A story that you will never forget
I discovered asian dramas this year. I saw some not romantic ones before but just in passing, between other shows. But this year i found "Alchemy of Souls" and got on Asian dramas basically full time. "Alchemy of souls" got to me so much and no other left such a great impact since (I enjoyed others of course a lot but not to this level).
And then i watched "Till the end of the moon" and i got that feeling back. What a beautiful, wonderful, amazing and heartbreaking story. It made me feel everything in just 40 episodes that pass by like 10 minutes. I love everything about it.
I talked a lot in the comments because i can't help myself when i love something this much. Here is the links to those comments so as not to repeat myself:

So final throughts on this fantastic tale: The end, for me, is sad. I know it have that hopeful component that maybe they will meet again but all the scene where SuSu have to kill him is heartbreaking. Even when is sad, i feel the end fits their characters perfectly:
-Tantai Jin was driven by his love the moment he was aware of it and confess it to Ye XiWu on his family's burial place. Since that moment all his actions are because of that love. At first it is mixed with jelaousy and other not so good feelings like that possesive side when she died. But i think he learn to get rid of those bad feelings during his time as Cang Juimin and what is left is love. Mostly for SuSu but also for humanity (Which i don't think is easy for someone that was mistreated all his life). So his actions at the end are the ultimate act of love: Self-sacrifice for the wellbeing of the rest of the world and the love of his life, Li SuSu.
-Li SuSu reminds me a lot of my all time hero, Buffy the vampire slayer. Both of them are the chosen ones and both of them have to be the strong ones and make the hard decisions. I have to say that i had a hard time at moments to understand her actions. She was clearly in love but she was also aware that Tantai could end all life if his destiny end up being fulfilled. She never forgot that. She couldn't. When she said in the last episode that she made a wish that time at the Ye house that he didn't become the Devil Lord is proof of how much she love him and how much she must really suffered. She is soo strong that her becoming a god it was just something that had to happen. She never for a moment believe that Cang Juimin was really the Devil Lord no matter what he do and still, besides all the love, besides being completely heartbroken, she did what she had to do. Because she is the chosen one for a reason.
I can't really explain how much i cry watching that scene where SuSu is about to tell him she loves him (She never did it out loud when she actually mean it) and she can't. So she just said: "I will tell you when i see you again" 💔💔💔. Not to mention the scene at the tombs of both of them and what is written "Tomb of Ye XiWu loving wife of Tantai Jin" "Tomb of Tantai Jin husband of Ye XiWu" ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
So in episode 39 Tantai ask: "Will our story be know by posterity?"
Yes, their story will be with me forever ♥♥♥.
