Two reasons people aren't showing much interest in this drama:1. It's Sci-fi and just a handful of kdrama fans…
It's not Sci-Fi. Star Trek was Sci-Fi. Warp drive and transporters that beam you anywhere don't exist.
WTSG is Science Fact. IVF and space stations exist right now, and we know how they work because it's real science. The writer got all the science wrong, and it would not have been hard to get it right. I'd be much more impressed with this show if they got the science part right. Then dial down the weird relationships and make the humor either more realistic or more consistently over the top. But get the science right.
im confused why they belive it is impossible for them to do the deed in the space when santi is doing that everyday…
The writer got so many basic science facts wrong. Given the budget of this show, it wouldn't have been hard to have a few doctors and scientists on the payroll to make sure the science was correct.
UPDATE. I've now watched about 6 episodes and I'm in love with S Orchestra and all the characters. I just wish ML would quit hitting FL. That's bugging me. But I guess it's true to the manga.
2nd update: I just finished the show and I loved it. Even my husband loved it, and he usually doesn't watch Japanese or Korean shows with me. It was nice to see that they nailed the ending. I have no way of watching the specials, but I'm happy with how the original show ended.
lol, sneaking to take some pictures on some dead man is WILD. lets just gulp all the plot
And the place was locked, and he was just laying in a casket. Why wasn't he put back in the freezer? And she had to undress him a bit to take those photos. That whole part was weird.
This just dropped on Netflix, and I think I kinda love it. The music is amazing.
The visual style copies the manga very closely. And each of the characters have a definite "Look."
I see some commenters saying the live action looks too much like anime. However, I don't think this show would have worked if they made it look realistic. Teachers hitting students. Men punching women. Old men creeping on women. Those scenes are all played for laughs by being very over the top. I confess I laughed at those parts. If those scenes were done realistically, it would be a complete turn off. Really gross. So I'm accepting the over the top acting and directing choices.
Oh, and the set design bugs me. I see this in a lot in TV shows. Their apartment doors are right next to each other. But if you go into the apartments, the front doors cannot possibly be right next to each other.
He really did. At one point in Mr. Plankton, he's walking around depressed wearing a black turtleneck, a khaki trench coat, and a bit of facial hair, and I was like, "DAMN, he got sexy all of a sudden!"
That's why I thought. Netflix translated the 3 mommies as "Aunties", so I assumed they were sisters. I guess they're just friends, and the term Auntie is used like when I lived in England. We called all our friends' mums "Auntie." When I moved to America, we called all our friends' moms "Mrs. Smith" so I assumed when Netflix translated "Auntie" that the 3 mommies were sisters, too.
So, I think the 3 mommies just softened up to Eve and they'll all be one happy family when it's over.
Hum. It definitely LOOKS like a manga come to life. And the acting is a bit over the top, but I assume it's accurately portraying how the manga was done.
I'm only one episode in, and I'm not sold on the show, but I'll give the second episode a try once it drops on Netflix. I don't think I care about the whole big story arc of avenging his father.
I am a little confused by a couple of things. If he's broke and can't pay his employees, how is he affording this HUGE office space. And his assistant is in medical school? Why is she not in class and studying 20 hours a day? How does she have time to run errands and hang around his office? And if she is in med school and needs money, why isn't she working part time in a medical office to gain experience and actually be paid? I'm overthinking this, I know.
1. Dong-A squirming when getting grilled by all his lovers.2. Dong-A getting splashed by Chief Kang's car. I was…
I thought the 3 mommies were the sisters of his mother?
UPDATE: Netflix is calling the 3 mommies "Aunties" so I thought they were sisters of Gong's mother. Someone tell me if the Korean is actually calling them 'Ajumma' or 'Ajumeoni' which would mean they are not related.
OOOOOO, that would make Eve and Gong first cousins. EWWWWWW!

It's Okay to Not Be Okay.
