship of love, trust, and consideration. In the beginning, the FL dominated their relationship. In the middle, the ML dominated their relationship. By the end, they seem to learn none of that mattered. What mattered is that they loved each other.

Art style: At first I found the style gaudy and exaggerated. As I watch, I realize that it’s because the setting is different from other xianxia. I watched a lot of Daoist style xianxia (that has a 天帝, but this one is more Buddhist/Indian style xianxia. I notice the halos, the clothing style called dunhuang, the architecture style of Shangqing God realm. I loved it. It gives the drama a different feel and imbues the drama with a different kind of mystical qualities.

All in all my verdict is that it’s still an awesome drama to watch. The ending was not perfect and it was even slightly disappointing. But the ending doesn’t ruin the overall story. You will definitely enjoy it.

Amazing cast with near perfect story

If you are too bored to do anything in your life or if you want a break from hectic life schedules, let me tell you this is not the drama you seek,better try a sweet romcom like love is sweet from the same cast. .Kudos to the actors ,they make us connect with the characters effortlessly .We will be so emotionally invested in the main leads and sometimes will even forget that all this is fiction.Plot twists ,blood spills ,cgi ,ost,costumes evrything in this drama is better compared with it's peers.This drama is perfect for those who likes grey shaded characters (personally i hate saints so kind of worked out for me).All i can say is you will be in for a mesmerizing ride . Definitely a worth watch masterpiece.

Drama is finally here and I am loving it BUT....

It was such a long wait and I must say usually most of the hyped shows do not live upto the expectations as we have seen with many dramas in the past and tbh I was afraid it might go down the same lane after watching the the first episode for few minutes. But thank goodness they didn't stretch that part for long and we jumped into the mortal arc right away. That is where the main story will unfold.

The beginning was little hectic plus waaay too fast that I found myself little overwhelmed with all the fight, death and sacrifice and sinister expression of ML his lackeys. They introduced the main characters way too fast that is what I thought. I couldn't concentrate on anything. From fight to amazing graphics. It was happening too fast for me to process it all. (Some demon or god fight probably, was all in my mind) I did not feel much emotions as characters were dying right off the bat.

Thankfully we came fast in the real part and I could take breather and they explained pretty much every important thing about the earlier fight later on. The show literally turned into something else and I knew with Bailu's comedic expressions that this role is just for her. She nailed her character into this new role while the earlier one just looked like a beautiful doll without much feelings or expressions. (She looked so stiff back then).
We all know both ML and FL will have a great chemistry as the duo already gave us a hit drama in the past. There is no doubt when it comes to their acting. It was flawless like their costume and amazing set design. I loved the music as well. I was little sceptical whether it will be another Love between fairy or Devil but surprisingly it turned out something else. And we got a Devil, conniving and oppressed ML and a kind hearted soul in villainess' bodyas a FL . I am loving ML's evil smirks and expressions and to some extent felt good when he indulged in his revenge. The domestic abuse and bullying can turn anyone into a devil fs.
I am loving it so far. It is not just a cliche story like any other costume drama and I have high hopes now. Check out the drama you won't be disappointed.

PS: At this point I have already started to read the novel while waiting for the new episodes. I can't believe how much they have changed the storyline just to make it more audiance friendly. ML is pure evil and a real psychopath to the core in novel. Xi Wu/ Su su's actions which looked annoying and stupid in some scenes of the drama are actually the original scenes from novel (her character is pretty much same in the novel and drama. On the other hand Tantaijin/ devil lord is the one who is turned more likable in drama. Everyone sympathies with him while watching drama but in the novel you will hate him for sure. Sigh...it is unbearable to some extent. They did a really good job in changing ML's character in a way where we would love him and obviously Luo Yunxi's acting is amazing. I really don't like the way they are editing the episodes especially in the later parts. It is so weird and certain parts are not making much sense due to the episode limit. They are rushing really badly because they need to finish the story within few episodes. I really hate this episode limitation thing for real.
PS II: DRAMA ENDED on a cryptic note just as we all feared. After this I don't think I have much expectations from Xianxia dramas. Every good show ends up in the same way. I had to change my ratings. just because of the editing. Whoever does the editing in this show... *I am coming for ya*. Worse edited show ever. Rushed ending with crappy editing completely ruined it all (for me atleast). I would suggest people to go watch Love is sweet after finishing this and imagine it as their modern reincarnation to soothe your heart.
