It’s a happy ending. Being able to contribute to science and humankind’s progress is the dream of many people, especially astronauts who risk most of their career lives for this dream. Thus the fulfillment of that dream is happy indeed.

Hmm, why am I not seeing the other comments here? Seems like I was blocked. ‘Wonder why MDL allows such a feature that would let accounts back-bite other accounts, that is, let accounts say something that blocked accounts cannot respond to. That’s rather rude.

Google reviewers are more altruistic then. This won't appeal to those only interested in selfish interests.

It's a textbook example of the toxicity of kdrama world. This is a masterpiece wasted on an unworthy audience.

Good

Feminism is dismissing traditional thinking that women are only worth something if they have babies or die trying

A scientist knows that nothing is definite; anything is possible unless current data say otherwise. It was thought to be impossible to conceive in space yet she was able to. So, as a scientist, she would be hopeful that something would be done in the future to make it possible for Byeol to go back to earth. In fact, that's what Kang-su is working on. Regarding going back to earth pregnant, she had already established the near impossibility of the fetus surviving the trip. All the data available indicated the fetus would not survive. She was finally convinced to accept that the fetus would be aborted. In the end, she decided to take a chance that a living child would have a better chance of surviving than a fetus.

I don't really see the point in prolonging a discussion where the other party is deliberately being obtuse. The dictionary would naturally have the general meaning of hater. The specific meaning would of course depend on the context. As far as a hater of drama/actor is concerned, the meaning is too obvious to repeat. Anyway, just re-read what I previously wrote.

Regarding hateful comments, you seem to have passed over comments about this drama being "shit". In fact, 95% of the comments here are hateful to those who like it. When I don't like a drama, I just drop it quietly, with nary any noise in consideration of those who like it. Just the fact that you are writing something to destroy others' enjoyment of the drama is hateful enough. Some haters even keep coming back and keep harping about their hatred of it. Talk about dragging. It's really a mystery to me, if you hate a drama so much, why not just drop it? Why do you have to make your life miserable keeping on watching it and keeping on hating it? What kind of people do that?

Science is about making one step at a time. Trial and error is a fundamental process in scientific experiments. Eve accomplished two steps, conceive and give birth in space.

I merely pointed out the definition of haters, i.e. those who target certain dramas for persecution. I didn't use slurs or call them names, as many of them do when they insult actors and those who defend dramas. So, it's okay to attack dramas, actors and defenders but we can't even heave a sigh as what "What a miserable life that must be" is.

See my spoiler below. Anybody who is paying attention would realize this is not about personal interests but has altruistic goals. Which is why I love it.

One thing I like about this drama is how it was able to immerse the viewer in the life of astronauts. Every step they take, from takeoff to spacewalk to landing, presents unimaginable risk. The littlest amount of mistake made when they are out in space could mean being cast adrift in the cosmos forever. So, why do they do this? I don't believe it's mainly for fame and glory. I think astronauts are that very rare breed of humans who really have noble hearts and want to contribute to science and humanity. And Eve was able to accomplish this. All of us die anyway. To die so your child will live is noble enough. But to be willing to die for the advancement of humankind is even more worthwhile.

I guess those who live in countries that have high birth rates don't consider fertility issues a big deal. But there are races right now facing extinction because of low birth rates. So, a way to halt the extinction of certain races would be a big deal. And this is why I consider this ending a happy and triumphant one.

Wow, what an ending! I expected no less from this drama. I really feel sorry for haters who only see the worst of dramas they target for persecution and can't understand what a triumph the ending is. What a miserable life that must be. Please see more in the spoiler below.

Ethics as in performing an experiment that is not allowed. Feminism has no place in this drama. It was Eve's choice as an astronaut whose dream is to contribute something to science or humanity

Have haters really watched this drama? Did they bother to understand it? It's amazing how people can make a judgement on something they don't understand or try to understand at all. To dismiss this drama as ridiculous, to mock morulas as just cells is as heartbreaking as it is offensive. For some people, morulas are human lives, and seeing them being destroyed is tantamount to watching babies being butchered! Anybody who labels Ryong a jerk for his reaction to this barbarism did not understand this drama. Instead of mockery, the issue of ethics vs human life deserves serious discussions. And this drama deserves to be lauded for making us confront that dilemma.

This drama deals with grave issues about life, ethics and responsibility that are most relevant to what is currently happening in our world today. The way Eve and Chief Kang try to do the right thing about the legality of what Ryong did, no matter the consequences, made me at awe of South Koreans' respect for the law. In most parts of the world, rich people invariably get what they want. Not so here. No wonder South Korea was able to protect their country from a malevolent power grab recently. Would that other countries also try to do the right thing according to existing laws. Our world is currently facing a severe moral crisis right now and this drama reminds us of the importance of thinking beyond ourselves, thinking of the good of the organizations we represent, and most of all, of accepting responsibility and facing accountability for mistakes.

Looking forward to the ending. Can’t wait to detoxify myself again from toxic kdrama world. This drama is worth it though. Such a unique storyline deserves more adventurous, fair and open-minded viewers.

I'm just repeating articles I've read. Actually, I've been away from kdramas for a while, trying to detoxify myself from the toxicity I've experienced in the industry last time I was here. So, the only thing I can add to what I've mentioned above is that many kdrama viewers don't even try to understand novel dramas. They immediately attack a drama that stars a perceived competitor of their favorite. Thus, dramas with unusual concepts that would have flourished if given a chance are immediately shot down. Novelty requires time to be processed. This drama has an unusual story, setting and characters. There are viewers who appreciate it. I, myself, love it, so it's not nearly as bad as painted out by those who are attacking it.

I now totally ignore drama scores when checking out dramas after trying to watch highly-rated dramas that turned out to just have the same boring storylines I've watched before, and conversely, after watching low-rated dramas that turned out to be gems.

I didn't say everyone who hates this drama are LMH haters. I'm saying LMH haters are slamming this. You can tell LMH haters from their comments and watchlist.

MDL is crawling with LMH haters. I've found this out from his previous dramas.
