A drama worth rewatching and naturally will get you binging.

I started the year binging some amazing cdramas from last year (like Love between Fairy and Devil, Who Rules the World, Love like the galaxy and The Starry Love) and I was looking for something good in the xianxia genre that could live up to my high expectations after having watched those dramas (and starting but not continuing some other ones because they didn't have the same grip those did).

When I started Till the end of the moon I was confused and thought the first episode was a bit too packed (both with info and action), but still wanted to keep watching. I actually plan to rewatch/binge this sometime this year to see if binge watching makes any difference in my opinion, as supposed to watching arc by arc as I did now.

The costumes are AMAZING, special effects are also on point, but costumes and make-up had me in awe. I LOVE LOVE Sangjiu's glittery makeup and hair decorations as the clam princess.

Storywise it keeps you wondering. In the beginning it had me thinking "how is this enemies to lovers type of situation going to work out?", since there didn't seem to be any basis for them to even like, let alone love each other. However things slowly work out and it's both beautiful and sad.
I'd have loved it if there were more episodes to explore the relationship between the FL and ML, as well as the other couples.

The chemistry between the couples was so good. It might have been short but I loved the little break from all the misunderstandings between the FL and ML (as Li Susu and Cang Jiumin) and the honest talk, communication is truly beautiful! The second best couple for me is Ye Qingyu and Pian Ran, if there was a sequel of these two I'd definitely watch it! The courageous, supportive man who's also a fool in love and the cute fox that always teases him but has deep scars of her own?? (Their relationship was probably the healthiest one too, as compared to the other two couples)

I rated the music 9.5 because it was good and the lyrics were fitting of the scenes but it didn't always have the impact I wanted it to have, especially in certain scenes where it could have been sadder and conveyed the emotions better.

I cried a lot watching this, I was also frustrated one too many times with all the lies and misunderstandigs...but those are things I expect from this genre anyway.

I liked how the show went with "no-one is purely evil", our protagonist might have been destined to be so but eventually chose his own destiny.

Differently good from the webtoon

Having read the webtoon before the drama was released I had my own expectations, some were met and some not. But I wasn't disappointed by those that weren't met as they put other elements that weren't there in the webtoon.

This is a classic rom-com kdrama. If you're not a fan of the genre it's totally okay and you'll probably not be a fan of all the clichés in it.

I however like clichés and I like it even more when the comedy is based on those clichés. The characters as well as the viewers know that some things don't make sense and aren't meant to be taken seriously. Your reaction to a lot of the clichés will be to laugh at how ridiculous they sound/appear.

That's also the beauty of this drama, it's light-hearted, funny and sweet. It's easy to tell this is a rom-com as it's full of unrealistic situations. It's an easy watch if you like the genre.
