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.

When I'm done watching the other korean dramas, I'm in a doubt if I should watch this one. But after I watched this, it hooked me. It's already months ago when this drama ended but I'm here, still searching updates about them and wanting to watch it again. I also watched this on a live stream and I don't understand anything what they're saying but based on their emotions, I feel that I know what's really going on. I'm even more emotional when I watched them like that.

The acting is super b! I'm very impressed to all the actors especially Lee Joon Gi, who I know is very perfect on every korean historical dramas and Kang Ha Neul, who gave me goosebumps with his acting. Also, the other actors did a great job.

The stage production and costumes will make you thought if this is a TV or a film production. 10/10 for me!

When I'm currently watching this, I'm kinda disappointed to myself because I think back then, "Why I am only watching this now? I should watched this before anything else"

That really make me regret back then lol

If you'll be watching this, brace yourself with a lot of emotions. You may find this a cute love story with a love triangle going on, but when the story goes on, a tragic moments happening and you may curse a lot of people when the Princes begins to battle for the throne. You'll find whose greedy and not. What they priorities most. Love or Power? Family or Love?

I hope you'll enjoy watching this bcoz I never forget this one and it will be remembered as one of the best. On all dramas I watched, they were on my top 3 list.

The ending may not as you expected as similar as the original series "Scarlet Heart" from China. But it's a good ending I think it's better that way that they didn't copy the exact ending happened on the original series.

BTW, Lee Joon Gi mentioned that it's impossible to have a season 2, who knows. Maybe a miracle happened.

...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!

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

Moon Lovers was my first Korean Drama, and i got addicted! It is simply SUPERB!!! The actors have a great chemistry together,and i will like to find out other movies or settings they had made before Moon Lovers! The landscapes and locations are fantastic,the battle scenes were like watching a well made action movie with great battle choreography. I was surprised from the costumes and fashion of the era that were Amazing,and most of all the plot is breathtaking! I can't hide that I cried many times over the 20 episodes i saw in just 5 days time! I recommend it to everyone,and i hope that there will be a second season!!! Please!
