The Night of the Comet Episode 1

just what is this mess

I have to be honest with you, I don't exactly know what I expected but it was definitely not this. My review will go about the stuff that happened in chronical order rather than the way I would do a review for a serie I finished watching, where I talk about certain things in general. Let's go.One scene in and I'm already not a fan of the acting. Next to that, the editing is low quality (which would be understandable if it's because of the lack of funds, but still) and the camerawork is so messy. The award show scene was probably added to create a reason for CH to be in the car and to show how popular CH is supposed to be but the camera work was messier than MNET's and tbh I found the whole scene all over the place. The woman that appeared too, she didn't really get an introduction, not even a short one, so I thought she was possibly a friend, a manager or an organizer but she disappeared as soon as she appeared so I guess she was nothing?? And then to our o-so-scary car crash scene. How does he end up wounded behind the well when he has a driver?? Also, they show he has head wounds, but strangely not on the places where his head is resting on the wheel? And it's only when they started talking about the comets that I realized that the first scene was his dream about the future and not just a flashback he had. The first part was so confusing for me.Now we are in, surprise surprise, the hospital. They're making it look like it's all serious but he wakes up as if he is feeling nothing and second of all the first thing he asks after is the other woman in the car??? He literally saw her for one second, and while it's understandable to worry about other victims, I don't think it would be the first thing you would ask. It made me think she would be the female lead or something. Also the doctor made a very very weak attempt at stopping him but they just watched when he was standing there. Our poor main lead gets a headache, one that needs to be exaggerated a lot yet suddenly disappears when he watches a patient taken past him? One that is not relevant to him at all? ? I do have to admit that him becoming an idol again is a pretty good choice but what's with the huge 2 year time skip? ? Like understandable that he gets his life back together, although in a whole different universe but wouldn't it be way more logical to try to find out the reason he is there and in the past right after the accident rather than 2 years later?? ML is also not as smart as I hoped him to be. He sees someone that looks like him and he thinks he can go after him through a whole group of fans?? Also: even more bad acting. What the hell was that fall?? The FL looks cute but she is definitely not a smart one, which is confirmed another time after the scene in which she and her boss follow our ML. Talking about it, why would you suddenly speed when there is a black car driving behind you?? Like I understand you're an idol and that you avoid paparazzi but wouldn't speeding that much cause another scandal? I still can't understand why our FL thought it was a good idea to push a few times on his chest because he lost consciousness, and afterward thought CPR was needed.I do have to admit that the rules he has with his fans are cute, but that's probably the only thing I liked about it and we are almost done with the first episode.The last few minutes are filled with a flashback (yes, already), a scene in which he tries to figure it out (they make it look as if he is some detective or something smart like that) and he gets creepy messages telling him that he wont survive (anyone getting W - two worlds vibes?).I do have one thing I really like about the series: the ending song does sound really good.But that's it.
