Wow...feels weird to finally watch this drama after waiting so long. Love scifi and thrillers - especially space centered - so this was right up my alley
Positives: pacing was fine, interesting dystopian angle and mysterious illness, great acting. Majority of the cast included some of my favorites in the k-industry (Bae Doo Na was fantastic as always). There were some complaints about the cgi but eh, it wasn't too bad. I found the moon shots breathtaking
Negatives: can't put my finger on it but I feel like I've watched this storyline before. Much of this felt familiar and predictable. Thin plot with a lot of illogical decision making and virtually no character depth. Final episode was clearly pushing for a season 2
Yeah there were a lot of plot holes and some things weren't scientifically sound but it was enjoyable for an 8 episode binge. Overall, not bad for a scifi kdrama. Hope to see more in the near future
I don't think its a 9/10. I don't think its perfect, its actually far away from perfect. Still I think it deserves…
Exactly!!! Couldn't agree more with everything you said. I really, really hope we see more scifi thrillers air in the near future 👽
Speaking of Hometown, I put it off for so long because of the <8.0 score but I've read similar comments saying that it's severely underrated. One thing about mdl: people's reaction to romance (or lack thereof) heavily influences the ratings. It's not always the case but just something to be aware of because that genre suits a lot of users' taste
surface level characters, rushed ending, many unanswered questions. this was less of a zombie thriller and more a lackluster romance imo. overall, I regret wasting time on this
definitely not a huge fan of how netflix is changing the k-drama format to a more westernized one with multiple…
definitely! 10-12 eps is tight enough for the writers to expand on the story without dragging for too long and adding unnecessary filler. part of the kdrama appeal is having a story contained in one season so i hope this trend doesn't continue

kind of agree with you on the lack of filler but the ending was still open enough to imply a 2nd season that we have to wait around for. i would've preferred just one season of 10-12 eps
Its funny how people are saying this had deeper philosophical lessons because the execution was such a mess. If…
i finally finished the leftovers recently. thought this drama was gonna go more that route and was thoroughly underwhelmed. it's like it had all the elements but glossed over them all in a very rushed and cliched way
thought it was strange that they assumed the killer on the boat was a woman because of the long hair. my instinct figured it could be a man and now here we are lol
i never understood why xuan zhen was so stuck on her brother picking her up. she never seemed to treat her siblings well so why him?
and it's so creepy that all these men were following nianmei that night yet they didn't see each other???? her teacher, the opera teacher, and her dad at one point? cmon lol
