Flies, feelings and Zero gravity
This show is an ambitious blend of science fiction, drama, and absurdity—sometimes brilliant, other times baffling. The premise has potential: a space mission tackling groundbreaking experiments like flies mating in zero gravity, mouse surgeries, and human embryos developing to the morula stage. How they managed all this in five days is anyone’s guess—it took humanity decades to achieve a fraction of this!The $500 billion lottery win and sperm-egg fusion without microscope are the cherries on this over-the-top cake.All in a 5-day tourism package..
Moving on , For science enthusiasts, The concept of flies naturally mating in space for the first time could spark curiosity. But for others, waiting 20 minutes for this to happen might feel like a slog. The exaggerated timeline, while entertaining in its audacity, stretches believability to its breaking point.
The characters are a mixed bag. The FL is a rule-abiding nerd whose rigidity overshadows any warmth she might have brought to the role. The ML, played by Minho, feels miscast—not his fault, but the role doesn’t align with his usual charm. Park Hyung Sik might have been a better fit. The supporting cast brings their own share of chaos: alcoholic aunts, a control-obsessed conglomerate uncle, and a partner embroiled in infidelity. Their tangled personal lives often feel forced, overshadowing the core plot.
That said, the show does attempt to explore interesting themes. It delves into scientific curiosity, ethical dilemmas, and human emotions under extraordinary circumstances. If you can overlook the occasional (okay, frequent) logical leaps, there’s a quirky charm to its audacity.
As a longtime K-drama fan, I couldn’t help but notice the Netflix-isation of this show. The emotional depth and aesthetic simplicity that defined classic K-dramas are missing. Instead, we get forced alcoholism and a bizarrely out-of-place soft porn-esque scene in the first episode, which detracts from the narrative. This shift in tone may appeal to some but alienates traditional fans.
In summary, the show is bold and unique, though uneven in its storytelling. It’s worth a watch if you’re open to a mix of scientific curiosity and wild plot twists, but you’ll need to suspend disbelief and embrace the chaos. For fans of traditional K-dramas, this might not hit the same sweet spot, but it’s an interesting experiment nonetheless.
