Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

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.

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!

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.

Lee Joon Gi delivered his role of unwanted, abused, desperate-for- love Prince very well, and IU was very natural in her expressions. Their friendship and romance were slow in developing, but blossomed beautifully when they did, leaving viewers aching for more.

They say a story is only as good its villain. Scarlet Heart has no shortage of villains, all the actors and actresses playing their roles magnificently 'til the end.

Warning: This drama is not for the weak-minded and fainthearted.

Overall: Good acting, good story, good soundtrack, good chemistry between the leads, good fight sequences, good cinematography, based on historical events (but filmed with liberty).

I was hooked from start to finish, left with just one wish... that the director and staff have mercy and finally grace us with those precious deleted scenes!

I felt the warmth of love, relations, bondings, funny moments, lots of emotions, climaxes and many heart breaking betrayal. This is by far the best historical drama for me. Omg I cried so many times. Watching this drama is an eye punishment for us..
