Moon in the Day

This drama started strong, with an interesting premise, and solid performances from the lead actors. In another life, a young couple is torn apart by tragedy and 1500 years later, many lives before, they reunite in the presente time to find answers in order to have closure. The initial mystery reminded a lot of Goblin's Sunny and Grim Reaper, so I was excited to see this type of story unfold.

Sadly, I don't know what happened behind the scenes of this production because the script it's a hot mess. Each week it was like a new type of narrative being told, too many voices not being able to properly tell the main story. The drama doesn't seem to take advantage of its strong points nor develops properly the main conflict, and it stretches the mystery of the past live way too long. I even dare say they wasted the good chemistry between the lead actors. The dialogue it's unnatural, full of badly built riddles.

The music selected feels generic, it doesn't complement the characters well nor the situations and overall story.

Truly a wasted opportunity to make a really good story.

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!

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.

<3 Young-Dae Kim <3

Wow his eyes are captivating. His voice transcends your soul to be held in his breath as he sets you ever soul right into his heart. He's absolutely hilarious when he needs to be and as cool as only he can be. He's definitely La Crème de la Crème of my Favorite actors.

Pyo Ye-jin- Is one of the finer Actors in her time. In this show, she slowly evolves from a tough firefighter to a beautiful loving soul, I love how she can look so plain and yet emit such natural beauty.

Wonderful talent throughout. I was a little confused as to where it was all going at first, but I was able to catch up pretty quickly. So happy to see something a little different.

Extremely happy to see Young-Dae Kim Flex his acting chops. A wonderful Talent!!!

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.
