I honestly feel like a loooot of people hope watches a lot 🤣 just hoping the show will get better, but it rarely does haha

Also bless Tine. I just copied links for sources and she nicely put them as 🔗 with just numbers. I'm dumb, but it did not even cross ny mind hahaha

Thank you Bye 😘

Honestly, her ost from A Piece of Your Mind was one of the best from that drama. It perfectly fitted the mood.

Well... the blood did not turn into water tho 🤣
But yeah, Gong Yoo dying was easily predictable. And when we saw the flashback of him telling his daughter about coming back, we knew he ain't coming back 🤣🤣🤣🤣

a lot of things were "answered" with short shots of key elements, so yeah it was easy to miss things if someone got distracted here and there. I am used to playing with my phone when watching dramas too, but I try to stop myself with sci-fi (coz I feel I need to pay closer attention) and horrors (since getting into the mood and getting the atmosphere is the key to enjoy it lol ).

She was basically an X-Man lol
Lunar water will not run out since you can have unlimited amount of it just from one drop lol one drop of water in a glass, drop some fish and you have full glass lol It can be any living being, does not have to be human. They can use plants, as we saw at the end when the whole station was flooding.

This is what I like about shows like that, and why I appreciate that no ALL questions were fully answered - it leave the room for discussion and exchange of theories hahaha

pretty sure the plants were alive, and served as hosts.

he had to stay outside, coz they could not close the door from the inside, and one person had to do it manually from the outside. He got an error message about failure of the sensor. Basically they had to depressurize the room from outside of the room to be able to leave. So one had to stay behind.

just a theory based on the info given in the show, but I am pretty sure the idea is: the water kept the plants alive. They hinted on that fact that as long as the host does not die from the drowning, the water will "heal" and keep them alive. That's why Luna was able to survive 5 years just on that lunar water. If the host and the water assimilate, then it keeps the host "alive" type of deal.

in the room full of plants < the plants are the key word here. the plants were alive and growing, hence the water kept multiplying

I like how they showed them forming hypotheses on what the scientists tried to do and what Luna is, and only figuring it out by the end. Refreshing compared to many shows when they "figure out" the answers right away, and accept the first explanation that kind of fits :)

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.
