agreed I ate this up as well. the ML obsession and possessiveness was great tv. but whenever I allowed my brain to turn back to IRL I would scream at the screen that he's going past her consent. but then I would turn my brain back off and think he's sexy as heck

This was a fun break from my normal watchlist. I love how it kept to just the main plot whereas if this was a typical format drama it could have the same storyline but then give me other characters and their stories etc. sometimes I do just want to know about the main couple and that's it. This was my first vertical drama and it was a fun 90 mins

I thought the same thing repeatedly and then let it go and enjoyed the ride. It's not supposed to make sense once you accept it then it's so much fun. The same thing happened with me while watching study group last year which was one of my favorite 2025 shows. Once I understood that the show was supposed to be exactly like the webtoon and not realistic then I enjoyed it and had so much fun

Yes he did, and he looked great in that too

I came just to say the actor playing Ju Gang Chan needs more roles. I have to see him on my screen more. He's so hot 🔥🔥.
He reminds me of the actor who played in the Glory as the father of the little girl/husband to the SFL. He was a more seasoned actor that also looked way too good in a suit and needed to be on our screens more as well.

Moon lovers is my GOAT kdrama. It was the first one I thought about when I mentioned the eclipse. A lot of times it takes a celestial phenomenon and almost always water. They fall in the water while the phenomenon is taking place 😆

I agree. one of the better more believable gender benders

exactly. I thought this was well shown in the first episode. They literally showed that the soul was down under the water on the bridge and that she merged with the princess when she fell under the water and landed on the same bridge under the twin moon.
maybe it's because I have watched way too many transmigrations and rebirth dramas etc. that whenever they show some kind of phenomenon in the sky eg eclipse, comets, twin or blood moons etc that means someone has body swapped, time traveled, jumped realities been reborn etc

great question. till the end of the moon is my favorite. I love the angst of Tantai Jin. I've rewatches it three times.

I just finished watching ep 30 and found myself thinking of LLTG several times in the past two eps. Lol and behold it's the same writer as LLTG. There are definitely some shared undertones in themes and character motivation. I totally see part of my favorite general Ling Bui in Xi Zheng. LLTG is my 2nd favorite c-drama and I wonder if PoJ is going to be able to reach that same level of perfection. Ten more episodes for me to find out.

I absolutely loved everything about this drama. The song from the OST that plays whenever our leads are having a moment will live rent free in my head for the next six months. I smiled so much in the last ten minutes of this episode that my face actually hurt. It's so rare the a drama sticks the landing for me. And this one totally did.
I don't have any issues with them not showing more of them in the present, bc I felt like the ML/FL brought more of their presents selves to their final moments together in the book. By using each other's real names and speaking about how they would be in the real world.

Other transmigration stories left me feeling like I had to have more in the present world like a dream within a dream or when Destiny brings the demon or guardians of the dafeng. But this one didn't do that to me

not necessarily. it is an open question even for Eunho as to what she saw regarding Siyeol's fate. bc she saw him being poor and not successful and WeSoek being famous, which is in fact the fate that they're in now. When that fate didn't originally happen she even questioned if what she saw was finally wrong for the first time. in turns out what she saw was still correct. From what I'm seeing the show hasn't really made it explicitly clear what the original "true" fate was. Was her premonition of things to come after she twisted their fates or was it of what was supposed to be had the accident not occurred?

I agree it's actually really distracting whenever I see the FL

I like most of the commenters B4 me am annoyed with the way the final two eps was editited. I ffwd through so many of Go-eun's scenes including her date with I-Geon yes he's clearly hot and deserves screentime. but I would have enjoyed seeing more of how him and Ha-eun became such good friends rather than more scenes of him and Go-eun.
Also I needed way more scenes of Min-Gee and Sueng-Il. I know I'm biased but they were my ship from day 1. After all of the mental energy and angst the PDs decided we didn't deserve to see any of their dating era. I'm so annoyed 😠

I completely agree. I didn't steal anyone's fate. The circumstances changed and he made his fate what it was out of hard work. Not to mention that we don't really know if what Eun Ho saw in her vision was the original fate or the 2nd fate. She only saw that Hyen Seok would be famous not when or how.

this is helpful. bc TTEOTM is my second favorite c-dramas only barely after LLtG. as much as I adore the ML in Shadow Love I haven't been able to force myself to pick it back up after ep 8. I have watched four other dramas since I paused SL. but still keep coming back to it in case I gave up to fast. but if what you said is true then it makes sense. I have found the plot a little boring for SL. I never once felt that with TTEOTM. in fact everything about the plot and story of TTEOTM IMO is addictive.

I've seen all of these as well except moonlit reunion. I would definitely go with fated hearts or love in the clouds first. both equally entertaining watches followed my LoFG and SL that way you can watch the ML in back to back dramas.

Idk, I don't get why so much disdain for the ending. I literally put off watching this for so long bc the non-spoiler reviews plus even my AI chatbot said the ending is controversial and fans don't like it. I loathed when a drama doesn't stick the landing for whatever reason such as rushed at the end, loose ends that don't make sense etc. But I didn't get any of that other than the silly illusion the princess has at the end. Which was annoying or frustrating but more eye rolling than anything.
I guess I'm built different in not needing to have a HE. In fact sometimes the unrealistic HE is what frustrates me with some dramas. There are never really any high stakes bc you know no plot armor plot armor for the ML/FL bc we gotta have a HE. Those kind of dramas don't really make me feel anything bc sometimes they feel unearned. This ending felt realistic to me. They were under untenable circumstances. To me I would have yawned at the Wu emporer showing up at the exact right moment to save our ML and the FL.
I do agree however that it did feel like some of the last episodes between 30-40 were unnecessary and this show probably would have been better off telling the story with 36 eps. But I really can't wrap my head around why this show's ending has so much hate. There have to be viewers out there like myself who appreciate a great story that makes you care for the characters, their development and relationships and that makes you willing to go on the journey while loving every moment of it no matter how it ends.

Same. I can't say I love him. but I do really like his character. The comments are great reminders to me how we all can see the world and people/characters differently.

I would recommend when destiny brings the demon. Their chemistry is off the charts.
