Xianxia C-drama Till the End of the Moon with Bai Lu and Luo Yun Xi Continues Strong Youku Viewership But Opens Low on Douban with 6.2 Ratings

View Comments

• 6 is a decent rating and I didn't expect more as the drama has construction problems. The plot is predictable and gathers cliché elements, the behavior of the protagonists and antagonists has no depth. They are limited to one-dimensional characteristics.

  Luo Yun Xi's acting is good as expected, but the writing of his character is inconsistent due to the speed at which the events around his progress.

  I don't mind his physique as I recently finished watching a series that had a tall, muscular actor with zero presence and acting skills. Luo Yun Xi fits the physical description of Tantai Jin and is bringing him to life.

  Here is the first time I have seen Bai Lu and I am satisfied with her work. The only thing I wish is that Ye Xiwu doesn't continue to go downhill, as a character she has the most writing problems.

  TTEOTM is a basic drama but for some reason I haven't felt like dropping it yet.

  • Somehow I wanna you spill the beans on that tall muscular actor so I can check on it 🤣

• Tantai Jin does not have an imposing stature, so the actor is perfect for the character.

• This drama is one of the many in this genre like those before where the fans of the actor and actresses like Chen Dou ling, Bai Lu, Luo Yunxi love it, others looking from outside just based on the quality of the show itself probably not! As such, the Douban rating reflects that polarization in views, thus this rating!

  • There are people who can't separate their considerations from the plot objectively so....

  • Actually there is also a third group, who haven't watched a total of 5 episodes from the series( or even 1) and have been spreading hate and criticism since before it even started. And their criticism is only based on the trailers. I'm not a specific fan of any of the actors ( the fox lady seems really cute though), but I liked the original work and despite the changes and some rushed plot devices, I'm still enjoying the drama, and I was astonished by the amount of hate it was getting on weibo due to some shallow reasons( many of them had nothing to do with the script or overall quality of the drama) it's one of the better xianxias in recent years.

    • That is common for majority traffic actor's dramas unless they were not big to start with. Other xianxias like Immortal Samsara was seriously not that good in my book BUT it's hard to ignore the fact it had A LOT of haters because of Yang Zi popularity. The Starry Love did not have popular traffic actors so I actually felt like relatively, their rating is inflated because they DON'T have haters since other dramas like Immortal Samsara, Love Between Fairy and Devil all and now TTOETM all have a significant amount of hate ratings.

  • 6/10 says it all how most of the viewers feel about the drama. The rating is even higher than I'd rate it. This drama has been overhyped and aggressively promoted all over Weibo by the production team. I had high hopes before watching the drama because I did think both main leads were decent actors. But the plot is really underwhelming and as some one pointed out in the comment section, predictable, which is also a common weakness of most of the C dramas I've watched for years. I'm more impressed by the fantastic CGI and the costumes than the scriptwriting and the directing, let alone ML's flimsy physique that doesn't really help at all.

    I've quit watching It's wasting my time.

    • He doesn't have to look muscular. But he doesn't have to look scarily scrawny either. I don't see any appeals in a ML with that sort of looks even his role is a victim of all kinds of abuses. I'm not criticizing his acting. I'm just being honestly blunt with the fact that how unhealthy his appearance appears. I can't root for a character like that.

    • I think you guys are body shaming and this is quite cruel. This is an actor who was maliciously beat up by a stunt worker in his previous drama so hard that he had to be hospitalized, had his mouth sewn with stitches and could only drink through a straw for about three weeks prior to shooting the drama. I shudder to think that his hard work and sacrifice to shoot this drama in spite of his poor health is being maligned by keyboard warriors hiding behind the anonymity of the internet. Do try to look it up on the internet for the full story.

    • Nobody believes the injury story as you tell it. Well, nobody apart from his stans.

      Luo Yunxi has been unhealthily thin for a few years now. It has nothing to do with this accident. Or do you mean to tell people he has had this injury for years?

      He has been getting progressively worse and it blew up when the rescue drama aired because his condition was terrible. His team even addressed it or tried with some nonsense of how he got better. He didn't. He is like this even today.

      There is no body shaming here. This man has a problem that they aren't addressing and that is dangerous. For his health, I hope somebody in his environment finally gets the guts for some tough love and finds him the help he needs.

      And, no, audiences being uncomfortable with a person with an ED on their screen is also not body shaming, especially in a toxic culture where super skinny is already promoted as a goal. It is called asking the right questions of why this is promoted. And he is being promoted as some really hot man by his team. Don't expect people to just accept this as promotion of health when he is obviously unhealthy.

    • @Shrug This drama is the only way to justify his unhealthy weight since Tantai Jin is described as extremely skinny. But in real life, it is worrying that Luo Yunxi continues like this.

    • Like it or not, he should look like that because the character is described as almost in BONES.

• There are good acting but not a good plot. This is a common occurrence in Chinese productions. One factor outweighs the other. Censorship and regulations are excuses because even when the elements that were limited are removed, the plot of the novel still has coherence, unlike the drama that only relies on misunderstandings between the protagonists.

• that man really is the living image of tantai jin but i won't continue watching because i didn't like the changes they made in the characters' behavior just to make them likeable to the audience when there was supposed to be character development. those changes ruined the plot.

  • Even if Tantai Jin remained rotten like in the novel, the audience would find a way to excuse his behavior. Men are put on a pedestal even when they are fictional.

• I'm getting more and more disappointed in this drama with each episode, will be dropping it.

• The actor doesn't have an intimidating appearance but his acting makes him a great screen presence.

• the logic should be in the drama. it bothers me to have to resort to the novel to understand the reason for certain actions of the characters. i feel like i am playing an interactive game.

• I only like that it was decided to have the actor wear Tantai Jain's gaunt and worrisome look. Likewise it would have been nice if they had kept his personality traits. I doubt it was to avoid criticism because the actor's appearance unleashed a lot of it, so why change the character's demeanor?

• Good leads' acting, so-so script.
