rated 18+ that's interesting. i haven't read the webtoon, but i presume the rating have to do with violence?

oh i wasn't even talking about the story. i rated true beauty low, the webtoon is mid imo. i thought we were talking about in terms of success/popularity. cuz in terms of success true beauty ain't a flop in any sense lol. it's also probably why we have a lot of webtoon adaptations instead of original content :)

i mean i agree with your overall point, writers gotta do better, but true beauty is far from a flop. both webtoon & kdrama are one of the most popular (if not the most well known) works in their respective categories in this decade. wrong example for a flop, unfortunately.

for real 😭 feeling broken is damn right. and the butterflies during their phone call too omg. such a natural simple convo but that didn't hold me back from losing my mind all the same

the feelings i get watching this drama istg. the amount of squealing and grinning that I do, it's like falling in love with someone for the first time irl lol. i can hardly describe it! amazing how the drama can make you feel all the feels by letting the leads just naturally fall in love. no grand or dramatic gestures or poetic voice overs. simple direction that goes tremendously well with the story. it feels very realistic that way, like it's the kind of falling in love you could experience too (although a man that perfect is sure hard to find lol)

not the one week wait again after that preview omg 😭

viki translation was "my kang jiyun is way out of his league" but idk she said it with a disappointed tone that i wonder if it's some translation thing

GOD I'M OBSESSED 😭 GIVE ME ALL THE EPSIODES NOWW

even the writer wouldn't know why nobody was on backup incase of an emergency. wouldn't another suited astronaut go out to help eve & maintain the buddy system anyway. pretty sure you don't wait to pick a substitute and then wait for de pressurisation only once the emergency occurs! also curious why the control asked for eve to be unhooked to pull her back into the hatch? isn't that the only tether holding her in space? afaik there's always another tether that's connected to the hatch but eve was flailing and flying away only on one. i could definitely be wrong on this but feel like i have seen it in other space movies.

i wish to see him in a drama with choi hyunwook. even shin eunseo. a youth drama with all 3 would be amazing

I just can't unsee ha yichan in the teaser 😭 hyunwook is talented he will do well but his high school roles are iconic enough imo to not be easily forgettable

can it be friday already 😭

exactly lol. is it unrealistic? sure. but idgaf i really enjoy these tense sequences where i can watch without over analysing and just have fun😂

man i was really enjoying it including the overall wackiness of the show, but the way gong ryong just marched into eve's room while drunk and pinned his arms on the bed kinda completely put me off his character. that's just icky. Eve isn't just a woman, she is his mission commander. i thought we were past that era of romance. heirs was more than a decade ago. the vfx is so well done it's a shame, they could have simply adapted one of the korean sci fi books instead of this rehash of old tropes but in space that they opted for.

even channel A beat tvn's rating which is crazy that too a weekend drama

the basketball court scene was giving romancee! their chemistry is insane, i have watched it an unhealthy amount of times istg. the ost is the cherry on top

completely agree with almost all your points (i really enjoyed the romance here haha). though an adaptation, and the writer did make some good changes in certain aspects, they could have really stressed on the family by choice part of the show especially when it's much shorter than the cdrama in ep length. a different outcome for the mothers would have been very welcome. and a bit of focus on mental health with sanha & his mother - cuz that really was some toxic shit the kid had gone through.

maybe one day kdrama writers would learn to write a romance with no past connection or childhood trauma lol

my man sure has ocd but it makes him perfect lol. the way he made his convenience store ramen damn he knows a thing or two about the way to your heart is through your stomach or something 😂

second half of ep3 was great. the first half was wacky and camp as expected. can see where the money went with the elaborate space cgi. it would have been better without a preview, but they did build up intrigue. the best part of any space fiction imo is the bond between the characters who are stuck together in these life & death situations and how they tackle those situations together. so it was fun to see it in play today. and this one has added romance to push that narrative more.
