More checking my brain at the coat check, episode 3:

Thanks!!!!!

Thank you! That was hilarious.

I still don't get commander Eve bringing a gun on board the spaceship. First, letting it float around the capsule. And then pulling the gun on the ML. Is she really going to fire that gun on the space station? What if she misses him or the bullet goes through him? One hole in the space station walls and all pressure is lost causing the bends, plus loss of oxygen. AND, if she does fire the gun, she's floating, so she'll be propelled backwards into the wall behind her at the speed of the bullet, probably knocking her out and injuring her. Wouldn't a taser have worked better if she wants to take someone out at close range on a space station? Obviously Chekov's Gun is going to be a big plot point later, but it's stupid.

Then the bringing "her last eggs" up in the ice cream container. I thought it was the husband who had the fertility problem, not the wife, Surely she has more eggs. Where are the husband's defective sperm anyway, since her husband is DEAD? Were they sent up earlier? Why weren't they both sent up together? None of this makes a lick of sense.

And weren't there supposed to be 80 mice on the space station? Isn't that what a news announcer said? Surely that wasn't the ONLY male mouse they sent up to space. And why wouldn't they send up the mate? And Eve got way too huggy after saving the mouse.

Brain check. I have my ticket. I'd like my brain back now, please.

This is definitely a "check your brain at the coat check" before you watch this show. I'm enjoying all the bonkers comedy, but damn this show is dumb.

Episode 1 and 2 thoughts:

People are taking this show way too seriously. It's a weirdo comedy, and I'm kinda enjoying it. I'm here for all the cheating shenanigans that are about to happen.

Ectoptic pregnancies happen all the time with regular couples. The doctor in the show probably had to remove or cauterize her fallopian tube to remove the embryo that was growing outside the womb. I can't remember the details, but there was a problem on her other side, too. That's why she's now sterile. Although she could always do IVF or hire a surrogate, so I don't understand what the deal is with her being totally sterile.

It depends on the couple. Sometimes the wife doesn't have eggs or a uterus due to cancer or some other disease, and she needs someone else to carry the baby. Sometimes the woman doesn't want to be pregnant because of other medical or work reasons. Sometimes it's a gay couple and 2 men need a woman to carry the baby, or 2 woman who need a sperm donor. There are many other reasons a surrogate is used. And sometimes both the egg and the sperm can be from people other than the original couple or the baby carrier.

Especially when her toes looked like a trussed up turkey for Thanksgiving after he finished sewing them up. Yuck.

Ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo is NOT in the uterus. It's an abnormal pregnancy. Both the mother and baby will often die long before the baby ever comes to term if the embryo is not removed / aborted. Show characters think "abortion" and think it's a bad thing, when it's necessary medical care in this case.

Surrogacy is when a woman's uterus is implanted with another couple's embryo. It's a legal agreement to carry another person's baby for them.

Two completely different things.

Nah, he looks 16 to me. But I'm 65. Everyone under 50 looks 16 to me. But damn, that man looks good in a suit.

Watched the first episode. Not what I expected. Quirky and funny. Lot's of "OH, it's that guy from that thing."

It's the first time I've seen Oh Jung Se play sexy. And Kim Joo Heon always gives me Robert Downey, Jr. vibes. Lee El always stands out. I feel like she should have a bigger part than what they give her.

"As I enter my 40s . . ."

WHAT?

Nah, if we had to suffer, so do you. ;) So much stuff went completely off the rails, that I'm not even sure I remember what happened. I was really enjoying the show until the last episode, and then it just quit being the same show. It was like it was suddenly written by somebody else.

I know. Me, too.

War correspondent is still a reporter, not an action hero.
Hostage negotiator is still a talker, not an action hero.
New anchor doesn't even stand up while he's talking. Still not an action hero.

I just find it funny.

How did the ML go from a desk job, where his job was to talk infront of reporters, to be an anti-rebel-rebel Rambo in a war zone in Argan Oil? WTF?

"Trade Mark". You see (TM) behind trademarked brand names to let you know they have been officially trademarked and cannot be stolen for fake merchandise. I was making a joke. The mole completely disappeared from the plot, and it's a shame.

-5 points for the ending.

I said it weeks ago, that if they did the "lovers must have one of them go halfway around the world and not call the other one for a year" trope, that I was OUT. It was only 6 months. But it's still a STOOOOPID trope that I see in way too many K-dramas.

What I wanted was to see all the bad guys get their comeuppances. And see HeeJoo and ML get married. I didn't want to see sex in a war zone. That was stupid. The sex part was fine, it was the war zone that was stupid. How did the ML go from a desk job, where his job was to talk infront of reporters, to be an anti-rebel-rebel Rambo in a war zone? WTF.

What I wanted was seeing ML discover THE MOLE (TM).

What I loved. In-A not being one of the bad guys, but having her sister's back!

What I hated was after all the time that passed, they'd bring up 406 dirty talk. That was just goofy and weird.

WHY CAN'T K-DRAMA'S NAIL THE ENDING?

I hate it when they don't nail the landing. I don't understand why they go off the rails.
