Thoughtful review. Based on the star cast, production value, and premise of the show, one could extrapolate something fantastic in the Sci-Fi genre.
Unfortunately, the plot and the characters were lackluster. Who is to blame? Is it the director or the screenwriter or producer or studio? It can't be the actors because they all had solid performances.
So, it was disheartening to watch such talented acting be bogged down by a boring script and dull story. As a sci-fi geek with a proclivity to seek K-Dramas of this genre, I felt doubly let-down by this show, as there are very few sci-fi shows in K-Drama Land. (There are plenty of shows that are fantasy genre, which is not sci-fi).
