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.
