A Disappointing Watch Indeed!
This show had so many random twists and turns that I literally don’t know where it went awry!
And this was supposedly tvN’s costliest project till date. I get it, I mean all that trivia about space and the equipments must have cost a fortune; and yet they delivered the biggest flop of the year. Even Lee Min Ho’s charisma couldn’t save it. There were so many loopholes in the storyline that I can’t defend it anymore-
1) Honestly, not a fan of cheating trope. Going Ryong did travel to space as a tourist for his patient’s sake, but if he didn’t have feelings for Go Eun, he should have made it clear before he left; or atleast in the thousand other occasions he got while he was in space.
2) I fail to understand how the main leads fell in love within a week, given Eve’s tough personality and disciplined character. Also, despite being veteran actors, their chemistry didn’t serve.
3) The last four episodes made zero sense, I understand sharing body heat, but is it really possible to have sex in zero gravity? Even if they couldn’t detect Eve’s pregnancy in the hundreds of tests they did before she left for the space station, how did the morula survive the space travel? Also, Gong Ryong didn’t finish his training and yet managed to sustain for 6 months in outer space, how?
4) The ending was preposterous, I didn’t quite understand the purpose behind it. Are they trying to propagate their agenda of giving birth in space?
