'To the Moon' Lee Sun‑bin, Ra Mi‑ran and Jo Ah‑ram: where are their fates headed?
Recently airing on MBC, the Friday‑Saturday drama To the Moon (written by Na Yoon‑chae, directed by Oh Da‑young and Jung Hoon) is rushing toward its final stop. In fall 2025, as viewers prepare to say goodbye to To the Moon, which brought laughter, empathy and excitement to living rooms, they are already expressing regret.
One of the show's entertaining elements is its fresh premise, the "coin train." In the drama, the "ordinary ones" Jeong Da‑hae (Lee Sun‑bin), Kang Eun‑sang (Ra Mi‑ran) and Kim Ji‑song (Jo Ah‑ram) boarded the coin train — perhaps their last chance to change lives teetering on the edge — dreaming of a better tomorrow than today. Viewers who watched the reasons the three got on that train couldn't help but feel empathy and become immersed as they laughed and cried along with the ordinary ones following the roller‑coaster ups and downs of the coin graph.
In the 10th episode, the coin graph plunged and the ordinary ones' daily lives were shaken. When the graph fell once before, they had secretly taken side jobs and resolved to buy more, but this time the situation was different. Eun‑sang even sold her own coins to cover her two younger siblings' losses, and misunderstandings that accumulated during that process created deep rifts among the ordinary ones.
After the conflict their friendship was restored, but the coin train's fall showed no sign of stopping. The ordinary ones cried out, "God, will you really do this? Please come to our coin!" and soon refused food and clung to their phones. They sought to cut themselves off from the world with a temple stay, but even the monk's sermon and the 108 prostration practice couldn't make them let go of desire completely. Chasing a signal to check the coin graph, the ordinary ones even climbed onto a temple roof with fierce determination, bringing viewers laughter.
After a series of events, the ordinary ones drew one conclusion: together, they could endure even if the destination was ruin. Even if the ending is a sad one, they believed that if the three endured together, moments to laugh would surely come. Perhaps their wish was answered. At the end of the 10th episode, the three were shown cheering at news of the coin train's surge, raising expectations.
With only two episodes left before the finale, what fate awaits the ordinary ones? How will the three women face the reality approaching them and move forward? Viewers are closely watching what kind of ending the story of the ordinary ones, who ran together to the end, will meet. The ordinary ones' journey that calls for support will air Friday the 24th at 9:50 p.m. and Saturday the 25th at 9:40 p.m.
