[Update below] What an unexpected treasure! Pure fantasy, but beautifully crafted. Characters you fall in love with, both flawed and innocent. The antithesis of an apocalyptic tale. Man still wreaks destruction yet in this movie nature recaptures the world. It is about hope. The central character is superbly cast and young Christian Covery wins our hearts. I highly recommend you get past any mental block you have against fantasy. This series is so good. I give this series an 8 (very good) out of 10. I hope Netflix renews it for other seasons, the season finale certainly gave us many paths to still walk down. [Fantasy Drama]

Season 3 was disappointing. Even Fantasy has to have some touch points to reality and this dystopian tale defied the limitations of their environment - no limit to energy, fuel, food. Maybe if we hadn’t had a COVID pandemic and saw, first hand, the impact on the supply chain of goods, this might have been overlooked. A ship that can navigate difficult passages without a crew. The last episode really crashes the credibility - the bad guys “following” the good guys through perils that were too dangerous for 3 let alone a gang of thugs blundering along. I was particularly off put by the forced “ethic” of the season. Real questions were asked but the answers were muddled and flawed. The acting was great. The cast has been solid through the series. They just needed better writing in this final kick at the can. I’d highly recommend the first two seasons if you like fantasy but the last season doesn’t add anything. I give the 3rd season a 6 (disappointing). I gave seasons 1 & 2 of this series an 8 (very imaginative) out of 10.

Suddenly my new-favorite-drama (not anymore:sob:) became shit. The last 2 episodes ruined everything... was so unfair, so unnecessary and no sense. It hurts.
During the whole show Jiho was kinda sincere about how she felt (not always, sometimes were so immature...) but now she's so cruel... how can you leave somebody for so long and came back like nothing happen?
Was that cliché really necessary? Why Koreans think about love as something unconditional and everlasting? You can leave me for years and I still love you? You can hurt me and nothing happen? There is not consequences? Is okay to hurt somebody just because "you love him"? Just because you "wanna know what you want"? You cannot just talk as human beings? As adults?
Those chapters weren't a good idea. They don't work, not with the history we saw the first 13 episodes. So unfair... I'm so sad.

This show have an important message for korean society, at the beginning feminism was clearly present... and it also was so funny. WAS SO STRONG WITH IT PRINCIPLES. SO CRITICAL BUT FUNNY AT THE SAME TIME. WHY YOU HAD TO RUINED IT?????? WHYYY

...

and somebody doesn't know how to use properly shows' soundtrack. You cannot play lalalala song during the most sadness scene, you f*ck1ng 1di0t.

I think I’ve fallen in love with Korean Romantic Dramas! This is the third I’ve watched this month and I’m looking for a fourth when I’m finished writing this review. Fortunately, Netflix has a great deal of them.

This series started off slow for me, mainly because the two main characters have dramatic character arcs and they start off in a very different place than they end up. Where they end up is predictable but the journey is nuanced and well written. The leads were well cast and well performed, you kind of gradually fall in love with each of them through their journey, not just to one another, but to themselves. In many ways this is an ensemble story, about a community where each have wonderfully well written, unique character arcs. The acting is very good. There are moments of loss that break even the hardest heart and moments of joy that sweep you up in the moment. The setting is spectacularly beautiful, really almost a character in itself. I started off giving the episodes a cautious 6 or 7, but the last 3 episodes are solid 10s. I give the whole series a 9 (superb story telling) out of 10. [Romantic Drama]
