Only consistent character here in being awful is ML, kuddos to them for at least being able to maintain the character of one of them. If you thought like me that Eve was the only sane character they make her cross to the dark side by episode 8 so the romance can climax, otherwise it wouldn't work because their belief systems are technically opposite, so one had to give in, and it obviously had to be her as you all probably already saw it coming going by the overall tone of the series.

For those that watched some episodes and didn't like it I'm here to tell you it doesn't get better so don't bother. I really think this has some pro-life and christian investors for sure. At points I think it wants to be satire and parody only to do something that confirms that they're actually serious about it.

Totally! I can't see any way this is going to improve for me from now on because I truly despise ML's character and I doubt very much his views are going to change.

Adding to what airplane_mode said, after that, Kong Ryong pressures the rest of the crew to help him fertilize the last three eggs in exchange for his silence about the lottery ticket. He briefly helps Eve pick a new mate for the rat that he operated on and somehow this is presented as them rekindling. Kong Ryong makes a very unrealistic fertilization without microscope and manages to fertilize one of the three eggs he had (two of them die).
At the end, Kong Ryong meeting Eve in front of the rat container kind of looks at her like he's having feelings for her again, even though he had insulted her very badly earlier.

Personally someone that calls me a murderer for tossing some cells in line with my work, security and the rules I have to abide to and wishes I had died in the accident in previous episodes would be literally dead to me and there would be zero chances of any type of relationship after that, yet here they make her forget about it two seconds after and he's interested in her again once his ego has increased due to his fertilization success. Talk about a man-child for him and changing her personality to a more sweet disposition only when convenient so the "romance" works.
This is also paired with the argument moment when Kong Ryong defends that the fertilized eggs are already a baby. Take that as you will but personally let's say I wouldn't want him as my gynecologist. The hypocrisy of this as well considering a few episodes earlier he provoked a fire that could have killed an already alive person just to create some morulas on a petri dish. A tourist in space mansplaining to the commander things like he has some authority over anything is enough to send me.

I couldn't agree more!

I was generally enjoying this until episode 6 despite the unrealisticness and the inaccuracies. It has lost me completely with what happened in that episode and how it was tackled. It's also hilarious that they're trying so hard to depict the only sane and professional person there (Eve) as the bad guy.

hahaha😂😂😂😂 muito obrigado!😄

Thank you very much! and makes sense 😂

thank you! if it wasn't because I had nothing else to watch while eating my meals I would have dropped it too😂 I totally agree with you, they could have done something good with the idea but sadly they did this instead...

muito obrigado!

Very true, as optimistic as I want to be it's a typical kdrama like you say so it wouldn't be surprising in the slightest they go that route...

Very true, but playing a bit the devil's advocate here we technically don't know how all his relationships went. This ex of his was the first one after he went to, I'm assuming, confess to FL in the US and she had a boyfriend. It feels like he got a girlfriend for the sake of it and to try and move on, so although not ideal because it falls in that stereotype you say at the same time it kind of makes sense in the story. We don't know if he was that way in his later relationships or how many he had, we know there is at least one. If they talk about any other and falls into the same troupe then yeah, that would be a shame.

She has shown some kind of romantic attraction towards him here and there, little, but it's there, and clearly there are some hidden feelings there, maybe she's not even fully aware of them or simply she always put them to the side assuming he wouldn't feel the same way and that they're friends above all. On the other hand, she having lingering feelings for her ex doesn't mean she cannot start feeling something towards anyone else. The ex hurt her badly but it doesn't mean that in that hurt she can't still feel love for what he was and what they shared. People generally don't move on from one day to another.
I'm not sure if you mean it as a negative thing that her character might be too complex, but personally I think that if anything that would be an indication of realness, good writing and complete character instead of the uni-dimensional ones we get in dramas many times.

As someone that likes slice of life dramas I'm really enjoying this one so far. I'm hopping it keeps this level all throughout (or gets even better). It's been a long time I haven't been this annoyed I have to wait a week to watch more episodes😂

Yeah, I know they wanted to make the point of him craving affection but simply there were other ways of doing it. For me that was bad execution.
Also while Mijin might not be very motherly figure in theory all her actions since she started being interested in him are very motherly in the taking care of him at any chance that arises, more than anything else, there is a dwelling on that type of interaction between them. On the other hand, while she was shown as having more temper and being able to do things herself in the beginning, as episodes pass she's becoming more and more the damsel in distress.
So while I agree with you about Mijin in the beginning of the drama, now not so much.
And while some will argue that's just love on her part, it's not what she does but how she does it for me.

Sure, that's just very basic Freud psychology, but there is a difference between having a partner that shares attributes or ways of doing with one or both of your parents and looking at someone and thinking of your mother.
Also the two articles you pasted I'm afraid are quite bad for a multiple of reasons, first of all because studies with such a small sample of population mean nothing. On the other hand because although many countries with less investment in psychology still use Freud as a very matter of fact but many branches of psychology have already studied and pretty much proved how shallow and how much of his own personal projection his theories are.
It's common that people will find a partner that feels comfortable and that in consequence will share similarities with your parents or the people that raised you because of that said comfort, but that's nothing related to someone looking at their partner and thinking of their mother/father or looking specifically for someone that would treat them like their mothers. That's a problem that could be caused by multiple factors, in this case obviously with ML because of the trauma he has related to his mother but it doesn't excuse the behaviour nor it doesn't mean it isn't problematic and he certainly should tackle it if he were a real person. I've met men in the past that looked for a mother figures in their partners, it's very creepy, it doesn't go related to their physical attributes as much as certain expectations in the relationship dynamics.
My boyfriend is also a male and he thinks it's creepy. And even thinking in the possibility of looking at him one day and reminiscing of my father/mother? UGH, no.

I don't mind either and I prefer it, but I draw the line at trying to sell me they're not flaws though, or trying to pass them as appealing, or brushing them off just because he also did something nice so it compensates. What I find a bit concerning is how it normalises and romanticises certain behaviours of the ML to make him appealing to the viewers. Certainly he's not the worst ML character I've seen but it still gives me the ick.

Very true

Nothing more romantic than looking at the woman you like in the kitchen and reminisce about your mother... *sarcasm* (ML in episode 11). There are some things he does that are such red flags, not a fan.

Personally I felt they were trying to portray it the other way around. They were trying to portray the assistant as over the top by highlighting how proper it is to work overtime, how it would only take a minute (although this is actually not specified), how lazy she is and basically an overall excuse to get her out and give the job to FL that is what the drama writers wanted anyway.
