This is a rant
Putting logic aside, I was really rooting for this rom-com until the final episode. The English name in no way prepares you for the mess of this drama. After the first 6-8 episodes, this drama was tolerable until the final episode. Overall, this drama reeks of propaganda and misogyny. Were the actors black-mailed to do this?
This show is polarizing. If you suffer from infertility or know any science - basic or a full blown astronaut - it's triggering. Even to the layman, it's unbelievable. The happy ending was there, they even shown us a glimpse of it, just to swerve left and jump off a bridge.
Issues/Opinions
1. Science without objectivity. The one good thing about this drama is that it can show how unchecked emotions/beliefs/etc. can ruin Science. Human beings are fallible in all that they do. One must take this into consideration in all things.
2. The science is not believable. I can explain further but I don't want to discuss the plot too much here.
4. With the creative liberties this drama took, it should have embraced the fantastical - went full on fantasy/anime.. in the world of Cowboy Bebop for example. That way the idea of humans having the technology to comfortably procreate in space would be more believable.
5. The whole premise was selfish. I understand wanting to be a mother but asking people to risk their lively-hoods and break international law was selfish and peak rich asshole entitlement.
6. The MOST triggering thing about this drama: "Counting your eggs before they hatch."
7. I read a review that this show was pro-life propaganda. I tried to rationalize it in another way but... yea. The themes of "having a child regardless of any consideration for said child and mother" is pro-life propaganda. Also, the "mother's sacrifice" propaganda. All the things the FL worked hard for an tried to preserve became not as important. It reinforces the ideology that women are only good for giving birth. I even agree with another user's review in that Eve's ending was probably recompense for destroying the morulas.
8. As someone who worked in labs, the way they disposed of biological material bothered me. No biological red bags or incineration. Not important but I noticed.
I liked the soundtrack but I liked Jin's song long before I watched the drama.
