When viewers gossip about a bad script

This drama should be a case study of how bad writing destroys an entire program, which even big stars and a huge budget cannot save.

I haven't seen such a bad script in a long time, I can't believe that it could have been written by a real person, and not Al. The script flew into space and stayed there.

Lack of logic, sense, absurdities, which increased with each episode, insulting the intelligence of the viewer (at least mine) drama, which supposedly deals with scientific topics, but has as much to do with science as our politicians have to do with politics. If any astronaut watched it, they would most likely have a stroke at the sight of this parody.

16 episodes, where in reality it could have been shortened to 10, because they had no idea for the plot. The lottery ticket plotline, which dragged on for the entire drama to the point of vomiting, just to fill time and give the secondary characters something to play...
Of all the characters, I think that in this mediocre script, the best written roles were played by LMH and Oh Jung Se, the only ones who were not indifferent to me and I cared about their fates and feelings. The plus is that I could see them in a different version than the one I was used to. It wasn't LMH's best role, but decent.

I am disappointed with FL's character, her character wasn't given the attention she deserved, I didn't really know anything about her until halfway through the drama.

Some kind of rehabilitation occurred in the last episodes in the case of her family history, but honestly it didn't move me, again I have the impression that they added this plotline just to stuff the story with something.
The romance itself was so-so. They skipped the stage where they gradually fall in love and went straight to the point where he already loves her, they slept together, then she didn't want him, but later they did, they went on a few dates, then broke up, got pregnant because they got back together and in the end it was one big FAILURE. Is this supposed to be a romantic comedy??

If I remember anything positive from this drama, it's the OSTs, and the space scenography put in some effort in at least these two areas. I wish I never had to watch anything written by this scriptwriter again.

And for you, LMH, read the next script from cover to cover.
