Over The Moon ending explained

The story of Over the Moon revolves around the famous Chinese myth about a magic potion and Chang’e and Houyi’s love story. The plot of this film revolves around the story of a little girl named Fei Fei, who would go to any extent to make people believe in the story of Chang’e, who is stuck on the moon, waiting for her one true love, Houyi. She decides to create a spaceship of her own and meet Chang’e so that she completes her love story.

At the end of Netflix’s Over the Moon, Fei Fei finds the other half of the amulet and gives it to Chang’e so that she can reunite with Houyi. However, their meet only lasts for a few seconds where Houyi asks Chang’e to move on with her life. Chang’e is unable to take the grief and goes into a dark space. Fei Fei decides to follow her and convince her to come out with her but Chang’e cannot step out of the darkness. Fei Fei eventually figures out that Chang’e does not have to be lonely on the moon as there are various luminous creatures there to accompany her.

The audience is also told that the real gift, all along, was not the broken amulet but Fei Fei herself, who brought light into the lonely and dark moon. After a short leap, Fei Fei is shown in a better place on Earth while celebrating the Moon festival again. Her father has remarried and she has a pet dog who keeps her happy at all times. The ultimate message of Over the Moon is about moving on in life as there is always some positive aspect to look forward to.
