Goodbye Earth

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.

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..

Do yourself a favor and spend your time watching something else - even if it's a movie you really can't stand. It'll still be better than this monstrosity.

This could have been a much better film and not a series. To stretch this out for 12 series when it would have been better edited and made into a 90 minute movie would have been a much better idea. If a series could be a word salad, this series would be it.

The premise and the first ten minutes of episode one is promising. After that - you'll find yourself skipping to the last ten minutes of the episode 12 - at which time you'll be thankful you didn't watch any episode in it's entirety.

As a big fan of Korean series and sci fi / dystopian genre, I was really exciting about this project but it turns out again as another mediocre Netflix project that no one needs to.

Story itself is quite flat as well as other aspects roles or just not being intriguing at all. I was waiting for any potential twist to be catches but nothing happened besides undeveloped poor love & family stories. I can't imagine more uninteresting example in a similar field.

Actors seems to be really nice but even them could bring a life to any character from a movie.

It's not a drama because drama requires emotional touch. No genre series would be the best description.
