“I woke up from the dream. You should too.”

Eve tells us so well in this quote: we too should wake up from this dream, because for me, this kdrama is a dream… well, more like a nightmare. The budget was huge for such a mediocre kdrama. It feels like there are really no screenwriters here, I can't believe that actors can agree to play in such a production.

From the first episode, I saw that this kdrama was going to be bad, but I never thought it would be this bad. Although the soundtrack is excellent, with beautiful melodies and great artists like Jin from BTS or Seungkwan from Seventeen, these are the main positive points of this kdrama, with the aesthetics and the visuals in space that offer beautiful scenes.

Now let's move on to the last episode which nails the show. Honestly, it's a pretty sad episode, especially when we learn that Eve didn't survive and gave life to her daughter in space. I definitely had tears in my eyes during the scenes of life with the OST in the background, it was super moving.

Anyway, this kdrama had everything to be an excellent drama: great actors, a good soundtrack, but unfortunately such poor writing that today, we probably end up with one of the worst kdramas in Korean history.

What I remember here are Gong Ryong's words at the beginning of the show:
“I have always thought of the universe as a womb. Now I wonder if it is a tomb. Instead of a place of birth, perhaps it is a place of death.” - Gong Ryong
