Drama-Digest
The cultivator elders believe it is essential to send someone back in time to learn the genesis of the demon ruler and stop his revival in a time when demons rule over cultivators and mortals. Assuming the persona of mortal Ye Xi Wu, the second daughter of General Yen, Li Su Su accepts the task. She is desperate to destroy Tantai Jin, the prisoner prince and future demon lord to whom she is married. She is aware that he will kill many people in the future. But as she watches Tantai Jin’s previous existence and ascent to power, an unexpected story comes to light that complicates her search.
The Feel-Good Part
Each character was utilized correctly, had a purpose, and wasn’t “lost.” This kind of funding makes the story worth telling as a play. The drama appeared great in VFX, costumes, and overall scope, and the subject merited being delivered on a scale this grand. I include it as a positive aspect of the drama because, unlike other ‘excellent’ Xianxia dramas I’ve watched in the past, there were few filler sequences. The original program was planned for 56 episodes, but it had to be cut, influencing the show’s pace. The storyline moved quickly. Every episode involved a significant event. The performance in this drama, in particular by Luo Yunxi as he portrayed Tantai Jin, the Ancient Demon Lord, Cang Jiumin, and Ming Ye in various phases and stages, was simply masterful. He dubbed his own voice for the drama, which was beneficial. The chemistry between Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi unifies the theater.
The Disappointing Factor
Tantai Jin, the would-be Devil God (Luo Yunxi), and Li Susu, determined to stop him by any means necessary, are at the story’s center. The plot wasn’t as horrible at first; it was fantastic until it made sense, but when people fail to interact and deviate from the idea of “lied for his own good,” it becomes frustrating.
In-Depth Analysis
It initially appears to be a regular xianxia drama: a goddess seeking to save the world and a vicious monster. But you’ll realize this is different after watching the first two episodes. The demon is still a victimized, helpless individual who has endured maltreatment his entire life. He has no family, friends, or feelings because no one has ever expressed love or care for him. Character growth and plot development are excellent. This xianxia, in contrast to others, has a single lifetime and no trials. Throughout the entire story, every character has a recollection. Time travel is involved, but it’s simple. The narrative has a seamless, continuous flow. Observe this tale using xianxia logic, not with your sense. The music was decent but not as memorable; it was still standing. The music did, however, grow on you and subtly nudge your emotions. The music production was outstanding. Not a catchy tune, but unquestionably heartbreaking. The lyrics were undoubtedly moving. The music might not jump out to the untrained ear, but individuals who have a profound grasp of music will be able to tell how beautifully the piece was produced.
Star Power
The actors have outdone themselves when a character makes you want to KILL them or SAVE them from the world! Here, every actor, from the key characters to the plain maid, did such an outstanding job depicting their roles that you genuinely connected to the story’s emotions.
Overall Opinion
If you’re seeking a xianxia drama that defies expectations and offers a novel perspective on the genre, “Till the End of the Moon” is a must-watch. The male and female leads are primarily responsible for the drama’s enjoyment. Despite the less-than-stellar cinematography, the filmmakers did an excellent job on the sequences that mattered. The drama will appeal to those who appreciate angst-filled love tragedies. This one is a pleasure, especially if you’re a Bai Lu or Luo Yunxi fan.
