I watched 3 episodes, and here's what I think. The fight scenes are very unrealistic, but it's a drama! It's done for the sake of emotions. I can't even remember the last time I laughed this much. What bothers me is that the adults are completely indifferent to the kids (except for one teacher). It seems like they'll only pay attention to them after they start killing each other.
Episode 11 was interesting and intense. Eve hesitated for a long time between what her mind was telling her and what her heart felt, but in the end, she chose Ryong. The moment she came to him was very emotional and tense, but then his ex showed up. She just doesn't seem to want to accept the obvious — Ryong is no longer interested in a relationship with her. He has repeatedly made it clear that it's over between them, but she keeps chasing him. Honestly, it's getting annoying. But what annoys me even more is Dong A. His behavior: first betrayal, then trying to justify himself by saving her and saying "I love you," and then, when she leaves him, he blames her for going not because of his mistakes or because she simply doesn't want to be with him anymore, but because of her feelings for someone else. That's manipulation. You need to run from people like that. And also, this is no longer about love triangles. This team is so hilarious. They went through so much for that lottery ticket and still lost it 😭😭😭
Every drama has its flaw. Even I was bored in some scenes. And I thought some scenes doesn't make sense. And was…
I agree with you. This drama truly tries to combine science fiction with the real prospects of humanity’s future. The idea that space travel will become an everyday reality in the future seems logical. It’s no longer just fantasy – technology is advancing, and at some point, this could become real. I also agree that the OST creates a magical atmosphere. The visual aspect – CGI, the detailed depiction of the space station – looks expensive and high-quality. You can see that a lot of resources were invested, which adds to the drama’s uniqueness. As for the romantic storylines – yes, they evoke a lot of emotions. Even if they seem unnecessary, they still impact the viewers. These love triangles aren’t as clichéd as in typical dramas. The scientific aspect is also interesting. It’s clear that the creators tried to make it more realistic rather than just fantasizing about a distant future.
The plot of Goodbye Earth feels scattered and unfinished. As I just found out, the problem is that many scenes were cut because of one actor. But he is still in the drama, so what’s the point? This only ruined the drama. I like it, but I definitely wouldn’t call it the best. If all the scenes had been kept, it might have been in my top favorites.
Correct. What excites you the most while watching?
This is very similar to my feelings. I just relax while watching this drama. The funny moments with the group or the dramatic situations related to their problems in space—all of this brings out emotions, and that’s why I love this story. Another discovery for me was that the romantic storyline doesn’t bother me at all, even though in most dramas, I usually have that feeling. Here, it’s actually the opposite—I’m genuinely interested in how their relationship will develop further. I think this drama is truly unique. Maybe not for others, but for me, it’s something special.
At first, I was disappointed when I saw romance listed as a genre because I realized that the main focus would likely be on relationships rather than the scientific aspect, meaning it wouldn't be a serious sci-fi drama like Black Knight. But then I let go of those expectations and stopped demanding more from the series. I think people would enjoy this drama much more if they didn’t take it too seriously, didn’t try to find deep philosophy in every moment, and simply treated it as an entertaining experience meant to bring enjoyment.
I hadn’t really thought much about what the idea of creating life in space truly means, but after analyzing it, I realized that there are two different ways to look at it.
The first perspective, which is the most talked about. The fact that the main character goes to space to create new life can seem like a forced idea or even put pressure on those who don’t want or are unable to have children. In this sense, it can genuinely be perceived as promoting childbirth, especially in South Korea, where such topics spark heated debates. The more I thought about it, the more I understood why it caused outrage.
The second perspective, which I personally embraced. This storyline can also be seen as a story of human determination and the ability to pursue one's dreams. If having a child is so important to someone that they are willing to overcome gravity, technological limitations, and all possible risks to achieve this goal—even in space—then it speaks to the strength of the human spirit. From this angle, the idea is not something to be condemned but rather respected.
Ultimately, it all depends on how you look at it—for some, it’s a controversial idea, while for others, it’s an inspiring one.
Is the problem with this type of drama that people want more action. But here, they literally showed what would happen if such a situation occurred—humanity would destroy itself before the asteroid even hits. "Goodbye Earth" illustrates that in the face of an inevitable catastrophe, society does not unite but instead plunges into chaos, panic, and brutality. This feels more realistic than the usual stories of heroic survival. Maybe this approach doesn’t appeal to everyone, as many expect spectacular events, while this drama focuses on the realistic downfall of society.
Haven't watched this and don't ever plan to. Judging from these comments and the rating, it seems like Lee Min…
Well, I want to say that many people here don’t actually watch the drama but only come to say something negative and lower the rating. But that’s up to you. The drama is not that bad. A rating doesn’t always mean that a drama is bad, and even if it is, it might still be something you enjoy. Many dramas have an average rating but still find their audience
