TV SHOW REVIEW

Ű BY YASMIN ZULRAEZ

C HINESE fantasy drama Till the End of the Moon is not merely a series, it is an expedition. Starring Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu, this lavishly-crafted drama invites viewers to go on a breathtaking journey that traverses four distinct “worlds”. Each world carries its own beauty, dangers and heartbreaks, offering audiences an immersive escape into a realm where love defies the boundaries of time and space. At its core, the series is a story of fated lovers destined to collide, part and reunite across lifetimes. It thrives on grandiose themes, grief, vengeance, justice and most importantly, love, that sweeps through every episode like a turbulent yet intoxicating storm. While some dramas dabble in romance or fantasy, Till the End of the Moon fully commits to both, transforming them into a sprawling tapestry of emotional depth and cinematic grandeur. Love story worth travelling for What makes this series truly unforgettable is its treatment of romance as a journey rather than a destination. The relationship between Tantai Jin (Luo) and Li Susu (Bai) unfolds like an epic pilgrimage through worlds unknown. From mortal conflicts to celestial entanglements, their story demands patience as they stumble through misunderstandings, lack of trust and often maddeningly poor communication. Yet, herein lies its charm: love is rarely perfect. As viewers watch these two souls orbit one another across different identities and realms, they witness something much deeper than fleeting attraction. It is a bond that grows and survives through sacrifice, destiny and lifetimes of longing. Despite the hurdles and heartache, the series assures audiences that this journey is worth every moment of frustration and every tear shed along the way. Escapism at its most beautiful Visually, Till the End of the Moon delivers a feast of escapism. Sweeping landscapes, ethereal costumes and intricate set designs create a world that feels larger than life. Each realm is rendered with such elegance that it feels as though viewers are boarding a celestial vessel, sailing through fantasy kingdoms suspended between heaven and earth. The series transports its audience into it. It is for those who crave an escape from reality, who wish to lose themselves in a saga where ancient

hope. Hope that love can rewrite fate. Hope that redemption exists even for those born under dark stars. Hope that, despite insurmountable odds, two souls can find their way back to each other time and again. It is this dance between heartbreak and hope that makes the series a truly cathartic experience. Perfect drama for emotional travellers Till the End of the Moon is a rare gem that demands to be experienced like a journey. It is not a straightforward path but a winding trail filled with twists, steep climbs and breathtaking views that reward the persistent traveller. The pacing can feel slow at times, tensions can become repetitive and watching two destined lovers struggle to communicate can test one’s patience. Yet, this imperfection is precisely what makes the series authentic. Just as real-life journeys challenge travellers, this story challenges its audience. It asks them to believe in destiny, endure sorrow and savour fleeting moments of happiness. It invites them to pack emotional luggage and set sail through love’s four different worlds, an expedition no true romantic should miss. experiencing Till the End of the Moon is a spiritual odyssey.
