They did create new organism, I don't know any fish-human hybrid hahahaha fascinating, but also scary as fuck 🤣

I don't think it goes as far as suggesting there were living organisms like her, since she is literally a mix of living organism from Earth. Technically speaking the water is living organism, so I guess in that aspect, there were always living organisms on the moon? haha

The antibody seems like the most probable outcome. They wanted unlimited water, but the water kills the host, so they need something that will save the host aka her antibodies.

Modifying humans will not work coz they will never be accepted as part of the human race, unless they take over. The goal was never modifying the humans in the first place, for these scientists Luna was not even a human, but a clone test subject.

They showed some of her abilities, but I don't think we would be able to figure it all out even if they show had 2nd season haha as for living on Earth: yes. The station was mimicking Earth conditions and she was living there. So there is no reason to think she won't be able to live on the actual planet. I'm more curious... what if they contaminate the lunar water/use it for research etc., could she survive without it?

Am I the only person who really liked the ending? 🙃

I've changed it to 9.5 hahaha I just could not get with Luna walking around Moon no problem 🤣
Luna is the solution - her antibodies can immunize people so the lunar water does not kill her BUT it would be impossible to show the whole progress of it happening since it would again lead to the whole fighting against corporations, probably years of research etc. That would need a whole additional season to happen. So yeah, maybe 2nd season could deliver. Coz if they would want to give a better closer here, they would have to give a "few heard later" type of deal, and it would just show the end result but not the process of getting there, and for me it would cheapen the show...

I'm fine with pseudoscience as long as it's not related to psychology and neuroscience 🤣

I take open ending over forced closed ending. If they ended it on "few years later" one minute shot I would be amazingly disappointed.

The suspense of the drama is built through the “unknown” factor and the process which will eventually lead to the knowledge and not through the violence and action scenes. < exactly why I liked it. It got me curious and that's why I kept watching. When the show is hella action packed and fast pace, I feel simply tired and annoyed 🤣

The second bad thing is the ending. Unfortunately, the story only focuses on the space mission and the mystery behind the accident but not to what happens after. < and here I am loving the ending, which for me added to the series. I can't really explain why I liked it, but for me it perfectly fitted the show, leaving the viewers on a bit of a question mark.

Nonetheless, some suspension of disbelief is required where accuracy in the application of the laws of physics as well as the realism of spaceflights and moon landings are concerned. < Yes. Luckily there are not that many scenes that require that, otherwise the show would be painful to watch at times. I can turn the blind eye from time to time, but I cannot completely shut my brain off throughout the whole drama.

As for CGI, there were a few moments when I was not... amazed by it. At times the scenes were completely unnecessary too, at least to that detail. The lion just felt quite fake, and while I get it was suppose to hint her understanding of animal behavior, which helped her approach Luna later in the show, I feel like they could have done it in a different way without cgi lion.

Great review as always. Weirdly, even tho the ending was quite opened, I liked it a lot.

The issue of who Luna was and what’s her role in helping save humanity - loved that. I appreciated how they presented different scenarios, before giving us the actual answer. It was not her adapting to the water after exposure, it was not the water changing its properties after being in contact with her. She was genetically modified and created to withstand the effects the water has. She became an interspecies hybrid with some water based animal/fish - hinted by the fish surviving the exposition and the gills and scales-like skin she had on the part of her face. She is not something that can be reproduced for other people, but her existence can lead to creating a form of “vaccine” that minimizes the effects the lunar water has on people.

damn, I knew jtbc is not to be trusted.

the whole "writing review for everything" is at times pain in the ass 🤣

I went into the show with no expectations, and was sure to drop it after episode one or two. Gave it a chance only for a few cast members, but as you said it, "definitely one of the biggest surprises of the year". From episode one I was in for the ride, and the ride they delivered.

I found zombies a little funny < nah, me too. They wre cute and funny. When the representative's husband was covered in blood but was like "all cool here" with a smile on his face hahaha it was so funny 🤣

Also, this show had one of the best romances from any show in 2021.

I mean, at the end of the day CITT was infuriating for me tool, just for different reasons lol I don't think anyone truly enjoyed this s how from the beginning till the end 🤣

I am that other opinion, coz I did not care about SL in Cheese in the trap, and I preferred Jung for sure. But then I knew more about both characters coz of the webtoon so that helped a lot. I hated how the writing changed coz they wanted to cater to the viewers demand and Kang Joon's growing popularity, so they sacrificed the plot of the original webtoon and ruined literally every character except from In Ho, coz $$ 🤣

I did go back and check and he heard THE SONG, exactly the part that later Jae Hyuk compared between two songs 🤣
They gained few days by not having comeback on the exact same day lol. They don't hate a lot of time to work with a new song. There was this whole issue of them competing on music shows together for the 1st place, so it's not a matter of weeks, otherwise their schedule would not overlap.

I honestly still can't get over how bullshit of a writing the whole comeback song issue was 🤣

1. Ji Han heard the song, liked it enough to ask Jenna to check him music out and give him some feedback. But what, he forgot about it? It's not like Mars and CC songs were vaguely similar, the melody line was almost the same for the pre-chorus and chorus part.

2. The whole "I have 2nd song" idea... what? And she said she have sent it to the CEO too. Why no one knew about that song, but knew about the first one? Did she send two emails? They could have hint the 2 songs at the beginning - show us CEO scrolling through his emails and we see 2 emails titles "Jenna's song". We would at first assumed she sent the same song twice, to find out later these were two different songs. But nah, they just dropped it out of nowhere hahahaha

3. If she had BETTER song written, why the fuck she wanted to use the weaker one for the last comeback/chance they will ever have? Jenna, you okay? Your brain ok?

4. They barely had time to finish the song they were working on for so long, but now they will start from the beginning with new one? Like they already had recorded the 1st song, it was produced by Troy, they had all the concept photos etc taken and they were still thought the schedule was tight. But now they are flipping everything over and starting from the beginning with new song and the time is not an issue? 🤣

And don't get me wrong, I still love and enjoy the show a lot, but this whole plot line is one of the most ridiculous and senseless things I have seen this year 🤣

Jenna stressing out both brothers... what a concept 🤣
Deserves an award.
God bless her.

Seo Ji Han be acting as if he wrote the song, but all he did was some tweaks after little bish Bbiyong was done with it 🤣
edit: okay he went back to make sense during press conference 🙂

I love the show, but this whole stealing song and that they found out the songs are so similar just now is ridiculous hahaha
Like, there is no way he would forget the song 🤣

They shot the scene outside of the practice room with music toned down a bit like how he hears it lol Not to mention he was "interested" in her coz of her song, and that's why he asked her to listen to his song.
Most practice rooms are soundproof walls wise, but you can usually hear stuff through the door.

The award for the biggest plot hole in 2021 goes to Idol: The Coup for the whole comeback song issue 🤣
We literally watched Ji Han watch and listen to Jenna sing that song in the practice room in episode 1 🙃
