I really thought I was going to like this one, but as other people said, it doesn't have much and it's pretty darn slow. I've really become a big fan of almost everything from South Korea, but this one is really the exception. Not sure if I'm gonna be able to keep going.

I'm only two episodes in, but the way they have set up the story is really disjointed and sometimes confusing. They start you off somewhere around 300 days before the asteroid hits. Then it jumps to 201 days before it hits. But then it jumps back again without telling you that it had jumped back. So often you're not sure what part of the story arc you're watching.

Not much character development either. Episode one starts with a little girl living alone because your mother has disappeared. They make it clear. It's after the announcement about the asteroid. Then after the main title theme plays it jumps right into the story. One of the main characters is a junior high school teacher, and I was almost to the end of the second Episode before I realized the little girl at the beginning didn't grow up to become the junior high school teacher. And I still have no idea who this little girl is or why she's in the story. Don't think I've seen her again.

And It feels like this with all the characters. You really only get a very basic idea of who they are or how they fit together. The same thing applies to a lot of the situations that arise in the story arc. Something will happen, then they continue on with the show and you're not really sure what exactly happened, why it was important, and sometimes if it even got resolved.

Definitely a mess.

The premise of the story is quite interesting actually. You know you have about 300 days to live before the asteroid hits earth but instead of exploring how people plan to live out their lives or try to survive, they focus on child trafficking and seeking revenge on the traffickers...really? This is not what the audiences came to watch. U don't need an end of the world setting to focus on this very issue that could be told in any normal setting. What a missed opportunity.

Also, another typical man/father-hating netflix show. In one episode, we have a dad who is supposedly stupid and abusive towards his own daughter. Then another boy said "a good father is a nonexisting one" out of nowhere. Then a single mother with 2 kids.... cause netflix cannot allow to have any good strong protective male characters. Netflix, we can have strong female characters without trashing and dumbing down men. It's really getting old. I could even overlook this if the story was somewhat entertaining but it was NOT.

Goodbye Earth? Goodbye 12 hours of my life.

I thought this was about an astroid coming to destroy the earth but instead I'm currently watching random people in a church trying to figure out if it's an electrical fire or arson?

Now they are trying to save some chickens?

Now they are trying to save some kids from a brothel?

Now we are back to the chickens? What is going on. Please help me. There hasn't been one mention of the astroid in 2 episodes.

I'm currently stuck in episode 7 - knowing I have 5 more episodes to go and there is no astroid in sight. Will someone please send the astroid to end this misery.

I hope at least the chickens make it. It's the only thing keeping me going.

I didnt finished episode 1 cause the storylines and plot were all over the place. Its messy.. if this kdrama or major scenes of Yoo Ah In were not edited due his issue, it could have been so interesting and i think the story is beautiful.. and since this drama is showing internationally, i hope his role, which so important in the drama, were not deleted.. and as an international netflix viewer, i dont care of the scandal or any issues of actors acting in it as long as the story is beautifully delivered and the actors are great.. and yoo ah in is one of fave actors, i still watch his movies despite the issue and thats what NETFLIX should consider when producing dramas internationally.. we are not affected by their domestic issue.. because of this the drama was affected with your EDITING making the whole drama worse..

I was so pumped for this release since I am a big fan of dystopian titles and watch a lot of Korean series. The premise of the story is really appealing, and they cast a lot of good actors.

Sadly the whole series falls apart due to too many side stories and characters. I'm usually helped by understanding basic Korean, but in this case, it got me nowhere. I still felt confused about many things even in the first episode. On top of that, the series fails to create a dystopian environment and general doomsday vibe that I was wishing for. Everything is too nice and tidy considering it's the last days on earth.

They did create a very nice opening theme with a good soundtrack tho.
