Reflections on Moon Lovers – Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (No spoilers) (lemmy.ml)

No spoilers besides what most people already know about the show - it's sad..

I made a post 2 weeks ago while I was half-way through watching Moon Lovers saying it hurt so much, and yup it still does.

My only regret is I binge watched it, and I wish I hadn't. By not binge-watching, you get to endure the pain and feelings for a longer period of time, and really appreciate the drama more.

Overall, the plot was great, the emotions were pulled very hard, but the writing fell quite short. You could really tell they were planning out the show as they filmed it, and quite a few things felt choppy. If it weren't for the somewhat awkward flow, I would say Scarlet Heart: Ryeo would be my #1 drama ever watched.

The visuals were another thing that was lacking, but I've never seen a drama excel in that area, so as long as you're not expecting Hollywood level scenery you'll be fine.

Based on a comment by @laconicsoftware, I think I'm going to try Mr. Sunshine after a full recovery. Apparently it's sad too, so it might take a while to get started.

Really hope you let me know what you think of it whenever you get a chance!

My girlfriend convinced me to watch Hotel Del Luna, which was not nearly sad enough. For some reason I thought you had recommended it too, so I came back to yell at you, but instead it looks like I will be taking your suggestion harder. See you in another 2 months!

Glad to know I was the cause of your not-misery!
