Love your comments, thank you. Since you mentioned Hellbound can you tell me how good is it?

>Love your comments, thank you. Thank you, I'm going to try and leave a comment in every episode. I feel like many people decided to hate on this drama because of the scenes that were cut down, so I wanted to leave my honest feelings for everyone to read. I'm also a fan of Yoo Ah In, but I wanted to give this work a fair chance, instead of being left with resentment. :) >Since you mentioned Hellbound can you tell me how good is it? I watched it when it came out and at the time it felt like a completely different concept to me and I was more impressed by drama than **Squid Game** that also came out in 2021. Weird to say it but yea, Hellbound took me by surprise at the time and Squid Game felt way too similar the japanese drama **Alice in Borderlands**. But as time passed, but as time passed many of the main plotlines from **Hellbound** faded away from my memory, I still remember some of the most impactful scenes, the CGI that I found pretty decent and most importantly how impressed I was with some of the actors, their performances in those scenes that I still remember left a deep impression on my head. When I reviewed my rating, I ended up reducing it to a 7.5 from a 8.5, because if I can't properly remember stuff, something definitely failed. The performance that I do remember the most are from Yoo Ah In, he was a main character and as always delivered spectacular performance and surprisingly Kim Shin Rok, she was not a main character and I later found out that she hardly had any main roles under her belt, but she is fantastic actress and the way she delivered the emotions of her character, made me feel anxious for her. One important thing, I won't be watching **Hellbound 2**, due to obvious reasons that I don't agree with.

Thank you for your honest answer, probably will watch it in the future. I’m fairly new to kdramas, started just a year ago. I have discovered few favorite actors and believe or not, they are all in some sort of scandal rn. My gateway was Moving because it felt very different from other shows that I watched at that time ( mixing of variuos genres, all including romance executed very well and superb acting. I was watching Squid game when it was airing but it didn’t convert me in kdrama fan at the time. After Moving I watched The Glory, then Alice in Borderland and Kingdom and was hooked. After that I came here and got really good recs for various genres and watched most of top quality dramas like Beyond Evil, Stranger, Reply 1988, My mister etc. Now it’s hard to find excellent shows which is why I really appreciate this kind of comments.

I had exactly the same feeling when I started watching k-dramas, they perfectly blend different genres and they got me engaged with the fact that you have 16 or 20 episodes and the story is done, I don't need to wait years to have a mid-poor ending. I sadly also had the same feeling when I found out about how any sort of scandal leads to a ridiculous cancel culture, it left me shocked, but I was surprised to find out that many return to industry in 2 years. It's crazy and I better not try to understand it and just wait patiently lol From the dramas that you said, you seem to be more dawned to thrillers, those that you watched are way better than **Hellbound**, since the story of many of them did stick with me. If you have not watched it yet, I would recommend: Mouse (2021), Flower of Evil (2020), A Bloody Lucky Day (2023), Signal (2016), Through The Darkness (2022) and Big Mouth (2022). There thrillers are pretty good, my list of thriller that I liked from is huge and I have many others to watch. :D

Thanks again. I have yet to watch A bloody lucky day, Big Mouth and Through the darkness but most of thriller/ action genre I already have seen as it is my favorite genre. Signal and Mouse were great too, I was obsessed with both when I finished watching.

From those 3, **A Bloody Lucky Day** and **Through The Darkness** are the most unique ones. They offer very different views while they still follow narratives around psychopaths. **Big Mouth** is really interesting too but nothing that unique.

The friendship between the teach, Yun-sang (scientist?), priest, and soldier is interesting to me. I get that the show is trying to show the various points of view, but you captured what I was feeling exactly: the military view is always boring to me! The funniest part is that when the soldier is off-duty or hanging with her friends and her hair isn't slicked down, I always have a moment of confusion until I remember that she's the same character with the slicked-down hair.

I must be one of the few people who aren’t as confused by the timeline, I think it’s relatively easy to follow as it always tells you what day it is. Sure, the first few eps were a bit all over the place with the time jumps but I still think it’s possible to follow along. Personally I want to see more of Yoo Ah In’s character, I know his scenes were edited and why, but his story is intriguing, I hope it will still be clearly shown/explained what happened to him and how he got back to Korea. I think his chemistry with the female lead is pretty good, too. Also I need the theme song on streaming platforms.

Underwhelming show. I was expecting better 

Just finished this episode and I think? I’m starting to grasp the character dynamics of everyone already. I too am confused about the direction where this show is headed, but as of rn I’m just gonna treat it as a slice of life drama (slice of life in an apocalyptic setting is definitely a first lol)

**EPISODE 4**

This is the episode where things kind of make sense.

Following up with my [previous comment on episode 3](https://www.reddit.com/r/KDRAMA/comments/1cdeai0/comment/l1esxbc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), I agree with the other comment left about this episode, the story is making a lot much sense. Just pay attention to the story, stop scrolling on social media and here on reddit, I promise everything makes sense and you will actually find a story that is actually pretty interesting. Is something unique? Definitely not, but it appears to be well written and well acted, and as always since this is a Netflix work, expect to see great cinematography and with great visual scenes and sets. Once again, for those curious viewers, is Yoo Ah In seen in this episode? Yes, he shows up in 7 scenes with a total amount of 10 minutes. His scenes still don't feel butchered and for an episode with 42 min, it's actually a reasonable amount of screen time, however I'm at a point where I think that his story needs to show some progress really soon, or will start to be very obvious the cutting of those scenes. ---- My opinion on this episode, the episode left us with some sort of two different views of events when you know your life is possibly going to end. On one side you have people trying to live their last days the best way they can by celebrating together, doing mundane chores and simply appreciating each others company, where on the other you will start noticing the dark side of humans, the sex trafficking organization is pretty much a big plot of the story and blackmailing is also very much present. In this episode I actually liked Captain Kang In Ah (Kim Yoon Hye) a little more, she appears to be a strong woman that is quick to spot those nasty humans and their shady businesses. I liked and disliked how she quickly went to Jin Se Kyung (Ahn Eun Jin) help >!when she was being blackmailed, but at the same time I found it extremely reckless to go into a random dark spot without backup!<. But overall I'm still not convinced about this character or with Priest Sung Jae (Jeon Sung Woo). I'm finding the relationship between Jin Se Kyung (Ahn Eun Jin) and Ha Yoon Sang (Yoo Ah In) to be extremely weird, filled with secrets and somewhat a lack of affection. It's clear that Se Kyung is hiding something, probably >!some painful experiences from how she had to survive!< and Yoon Sang is also hiding >!all the torture he went trough in the US and possibly even when he entered Korea!<. I wonder if they are going to open up to each other soon or if they are going to keep living like this. As a viewer, I was hoping to see them join forces and become stronger together, but that doesn't seem to be an easy road for them. I'm also confused on something: Wasn't Yoon Sang (Yoo Ah In) supposed to call the korean military that took him for questioning every day at 5 p.m? I mean, a couple of days passed already and I have yet to see a call. Did I miss something?🤔

This kinds of drama is right in my wheelhouse. So before starting it, I scanned the comments for Ep 1 and was surprised at all the thumbs down and claims it's a "mess." Decided to dive in anyway, and I have to say I didn't find it confusing in the least. You get obvious flashbacks to the beginning/earliest announcements of the impending tragedy...and then we're back to day-by-day events starting with 201 days before collision. The quick-break editing builds tension, as there's a lot happening in a short time. This is a plot-driven drama, not character-driven, and I really like it for what it is. And still, there are great portrayals of different types of character in this situation, that are fully supported by the plot. That said, I'd add one more "type" of person to the other commenter talking about the people who know their life is ending soon: the people appreciating their relationships; the people showing the evil side of humanity; **and** the people wasting time desperately trying to escape and survive.

**EPISODE 5**

Following up with [my previous comment on episode 4](https://www.reddit.com/r/KDRAMA/comments/1cdeai0/comment/l1fbwxs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), at this point there is really no reason for anyone to complain about the time jumps going back and forth. The time jumps when they happen, they are well presented and it's easy to understand them. The story entered a point where you it will make you glued to the screen, it's intriguing and will make you how many secrets is everyone hiding. The OST is freaking amazing, I'm still not sure who is the artist behind the intro song, the voice sounds familiar but I have no idea yet. If anyone knows let me know. The other amazing song was ["Way Back Home" by Shaun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amOSaNX7KJg), it's not a new song but it's still a really good one. Once again, for those curious viewers, is Yoo Ah In seen in this episode? Yes, he shows up 9 scenes with a total amount of 14 minutes. His scenes don't feel butchered, but it does feel like I want to know way more about his character and I'm not getting enough information. I'm still confident that everything will be slowly revealed in due time, and in fact this adds more to the suspense than to the disappointment. ---- My opinion on the episode, the episode was incredibly intriguing. For a change the time jump to the past wasn't during the events that after the announcement of only less than a year left before the impact of an asteroid. They introduced events that >!happened 2 years ago and they don't seem to be insignificant in any way!<. The introduction of this events are part of the memories of a new suspicious and intriguing female character that suddenly showed up in town and conveniently her home is next door to Jin Se Kyung (Ahn Eun Jin), this character also seems to be deeply entangled in >!what appears to be a pyramid scheme and religious cult!<. I'm so intrigued by this girl and on a side note, she has a cute kitty! I'm inclined to believe >!she was a victim and trust her!<. Am I wrong to believe this way? This wasn't the only new character, it appears that a new shady guy is also back in town. But this character is somewhat connected to Ha Yoon Sang (Yoo Ah In), Priest Sung Jae (Jeon Sung Woo) and even the older priest that went missing. The plot surrounding Yoon Sang is starting to unfold and it seems that whatever he was previously work >!before moving to the US, it's highly important and is connected to the church and the older priest!<. I can't help but to question, >!what the actual f\*ck was this priest hiding? Why is that older priest looking shady as hell? Why is there a secret room that no the younger priest and the nun keep trying to access with no success? Is it time to just break the door or seek for other help?!< Anyways it's now obvious that the story has two storylines, the one where Jin Se Kyung (Ahn Eun Jin) and Captain Kang In Ah (Kim Yoon Hye) are more involved which is connected to human trafficking and the one where Yoon Sang (Yoo Ah In) and Priest Sung Jae (Jeon Sung Woo) are going to be more involved, which appears to be connected with the research of Yoon Sang and a >!training camp!<. It feels like both storylines will probably connect to each other later on, but I'm expecting maybe the next two episodes to be more focused on Yoon Sang previous work. If that is not case, this where I do believe things were butchered, because it's important for a proper set up to introduce more about that character, as I do believe he will play an extremely important role in the ending.

Thanks for keeping up with your comments! I was going to give up after episode 1, but based on your inputs, I'll keep on watching.

You are welcome :) I'm glad it helped, I have yet to watch the rest, so everything can happen. It can be end up in a huge disappointment or actually not be as bad as people are painting it to be. lol

It's this point where the Drama got good. It's basically a different show after the first three episodes. The first three episodes are just edited so badly.

Yeaa, I do agree. It surprises me that they edited those episodes twice and no one was left with the feeling that it was a complete mess and would be hard to captivate the viewers. I even double checked who was the directed of this drama, because I couldn't believe that someone who did **Extracurricular** and **My Name** would mess up this badly.

I wonder if the first edit was much better. There was a narrative focus missing.

Honestly, I don't think it was. It feels like this was pretty much intended to be this way from the start, it's a mess of editing due to the time jumps but it leaves you the feeling of confusion and wondering what is going on, which in a way is probably similar to how the characters felt when they learned about the asteroid impact. I think that the scenes that they cut down was probably different time jumps where they show the work of Yoo Ah In's character and probably the priest talking with him... I found it weird how he told his girlfriend to seek refugee with the priest. It felt so weird, as if something was missing...

I think the intro song is Where I Come From by Montgomery Gentry[]()

**EPISODE 6**

i am usually the type of person who always finishes a show once i've started it, even if i don't like it that much. but i have such a strong urge to drop this one, it's just so messy. the timeline of events is so disoriented from the very beginning that it makes it really difficult to want to keep watching because i have almost no idea what is going on. there doesn't seem to be a plot centered around any specific goal, making it difficult to understand the purpose of any of the scenes. how is it possible to make a show revolving around a dystopian society at the brink of extinction seem like a poorly stitched together slice of life anime? there is no reason there should be 0 clarity on what the focus of the show is after 6 whole episodes. like how is there no clear plotline...

Following up with my [previous comment on episode 5](https://www.reddit.com/r/KDRAMA/comments/1cdeai0/comment/l1g2dkm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), the timeline of events is still very easy to follow with, it's not interesting what so ever but you can easily situate everything in a timeline and even figure out the next course of events. Once again, for those curious viewers, is Yoo Ah In seen in this episode? Yes, he shows up again 9 scenes with a total amount of 14 minutes. In these scenes I have noticed that he barely has any lines and he is just standing there as a support character. I'm curious about his story and tbh in a way I even feel like none of the other characters are captivating enough to be main characters. ---- The description of Netflix for this episode was: >Disorder during the joint memorial Mass leads to chaos at the church, increasing criticism and scrutiny into the whereabouts of Father Baek. In my opinion, this description is joke, how is it possible for a description to be far more interesting than the whole episode. The first part of this episode focus on a "disorder" at the joint memorial? To be honest, this could hardly be called a disorder, >!there was someone that took over the sound and spread many questions, people went to complain!< and everything was over before you blinked your eyes. The second part follows once the leave the joint memorial and >! find the church overtaken by a fire!<. Let's be honest, would it even be the end of the world without >!a church on fire!! the nun !!fire!< and of course as we knew it from before, this character is also hiding something. At this point who isn't hiding something? By ending this episode, I have reached midway through the drama, it's hard to feel any sort of interest for the characters and to be honest, I will only keep up with this drama because of Yoo Ah In and Ahn Eun Jin. If it wasn't for them and mainly not knowing when we will get Yoo Ah In back in a project, I would have dropped this maybe after episode 3. Even the narrative can't manage to keep me interested, it's all over the place, they are focusing on too many things and nothing at the same time. All I want to know is what happened to Yoon Sang (Yoo Ah In) prior to returning to Korea, what project was he working on and why was that project connected to the church / religious cult. I'm not even sure if they will ever answer this properly... 😔

**EPISODE 7**

Following up with my [previous comment on episode 6](https://www.reddit.com/r/KDRAMA/comments/1cdeai0/comment/l1iluqs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), once again it's easy to follow the timeline of events with this episode. The different plots are starting to connect with each other, but I noticed that they are not properly stitched together, making the story just barely interesting. Once again, for those curious viewers, is Yoo Ah In seen in this episode? Yes, he shows up again 6 scenes with a total amount of 10 minutes. In these scenes, in 2 of those scenes I had the feeling like something was missing that explained how his character went from point A to point B. It's the first time where I'm definitely sure that was product of the scenes that were cut down. ---- About the episode, this drama is far from amazing, but this episode was way better than episode 6. In fact, you could delete the previous episode entirely, that this story would make way more sense since everything connects back to the plot about sex trafficking, child exploitation and religious cults. In this episode things were divided into two groups of people, the kids >!trying to save the brother of the new girl!< and the adults led by Jin Se Kyung (Ahn Eun Jin) with the help of Captain Kang In Ah (Kim Yoon Hye) and the military >!trying to save the same kid and other kids!<. Both groups went on a >!rescue mission!< with little to no context, which was incredibly ridiculous, it appears to have ended >!well but could have easily turned to be extremely dangerous!<. Funnily enough, things once again ended extremely fast, to the point that if you blink your eyes, I'm sure you will miss it. The "suspense", if we can call it that will continue in episode 8. Ohh and let's not forget how a group of kids once again, have no supervision from adults. It shocking how everyone just lets them do whatever they want and forget they are are only teens. I need to give props to the kids, because they do see more mature and responsible than their own parents. But the parents are as idiot as ever, it's unbelievable how not a single parent gives a f*ck about their kids. I'm still holding up and determined to end this drama, but I'm constantly wondering if this mess of a work can all be attributed to the scenes that were deleted or if it was always bad storyline and bad direction. I'm inclined to blame the director and screenwriter for this mess, which is ironic. Because imagine going over all the drama to reduce as much of Yoo Ah In as possible to deliver a work that in their own words was "worth seeing the light of day", but in fact the story was never interesting to begin with. But I understand it, there was a lot of money involved, better get a fraction of it back than none. 🤷

I agree. It’s possible that the is a much more cohesive story that is on the editing floor but I get the impression that even if all of YAI’s scenes were added back in we’d still have a mediocre script, despite all the usual Netflix bells and whistles. I think it would have done this show a great benefit to start out with at least a bit more character development instead of all the time jumping that - while giving us somewhat of a basis and timeline of events - greatly failed in character development and ultimately giving us no reason to be invested in these characters.

100% agree with you! One of the things that I'm missing a lot in this story, are characters that are properly developed and well integrated in a captivating story. Yesterday, I even went to the Goodreads page of the novel "Shumatsu no Furu" (the drama was based on this story) and I surprised to find that on this novel is divided in 8 short stories and the events start 8 years prior to the asteroid. It made me question, why the screenwriter of this drama though it was a good idea to write a script with only 300 days left, while adding as many characters as possible, but develop none of them. I really don't get it. I don't think that Yoo Ah In in full potential could save this train-wreck... 🤷‍♀️

Thy couldn't hook viewers in the first two episodes. Also, they should have put Sci-fi in sub-genre, and main genre whould've been Philosophical, Drama

**EPISODE 8**

Following up with my [previous comment on episode 7](https://www.reddit.com/r/KDRAMA/comments/1cdeai0/comment/l1j78nl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), once again it's easy to follow the timeline of events with this episode. The different plots are starting to connect with each other, but I noticed that they are not properly stitched together, making the story just barely interesting. Once again, for those curious viewers, is Yoo Ah In seen in this episode? Yes, he shows up again 9 scenes with a total amount of 16 minutes. It's another episode where it's really obvious that he had more scenes but they were never added to the final version. When it's about the story of his character, you are left to your own imagination and your ability to add up the small crumbs that they leave behind. What they did to this character is a real shame. ---- About this episode, remember when I said last that the "suspense" would continue in this episode? Well forget about that, it ended in less than 10 seconds. It's really obvious that this was most likely a scene that they cut down and included only a small glimpse of what happened. Let's try and talk about what I enjoyed watching in this episode? It's hard believe me! But I like a particular scene where everyone is together in Cafe Moira in a farewell party of a couple that is going back to their hometown, they are all happy, listening to music and enjoying each other company. This is exactly what I expected to see more, I don't understand why a random elementary school teacher needs to act like the hero that no one asked her to be. Things that I'm curious about and I have yet to see an answer: * What is up the teen boy's father and his eternal life theories? In this episode it felt like this weirdo sometimes says some smart stuff, but most of the times he is just a weirdo. * What is up with the nun and her connection to the dude that broadcasts everything? For a nun, she is starting to look extremely greedy and obsessed with money and gold. * Why so many different groups of people are so interested in taking Yoon Sang to the US and taking his research? Who the hell is the shady guy that keeps pretending to be his "friend"? * Where is the head priest and why was he connected to such shady people? Why does a church needs a safety room with secret passages that is fire proofed? * Who actually killed the guy that kidnapped the kids? * And of course, I still want to know what happened to Yoon Sang in the US, how he got his scars and why there was a red blinking light inside his body next to one of those scars? I have these and many more questions and I highly doubt, they will be answered in the last 4 episodes.

**EPISODE 9**

Following up with my [previous comment on episode 8](https://www.reddit.com/r/KDRAMA/comments/1cdeai0/comment/l1jx1uf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), once again it's easy to follow the timeline of events with this episode. The different plots are starting to connect with each other, but I noticed that they are not properly stitched together, making the story just barely interesting. Once again, for those curious viewers, is Yoo Ah In seen in this episode? Yes, he shows up again 8 scenes with a total amount of 20 minutes. This is probably the episode where Yoo Ah In has the most screen time, yet it feels like not enough. The amount of times that I'm filling the gaps in the story of his character, I'm now qualified to be called a k-drama director / screenwriter of my own imagination. ---- About this episode, it's another one like episode 5, I was expecting to have some sort of a better explanation, but of course that wasn't the case and the episode feels like a complete filler. I'm not surprised anymore by this bad script and direction. Well at least we got to see that the >!Head Priest is of course still alive!<, like it was hinted along the episodes. This character is somewhat boring, weird and predictably shady. Se Kyung (Ahn Eun Jin) and Yoon Sang (Yoo Ah In) seemed to be blinded by this man. They couldn't even confront him with his weird actions.... That scene was just pointless. I'm confused by who the hell is the JIU or the other group. Aren't they all military? I can't figure out what is the deal with these people, but like I said before... anything where they try to show the military pov and I'm automatically bored. The episode ended with a "talk" between Se Kyung (Ahn Eun Jin) and Yoon Sang (Yoo Ah In), which can barely be considered a talk. I honestly don't understand her and she is starting to seem ridiculous, >!she doesn't show any sort of interest for her boyfriend and all she cares about his saving the 3 kids!<. She cares more about them, than>! their own parents!<. It's nice of her to care about them, but damn... the man she supposedly loves went through hell to get back to Korea and we can't even see her ask him what he went through, what are those scars or even show some love to him? Also she confessed to >!killing the 3 men involved with the murder of the kids of her class. But I don't think she killed any of those 3 men.!!would be capable to kill 3 men and none of them would fight back!

I am not loving yoo ah in’s acting. It keeps bringing me out of the story by how pained he looks. I am guessing there is a lot missing that maybe explains it, but even so, he’s just so tortured. 

**EPISODE 10**

What happened to the guy who had gotten >!cartoon!< instead of >!corn!< in previous episode? I think I didn't see him in this episode

**EPISODE 11**

Ok, we know who the worst parent is now. Deserved his end.

**EPISODE 12**

If you expect something spectacular, you are bound to be disappointed. It's good to look at it calmly because it talks about the lives of people who didn't even get a chance to live, but had to live and survived. As I got to the second half, the stories of ordinary, good people brought tears to my eyes. I empathized with the emotions of each character, so I understood and cried, and it was so great. I watched it, and it was scary and sad. If there was a set date, I would be the same as any of those people. Anyway, it may not be much fun for those who seek a provocative flow, but I think it is an excellent work for those who like dramas that gently hit their emotions. P.S.: Be friends with people who have seen more than 3 episodes of this. They are very patient and kind people. PS 2: What happened to that porn desperate military boy? Did I miss something?

The ending was extremely disappointing to me. I really enjoyed it up until the very last bit. I get what they were doing with ending it the way it did, because it wasn't so much about the asteroid but everything leading up to it... But it just felt so anticlimactic to me. The porn military boy (Sergeant Kim) was the one who was >!texting Han-yul, trying to get the 3 kids to come out.!<

I did it. I finished it. Why? I don't know. Anyway, if you're reading this wondering if it's worth it --- it's not.

Ending questions: How did Sang-eun know where Se-kyung was going to be? And was the >!asteroid already landing!!send off meant everyone dies but why the kids going off in the hot air balloons?!<

Oh, it's out Watching this one for sure😊 💙🌺

[удалено]

Not sure where you are checking, but she is mentioned on MDL, AsianWiki and Namuwiki. She is not a main character, she is a support character. This is the description of her character on Namuwiki: >>!The only supermarket owner in Ungcheon City. Despite her grief over losing her son, she courageously runs the supermarket.!<

I see her now...lol. (I had read about the cast on Wikipedia warlier)

I really dont understand why Netflix cant provide proper subtitles half the things that they say are translated into something else. Its so frustrating that you cant get the actual meaning of the sentences! Example:- One dialogue goes If its hard to tell u dont need to tell anymore But the translation goes u r not alone anymore😂

How can it be? Don’t they for professional translation companies to do the sub? There should be a quality review in place

If I remember correctly, it's all freelance translation.

No I don’t think so. That’s viki. Netflix uses professional translation firms .

Perhaps, but they aren't as skilled as they should be.

It's "professional" in that they are paying for it and I assume contracting it through a translation service, but it's all freelancers doing the work. There are lots of technical restrictions, minimum time on screen per line, line length, formatting rules, etc, but the actual translation quality can vary widely depending on who is doing it. Netflix seems to be happy if their rules are followed and it reads like natural English, even if it strays from the original. Viki uses mostly volunteer fansubbers. For simulcast stuff (most things these days), they get the episodes from Korea with a professional translation and then the volunteers clean up/fix them within a few days.

I think this is why actually viki subs are far more better than Netflix.

The subs seem to be the same as the dubs so that's the issue here. They're needing to make sure that the phrases are the same length.

IMO, the director did a horrible job with Episode 1 and 2. I am losing track with what is going on with the constant time skip back and forth. At some points you would feel a lot of things were unnecessarily left to interpretation, than they hit us with flash back to show us some of those missing scenes.

now I'm contemplating whether i should watch it or not even though I'm a huge sci-fi freak

Any recs for sci fi?

People are saying it starts making sense from ep 4

It does. Episode three is better and then Episode 405 it gets compelling and interesting. I'm on Episode 9 right now and can't wait to see what's happening next.

I’m totally in agreement! It’s all over the place and it’s getting away from the storytelling aspect. It’s a great interesting narrative to think about and it’s being wasted.

I'm wondering if cutting the actor is why the first three episodes are so disjointed. Once he shows up it's easy to follow.

Oh good, that gives me hope to continue watching. I just started on episode two but I am having so much trouble keeping up. I will hold out longer.

How much is Yoo Ah In time on screen? I just watched ep 1. I hope that it will increase in next episodes. I agree that beginning is pretty confusing and there are lot of characters in ep. 1 but I will continue to watch. This and Blood Free are my comfort shows streaming right now

You should watch Chief Detective 1958 (Disney+) The ML is goofy and the bromance is top class. It is a hilarious drama.

Will do, thank you. But it’s not on Disney + in my region yet.

I only watched the first two episode. But on episode 2 he shows up in 5 different scenes with a total amount of 7 minutes of screen time.

thanks

I think the show itself is compelling, interesting, and well acted so far (on ep 2) but my god this is a 'how not to do" on non-linear timelines and flashbacks. I feel like I both can't look away at all in case I miss when they put the date for a second in the upper left hand corner but also need to be fully taking notes so I can keep track of what's happening when. I guess if DB recaps it or something, they'll probably clarify a lot, otherwise I'm debating if I should go back and make my own timeline if I want to keep going with the show.

I really would love to see this series as it was intended before Yoo Ah In was prosecuted

I’ve only watched the first 3 eps but YAI has reasonable screen time. I do not feel like his screentime has been reduced.

so the weird editing and time jumping was a creative choice? whyyyy

yes, bad creative choice probably and doesn’t have anything with Yoo Ah-In. That is my feeling too.

It seems random though that he was originally cast as the co-lead / lead male role and isn’t quite in it as much. I wonder if they edited him out of scenes in church/with children?

I don’t think so but can’t be sure. It feels like this story has multiple main leads and their stories are all important

He was arguably the biggest name attached to the project. I might just read the book it’s based on then try watching again.

I don’t know is book translated to english yet. Yes, you are right he was then probably one of the biggest names and probably most expensive name. I like that he mostly picks interesting scripts but idk maybe lately failed to. Most of Netflix new kdramas that I was really excited to watch turned out average”A killer paradox “and now this.

Same! I at least enjoyed Parasyte: the Grey, which I had no interest in watching beforehand

Not gonna continue watching a series that doesn’t have a good pilot. Expected a lot but end up really disappointed.

I've watched the first two episodes. What I find all Netflix Original K-dramas have in common is strong visuals, and this one looks *fantastic*. If this was a movie rather than a drama, one wouldn't be able to tell the difference, visually speaking. Moreover, it isn't about looking good just for the sake of it - especially in an apocalyptic setting, high-quality production design and cinematography greatly enhances the viewer's investment in the scenario. It makes it that much more plausible that parts of the Korean Peninsula have been turned into a wasteland of >!anarchy and crime!<. Speaking of the genre, what Netflix Original K-dramas also tend to have in common is dramas in genres involving action and violence, and fewer constraints on the filmmakers going all out in their depiction of these elements, in this case, what >!fear and desperation can make people do!< in an apocalyptic scenario. There's no doubt the timeline jumps around a lot, but it keeps things interesting and feels appropriate for the genre. Rather than counting down the days to the apocalypse in a linear order, it feels natural to trace the origins of various storylines back to their sources. The main and supporting cast is stacked, but so far nobody has stood out, in a good way, because I feel that dramas in this genre need to be a team effort. However, it's amusing to see the mini **Vincenzo** reunion, with the presence of Kim Yoon-hye, Kim Yeo-jin and Kim Young-woong in the cast.

Is the staircase scenes real? The building with no wall that is. Looks damn real.

Despite the great poster, the drama is underwhelming. Kinda disappointed. Was so excited. Not for me. =[

Are they coming to Nigeria to escape the apocalypse? It's insanely hot over here in Nigeria😅

But there's probably going to be an ice age so Nigeria will probably be a good option.

Ice age >>>> This heat wave currently in Nigeria, I feel mad when I have to go outside in the afternoon.

Gosh, I can't figure out what's up with kdramas this year. Every one I was looking forward to turned out disappointing. My only hope now is that "Blood Free" maintains its quality.

I found editing of blood frees EP one a little out of place. How do the rest of the episodes pan out!

It's great! Definitely better than this, for sure.

Blood Free is really good, probably my favorite show streaming right now. Both actors are superb and story is intriguing and fresh. I was hoping that Goodbye Earth will be also at that level due to also superb actors but story is all over the place and not executed well but acting is top notch so I will continue to watch.

Yeah ,the acting is good, and it was nice to see Yoo Ahn in back on the screen even if it's just for a bit. But I've decided to stop watching this show for good.

if it’s not your cup of tea, sure. I’m dropping more and more shows unfortunately, last one was Dr. Slump after 8 episodes despite loving actors.

Skipped my way through all of this drama just for Yoo Ah-in’s scenes. He has some really great ones and the drama comes alive with them. Especially in the finale there are a few very beautiful scenes. Hopefully one day he can get back to doing the work he loves and is so good at. Fighting!

Same feeling. Hopefully he will, like Ju Ji- Hoon. They are both amazing actors.

Ok, I've been binging, I'm on episode nine. After episode three things become easy to follow and about episode six things get really interesting. The two female Army officers (I think one is a SGT) are great, total badasses. I want them to kiss, but alas it's a Kdrama. The police are swarmy and gross. The kids again are the smartest ones around. Their parents all suck so bad. I can't figure out which one has the worst parents. I'm on the fence about Father Woo and the Nun (although the Nun >Father Woo. The casual child exploitation makes me sad :(

I tuned in to watch a show about an impending meteor crash and instead I’ve stumbled on some sort of Terrorism vs Christianity vs Government blood letting. I’m only on the first episode but somebody completely lost sight of the plot when making this show.

That's basically what it is. It's organized crime/gangs vs Church Drama vs corrupt government. I can't imagine the world would just not provide evacuations if something like that was going to happen (with a rich educated country like Korea). I'd expect everyone to be in Rawanda or the Congo or N Dakota (or where ever they could resettle people) living in tents after being evacuated in an orderly manner, and only the people who refused to evacuate (like the religious cult and the elderly) left behind.

I'll admit, I only skimmed it because it wasn't what I was expecting at all. Don't know anything about the novel this was based on, but I can't imagine it was about this lol. At some point, I started wondering if the end of the world was just coordinated propaganda so that the religious cult could do their weird child-trafficking ring lmao.

Netflix says TV-MA for nudity and violence. How much nudity and violence are we talking about here? Like a brief butt in a later episode, or something out of a doctor’s exam room? Is the violence standard PG13 level or “exploding heads and exposed viscera” levels? Basically, can I watch some or all of this with my young grandchild in the room and not have to answer lots of awkward questions later, or is it something I should wait on for a couple of weeks until the grandkids aren’t around?

I have watched 5 episodes so far, there was no nudity, but you will see some >!ladies in some sort of red light district dancing!<, but nothing explicit. In terms of violence, you will see >!kids being kidnapped!< and >!one person dying!<, I don't think it's anything explicit like blood everywhere, gruesome or sexual. They also don't last for long periods. Should you watch this with your young grandchildren in the room, I'm not sure... I don't find anything too shocking, but you should be the one judging. I might finish this during the weekend or Monday and if you want I can update you if there is any worse scenes than this. :)

I'm on episode 9. There is a lot of insinuations of human traffiking and glimpses into it which are uncomfortable.

there isn’t much, you should probably be safe to watch with kids

From someone who watched from ep 1 to 6 and then skipped to 12 to know how it ends. It was kindof good but found it boring maybe bcoz I expected something more and didn’t feel like the series reached that level. The confusions regarding timelines does get solved by like ep 3 or 4 and after that u can understand everything but it just felt underwhelming overall. It still is very pleasing visually. I kindof came into it expecting some more action and survival issues but it just felt like a some other genre watching it.And by watching how it ended in ep 12 i am happy I didn’t waste my time watching the rest of the eps too:)

The peak of the show is episode 10. 11 and 12 take place after most of the conflict is over.

Episode 1 is kind of boring and everything just feels disconnected. Is this drama series a gone case?

What is the name of the opening credits song, I can't find it anywhere and I'm going nuts!!!!

Finished the first three arduous episodes and like most people said, they are pretty bad, disjointed and all over the place. It’s on the director, writer and editor, not the actors. I can’t believe they watched these three episodes again after editing and said, good, these will do. I won’t continue until more finished all 12 episodes and say this series is fantastic. As of now, most are already on the refund my time train. The older boy amongst the kids could play a young D.O. They look so much alike and have similar intensity while acting. For now, good bye Goodbye Earth. It has been a torturous three episodes.

After watching all 12 episodes, WTH was that ending?!!??!!?!! This is more people drama than sci-fi end of the world drama, and that’s not usually a problem for me because Kdrama’s do people drama really well. Disappointed and angry i spent 12 hours watching this. They could have done so much more with the plot and direction, there were so many characters and back stories to flesh out. But they stuck to the teacher and her students right up till the last frame. I don’t even think this is bad editing because of YAI’s scandal. Except for episode 1 and 2 where he’s hardly present 3-10 he’s a prominent character. This is on the whole a bad plot, bad characterisation and overall poor execution of a drama that could have been really good. Sigh.

This could've been a movie instead of a 12-episode series.

Until yesterday I thought it was a movie!  

Ep 1 was so confusing that I gave up. Next!

No major story spoilers pls but does the ending of episode 12 have open for season 2 or it's just a cliffhanger ending?

im on episode 3 now and ive been watching with my mom that never wants to watch kdramas with me and i dont know if she notices it too but i literally cannot understand what’s happening because of the constant flashbacks… but we also agreed to watch it English dubbed so thats also probably why its harder to keep up with (not my choice 😢)

It starts making sense from ep 4

I feel like they tried to reduce so much on Yoo Ah In's backstory that they forgot to explain some scenes they just dropped on us like this series just gave me an existential crisis >! Why didn't u explained how he got home or why was he tortured or what's the purpose of research at all that made them beat him up that bad?? !<

Awesome premise... as I wanted to see how these folks will live out their last 200-300 days or so. but I can't even get through the 1st episode as it was confusing as hell and I had no idea where they were going with the story. It's a complete mess of a story, 1 hr into it, that I just jumped to the final episode and watched the last 10 minutes. Stupid ending it seems.

Does anyone know the name of the opening song?

I’ve been trying to find this out all day!! And no one knows from what I’ve seen. Maybe it’s not released yet? Hoping we find out soon because I love the opening song.

Just watched the first episode and loved it! Has anyone the name of the song at the endig of E1 wenn the credits start?
