A well paced space drama with lost of challenges for the characters. There were a few items in this that were immensely illogical which makes you wonder if the writers know much about science?

For example they have the characters walking in slow motion whenever they're out in the vacuum. Well, this is plain silly and doesn't happen in reality. Just look at real moon-walking footage. Where is the resistance in a vacuum?

And taking off their helmets in a facility where they know there could be undetectable bio-hazards, where the staff previously died of unknown causes and before they have checked the air for hazards. Much like the similar ridiculous scene in Prometheus where so called 'scientists' remove their helmets in a building on a new alien planet after they just arrived.

Apart from this the main story in quite fine. Do hire a science advisor in the future though :)

The Silent Sea is a pretty good effort at a SciFi thriller. Sure it has its moments of clumsiness, but it unfolds an interesting story.

Beyond the human drama aspect - where some of the inter character communication is a little strange perhaps for Western audiences - there's a good angle in the story that then develops into several layers.

I do get a bit tired of sci-fi that shows characters in endless corridors - when you pay so much per sq foot to build in space the last thing you'd do is waste so much space on corridors - but bad space station design isn't unique to this show - and plenty of aspects of the internals are also quite satisfyingly detailed.

All in all this is a good sci-fi show that's worth a look and persevering with - worth a 7.

The good : The story, it's pretty good, and it creates tension in a masterful way. The special effects are great.

The bad: It's a slow burn and a bit of a cliché. Conversations seem to be somewhat forced for character creation and at times seem out of context and significance.. The story sometimes loses momentum.

This show needs another season, because it leaves many unanswered questions and the story does not have a meaningful conclusion.

So... Despite these facts I still recommend this show, to SCI-Fi fans, it is better than many recent productions.

I was kind of excited when I first started watching this because it had a cool concept and the trailer looked good. And even though the visuals were stunning and the actors did an amazing job, it felt like something was missing. It's definitely a thriller but once the unknown was known, its momentum slowed down. And that ending was kind of anticlimactic, with some plot holes included.

Korean Drama "The Silent Sea" is a decent attempt to create a post-apocalyptic drama with loads of suspense and thriller factors.

And for sure, the drama keeps things edgy and suspenseful till the very last minute. The viewer is thrown straight away into the action, with the earth struggling to find water to support the needs of the population, and a scientist is forced to leave the planet. And there is a nudging feeling that something is off right up when the team lands on the moon and goes into the base. That feeling is maintained all throughout the story. In addition, the mystery that is formed and solved is well constructed, well presented, and perfectly paced. It gives small cheese bites throughout the episodes, and it concludes everything nicely in the final one.

However, the drama leaves a lot of things out. The condition of the earth and the dystopian current situation is not well explained and just given as a fact rather than something that needs more exploration. The characters are also the losers of the mystery-thriller focused story. There are some flashbacks that indicate some short of past and personalities, but other than those, the characters are left as blank ones that were acting on based on their initial introductions. The CGI, moreover, were bad and almost ruined the atmosphere of the drama at times.

On the other hand, the performances were top notch, as expected by top tier actors and actresses.

So, overall, 7.5 out of 10.

This eight part Korea science fiction series is set in a near future where events have led to almost total desertification of the Earth. Water is a treasured commodity. With this in the backdrop Captain Han Yun-Jae has been tasked with leading a mission to retrieve samples from an abandoned lunar base. Amongst the team is scientist Dr Song Ji-An. Dr Song's sister had been one of the base's staff that was lost in a 'radiation leak' five years previously. The mission, which was due to take twenty four hours, gets off to a bad start; a crash landing leaves the crew having to walk several miles on the moon with limited oxygen. Things don't get much better when they reach the station. It soon becomes clear that not everything they were told was true, there are plenty of hidden dangers, they have difficulty finding the samples and what they find appears to be dangerous; to make matters worse it would appear that they are not alone.

I thought this was a pretty solid series. It might not have been the most original but it delivered plenty of tension throughout. It is science fiction but there are also good horror elements such as what happens when people come in contact with the strange 'Luna water'. The characters were the sort one would expect in such a series; the leader who insists on sticking to the mission even after things go wrong; one trying to learn what happened to a family member; one constantly complaining and one who can't quite be trusted to mention just a few. The cast is solid; most obviously Bae Doona, who always seems to impress, as Dr Song. The effects are pretty good even if science is often ignored... for example I never though characters were operating in one sixth of Earth gravity. There are some nice surprises and ultimately I enjoyed the series so would recommend it to fans of the genre; just be prepared to suspend your disbelief.

These comments are based on watching the series in Korean with English subtitles.

I don't care about bad reviews. All I know, I loved it. I watched it within a day. People are claiming it doesn't make sense but a fictional drama doesn't need to make sense, I guess :3 I thought, I would watch the next episodes in next day as I started watching it 7pm but I watched it till it ends. I regret why I watch it! Now I have to wait til the next season comes ://

I am not a fan of sci-fi or space drama/thrillers but as a fan of S. Korean movies and TV series, I gave it a watch. Overall, it's slow-burning with a somber mood, different from other sci-fis of this kind giving out a realistic feel of their challenges, no aliens or creatures about but something more mysterious and deadly, with intriguing twist and turns and you have to watch all the episodes patiently to really experience the show. There is also a very important message - climate change and the effects on future generations like water shortages which can easily happen if not already. Some of the acting surprisingly was not up to par for me but maybe because this whole project was a complete new experience for all involved. I think, the show would have been better with fewer episodes but for a new director and first attempts at this kind of genre, I was really impressed and enjoyed the show.

However, I like to point out somethings based on the comments/reviews I have seen a lot lately (Squid Game, Hellbound, My Name, etc.):

1) There is so much comparing every recent S. Korean show that comes out to Squid Game. Even the reputable sites that review films/TV shows are doing it. It's ludicrous and at this point aggravating as if all recent S. Korean shows must somehow be like Squid Game to be worthy or that's all they have to offer!

2) I have seen some reviews that seem suspicious and generic whether rated high or low. Sadly, I have even seen few racist ones!! Not sure even any of these ratings were based on actually watching the shows??

3) There is always some comparing the shows from other countries to Hollywood ones as if that is the "ultimate standard". International shows have become very popular in recent years so they must be doing something right. Viewers these days, at least some, are looking for something really original, unpredictable and emotionally engaging and with natural acting and great character build up/storytelling (fast or slow-burning) which is offered more in international films and TV series than the Hollywood productions. You can find reviews/comments to that effect as well.

Anyways, I definitely recommend watching this show because it has a new approach to this type of genre. South Korean filmmaking can be very innovative and this too does not lack in some originality,

It's a story that doesn't really tell anything new. The show is nevertheless quite entertaining and in places really exciting. However, the story is not quite convincing, especially since there are some rough plot-holes and logic errors, and the ending is not really satisfying either. Some effects and also the set can't always convince. But since it was not a boring story, I can give 6 stars.

In similar line to other Korean drama this show is not only about a scientific extravaganza or a mere logical space thriller, but it captures the human emotions of loss and hope. A astrobiologist in search of her sister and a captain who found his daughter in a clone. A sheer urge to save dear earth. I am much surprised by the negative reviews as this show takes on a different route to a sci-fi dramma than generic. No wonder there are better fictions than this as a space thriller, but this show has not ventured into much of technical glitches, but straight towards playing with human emotions of the troup landing in the space station and going through survival phase. Twists and turns are good enough to get viewers hooked up to the last episode. A good watch for people looking for different content.

This year we didn't see much of new sci-fi shows. As a fan of kinda shows, I was really hungry for that. It hooked me but only because there is nothing else to watch. The show is watchable but plot itself is kinda mediocre as everything else here.

P. S. 10/10 reviews are fake as for most of the other NETFLIX shows.

Probably the most thirsty show on Netflix.

A new South Korean space-travel thriller on Netflix. The cast got many familiar faces, so I was pretty excited for this show.

Sadly I think this was a generic sci-fi with a lot of predictable plot points. The more I watched, the more I was sure of what the show was heading towards. I wasn't surprised much when certain twists got revealed. Even worse, some subplots felt unnecessary and also some visual scenes didn't create that much impact.

The characters were also generic. They all got backgrounds that I have seen countless times before. Even so I don't think they have enough for me to invest in their outcomes.

Overall, the show got a unique concept, but the execution was subpar. 5.5-6/10.

While The Silent Sea isn't a groundbreaking space thriller, I think it was very well done and a very entertaining watch. The moon renderings were gorgeous and realistic looking, and the story is interesting and pulls you in quickly. The cast is star-studded, with Gong Yoo at the helm in one of his most gorgeous looks yet, and most of the time he's just wearing a space suit! Acting is great across the board, the mystery of the lunar water is very cool, and the show set up for a great second season (please let us get a second season!) Personally found this to be very entertaining and a great binge watch!

This a good series . It will keep you entertained and that's it. It's actually better than the last movies of this genre by Hollywood and since Interstellar.

The pace: Thanks there are only 8 episodes. Dragging it to 12 or 16 will be too much boring. Though this could have been shorter like 5 episodes max.

Plot: the story isn't bad. It's interesting and original. If you are able to ignore the fact that people supposed to be smart have a limited IQ, you can spend a good time watching this.

Character development: the main characters' stories are visited at the beginning of all the episodes. This is a good idea. Only a few times, there will be flash back.

Overall, Silent Sea has some good ideas. It speaks of the current themes that affect our planet and what could happen in the future. But the rest (survival horror) is just things that are revisited again and again which makes the series too predictable.

I watched the series because of Gong Yoo and it did not dissappoint! Looking forward to season 2. I am curious what will happen on the next season it looks promising!

The first two episodes really hooked me up. But it went downhill from there.

I don't know much about Science but these people who are sent on a mission feels like they are NOT on a mission.

The scientist doesn't act like a scientist.

Don't they follow protocols? Don't they have protocols? They wander almost on their own, they keep secrets. It's as if, they went there to fail.

Everything from episode 3 until the end, I fast forwarded it because not every part of the episode is really not worth watching.

Kudos to the actors though. They made it believable and somewhat enjoyable. The concept of the series is nice though, that water will be gone in the future and space exploration is needed. But that's about it.

The background of each character DOES nothing to add to the story.

5 Stars rating for the superb acting and especially for Sochoon who helped create SO much water LOL.

Wow, why so many negative reviews?

Creative, original, great cast. I read several of the negative reviews, and I don't agree with any of them. Some didn't like the series because there were too many corridors. Hilarious.

I didn't like most of the supporting characters in the beginning, but the natural flow of character development worked really well.

It's a bit of a slow burn; however, the pace fit. A second season would be great.

Excellent work all around! Bravo!

Following their consecutive triumphs in a myriad of genres & styles in the recent past; Koreans have now finally decided to take the initiative into this fairly newer ground i.e. Sci-fi/Space. On a concept level, this was a terrific attempt, a fascinating idea indeed. If only the execution was able to correspond accordingly, this could have resulted in something else entirely!

The budget was sufficient as were the available resources. There were absolutely no problems whatsoever regarding how it looked and felt. The Cinematography, the Sound, the all-around production is nothing but a testimony to my aforesaid statement. Performances too satisfied the prerequisites! Albeit, the characterization leaves a much bigger room for improvement.

The same goes for the Screenplay as well. Which was, by and large, an uninteresting and uneventful affair. All thanks to its dismal pace; which should have had better consistency and nourishment. As you can probably tell by now, the primary issue isn't with the idea or the particular way it is conceptualized; it is more about the implementation, which failed to take advantage of its much broader potential in the end.

While, on one hand, I do praise the creators for their covetous and pragmatic intents; on the other hand, I don't see this getting much of a success. Let's just say, I fear, in the majority of cases, people's exact expectations wouldn't be met!
