You are watching CDrama. This is already among passionate kiss drama scenes I seen. Most CDrama tend to give forehead or light lips kiss. Only western show have more passionate real life bedroom activities. I prefer them wear clothing and have real passionate kiss. I don’t want actor/actress to be cancelled. They are always at risks for a career ending punishment.

No but you know for a fact half of the people that watches this drama is watching for bai lu. On the youku rating comments bubble where we rate things. A lot like a lot of people just said bai lu that’s literally the only reason why they are watching it and the rest are just saying how stupid the story is, but I think in my opinion it’s not even that bad I mean it’s creative and the fight scenes are really good. I don’t see the difference between this and love between fairy and devil

True

[@TheMRock888]

I usually skip fighting scenes in Chinese fantasy romance dramas cause I think they can look silly, but for this one I found myself rewinding, especially in the fight scenes with the devil lord, because the cgi, choreo, and the actor’s performances where so good! Especially the male lead, the actor is very graceful when he acts out fight poses, and I truly enjoy them 😊

[@kalitoli9022]

After long time I have found a drama which makes me impatient for next ep, I'm totally liking it. I know there are some flaws but it can be overlooked by fantastic acting, good chemistry, exciting plot and love the main guy as a bad boy

[@JoannaMaymusings]

Apparently I’m living in an alternate universe because I stinking love this drama. I don’t get the fandom wars: I loved LBFAD too and this is a distinct story and there’s plenty of room in my heart for both. I think the lead actors are absolutely fabulous - so much so that I also started Love is Sweet which I had not seen. I don’t think any other storylines matter much in this one: if they had more than 40 episodes, they probably could have done more with side stories, but I don’t care because the leads and primary storyline can carry it for me. I thought the dream sequence was interesting as it’s really completely unrelated to their story, but walking in another’s shoes gives different perspective of your life. I agree that jealous female villain tropes are overdone.

[@am99__]

Their chemistry in Love is Sweet is OFF THE CHARTS! It's actually the that show that made me go WOW over the pair. They are soooo sweet both in and off screen, such good friends with so much rapport too. Watching their footages either each other always make me smile. Literally cannot have enough of them

The others is kinda meh for me, but I'm staying for his acting. I can just skip when the story gets too boring. I'm only here for his acting anyway, lol.

[@saqweq]

I don’t care for the CGI video-game visuals but the actors actually have zero chemistry. The acting is also cringe, especially the male lead. People should stop supporting shitty Chinese dramas, they will literally never improve and continue to produce bullshit, even though they are capable of so much more. I don’t understand how so many good Western shows exist but Western fans of Chinese dramas always have such bad taste.

[@lovemystuff8178]

Your comments about the drama are on point.But I don't know what's in this drama that got me hooked up until now.Maybe the chemistry of the main leads which was overflowing that it beats all the bad things about this drama.

[@misachitachibana7214]

It is the deep themes behind the story, showing you how hypocritical the world can be and how heroes can be selfish, villains can be kind. It actually truly displaces the entire hero and villain thing. It shows you how you judge harshly and with great prejudice without knowing and understanding what another may be going through. It also showcases change, that change can happen with a little bit of faith. Relationships can be mended once communication, compromising and understanding are present. It shows you how good intention can change and how righteous looking people aren't all that righteous. There are numerous other themes to be mentioned that are very deep like the effects of bullying and the reward of kindness or even the importance of humbleness. All of these deeper meanings in life applied to the fantasy plot of literally fantasy caused your enthrallment. It sort of brings me away from reality while educating me on reality and I like that.

[@rababsellama1723]

Yeah for sure.the chemistry between the lead actors is sooo freaking good and there acting is so well. The story is so simple but the CGI and the plot and twist in this drama is good

[@j.rosadahlia3960]

At first, I was hesitant to watch Till The End of The Moon because of the makeup. Then I watched the drama and even as a skeptical viewer I applauded Luo Yunxi for his portrayal on a very complex and contradictive character of Tantai Jin. But man,,those makeups were really disturbing. And Luo Yunxi looked ghostly for being extremely skinny! But, again, Luo Yunxi acting skill as Tantai Jin was slayed. Could never chose a better portrayal of conflicting devil god. Luo Yunxi deserves an award as the best actor of the year.

[@CouaBoua]

Valid points made but this drama is like CRACK to me right now. I love LYX & BL together. Ming Ye x Sang Jiu is liiiiiiiife. 🤣

[@ihearthikary22]

I actually really really loved this drama to the point of subscribing to Youku for the first time! With that said though, even before watching this review I do hold the same critics as you particularly on the VERY VERY POOR lighting, and the overdone trope (miscommunication, love triangle, 2FL sabotage) that we should’ve already move away from in 2023. But then again this was based on a book and I’m not sure which year it came out. The only thing I disagree with you is the makeup, this is the most ‘alive’ makeup Luo Yunxi ever had out of all his period dramas. Usually his makeup always made him look sickly.

[@softerhaze]

yes i love his makeup as well, they couldve cut it down a bit with the under eyes and at least filtered it to make it less cakey, but its beautiful! i think it definitely improves in later episodes, ive noticed its much more smoother for everyone now. his makeup is very fitting for his ethereal ‘evil’ character :)

[@DianaOcansey]

you see? i'm just out here enjoying the beautiful colours in this drama. oh boy i'm i tired with the whites and grays in period dramas. Leo looks great, infact they all look great, story line could have been developed better, but i'm enjoying it regardless. sorry Avenue X but i really liked their break up sex..lol

[@multistan9582]

The overall makeup application was good for me....I like how LYX looks, so eternal and beautiful, very handsome plus the make up brings out his different mood and personality at given points...what got me is when the camera zoomed in and then one can see the mishaps taken place. For a high quality Xianxia , these small things as accurate makeup application its suppose to be done by professionals so I kinda squinted my eyes at the zoomed in flaws...lol

What AVX say are mostly based off the drama production faults, as in lighting, direction, too fast paced, plot logic, action made by the actors, makeup flaws... etc... Not an attack on the actors acting....though I really think she could have separate the rant and what actually works or went well with the drama...but it was a rant soo....its her opinion at the end of the day.... Though I agree with some, it doesn't really take away from the drama if one watch it unbiasly....if the drama is not someones cup of tea then no matter what , they won't like it, worse if they hate the actors are keep comparing it to LBFAD.... Never let another opinion stop you from trying something out... What they find off or not likeable you may not...So I advice anyone who is curious, check out the drama for themselves and if they don't like it the just drop it and move on....so many other dramas are out too... Everyone have different taste....what works for you may not works for me...and vice versa....

Guys we're enjoying it because there is a lot to love about this drama and we can obviously see it. I wasn't actually irritated by her rant at all the more you know what you're appreciating about the drama the more you will feel that the things she mentioned are totally valid but the artistry that is done right more than offset it for me

[@kara-karina8530]

I accept all your critique but it's still one of the best dramas I've seen this year, and there is one reason. Leo Luo and Bai Lu have amazing chemistry together, and Leo Luo is such a lovely antihero. I am totally obsessed with him. Just 100% eye candy. And I don't care about anything else. Also, I think his robes in human world are gorgeous. 😂😍😍 All the drama around this drama with hashtags and promos will not be seen by international viewers, and we can just enjoy the actors as they are. And another thing I wanted to point out. This is a total catnip for a lover of paranormal romance genre if you ever read any such books. So, I am interested in reading the actual novel to get more of the plot. It gives me nostalgia for all the crazy tropes. 🤪

[@sandrapriest1957]

Couldn’t agree with you more😁Love Bai Lu in everything she does - this is a colourful, exciting drama with evil characters. It is not a serious masterpiece just a lighthearted escapism. Chill haters❤

[@am99__]

Oh myyy when you mentioned abt paranormal romance in the end it gives me feels 😂😍 back to all those days when I fangirl over demon / vampire / supernatural romance and xianxia tbh is by far the most romantic perhaps because it's so quintessentially romantic in a chinese way that I feel that nothing else ever quites compare to that. The 三生三世 kind of setting really does it for me, it makes love and life itself appear so much more vast in the grand scheme of things and that moves me on an entirely different level.

[@thaomckay8797]

On a technical level; CGI, lighting, makeup, costumes, set design etc., Love Between Fairy and Devil was the better PRODUCTION. But there was no chemistry between Dylan Wang and Esther Yu, and I could not stand her character. I’m not spending 40 + hours of my life on a romance drama to feel absolutely nothing. I want ALL THE FEELS. Which is why Till the End of the Moon is the much much much better PRODUCT - Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu’s chemistry is intoxicating, their characters were INTERESTING and nuanced, and the plot was interesting. All of that makes any imperfect technical aspects invisible. It didn’t matter that none of the other characters were developed - we’re all in Tantai Jin’s and Li SuSu’s world bitches so we’re just here for that ride. 😂 I think Li SuSu’s approach to Tantai Jin initially is believable for her character. He initially looks very weak and pathetic - it’s hard to believe that this is the same man who killed a bunch of immortals, so she’s cautious and suspicious, and approaches him to confirm. She is horrified when she recognizes that he is indeed the Devil God. But she was raised with strong morals and really grappled with torturing and punishing an innocent mortal who had not done anything evil yet - torturing and punishing him would make her as bad as all the other people. I also think being knocked out and then being immediately chased by bandits when you come to is going to make you disoriented enough to not break down at that moment and then I think Li SuSu becomes focused on the task at hand - how to remove the evil bone / how to save him from becoming the Devil God in the first place through kindness. It’s very consistent with her character. I also think it was Sang Jiu’s choice to save Ming Ye. The circumstances leading up to her saving him was not because of him but because of another female’s actions. I don’t think Ming Ye caused Sang Jiu to lose her agency. And break up sex is definitely a thing 😂😂 It’s funny how devisive this drama is, all how much it is like crack for people even though it’s so imperfect - it’s got a certain je ne sais quoi, mainly in the form of Luo Yunxi (and Bai Lu).😅

The storyline starts really in actual world that has no Gods or Immortals anymore. :D So refreshing and different start. I love the costumes, even I must agree they are not very practical for the actors of the show and the make up... you are so right about that. It's the most bad part of this, but I let it through by thinking that this is dystopian xianxia, a bit different than traditional ones. This is set up in the world that it is chaos and how that chaos can be prevented. And I am happy that you told that they had to do so much editing and cutting because of the 40 episodes recommedation. It explains some of the plot holes I've noticed. In my honest opinion, even you rant about it and give critique, it is still one of the best ones I've seen and I've seen these a lot... It is a shame I´ve heard this drama won't have a happy ending, if it is true to canon. BTW you don't need to lose your mental health about my comments.

Not getting into technical things which you are more of an expert with but for overall entertainment, 3 goldmines for me! Someone mentioned this show is like crack and you cant wait for the next one and I have to agree. I even looked up Youku but decided against it. So I will just be patient and wait for youtube and Viki to catch up but man there is something about the way Luo Yunxi stares, tilts his head, or just his eyes but it is hypnotically captivating!!

[@Mia-rn2gk]

I so agree! Luo has a kind of hypnotic appeal that I can't resist. Obviously not the cup of tea if you are a woman who is into USA type macho man all muscles no brains. But for me Luo is mesmerising and an incredibly talented actor.

I'm love this drama... Reminds me a lot of love between fairy and Devil in a way, not deny, but have your own history and layers. Of course have It some fails, but the plot of main male being bullying it's too good and i love the way they progression the plot, and when he get Power not retail as revenge but act with justice, against all we know about him of the future. You are on 17 Episodes, that means the dream part, so it's too early to make a video and form a solid critic. The dream looks disconnect to the main history, with a superficial look, but it's more too deep. It's a warning and a true face of the real personality. We see by the Yu'sisters, who's before The dream seems kindness and injusticed. I High recommend you keep watching

[@yaelthesnail]

That scene where she first goes back in time and is immediately happy-go-lucky was so jarring! It also makes it impossible to take her resentment towards the ML seriously, because we as the audience haven't really been shown any of her relationships with the family she's just lost. So it's ONLY through her ongoing grief that we can get invested in her sense of loss. But it just isn't there!

[@am99__]

It isn't there because it is supposed to have transformed into a sense of vocation to save her family and ppl in the 仙門 after she had that conversation with the Time God who basically told her that this is your destinied responsibility basically, and she heard it from her father as well right before she was sucked into the time travelling light. She's already picked up the pieces and 振作ed and knows that she has to pretend to be someone else now in yexiwu's body, so it would not have worked at all if she kept griefing openly anyway.

@@yaelthesnail I feel like yea there just have been some scenes like that that have been cut for brevity. It read through alot of comments on this video and interestingly a few did point out the sensd of disjointedness between scenes. It does make a difference, but also I think for them to chop things down from 60 to 40 episodes is quite nearly impossible but they managed it so I would be more lenient when it comes to that and try to focus more on the overall storytelling knowing things have been forcibly condensed

[@newname3718]

​@@yaelthesnail yep agree. I am not expecting grievance, but a few second shot of her trying to calm herself down and get herself together to carry out whatever mission her dad gave her is enough.

Oh well. I'm inlove with this drama! Bai Lu's acting is fantastic. I find the dream sequence beautifullysad🤩🤩🤩. We see different story, of different couples.

I am now on episode 39 and can't wait for tomorrow's farewell. I had re-watch the Thai dubbed version to episode 6 now as well. I miss this couple like crazy and couldn't sleep or focus for a month now because I am super glued to their chemistry in TTEOM. I don't see or notice any of the rants mentioned here. I only wish they did not cut the episodes to short it out. However, cutting is good too for faster pace to eliminate non essential scenes. This is the best drama I have watched since decades ago. Bai Lu and Lou Yunxi are the perfect choice to make this drama on 🔥 fire.

[@cindeetv460]

Lol and she rapes him. Her lines are “this will take away your physical strength” “take away your voice” and gets on top of him when he’s powerless and does what she likes with him. Lol just imagine if the roles were reversed and he said these things, and did this to her lol it’s called rape. Even between couples, even married couples, there’s something called consent.

[@plambert1349]

I do not agree that she raped him. It was clear that he found her compelling. Look back on the scene. See his reaction to her approach, see his eyes, how he held her hand, how he responded to her. That was a welcome. He was not averse to her forward approach, in fact he participated. He was a willing and happy participant. Yes I know what she said about taking away his voice etc, but his whole demeanour was, "I want this". Had he just lain back and took it, that would have been an argument. She read him right. I think that if on her approach he had displayed disgust or anger or some other antagonistic reaction, she might have been put off. Who knows! I am loving this show! 😀

[@sayurivkg]

I just finished watching this drama recently and personally I was really impressed with it. There was no boring episode and I liked it that it was very actioned packed and ofcourse is a drama full of angst. Is not an usual romantic Xianxia drama. Indeed some of the things you have mentioned also took me out from the story telling atmosphere: the makeup (first few episodes were horrible, all the actresses were white like a ghost), the lighting, the seasons (it made no sense, it was snowing, then next scene we had green trees and fields), characters wearing headpieces and their normal clothes even when sleeping and some parts of editing (at least the first few episodes). But overall it wasn't a bad drama at all, the costumes, the CGI and most important the Actors Acting saved up for the smaller flaws. I wish they would have had more episodes and not rush the ending and give us a few more minutes of a proper closure for all the characters.

[@Cindyct25]

I can always rely on you to give a level headed review. I thought I was crazy seeing everyone online gush over this, when after 18 episodes I’m just….annoyed 😂 the entire storyline just feels like a filler arc inside a filler arc with nice effects.

A tip to enjoy a drama is to not think with your brain. Just go with the flow and enjoy the acting. Don't think too much cause you will just be annoyed. Many dramas have so much plothole and annoying characters. Some have ridiculous story & confusing timeline and other flaws... If you focused on that you will just be stressed. Just remember that it's a fiction or a fantasy and everything will be justified 😅 I'm enjoying this drama basically because of the leads. Especially for Lou Younxi. His acting here is so good that I can't get over. I also likes the costume. At least they have many costumes to change for unlike some dramas. I agree that the story is ridiculous and the plot is always the same in some episode but that is really the formula of some chinese novel. The novel is more ridiculous than the drama itself so I don't have any complain on it. They really tone it down...

[@lemontreesour]

[@tsimyau5102]

i first found this drama through a manhua by the same name. the manhua only has a few chapters, so i got curious and binge watched the drama instead. i'd say that there are many cliches and icks that i just can't overlook in the plot, especially the villain being evil just for the sake of being evil. the devil god was born because there were sufferings and negative things in the world such as starvation, murder, etc, happening to living beings. it's also stated that as long as there are sufferings, the devil god can't perish. i don't remember whether it's explicitly explained in the drama or not, but by that logic, the devil god should be thriving if there are more beings suffering from those negative things. but no, the devil god's true purpose is destroying EVERYTHING in the world. wouldn't it mean that the devil god will lose his "ration"? how the hell will he even survive if there's no more suffering because there's no more living being??? who's gonna suffer if he kills all people, the devil god himself??? also, why does every villain in stories like video games, animes, dramas, always wanna destroy stuffs? like, what benefit do they get from it? it's never explained, there's no logic behind it. it's just because: "oh i'm the devil so i'm gonna do what people usually think as 'evil' without any valid logic and reason. ho ho ho." that's ridiculous. it's like kingdom hearts plot about "light" vs "darkness". it's just simplified to the point of stupidity: light = good, darkness = bad. what the fuck is that supposed to mean anyway? it just feels like a bunch of mumbo jumbo BS. there's also the ick typically found in badly executed fantasy/supernatural stories. i get it that this is a fantasy setting and not everything has to be realistic. but make it make sense, set a few ground rules. an example i can remember on top of my head is the OG devil god's capability to posses the body of a person with the evil bone inside of themselves. if he can posses anybody, why didn't he immediately posses TTJ when he could immediately take control of dimian's body? did the OG devil god need to wait a certain period of time? was there a prerequisite? it's never explained, or maybe i just don't remember. my point is, a good supernatural/fantasy stories have to have solid rules for their fantasy worlds. you can expand the story from just a few simple rules. a good example is death note. a mystical note book that can kill people if you write their name on it. it's simple, no complicated mumbo jumbo BS needed.

[@eerye70]

Here is my take on things. I am enjoying the show. I enjoy the actors and actresses and i am interested in the story. However, it is a struggle to keep it straight in my head sometimes because of the different sequences. But it is better than some others i have watched lately. But i really enjoy your critiques because i get to learn alot of information about the process and things to look for and be aware of. Sometimes i am screaming the same exact thing at my computer when i am watching, as you say. and sometimes i am like, hmmm yeah i totally see that now. The makeup and hair coloring and the funny costumes always make me laugh. it is so funny.

I agree with the makeup and lighting part. Also, at the beginning of the drama that hot and cold attitude of the FL drove me crazy. I thought of dropping this drama after episode 1 but watched through it, and now in episode 18, I think they finally found a pace. Like you can understand they need to progress this story quickly because come on they need to show 4 lifetimes and that's going to take time.

[@mayle4898]

Does anyone know the numbers for the budget of this drama or any other drama?

[@a.saraya7763]

I think it's because the series deviates from the plot of the original novel. In the novel, ML becomes a darker character and FL also torments him for a while, but she then realizes that ML also has a lot of betrayal and hatred from those around him, turning him evil. That is why she began to sympathize with him. However, I dislike the part in the memory of the dragon god and the clam princess's dream. Not a true ML and FL reincarnation, just different characters, so I don't know what that brings. The only advantage I can think of is that it can provide a brief history of the ancients, but these parts consume more episodes than necessary.

[@catherinechaw]

Absolutely agree with you regarding the makeup. I now understand why I feel strange whenever I see LYX' eyebrows in his face close up scene. And his eyes too. He looks like he cannot sleep for months.

I disagree with your point of view. I argue that art is a multidimensional and complex field, with diverse forms of representation. As an oil painter, I contend that an artwork's efficacy ought to be evaluated on its ability to evoke emotional resonance and aesthetic pleasure. It is noteworthy that several acclaimed artists did not adhere to the conventional principles of light and dark contrast in their artwork, which illustrates the heterogeneity and creativity present in the field of artistic representation. With respect to the plot, class distinctions have remained a fundamental feature of human societies throughout history, and serve as a crucial determinant of our socioeconomic organization. I submit that the possibility of foolish misunderstandings, that appear improbable in the real world, cannot be entirely discounted. Such misunderstand can, and have, transpired in my personal experience and in those around me. Owing to its beautiful visuals, engaging storyline, and satirical humor, I believe that this television series can be regarded as an accomplished piece of visual arts.

Personally, I like "Till the end of the moon" and will continue to watch it. Avenue X's criticisms are very valid and I often agree with them, but I don't follow them blindly, because there is always some subjectivity. For example, there are certain actors and actresses that she appreciates very much, whatever the drama may be, but whose performance, from my point of view, ends up being always the same type of characters, not daring to innovate. Furthermore, we must not forget that this drama had to be reduced to 40 episodes. Later, when I finish the drama, I will go back to review the criticisms that are presented here by Avenue X.
