Moon in the Day

A touching tragedy about star cross'd lovers basically, featuring reincarnation, past lives and revenge.

The good: Actors have great chemistry, the pacing and story are done well. The historical past lives stuff was the highlight of most episodes; costumes, story and emotions there are so engaging. The story overall is a tragedy but has enough light moments to keep it from feeling overwhelmingly depressing, and the plot is satisfying.

The not so good: I think the emotional connection between the lead characters could have come a little quicker and gone a little deeper. I enjoyed watching the show overall, but wasn't left feeling that "wow, that was so good" feeling.

If only I could give more than 10 stars! I've cried a bucket load of tears in the last two episodes, and I do agree that the ending was a reasonable one, but the fan of romance in me yearns for a happy ending and a sweet romance to leave us viewers with. I wish there is a sequel and we can see more of the leads in their new life. I loved the ML in shooting stars, and loved him here as well, he was my reason of adding this show to my watchlist. But the FL was a pleasant surprise, I hadn't seen her before and she performed beautifully, both in her role in the present and historic era. The chemistry of the leads was intense, very convincing and very sweet. I've binge watched this show in two days and I will keep thinking of the story and the characters for weeks to come, I seriously want more of these guys! Something like Forever and Ever after One and Only...

A daring production. The cinematography is not extraordinary, but the story and acting are excellent. Basically a drama about Kdrama and the falsity of the image of idols. Once again, the hypocrisy of the Korean public is brought to the screen, a large part of the script being about how celebrities manage to give the pack the image they want. Special attention to details, including the endorsement of soju brands, sweets, vehicles, locations. No cosmetics this time.

The inevitable drink until you drop, which stimulates alcohol sales, then those of hangover cures😂, the media's profit from the scandal at the expense of celebrities, manipulation, etc.

Not even a poltergeist and a firefighter escape from them. The story, quite well written... until episode 12. When it makes the characters, smart and agile, become like in silly movies, many frames with blank stares, the acting becomes theatrical, Until then, it would have been 10 *.

This one was so frustrating in so many ways but so satisfying in others.

This drama has an amazing story and it has many moments where you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen.

It has just a beautiful script and the narrative and romance are so meaningful, mesmerizing, deep and yet heartbreaking.

The characters are extremely complex, specially in their past life, and due to their tragic fate, they are left wounded but irreversibly tied forever in a twisted love story.

Everything is told in two different timelines and it continues to play us flashbacks from the past so we can understand what happened to them in their past lives. The problem comes when almost in every episode they replay and repeat same scenes over and over again, to the point that gets extremely boring and dragging.

There's way too many filler scenes, characters and conversations that are just absolutely redundant.

I wish this drama would have been made by someone different, it would have been completely different, it actually had the potential of being a masterpiece.

Overall still an okay watch, I enjoyed it and I actually thought the ending was perfectly fitting.

The intensity of these characters is off the charts! I watch a lot of kdramas, but I don't typically expect such intense performances. Both Kim Young Dae and Pyo Ye Jin are knocking it out of the park!

Not only wonderful characters and top-notch acting, but the plot is fresh as well. Reincarnated, devoted, but star-crossed enemies to lovers is kind of a new take on the typical kdrama enemies to lovers trope.

The supporting characters are outstanding as well: the loyal older brother to Han Joon Oh; the loyal assistant to Han Joon Oh; the loyal friend to Kang Young Hwa; the evil, conceited ex-girlfriend of Han Joon Oh; the jealous rival actor of Han Joon Oh. These supporting characters seem to be ALL IN as well!

Thoroughly enjoying this one and anxiously awaiting every episode!
