Thanks to its genre and star-studded cast, the series was highly anticipated by many and did perflorm well on Netflix, but the viewers' responses were split between flooded praise and heavy criticism.
To this, Gong Yoo said, "When I first received the script and started working on the series, I knew that some people would love it while others would hate it. Since it's a sci-fi, I expected the split would be even more extreme."
He continued, "Of course, there were parts that were lacking, but I think we made the best choices we could within the reality and class that we could achieve."
The actor added, "It's not that we were 'amazing', but I believe that we opened a new path for potential development. This is a meaningful first step for the Korean space sci-fi genre. Many people have different perspectives, but I think those diversity garners more attention to the drama, which is grateful."
