I thought about giving this a 7.5 but I went with 8 in the end because I loved it up to episode 6 but it definitely got draggy and repetitive after that and also too preachy. I'd still recommend this to people because it was really fun at the start and the less good second half wasn't enough to sink it for me.

I knew Eve was getting pregnant from ep 1 (her name! the apple in the post credits sequence!) but they dragged it out until ep 15 with the most threadbare and ridiculous plot. Also! IRL female astronauts have to take pregnancy tests before going into space so more bad science

I'm pretty sure it's lost more money than any other drama. Most expensive drama ever and low ratings mean no chances to claw back the budget.

LMH is the center of the drama. His acting is fine, it's the writing that's garbage

The sfx are good too. This is a great example of how important writing is to a drama. Bad writing will sink absolutely everything else.

* Incoherent
* Propaganda

I'm enjoying the conversations, I dropped after episode 5 but the articles and online chatter have been fascinating. I think I'm also invested because I was so offended by the pro-natalist messaging that I'm enjoying seeing this go down in flames

The one thing that works for me in this drama are the space scenes, you can see the money and it was well spent

Unfortunately, they do have a problem because a lot of their value comes from the viewers they attract to a project. If LMH and GHJ's star power wasn't enough to bring people to this project, it means fewer projects for them to choose from and lower salaries for their next projects. There's also a lot of fear that LMH's upcoming film adaptation of the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint manhwa is going to be another flop given the poor reaction to the trailer - fewer than 679K views on the official YouTube channel after four days: https://youtu.be/YRIW33DftIM?si=YdRJNiyf3YCQsKWM

One of the wildest things about this drama is pretty much every character is morally bankrupt with no redemption arc. The entire space crew, *including the FL*, stood there and watched Kang Su take the fall for the morulas when they were all guilty of the same thing. Ryong also said nothing. The only character who maybe kinda sorta has a redemption arc is Kang Su because he didn't rat out anyone else when he went down and he sincerely loves and respects Go Eun. It's stunning how there's no one to root for.

She's one of my moots on Bluesky! But she ended up dropping because she couldn't take it anymore 🥲

Not just 2025, this drama is so bad that it has dragged down the entire industry with it. It's literally going to change what we see in the next few years. Production companies are going to make more mid-budget romances with actors who aren't big names and they're going to have fewer episodes. Whatever they can do to keep down costs.

Melting Me Softly had similar ratings but wasn't as expensive as WTSG

Gong Ryong totally deserves whatever he gets.

After all the pro-natalist messaging it would be bizarre if no one was pregnant or successful at birthing by the end of the show. Not the mice, not the SIL, not Eve. Seriously so weird.

💯💯💯 agree with you. The pro-natalist agenda is as subtle as a brick to the forehead. I say pro-natalist because these people are only "pro-life" when it comes to morulas, they aren't pro-women's lives.

In Ep. 13 tere is a weird conversation that Eve's bio mom has with Eve, when she goes to see if Eve was abandoned in a taxi (because we know the mom abandoned her baby in a taxi on Christmas Eve), and Eve tells her no, but then does a DNA test (using the mug mom was drinking from when they talked). But the weird bit is the mom saying something like she was resentful she got pregnant, she never felt like the baby's mom, she worked in a bar and her life was being ruined by her breast's leaking. Why would the writer make the bio mom say such terrible things?

ah thanks for the clarification!

Life advice: it's not romantic to register your marriage and present it to your partner as a surprise. That's stalker shit.

Kang Su's being treated like the villain. Meanwhile he didn't narc on any of those hypocrites when he could've taken them all down with him. Plus they had the nerve to be in the room when he was punished which was super weird, who lets coworkers into the room when someone is fired? But Oh Jung Se rises, always

It's still super weird tho. What's going on in the writer's head? They don't need to be that close even if blood isn't involved
