I love this type of dystopia — seeing how humanity responds to unexplained disaster and following our few main leads trying not only to survive but also to change the world.

With that being said, I think this drama hits the first part almost perfectly and the second part not as much so.

The premise of this drama alone is so interesting and enough to get a 7 from me. I know there's been a lot of complaints about plotholes and the rules of the universe changing but I've been pretty lenient on those, since the drama addresses them directly by discussing how this was intentional. I feel as though this is going to be one of those shows where the world-building requires some sort of suspension of disbelief first, and once you get over that it'll probably make the viewing experience a lot more enjoyable.

The second, part, the characters, was unfortunately the part I had more trouble with. The characters that we followed were not necessarily likable and I kept questioning their decision-making. It didn't help that it seemed as though the subplot of each character ended right when it felt like it should've started there. We skipped over the most interesting arcs of our characters and revisited them after they were over. I appreciate the lack of plot armor and generosity of the body count, but it piles up like a huge mountain of lost potential.
