The Silent Sea (2021)

incredible- just incredible

Amazing, intense, incredible, let's just basically put every positive word on this review...I have seen very few k-dramas but must say this will def be one of my all-time favs. Without spoiling i must say this is the show where u say "ok last episode" but end up watching the entire series overnight. The acting is incredible, the music i love, basically everything is perfect. Very gory however for some viewers, but this show had so many things that kept adding onto the plot making it better and better. Just a little confusing as i wish they clarified a couple stuff, i hope they drop a season 2 but prob not. This was a great show, dont know if I'll enjoy again rewatching since i know what's going to happen, but for a first watch, def incredible. Rlly underrated wish this blew up like squid game.

Addicting Scifi Mystery

The Silent Sea was incredibly addicting. I watched the entire thing in two sittings, and if it wasn't so late at night when I first started I would have easily watched it all without getting up from my couch. I adore science fiction and I found the overall premise of The Silent Sea very unique to the genre. While some may feel the plot was too slow, I felt 8 episodes was an ideal length of time to develop the story, characters, and the atmosphere on the moon base. The cast was a solid 10/10, with Bae Doona and Gong Yoo delivering fantastic performances in the main roles of Doctor Song and Captain Han.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the first episode could be seen as a turnoff for some viewers due to the somewhat less than desirable special effects and some strange and awkward choices in the script/directing. However, I do encourage getting through the first episode as the rest of the show is a really outstanding piece of science fiction. I very much recommend this to anyone who loves a space thriller, or those who enjoyed solving a mystery along with the characters.

A SciFi beautifully done with enough realistic touch to make it scary believable.

A SciFi beautifully done with enough realistic touch to make it scary believable.

The reality is that the world would eventually die if we do nothing to take care of it, in this series, it's the lack of water..

Then enter the SciFi part, searching for solution and finding it on the face of the moon. The creator of the show did a really good job in showcasing human nature's innate sense of self preservation. The day to day challenge of doing what's morally acceptable, all in the name of the greater good..

The only thing lacking with this show is a bit love story, to add a bit heart or warmth to the show. It is a bit too dark, only a bit of hope was shown at the last few minutes of the show.

Reminds me of the 2013 "Gravity" film

In recent times there were only two space-related dramas that were made. Song Joong Ki's space sweepers film and this. Both of them are memorable and the production is excellent.

The story, production, directing, casting, acting (you name it), it's excellent. Absolutely a beautiful story and I WANT MORE!!!! I heard that there were bad reviews for this drama, BUT WHY??!! this is soo daamn good.

The story had me engaged until the very end. This drama kind of reminds me of the 2013 "Gravity" film. Of course, the storyline is different but the quality of the two is quite similar plus the vibe.

Anyway, This is something I recommend 100% to anyone willing to watch.

The Silent Sea

Mankind landed on moon in 1969.. and still many countries are sending Lunar Missions. One of the main reasons behind these expeditions is the search of Water on Moon.

The time is 2075.. water gas dried up on Earth. Humanity is suffering due to lack of water. Humans are divided into classes for Water distribution.

The Different Space Agencies have set up Stations on Moon and Mars to search for water. Here the story starts.

The Balhae Station was established to research Lunar Water. A terrible incident happened and all of the crew were dead.

After 5 years one team was sent there to retrieve the lunar water. They face the same incident. They also came into contact with LUNA, the only survivor of Balhae Incident.

Another team called RX tried to steal the Lunar Water also. Now will the te succesful or they will perish? To know the answer We have to see the drama.

The Performance of the Cast is amazing.. the VFX, the soundtrack is very good. The Natural Scenes of Moon is so beautifully depicted that it doesn't seem to be made artificially. All the episodes are great.

The Ending is an Open ending. They can return for another season to tell us how they will control Lunar Water and How LUNA helps them to do it.

O mar da tranquilidade

Não vou mentir, eu esperava mais the silent sea, o drama em surpreendeu como um todo já que a sinopse não fala muita coisa sobre o real problema e só assistindo a gente descobre que é a falta de água no mundo todo. Os atores entregaram tudo em seus personagens gostei bastante disso e achei a história bem envolvente. Saiu morrendo todo mundo que eu não achei que morreria muita gente e ainda bem que o Gong yoo ficou vivo, não aguentava mais ver ele morrer e ficar chorando. Acho que a Coreia gosta de fazer esses dramas mais curtos porém NUNCA dá um desfecho correto pra eles. Hellbound, round 6, sweet home e outros que são curtos e não se tem um final concreto sabe? Deveriam investir em fazer um drama curto com o final sem ponta solta. Mas no geral eu gostei bastante e fui bem surpreendida porém eu ainda esperava mais do drama

LUNA

Story:
This is as original as it gets, and relate that to one of earth's top 10 foreseen problem in the coming future.
never been thrilled in doubting when taking water ever again after this mini series. It covers humanity dark side after exhausting the earth natural resources. 60% is made of water, Does everyone if it even LUNA exist today? you have a lot of questions after the series and the story just focused on the one thing and keeps the audience in their seats while focusing on one plot. no other side stories, a sign of a very good movie.

Acting/Cast
Power House Cast

Music
Fits with the lunar effect of the scenes

Re-watch
It is very useful as a use case, we know this is a fiction however some fictional scripts came through over the years
example is FLU movie, the script was around 2004, however the world experienced flu like scenario after 16 years

Overall
One of the few very good story, script release in the past few years.

Amazing sci-fi series

I started watching this series because it kept appearing on the Netflix home; partly out of curiosity and partly because I didn't have other series to see, I started the first episode... I couldn't get away from the screen.
I really like both series and movies that deal with space, science fiction, mysteries, but no one has ever taken me so much. The story is very well written, I don't think I can find places where the story falls or becomes boring. The twists are very interesting and the characters are amazing, especially Han, one of the protagonists.
I find that the result is nothing short of exceptional, I really wish there was a sequel to find some characters but the story is over and also with a satisfying ending.
Highly recommended for all those passionate about the genre and who want to see something engaging.

this would've been much better as a movie

tbh this would've been much better as a movie

I heard that this was supposedly a movie but Netflix or idk who insisted it is made as a series instead. nevertheless, it has amazing casting, acting, and cinematography, bae doona + gong yoo (never thought I'd need these two in one screen) the CGI is pretty good, not amazing but also not terrible.

also, why does lee Joon always have to be a villain *sighs* but I agree he's perfect for the role + luna is so pretty and cute!!!

overall, for a Netflix kdrama show, this was pretty good, it has slow pacing but is not boring. So, if you are a Sci-fi lover and if you're okay w/slow burn dramas. then I'd say watch this show.

At the end of the day, it'll all comes down to personal preference whether you'll like it or not. and for me, I actually like it, not my favorite but I like it bcs it's so different from the other kdramas which is enough for me to get my interest to watch it.

really different

so, it's been a while since I've watched this drama but as far as i remember it was good but slow and left some gaps.

i had so many questions that weren't answered and at the end they left us with an open ending for a season 2, or only for our imagination lol ?

btw, i cried with some deaths and got apprehensive at some scenes cause the acting was on point! can't deny this.

the visuals were so good and the whole ideia of the drama too! i never saw a korean production like this

in resume, i would like a season 2 but i will probably take a while to finish if the story goes slowly like the season 1
