Damn, the beginning is promising, but the further it goes, the weaker it gets... At first, the antagonist was well-developed, with his backstory and motivations – he's definitely the most interesting character here. But then the focus shifted to an overly drawn-out chase: everyone is trying to catch him but keeps failing, making the plot feel dull. I wish there was more attention to the psychology of the characters rather than an endless pursuit. The plot could have been better.

I wrote this comment before this moment... If we talk about it now, it confuses me even more. A teacher goes to a student at night to treat him? And then this happens. The whole situation feels forced. I know this is one of the standard tropes in romantic Korean dramas, but in this case, it feels wrong because it crosses the boundaries between teacher and student. She perceives him as a schoolboy, and as long as that remains the case, any hints of romance seem unethical.

I feel uncomfortable with this romantic storyline. Yes, he is an adult man working undercover, but to her, he is still her student. I wish he had revealed his true identity to her earlier to avoid this strange dynamic, or that the romance had been left out entirely.

My rating keeps rising with each new episode, keep going

Listen to the dream I had today.

It was the ending of the drama. Ryeong was in prison (sentenced to 2 years), Eve was alive and well with her baby on Earth (didn’t go to space), and everyone was happily helping her with the child.

Even my dream was better than this ending. Why did they have to kill Eve 😭😭

I toooo like the slow pace, this way, the story feels better

I see that nothing has changed in the comments since my last visit…
I avoided this section after a certain situation, which made even the mention of this drama trigger me, but finally (it seems) it has passed, so I want to share my impressions again.

"Newtopia" gives me emotional whiplash^^
The first episode intrigued me and I generally liked it, while the second one seemed boring and even made me feel uncomfortable due to the characters’ unreasonable actions and humor that didn’t seem funny to me. So, the third episode became the deciding one—after watching it, I realized that I would still continue.

I’ll admit, I was biased against this drama because its storytelling style is different from what I’m used to. But over time, I accepted it as it is: a series that you can watch to relax, without turning on your brain and overanalyzing the characters' illogical actions.

I liked the musical accompaniment—it gives me chills.
As for the actors, in my opinion, they all fit their roles, and I have no complaints about their acting. Portraying comedic characters with exaggerated scenes is quite difficult, and in my view, they managed to do it well.

I wouldn’t call this drama a masterpiece, but I also wouldn’t say it’s bad as it seemed to me after episode 2. It’s something in between, but it still sparks my curiosity, probably due to its non-standard approach, so I want to find out what happens next.

I'm not a fan of romantic dramas, but this one has captivated me. I've learned to appreciate such a slow pace in dramas and savor every minute of it. And the ML appeals to me with his charismatic mind.

Tomorrow is the final episode. Time has flown by so fast 😭😭 This drama will stay with me forever. These past two months have been special because of it. I'm grateful to everyone who put effort into making it

They are not his real aunts but his mother's best friends

I completely agree with you, I have the same thing

Why didn’t that old man put more security in place..... The scene where they break in felt forced—they should have written it better.And Tae Hui is so annoying. I still can't fully understand her—one moment she's nice to Eve, and the next, she acts completely different.I get that the writers want to portray Eve as a mature and composed woman who doesn’t give in to impulses, but honestly, I’d love to see a scene where she finally puts Dong and Tae Hui in their place. That would be so satisfying for me.

Wow, I just came here to write comments about this drama and didn’t know that by doing so, I automatically support bullying actors 😃😃 And yes, I didn’t see anything horrible here like you claim, but that doesn’t give you the right to accuse me of it. You are automatically labeling people without knowing anything about them.
As for the drama, I can both praise it and point out what I didn’t like.
In our previous conversation, you also responded to me aggressively, even though I didn’t say anything bad about you—just like now. From this, I can also draw conclusions—you react too emotionally and throw around accusations without any basis. Just because you see hate somewhere doesn’t mean that everyone automatically supports it.
I have the right to express both positive and negative opinions about the drama. Your aggressive tone only proves that you’re not interested in a discussion—you’re just looking for someone to attack.
It’s impossible to have a reasonable conversation with you. Goodbye.

When I check the comments, I don’t see any hatred here. If people are just saying why they don’t like the drama, that’s not hate. But I won’t read everything, so even if there is some, writing like this is really not a good way to respond.
From my own experience, the best way to handle hate is to ignore it for your own peace of mind. Instead, it's better to write about why you like this drama to attract people who also enjoy it and create discussions with those who appreciate it.

"Newtopia" has a rather specific sense of humor that won't appeal to everyone. It was my most anticipated premiere among the February releases, so what I saw was somewhat disappointing. However, the series still piques my curiosity, so my usual "don't like it – drop it" approach doesn't apply this time. I want to see what happens next, so I'll continue watching.

I asked nicely. Most people read comments while watching, and it's not that hard to press the "Spoiler" button.

Ahhh, please mark spoilers 😭

I don't think I can criticize this drama too much since this genre (romance) has a hard time engaging me.
First and foremost, I was interested because of my favorite actors in the lead roles—they delivered an incredible performance as always.
Secondly, I got interested in the idea of cinema itself. Honestly, whenever they say anything about it, I always listen with such attention and fascination haha.
And thirdly, the supporting characters also seem interesting to me, though I wish I could see them more often.

It really looks funny when misfortunes happen in a drama just because the female lead is nearby, and the rating is bad too.
If I was angry yesterday, now I'm laughing
