A K-Drama That Tried to Be Everything and Ended Up as a Cosmic Mess

Ah, the sweet sound of hype imploding like a black hole swallowing a dying star.*

This drama had one job: make interstellar romance charming. Instead, it delivered a celestial dumpster fire where logic went to die. 12 episodes in, and it’s painfully clear—the writers were either sleep-deprived or conducting a social experiment to see how much absurdity audiences will tolerate.

#The Leads: Chemistry or Chemistry Experiment Gone Wrong?
The main couple has the romantic tension of two astronauts trapped in separate orbits. Their love story is marketed as “destined,” but it feels more like an HR violation waiting to happen. He broods like he’s trying to out-angst every K-drama lead ever, while she oscillates between quirky and utterly baffling.

#The Plot: A Telenovela on Steroids
At first, you think, 'Ah, it’s a rom-com with space elements.' Then episode after episode, you realize it’s a thriller, a sci-fi melodrama, a corporate revenge saga, and possibly a guide on how NOT to write a coherent script. The subplots multiply like bacteria in a petri dish—messy, uncontrollable, and occasionally dangerous.

#The Side Characters: Walking Red Flags
Every supporting character is either secretly evil, morally bankrupt, or just there to deliver one-liners before disappearing forever.

#Final Verdict: 2/10 Meteor Showers
This drama is like ordering a luxury space cruise and getting stranded in an asteroid belt of nonsense. You WILL laugh, but mostly at how ridiculous it gets. If you love watching beautiful people suffer through questionable writing, congratulations—this is your next guilty pleasure.

But hey, at least it’s entertaining in a *watching-a-satellite-crash* kind of way.
