Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

I am no fan of Korean TV series but I took an exception in watching since the plot was very complicated taking a step back in time. It took me awhile to feel comfortable watching since it took a lot of effort in reading subtitles while internalizing the dialogue. But right after Episode 2, I was totally hooked. I couldn't stop with just 1 episode a night and had the craving to just watch all 20 episodes in 2 nights!! Scarlet Heart Ryeo has just begun airing in the Philippines but I have access to the original version with English subtitle, which I prefer. It was giving me a headache listening to the Tagalog translation. Besides, it was more heart-wrenching hearing their original voices. So, as a fan of the Scarlet Heart Ryeo series, I hope that a Scarlet Heart Ryeo 2 is up for an international showing SOON. It may not have been a hit in South Korea but I hope that the producers seek the comments from the international audience for an unbiased feedback.

I heard so many good feedback about this drama and finally I decided to give it a try. What to say? This drama blows my mind.

The plot is very interesting with so many different characters. Each of these personalities is very important for the whole plot and you never get bored.

The costumes are beautiful, great cinematography. And the music / OST (original soundtrack) is virtuous. I think it is the most beautiful drama music I ever heard. It touches your soul, and you can listen to forever.

Very good choice for the cast. All actors are great. IU (as Hae Soo) and Lee Joon Gi (as 4th Prince) have amazing chemistry.

It is very romantic drama, full of emotions and tears. The 15th episode is very sad. So, the last one, too. You need tissues because you will cry your eyes out.

Most beautiful historical drama I ever watched. I have big interest for history and the drama made me research and read historical books about the Goryeo era.

The drama is unforgettable masterpiece. , 10/10 for it.

This drama absolutely Broke me. I feel Like I will NEVER recover from this show. I Loved it, I Hated it, It Hurt, It completely Broke me But the Love was EVERYTHING. I binge watched this entire show of 20eps in one go. It left me a crying sobbing mess. I cried an ocean of tears. Let me say I went into this Drama knowing absolutely nothing . I wish I would have known beforehand that it wasn't an HEA (by MY Standards), Because then maybe I could have better prepared my heart for all this damage. ( My Drama BFF recommended it to me and ohhhhhh man I should charge her for emotional damage lol) I give it a 9/10 That cliffhanger ending just wasn't fair, I definitely needed more. This ending absolutely destroyed me and I will never be over it or forgive them for doing us this dirty. This Drama pulled so many emotions from me. And for a show to really have such a huge impact on your emotions, to bring out all these feelings an have you so immersed, it's a 10. The Love was pure and unconditional, The relationships were unlike anything I've ever come across. (these bonds were just so special) you really feel the friendship and the love that each of the princes had with HaeSoo, it was very remarkable. The Drama... The Drama was overwhelming and unmatched! The anguish left me broken beyond repair. Y'all this seriously broke me! I was not okay for days. Initially it was a show that gave me a "I can't say that I hated it but I can't say that I loved it" because it seriously put me through a $hit show of emotions. I had the biggest hangover/hangarround from this show, I couldn't get into anything for a bit. It was unforgettable, this show and these characters are just so memorable, and their love will leave a lasting impression on your heart. It's definitely a MUST watch. I highly recommend it. It's a top drama for me with a HUGE Emotional damage warning.

I can't even write a review because the body is too tired and can't move on So the only thing I want to tell is not watch is if don't have a strong heart or you will cry in every last 6 episodes OST will hunt you though they finish throughout your life

...because this k-drama sure will make you cry - A LOT.

The story is partly fiction, partly historical facts. The cast was amazingly chosen and the characters are awesome. This show contains everything from the little cutie to the wise to the misunderstood and the purely evil.

I'm not sure how I feel about the ending plus a few aspects that led to it didn't make a lot of sense in my opinion.

However, I was literally addicted to this show from the beginning until the very end.

I highly recommend this show!
