The plot of Goodbye Earth feels scattered and unfinished. As I just found out, the problem is that many scenes were cut because of one actor. But he is still in the drama, so what’s the point? This only ruined the drama. I like it, but I definitely wouldn’t call it the best. If all the scenes had been kept, it might have been in my top favorites.
Correct. What excites you the most while watching?
This is very similar to my feelings. I just relax while watching this drama. The funny moments with the group or the dramatic situations related to their problems in space—all of this brings out emotions, and that’s why I love this story. Another discovery for me was that the romantic storyline doesn’t bother me at all, even though in most dramas, I usually have that feeling. Here, it’s actually the opposite—I’m genuinely interested in how their relationship will develop further. I think this drama is truly unique. Maybe not for others, but for me, it’s something special.
At first, I was disappointed when I saw romance listed as a genre because I realized that the main focus would likely be on relationships rather than the scientific aspect, meaning it wouldn't be a serious sci-fi drama like Black Knight. But then I let go of those expectations and stopped demanding more from the series. I think people would enjoy this drama much more if they didn’t take it too seriously, didn’t try to find deep philosophy in every moment, and simply treated it as an entertaining experience meant to bring enjoyment.
I hadn’t really thought much about what the idea of creating life in space truly means, but after analyzing it, I realized that there are two different ways to look at it.
The first perspective, which is the most talked about. The fact that the main character goes to space to create new life can seem like a forced idea or even put pressure on those who don’t want or are unable to have children. In this sense, it can genuinely be perceived as promoting childbirth, especially in South Korea, where such topics spark heated debates. The more I thought about it, the more I understood why it caused outrage.
The second perspective, which I personally embraced. This storyline can also be seen as a story of human determination and the ability to pursue one's dreams. If having a child is so important to someone that they are willing to overcome gravity, technological limitations, and all possible risks to achieve this goal—even in space—then it speaks to the strength of the human spirit. From this angle, the idea is not something to be condemned but rather respected.
Ultimately, it all depends on how you look at it—for some, it’s a controversial idea, while for others, it’s an inspiring one.
Is the problem with this type of drama that people want more action. But here, they literally showed what would happen if such a situation occurred—humanity would destroy itself before the asteroid even hits. "Goodbye Earth" illustrates that in the face of an inevitable catastrophe, society does not unite but instead plunges into chaos, panic, and brutality. This feels more realistic than the usual stories of heroic survival. Maybe this approach doesn’t appeal to everyone, as many expect spectacular events, while this drama focuses on the realistic downfall of society.
Haven't watched this and don't ever plan to. Judging from these comments and the rating, it seems like Lee Min…
Well, I want to say that many people here don’t actually watch the drama but only come to say something negative and lower the rating. But that’s up to you. The drama is not that bad. A rating doesn’t always mean that a drama is bad, and even if it is, it might still be something you enjoy. Many dramas have an average rating but still find their audience
The first part of the drama captivates with a dynamic storyline filled with battles and intriguing conflicts. Eunseom particularly stood out as a character who made the drama more dynamic and emotionally intense. His charisma and active involvement in the events kept me on edge. Unfortunately, his role was significantly reduced in the second part, which was somewhat disappointing (I'm not complaining too much because I understand that playing two characters for such a long time would have been difficult for the actor). On the other hand, the increased focus on Saya delighted me because his intriguing and unconventional nature evoked sympathy and interest. I always found it hard to predict his next move, unlike other characters, which added intrigue to the drama. As for Tanya... She irritated me from the very beginning with her behavior. Her presence in the plot often slowed down the storyline, creating a sense that the story was moving monotonously without the proper pace. Despite her key role in the plot, it was hard for me to feel sympathy or support for her. Overall, the story remains interesting, but the political intrigue in the second part became excessive and started to feel exhausting. I really hope for a return to a more dynamic plot with balanced tension, unexpected twists, and captivating characters. I look forward to the third part, hoping it will find this balance and offer more memorable moments.
Why do you answer a question with a question? I'm genuinely curious: why do people who don't even watch this drama actively follow it just to see its ratings drop?
