ShortCircuit

He's not involved in the divorce in any way, he's not trying to seduce her. She's his inspiration for his career, he doesn't really realize she maybe doesn't recognize him since 10 years back (though she might, she has a memory like a steel trap already, LOL, she even remembers what she said and did when black-out drunk). Even if he's idealizing her as maybe romantic interest, for now it's just infatuation at most and admiration for her work as a director, and the interest that comes from having passively looked for her for years.

I don't think it's creepy he tries to maintain the link - it's been 10 years since they last met, and he probably invested a lot of emotions in meeting her again. I would try to keep up a connection, too.

He met her when he was despising his father for being a public cleaning personnel, and getting bullied for it. Her ad praising the small time employees - particularly cleaners - changed his mind and made him repair his relationship with his father. And then she inspired him to get into his actual career (that he had shown interest in but wasn't decided on since he was a schoolkid.)

So yeah, she was pretty impactful for his life. If she remembers him in turn... who knows. She probably does remember the ad, though, because it was one of her first works and got a prize too.

It's all in the drama, unless you skip...

(ep5) Gimme the booooooox, where's MY boooooooox!!!

Darn, that was sooo pretty. I wouldn't mind receiving such a gift box. I hope they make it a merch for the drama, LOL.

I blame Star Wars for it, LOL. I mean, Alien did whatever it could to fix it (going even by the promo byline) but SW was a way more successful franchise and now everybody expects sound to travel in space because why not :D

Forgot to mention - this feels a bit like Wuliang (darker tones, cinematography, hints at cruel things.)

Also, I'm loving Han YaSi, he'd better be in a lot of episodes, he seems to have a lot of secrets and maybe a hidden agenda too. The actor (Omid - well, that name...) also has amazing facial structure, pretty interesting. I definitely want the character to have a HEA, if possible.

I don't really like the Gong sister though, she's a bit extra.

Episodes are 1 hour long, there's time. And the cinematography, music and general atmosphere is absolutely amazing (going by first episode). This one looks beautiful and promises a lot. I hope it delivers.

...I didn't even mention how they double-commanded Flight Control, LOL, or how the ex-Flight Control commander was retired to be either 1. a game warden or 2. a supervisor at an astronomical observatory (which made more sense, but then what was that with the freaking boars?! So random, LOL) but was brought back to do - WHAT?? He'd been retired for years, there SHOULD have been some changes made so that Woo-Ri didn't explode too, what could he contribute more than the people who already were in the ground control crew? Or how Mt. Sobaek Observatory was just across the street from the Space Command (wherever THAT was, maybe in Seoul, LOL), and how he basically teleported from the observatory to the SC and back in minutes. And how his colleague from the observatory (never caught what it was exactly she was supposed to be doing there, maybe an assistant?!) just hitched a ride along with him when they wanted, and waltzed in and out of the SC like nobody's business. Don't they have security there?!

I could SEE all the little pieces from other space disaster movies that inspired them (like The Martian for example - astronaut stranded, first in space, then on the Moon - check; amazing shots of lunar views - check; astronaut deciding to go against orders to do the mission - check; getting help from other astronauts against orders - check; rogue Mission Control - check; improvised and failing contact - check... And so on and so forth. Even the Iron Man flight recovery part. )

I guess SK doesn't get it about space yet. (I mean, after this and The Silent Sea, which is also full of science bloops, it looks like maybe drama/movie makers are a bit too fixed on story/dramatic parts and less interested in covering the science convincingly, LOL.)

But the effects are still good, and well, they can always try again :D

Wow, this looks amazing!! Every cdrama from this year is gorgeous, they're hitting a stride.

For this one - it's filmed like a whole cinema epic. I love it!

Maybe it was something lost in translation, but it really bugged me they kept repeating SunWoo would be the second man to walk on the Moon. I mean, most of us watched the lunar landing, and it featured two people already - Armstrong and Aldrin. And in total, the Americans put 12 people on the Moon altogether. NASA says 4 of them are still alive. So pretending SK is ready to send a manned mission to the Moon, SunWoo would be no. 13, LOL. Also, SK wouldn't even be the second country to send anything to the Moon - the US, the USSR, the Chinese and last week the Indians got that part covered too.

Then... what in the name of whattaf*ckery was that initial setup?!! You have freaking solar flaring and you send not one, but TWO astronauts in EVAs?!! I repeat, in SOLAR FLARING?!! (Or worse, they were directly INSTRUCTED NOT TO DO IT and they did it anyway! Because f*ck training and science and even direct orders, why not?!)

And then (obviously) they both die because everybody has to get emotional and start yelling in place of trying to keep their wits about them and deal with problems in a professional manner. And the third and only astronaut left is (surprisingly) the son of the engineer accused of having done something to contribute to the first try/failure (with all crew lost) and he doesn't even know how to control the freaking space ship because WHY the heck would an astronaut TRAINED to do exactly that not know that?!!

And he has suicidal ideations to boot. Does NOBODY do their job on that SK Space Control thing?!! (Them and the freaking lit-educated Space... thing minister, who is more emo than a whole class of a 12-year old goth girls!)

Not to mention that said astronaut (who can't control the command module, but let's leave that aside) also just decides on his own that f*ck Space Command or whatever it's called and let's go - by his own lonely self - and do the freaking mission!! Did nobody watch freaking Apollo 13? Those people WERE trained and they still aborted when the slightest thing went wrong. You don't get to Rambo space, vacuum and freaking Moon landings! And then survive a meteor shower who had this schyzo tendency to only work some times and hit all kinds of places BUT lunar modules, LOL, and obviously no satellites (Armageddon, did you lie to me?!) and also no NASA Moon orbiters.

Because of reasons.

Let's all drink to the memory of the drone, though, that one was a tough little drone who at first couldn't even elevate him from the crater - but assisted - and then could even break his terminal velocity. Which, if anyone's interested, given he's free falling for 100 km (well maybe not really FREE falling, since he pushed, but let's pretend that would make sense because hey! more acceleration is ALWAYS better when falling with no chute (or atmosphere), right? (WRONG!!) - well, considering Newton and his freaking laws of motion, should be rad(2gh) so maybe 565-66 m/s (around 2037+ km/h). Ain't nobody breaking that. But we can pretend the drone DID break his fall that much because of reasons.

There are so many things... Ah dammit.

Anyway, great special effects (some of them outstanding), I loved the music, to be honest, but the plot is a complete mess and that's that. Then again, as I've said... this isn't a docu drama, so I'll just pretend. But I definitely hoped for something more.

What this movie did well: special effects (most of them) and the soundtrack (sounded a bit like Interstellar, here and there).

What it did wrong... there's a lot of that. But then, I give it a lot of room for error because it's not a documentary and it needed a story to move people.

It's the process, the process of undressing him... But she's his mother, she has the right. Yet, in public, LOL :D

LOL @ all of you pervs... his own MOTHER undressed him in public, in the middle of a (slightly busy) shop, and it's STILL not enough for you??

Whereas I am sitting here wondering why mom didn't think that shirt definitely deserved to be matched with some pants, probably.... LOL

They're not officially divorced yet (by ep2) but she's determined to end it because he's a serial cheater. (And he seems to believe she's supposed to be a SAHW and have no actual ambitions, and accept her best times have passed - she's at most mid-30s and a professional. He's an idiot IMHO).

Though these two (and presumably more) are adults and there's no hysterics over it (at least not so far). Spouses also have a joint company so I guess the ex will be around for a while, if not for the whole series.

But it sure looks like a pretty nice, sleek, modern drama with no overtones of overacted romance (none so far, again). Dive in :D

(ep2) I declare myself a fan of wingman bro Song LOL. The way they worked yogether to put the fear of the powers that be in that intern (who has a BEAUTIFUL smokey voice, if I may say so) - masterclass. LOL, Song called him "cruel". Who, that cute little fluffy puppy? I didn't see the resemblance LOL.

This drama gets better and better :D

I bet it's an open secret there.

They're having HUGE 100 year-old discounts, last I hear. I'm going to be in that line :D

I really am not a morning person. Definitely no morning routine (and most definitely no sports wake-up).

But I could feel inspired by some gifs LOL. At least I'd watch them right? :D

"If you don't put yourself on the market, after 30 you're going to be out of fashion."

...I am in this conversation and I don't like it, LOL.

I think I'm going to like this drama :D

So I just watched the first ep and it looks pretty interesting and slow (I like slow, and I like non-stylized costume dramas). But then I come here to see how the trailer looks and it's scored by a sad BGM OST of Nirvana in Fire? What, does it mean it's supposed to end sadly? Can anyone please spoil me on this, please?

That poor final cra~~~, sadly, OMG, that was still hilarios. So was Mu BingHe closing the windows because he suddenly started getting a little hot hahaha.
