My rant after watching the ending..

This show had everything to be EPIC! They did a GREATJOB in casting..All the actors fitted the characters they were portraying.Excellent cinematography, and the OST is PERFECT !
The story was promising in the start but they dragged the throne game until Ep.17 and left a little room for side stories to develop, I can't seem to understand the central focal point of the show, was it about romance or the "Throne game"?

Actually loved HS's transformation from chirpy little girl to caring mother , she left the palace and the man she loves for the sake of well being of her daughter..*sobs*

All bow to LJG , serioulsy if anything in this show which was consistent from ep.1, it was LJG's acting, he gave life to Wang So and GJ , he did COMPLETE JUSTICE to his characterization i can never imagine anyone else portraying WS except him, He was born to portray this complex character..

I was actually surprised to see such an amazing chemistry he had with IU, never thought that these two would pair up and create such an amazing pair!!!

SoSoo love story was intriguing and lovable but 10 episodes of slow development and then sudden rush of confession and separation was choke worthy!


The bigger blow came when WS became the king, she started to feel that she is being trapped in the palace politics and she is losing her sanity as well as the man she loves..

I can completely understand her reason for leaving the palace but I don't understand why the writer was so adamant to stick to the original BBJX to insert that "Letter play", I wanted the writer to change the scene and wanted WS to read the letter before her death and see her one last time .. *again sobs*



I feel the WookSoo romance was given more importance , seriously F***ing 10 episodes?! From 11th episode started WS and HS's epic love which was continuously disturbed by separation and misunderstandings..

I felt Eun's one side love on HS completely unnecessary, I felt it didn't serve any purpose at all.
They could have focused on Jung/HS ..because Ji Soo/Jung as caring and selfless husband was a surprise package in ep.20.

HS's death scene was heart breaking, when the singer said that "This song made the king to fall in love with a court lady" with flashback into WS listening to HS's song reminded all those happy moments between them!! 😭

At last came the ending? I was like W*F??!!! was it not enough to torture the viewers with their uneven and rushed story now serve them with an open ending or should I call W*F ending?

I knew that we were not going to get a HEA in Goryeo, but I really wished GHJ to meet modern WS instead of Ji Mong, whose role made no sense after ep.16..

The piggy back scene with Beakhyun's OST made me cry buckets 🥺..especially HS's dialogue


"If we had met in other time, I would have loved with all my heart's content without worrying about anything.."😭
what was the use of the dialogue if they are not going to meet at the end?


WS never came to know about the truth that HS was from future, she "Knew" how history was going to unfold , she knew how WS will be painted in history, She did every possible thing to make him a Wise and noble king..WS never came to know all this...

I am directing all my HATE AND FRUSTRATION to SBS for cutting THE MOST IMPORTANT SCENE which I was waiting for since the beginning , Yes! GHJ and modern WS meeting!!!! 😭

I would have been satisfied with just a meeting, because i know they will fall in love again in modern era..but it would have been logical and satisfying to end..ARGHH!!!

But still I don't regret watching Moon Lovers...Because this show evoked a strong and addictive side in me which was missing for a long time..
This show is giving all the BOF and YRB feels *sobs*

*Quoting HS's dialogue when she left the palace*

"If I had not met him, I would not yearn for him. If I did not know him, I would not think of him so much. If we had not been together, I would not have to disappear. If I did not treasure him so much, I would not have so many memories. If I did not love him, we would not need to throw each other away. If we had not crossed paths, we would never have been together. Perhaps, if I had not met you at all..."


My MLSHR withdrawal symptoms has started..my Mon-Tue won't be the same anymore...😭

Though I am not hoping for Season 2 considering the domestic rating, I will still hope that they release the CUT scene where modern WS meets GHJ..

Yes LJG gave hope, let's see..

Thank you..glad to know that, if I have a chance to watch or not watch this show once again, i will happily choose to see it again because this show gave so many feels while watching it..This show became crazily addictive and i still remember myself patiently wait for eng subs and watch it till 3-4 a.m and download all the videos..LOL i became so damn addicted to this show because this show had everything a viewer anticipate from a show!! Sigh everything went downhill later..

Exactly, Eun/HS angle could have been like friends, it didn't serve any purpose other than eating the screenspace..!!

Whereas Jung truly loved HS (ok not as much as WS- sorry i am biased to my WS) he married her even though knowing she can't give anything in return because she was in love with WS, he was really caring and selfless , atlast should I be happy that Jung got a part of HS i.e her daughter or sad about the fact that WS can't be with his daughter? He deserves this much atleast..but i know Yeon Hwa would have killed that little girl ..


I really feel empty now!!

I'm still sceptical on whether I should pick up this drama as I'm more into romcoms and there were too good ones running alongside this drama, like Drinking Solo, Shopping King Louie and Jealousy Incarnate... so I opted this out of my list and now all these dramas will end by the next week, I don't want to cry a well, can I watch this one!! I heard this has lot of tears in each episode.

I am actually in a dilemma whether to recommend or not!
If ur genre is like rom-com/happy ending then please Don't, You will end up with a heartbreak!

BUT BUT BUT..On the other hand, if just watch it as a show w/o putting ur heart into it!! I can guaranty you it is one hell of a ride and the story is amazingly ADDICTIVE and the lead pair's chemistry is
"off the charts" with beautiful cinematography and wonderful OST!!
You will end up falling for Lee Joon Gi more, i assure you..! ❤️

If you didn't watch it you will definitely miss something for sure!! Give it a try and don't watch it religiously ...and its upto u to watch it or not! 😳

NOTE: There are actually two versions of it , SBS version and international ver..many imp scenes won't be there in international version ..
so watch the SBS ver on sites like Gooddrama.com,Myasiantv, kissasian.com etc..

I think the two episodes will be either BTS or commentary, don't get ur hopes high- thats the only thing which i learnt from this drama..

ok, tq for the link though..But the realist in me is telling that there won't be a sequel considering the domestic ratings..but i will be happy if there is a sequel though with same cast!!

I am so glad I was always on YeonHwa's side...or I can say I favoured her more...for most part of the show...and I think that's what kept me going with this show...and Of course LJK...man he was THE one who deserves any credit for this show...seriously without him the show could be worse... (that thought scares me..it was bad enough already)...and HaeSoo what can I say...just so damn frustrating..!!! Never hated a female lead this much...by the 17th or 18th episode I was just wishing for her death...Because the whole show is based on her view..it is very important that her character was written in a better way...anyways what's done is done.happy for LJK though...he got the fame he deserves despite the bad ratings...hope he can come back with a great show soon...
