It's possible I'll lower your expectations enough to make it tolerable - I was very disappointed with it because I expected it to be good and waited so long.

There's a black guy, on earth, in mission control. That's the control center on earth. I'm giving you examples of other foreigners - I listed two. I'm not going to go back and pick it apart just to find the others - but if you skipped instead of watching in real time you shouldn't be commenting - you didn't watch it.

This is normal bad behaviour in K-drama, it's to wind you up, it reveals the character of the father and the family dynamic, it will come out later why he got it wrong, chose to believe what he did or was misled by a machiavellian party.

The head of mission control? The man called Santi? You didn't watch it.

No.

Yeah, I've got my own reasons for every score. I'm not going to share them with you. I also gave an ironic 10 to Beauty and Mr Romantic. Do you want to list all my scores or say something about this new space drama?

Yeah, that's not very good for such a costly production. What was western about it? The tone and the attitude. The cast could have been replaced with American actors and there would be no cultural changes needed, none at all, they were already made.

You are mistaken. Not in stating the obvious, anyone could do that... but in your numeracy: there were multiple foreign actors, you said there was only one. It's almost as if you didn't watch it and just looked up the MDL cast list.

There it is: touch grass. The narcissist's go-to phrase. If that's all you've got left, you had nothing to start with - not once have you put forward an argument. Space cadet.

I'm suspicious of the satellite spacesuit - has anyone ever heard of those, or are we being gaslighted? Only one was ever launched as a spacesuit... and it burnt up on re-entry. According to Wikipedia there have been stories written about a ghost in space, and of SuitSat becoming sentient... Maybe the original narrative of this drama had some sort of murder-mystery theme that infringed on copyrights and had to be canned - however, they had to keep the scene where the arm collides with the spacecraft, so they came up with SuitSat as something normal in space.

It's my last chance... err, since I dropped it?
I can't allow that turd-in-the-pool to float in front of my eyes and not call it out.

South Korea knew it was a turd too, 3%. Take Hyo-jin, Min-ho and the post-production cameos away, it would go down to less than 1%. We might see a slight increase next Saturday when word spreads about how tragically awful it is; that was a horrible start - except for the 5-minute backstory of Lee Min-ho heroically delivering babies, it brought a tear to my eye. Typical Netflix, thinks its entire audience has ADHD, maybe it does if the crap it churns out is actually successful.

It's aired 2 episodes, I've seen as much as you, and decided it's a turd.

You clearly didn't watch it.

Yes (I mean 'no'). It cost a fortune and Netflix stumped up most of it. They just couldn't leave it alone.

Agree. Probably something to do with Netflix. Looks like it's been audience tested in front of a bunch of dummies - maybe Netflix is throwing its weight around and interfering in artistic decisions. The whole cast looks uncomfortable and awkward, the 3 moms look awkward (one of whom is not a k-drama regular, a cheap hire?), ground control is very awkward, Park Jin-joo was shot separately, Jo Jung-suk shot separately and wearing too much lipstick (very cheaply made scenes), the space scenes were all awkward, it's got Netflix stamped all over it... hell, even the newborn baby called up its agent and said "get me outta here!!"
So not the writer's fault imo, probably 🤭

That photo of her weight looks deceptive. Is she the first woman on earth to make the scales lie? Her right foot appears not to be firmly planted, if she rested her hand on a table, conveniently out of shot, she could take 10Kg off easily - hence her weight's on the left leg.

I like her past works, I don't like this.

Yes, and we can see the clumsy re-editing that's taken place. I can't believe how long that stupid scene at the end of ep.2 went on for, with a bad cut to a group of colleagues at ground control awkwardly filmed as a post-production scene.

It does seem to be one of the factors behind the story... back in 2023 when they filmed it - but whilst this drama's been on hold, the birth rate increased in 2024 after a straight 7 year decline... Unfortunate timing. It's going to hit the floor again if couples watch this, they should have canned it, not only is it nonsense, it's not even relevant anymore.
