Trauma inducing

First few episodes actually fascinated me, bringing associations with Tarantino’s movies but sci-if and killing moroulras instead of humans. The potential was 10/10 and I was wondering where the bad reviews come from. Yes, the leads chemistry was below zero and the team had a member who doesn’t speak Korean, yet all conversations and orders was given in that language but, hey! it’s zero gravity rom-com, let’s be forgiving.
There were some really dark comedy moments scattered around a nice space station setting.
I really liked it… until the time skipping ruined everything finishing with the most traumatic ending in my Kdrama watching (extended) experience. EVER!!! It’s not the sad/bad ending, I can handle that, it’s the absolute nonsense of the decisions and reactions.
What bothers me the most: (spoiler warning ⚠️ warning ‼️ warning ⛔️ )
1.Lacking any sense in the mother/daughter micro plot between Eve and Jung Na M! Why they build that plot just to ruin it in meaningless unforgivness?!?!
2.Why the end was that rushed and bad? Forget the script disconnection, plot holes, and sad ending, they might of made it at leas meaningful? Did I missed the point of all main characters dying/suffering. There is dark movies and there is pure cruelty, this drama being the cruel one.
3. What was the point of exploring infertility/maternity/hope for life just to kill them all (except the fruit flies). Even the mice babies didn’t survive the massacre. Did someone notice that even the promised space infertility clinic was actually based on the Kong Ryon’s space work (that obviously was disrupted).

Honestly, I write the review to get any personal conclusions and move on with this drama. It brings me tremendous trauma!
Would I recommend - if you like meaningless character killing and constant suffering, go ahead it was pleasing to watch zero gravity setting!
