Till the End of the Moon Heads into Final Episodes with Douban Ratings Dropped to 5.6 Between Strongly Held Conflicting Reviews

View Comments

• The show is not good. I don’t know if 5.5 bad, but it’s less than mid. I think a lot of the negative feeling toward this drama are people taking their anger on YOUKU. The insane marketing for a below average story show while they spent barely $1 on better shows and stories.

  This show will end soon and it will out of its misery soon enough. Lol

  • Actually if viewers just watch this drama with just a normal views it is not a bad like others bad comments. For me it still can say a great drama to watch. Of course we all got a great gadget nowadays but please if you want to enjoy to watch any kind of drama perhaps just step aside of a worst thinking just because you have a great gadget to zoom any kind of weaknesses weather it is small or big. Everyone already working hard and cost much energy,times etch. Be positive thinking 👋🏻

  • It would be forgettable like many Xianxia dramas.

  • Anyone saying that Bai Lu isn't pretty enough certainly is a hater, not the average viewer. Also, saying g a thin/skinny person isn't attractive and must necessarily gain weight is as toxic as saying that an overweight/fat person looks awful and must lose weight. Personally, I am with you on that Koala, I think the plot is overall good, the male lead is exceptional even without being tall and muscled, but the execution of it all is as if someone let highscoolers produce and direct this show. Which would explain why the leads spit blood 4 times per episode. What a waste!
    By the way, nothing is wrong with le leads' chemistry, I found them sizzling up to the point where the high-schooler in charge of the script got coy and pure. Very much like in every C-drama, the lead-up is great, buy when the leads finally confess their feelings, they spent the next half of the show exchanging a couple of kisses that are even cooler that a kiss between 12 year olds.

  • 5.5 isn't that bad, but I guess it just didn't meet expectations. An idol-ish type drama earning an 8 is already rare, so 5.5 would be like above average and maybe even good..but not great. Still, I don't think it's that bad for this type of drama.

    Love between fairy and devil and the Untamed had only hit the high 7s, and I feel like those two dramas got talked a lot more and received a lot more love.

    Anyways, ratings aside, the drama raked in a lot of viewers and the actors got their screentime in front of millions of viewers. Traffic is important for popularity and advertising.

• I agree, his weight made sense when he was starved but he should have gained weight by the time he turned into a God. The whole drama is basically torture p**n is another point I agree with and I have no idea how the script got invested into production. The writer must really be into some BDSM because the plot is written around physical abuse scenes which are in every episode.
  It’s on par on Thai slap and kiss lankorns that i avoid

  • If you have read the book, it constantly described him as sickly looking. Because of his devil bones, he’s basically cursed, he always appear to be weak and sickly looking. So no, even as MY, he meant to look sickly. And even as CJM, he meant to look sickly, as described by the book >_> also there was no physical abuse every episode -.- stop spreading false information.

    This series suffers from episodes limitation, due to the 40eps limit, they have to cut a lot of stuffs, which make the story less coherent as the rule was new. I suggest ppl not be a sheep, try a few episodes yourself, like a pilot for western series, and decide it for yourself.

    • Thanks for the book explanation. However, at this point, he doesn't have the devil bone in him so he should have gained the weight back. I have been watching the drama every time it comes out with a new episode so clearly, your suggestion is not useful to me. If they were going to cut out stuff why are they keeping the physical abuse/torture part of the plot when it has long been established that he is cursed since he was just a prince?

      If a story becomes less coherent then you can't criticize the audience for not enjoying it. The production companies make millions of dollars to make it entertaining. It is hardly the first Xianxia drama to air with a plethora of limitation.

    • Does the title of the drama same as the title of the book???

    • The 40 episodes limit have been implemented since last year. That's why some drama just make it into 2 parts to surpass this 40 episodes limit. Like immortal samsara that have 80ep.

    • #💯 agree with everything you said!

    • @Selenophile: No. The original novel name and TV series name are not the same. The original novel name is "黑月光拿稳BE剧本".​

    • Totally agree with you. I think the producers can try to sell another version, like the snyder cut. Maybe for fans, maybe for people who really care about the serie.

• Despite its flaws I am utterly captivated by this drama. Luo Yun Xi’s performance is extraordinary. The chemistry with Bai Lu is palpable. Despite the unrelenting angst it is their love story that holds this drama together and makes it a stand out. You are either going to love it or hate it.

  • Same here! Honestly it proves how important chemistry is to making a good drama. LYX and BL are electrifying together, and those are the strongest parts of the drama.

    Also it's not their fault that they had to edit down to 40 eps. D;

  • I don't know why people are hating on the show. True that it has some flaws, but I think the casting, the plot, and the chemistry in this drama is just perfect. I do feel like the story was dragged on a little too much, but it's a drama I'm enjoying

    • Me too. I am a sucker for tragic love story. I am enjoying every bit of it execpt OST. Where is the OST? Why didn't it stuck with like LBFD.

  • these are my thoughts exactly, thank you for wording them so well

  • Idem...the actor and actress are incredible....and Luo is perfect
    And I disagree with the idea the author of article has of Xianxia
    I love Xianxia very much....and after Love between Fairy and Devil, a real masterpiece for me, i love them more and more

• I agree that I do find the male lead a bit thin. He’s probably even more skinny in real life. The one about Bai Lu not being pretty enough is absurd. She’s drop dead gorgeous. People are ok with Yang Zi playing the goddess in most of her dramas and then to pick on Bai Lu. I like Yang Zi but I’m not going to say she’s a stunning beauty. She’s very likable for sure and does her characters justice. Haters going to hate.

  • THIS! I love Yang Zi as an actress and I think she's pretty but Bai Lu is on another level of beauty! It's really just haters! Also BL and LYX do have chemistry so not really sure what other people are seeing.

  • Hmm I don't think Yang Zi is the right example for this. She gets bashed for her looks by c netizens constantly regardless if she has a airing drama or not. Even moreso than another other popular actress in her age group. When Immortal Samsara aired there was so much dissatisfaction about her looks not being up to par in comparison to Meng ZiYi. BaiLu getting the same kind critiques is just typical c netizen toxicity. We all know she's pretty and this will all pass when c netizens find a different target for the next idol drama.

    • Ah so they’re criticized the same. At the same time I’m also putting out yang mi, because she has hunchback netizen always says she always looks strange when her hair is tied up

• My first cdrama that will be unforgettable. I wish for a happy ending. Kudos to everyone

• Douban has long been a battlefield between fans and antis especially for a drama that gain a lot of attention early on like this. They didn't offer anything new in the story it's a rehash of many existing xianxia plot. But I do mind that they made such lavish costume only to end up making it look like a game. Costume and make up are too much in exaggeration. One of the reason too as koala has said, this is literally a one man show of lyx, he is a good actor but there's just so much one can do, drama need plot that engage characters with other characters, and they are lacking that here when they made it into a one man show. Clearly his plot of the story are not enough to attract viewers in. They should really centralize the romance bit where OTP are interacting or even appear in one scene together more. Because for me, their love story, the angst is not angsting.

• Honestly, when the show first started it was truly addicting. I loved the characters and backstory of each one, but there were a couple of annoyances I could not get through. I made it to episode 32 and just stopped watching altogether. I understand this is a Chinese drama, highlighting drama lol, but there should still be character development.

  The two main leads just kept making the same mistakes, almost to a point their relationship came off very toxic. I just didn’t understand why they were letting others manipulate them when they’ve already seen it happening in their past lives. Neither had good communication skills, and they weren’t honest to each other. The side couple(The Fox & the general) became more of a main couple than the main couple lbs. other than that, I enjoyed it.

• Agreed with most of the reviews but definitely not agree with Bai Lu visual comments. She is so beautiful. She looks stunning in everything. Luo Yunxi looks more thin and unhealthy next to her.

• I am in love with this drama. I think Luo Yunxi acting is amazing, I feel what he portrayed; love, hate, anger, happiness and sorrow. Costume is over the top and I love it.

  If you don't like the storyline, don't hate the actors. It's the screenwriters' doing. As for any show, viewers are entitled to their comments; good or bad. I hope the actors don't get too discouraged and are able continue to do what they love to do, act and bring entertainment to us all.

  As far as comments about his body, to me, his body is his choice. As long as he is healthy and mentally strong, who cares if he's too thick or thin.

  I enjoy seeing Luo Yunxi grow over several series and this is his best one yet. I am over the good guys who are evil. I am team 'little Devil God' Tantai Jin all the way. My favorite little Devil. Keep up the good work

• This drama is nuts! Nothing makes logical sense besides the ultra obsession of the male lead due to his trauma. The obsession is still faulty, but I can follow the reasoning at least. The female lead, however, is so back and forth between her mission and liking the dude, she never convinces me she cares about either. Bai Lu is a strong actor, so it was definitely the character. It honestly felt like it was hard for her to act like she hated the male lead because it didn’t make any sense for her to hate him in execution! Lol. Luo Yun Xi, though, oooOooowweeee!! He’s in a league of his own! Though the leads have chemistry, he’s definitely leading. I started forgetting his tiny frame when the shoulder pads got larger in his costumes and the hair longer in his wigs to match and balance the rather large size of his head with his smaller framed body. Lol. The big heads floating over tiny bodies always gets me asking, “Are you taking care of yourself?” I feel like Gong Jun is the same. Without these period costumes widening their shoulders and creating the illusion of build underneath the drapings, they’re as tiny as the female characters. I don’t think size is actually a problem, because many of the smaller actors are strong at actually acting, but I have to admit that size IS noticeable. Luo Yun Xi was fuller in the modern drama he did with Bai Lu, which made them look really compatible in that one, but in this one, she looks stronger than him. Lol. But his charisma is stronger than anything this drama has to offer, so props to Luo Yun Xi. Haha.
