30 Day Asian Drama Challenge: Day 24: Drama With The Best Ending In Your Opinion?
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016)
Directed By: Kim Kyu-tae
Warning: Spoilers!
I realized that I haven’t completed this challenge and it has been about two months since the last one. So I’m going to finish this before I start anything new, sorry about that.
This is a tough one because there are plenty of dramas that have good endings but for entirely different reasons. For this post, I’m going to pick Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.
Go Ha-jin travels back in time (Lee ji-eun) to the Goryeo Dynasty. She wakes up as Hae Soo and befriends the royal princes of the Wang family. She falls in love with the kind and sweet 8th Prince Wang Wook (Kang Ha-neul), and then Wang So (Lee Joon-gi), the lone wolf 4th prince. Hae Soo gets caught up in a battle for the throne among the princes.
Now let’s talk about the ending in general terms, and I’m going to spoil it for everyone. There was no loophole that allowed the main characters to stay together despite it being true love. In fact, external factors forced them to separate which realistically shows how love can’t withstand everything.

I loved this drama! The ending was pretty sad and I really hoped there would be season 2 but it was confirmed there isn’t going to be any s2 😦

Yeah, I’m sad about that but I kind of understand why.

Hmmm… Considering how it ended, funny how you chose this one. Based on how this initially starts I didn’t imagine the person she falls in love with and she would stay together but again, still funny…

Yeah, but it’s pretty realistic that she has to go back to her own time.

It is, but you didn’t strike me as the “realistic” kind of person.
