Great show

I disagree with the low rating of this drama. It's a very good show. The creators clearly worked hard and did a professional job. The unusual story keeps you interested the whole time.
Good directing and camera work. Great cast with good acting from everyone.
Lee Min Ho's acting was amazing from start to finish. I wasn't his fan before, but this role and his role in Pachinko changed my mind. I'm now excited to see his future work.

Some might think there are mistakes in the show. But remember, it's science fiction with comedy. The first half of show has light humor, and some scenes are almost silly, but they fit the style and are well done.
Also, the creators explained many confusing parts. If you watch carefully, many things make sense.
The only thing I didn't like was how they showed the Korean Space Agency and Mission Control Center. Maybe they didn't have enough money for better scenes. Still, many space and technology elements are shown well.

The ending is very sad but believable.
After pregnant Eve goes to space and Ryong is sentenced by the court, there couldn't be a happy ending for them. We don't see it, but we can imagine the few months they spent together at the space station were happy.
They probably knew they wouldn't survive (especially Ryong). But as Eve says in the middle of the show, dying isn't so scary if you're happy.

For me, this show is about being loyal to someone you love, to your job, to science, to humanity, and to life itself.
The creators took a risk by choosing very difficult themes of space, obstetrics and gynecology, and made a great comedy that turns into a drama that really touches your heart. I think it's one of the best Korean shows.

A story about the courage to be yourself

He worked really hard to be what others wanted and hid his true self.
She spent all her energy to be herself.
I’m not usually a fan of dramas with the “rich guy – poor girl” theme, so I didn’t expect much from this show.
But I really liked it. Every episode was interesting, and I never wanted to skip any part.
The main character is different from the usual romantic hero. He’s really sweet and manages to combine being a geek, a rocker, and a successful businessman. Choi Hyun Wook did an excellent job, as always. This guy brings any series to life.
The female lead impressed me with her sense of balance and her ability to stand up for justice immediately, without hesitation or revenge plans.
It was also nice to see the main characters communicate and solve problems together, without overthinking or making sacrifices, believing they know what’s best for others.
I also liked all the secondary characters, except the grandmother, who was a bit much.
The beginning of the series was quite unexpected and interesting.
It touches on online love and friendship, showing how easy it is to be deceived and carried away, and how deeply disappointing it can be to face reality.
Overall, the show was enjoyable, easy to watch, and the comedy didn’t turn into a heavy drama.
It makes you laugh at the beginning, in the middle and at the end, but it also gives you something to think about.
