Addicting Scifi Mystery

The Silent Sea was incredibly addicting. I watched the entire thing in two sittings, and if it wasn't so late at night when I first started I would have easily watched it all without getting up from my couch. I adore science fiction and I found the overall premise of The Silent Sea very unique to the genre. While some may feel the plot was too slow, I felt 8 episodes was an ideal length of time to develop the story, characters, and the atmosphere on the moon base. The cast was a solid 10/10, with Bae Doona and Gong Yoo delivering fantastic performances in the main roles of Doctor Song and Captain Han.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the first episode could be seen as a turnoff for some viewers due to the somewhat less than desirable special effects and some strange and awkward choices in the script/directing. However, I do encourage getting through the first episode as the rest of the show is a really outstanding piece of science fiction. I very much recommend this to anyone who loves a space thriller, or those who enjoyed solving a mystery along with the characters.
