An asteroid is on course to crash into Earth in 200 days and destroy the planet. The world soon learns of the news and falls in to confusion.

Jin Se-Kyung (Ahn Eun-Jin) works as a middle-school teacher in Woongchun City. She learns about the impending end of the world. She decides to quit her job and do volunteer work at a child and youth division in city hall. She struggles to save children in danger. Her boyfriend of many years is Ha Yun-Sang (Yoo Ah-In). He currently works as a researcher at a biotechnology research institute in the United States. After news of the end of the world is released, he flies back to South Korea to be with Jin Se-Kyung.

Woo Sung-Jae (Jeon Sung-Woo) is an assistant priest at a Catholic Church. The presiding priest at the church ran away after news broke out about the approaching asteroid. Woo Sung-Jae now takes care of the parishioners at the church.

Nay May 22 2024 1:00 pm This drama is so under appreciated. This is not your typical storyline. It hits different and should be rated as such. If you want to see couples barely kissing, tripping and falling into arms and the uncomfortable staring there after, this is not for you. This is a serious drama that will make you tear up and think about how you live your life. I highly recommend it. It was fantastic.

lolol May 17 2024 8:22 am love the storyline..but ending so boring..feel like scam,the ending boring..not recommended.

ana May 13 2024 2:13 am lots of people say this drama is boring and slow, its never an action or thriller drama in the first place, it is about human facing their slow coming death, its about their life, their sorrow, their strength, their acceptance for the end, to be hopeless, afraid but still courageous at a moment, how they still care for each other and keep their humanity, together till the end, its beautifull and touching, just imagine what would u do, if u knew u gonna die at the exact time, i think this drama is almost cover for all of what people would do if its really happen.

Cedar May 13 2024 2:11 am Kim Bo-min is very tomboy here lol. Nevertheless, I still love her and the other young actors such as Kim Kang-hoon, Kim Do-hye and Cho Si-yeon. They are the reason why I am still watching despite the bad storyline and boring plot.

mekd May 11 2024 12:41 am boredd and not worth to watch too sloww,,

mix and vent May 07 2024 6:42 am THIS IS SO BAD!!! WORST!!! not worth watching, the plot is boring, even asteroid hit never showed, so many plot holes.

Noni May 06 2024 7:00 pm I'm so glad they didn't cut Yoo Ah In's scenes. Although his character was pretty pointless, cutting his scenes because of personal scandal is stupid. I never understood why Korean producers did that.

Anyway, keeping Yoo Ah In's scenes is the only good thing I have to say about this massive waste of money and precious time. I want a refund!!!

Nadia May 06 2024 6:41 pm What… a… colossal… waste… of… time.

hugsandcookies May 06 2024 6:06 pm You might think this series is not all that you think it is (ie boring or slow) but it’s not, it is actually a good drama. How you meet each character, getting to know who they are and what they are dealing with, all knowing that an asteroid is about to hit earth. I’ve laughed and teared up abit and each episode will have you wondering about how it will all be for them. Where will Se-kyung and Yun-sang be (they both are so good together even though Se-kyung annoyed me at times). I sometimes wonder how the crooks have time to steal kids and traffic them ??‍♀️ even the army gets involved all with having no bullets and I-na is such a badass who also is dealing with her mum issues. The young priest and the nun. The teens (each one also have their issues with parents or just having one parent, and the little ones who have lost their mum). The old couple and many more that have made this series an interesting one to watch.

angella May 05 2024 3:41 am a little bit messy after they remove the main character but sekyung (eunjin) CARRY the whole show!! good job very proud of her!!!

Ryunami May 05 2024 1:54 am I'm glad I give this drama a try and watched it till the end. Aside from the degrading of Yoo Ah In's character into a supporting character, I still like the storyline of a normal secondary school teacher turn into a dark hero avenging her murdered students while making peace with the tragic fate waiting for her and the rest of the Koreans who didn't get the chance get out of the country.

The females characters in this drama; Se-kyung, In-a, Mi-ryeong, Gye-Hyang, Myung-Ok, Sister Chae, Young-Ji, the deputy mayor and the female doctor, they are strong together and they even protect the surviving children, some are orphans due to the town's riots.

Due to the drug controversy, Yoo Ah in is reduced into a supporting character but afraid not, he got as much screentime as the lead character Se-kyung, his onscreen love interest. Despite being wasted here, Yoo Ah in still shines in his character and shows his professionalism as a very talented actor.

The drama ends 10 days before the asteroid hits Korea. While I'm not happy coz In-a leave the town when she should stand arm in arm with Se-kyung facing the human trafficking syndicate, I hope the children and the teenagers survive and arrive safely. I hope Yun Sang manage to arrive on time to be with Se-kyung at the harbour before the syndicate gets to do their final transaction. I really hope we get to see a glimpse of what will happened to these important characters.

Samantha May 04 2024 8:48 pm It is SO boring. I was very disappointed since I was looking forward to it so muchhh!!!!!!! Actors are veterans but can’t act!!!

Kle May 04 2024 2:43 pm Worse kdrama ever, wasting time, tc jin character its annoying and the story line is rubbish

Mary May 04 2024 12:43 pm Don't mind hate comments, I just finished watching it and it's good ! It gave us idea on what will happen in the future when this kind of disaster will eventually come. If you watch it seriously you'll never regret it. I appreciate the characters of Ahn Eun-Jin and Kim Yoon-Hye, they portrayed it very well. Actually all the actors did too. It just they both have something that made this series effective. Of Course, Yoo Ah In's played a big role too, I love his acting, I just hope he can make more series. I'm very glad and thankful for creating this K-drama. It's worth watching!❤️❤️❤️

Mimi May 04 2024 6:45 am The worse kdrama i have ever watched. Boring, bad acting, and the worst end I wasted my time

Huhua May 03 2024 11:30 am Hm, i think this is one of the worst k drama i have watched.

Asteroid-5% Unnecessary scene-25% Corrupted priest-70%

The title should be demon priest.

Amy May 02 2024 9:48 am I throughly enjoyed this show , I don’t get the bad ratings, But understand that we have our own opinions. Superb cast and acting

IHU May 02 2024 2:12 am This is one of the worst dramas I have watched. The storyline is messy. There are too many characters. Super boring. The acting is the worst I have seen in a Korean drama. I fast-forwarded the majority of the drama. I had high hopes, but was left beyond disappointed with it.

gongjunim Apr 30 2024 10:08 pm i don't know why everyone is hating? im only halfway through so far, and it seems like the plot follows the lives of people almost a year before an asteroid hits. i don't know anything about the whole yoo ah in drama, but i must say his acting in this is INCREDIBLE. that one scene where he comes back home to his fiance and his face is quivering with the inability to express both happiness and sadness at the same time... just AMAZING!!!! yoo ah in, ji chang wook and jung hae in— three actors that speak with their eyes. they dont even have to say a word for you to know what they're feeling.

Cherlene Apr 30 2024 6:59 pm I like Kim yoon hye here. But the story line is boring. The ending was a disappointment for me. I hate Tc Jin Characters here. She is so annoying. It's good to see Yoo ah in here but...the drama is boring. Bye

Mike chad Apr 30 2024 6:37 pm This is by far the worst show I have watched this year. The people saying this show is great are delusional. The plot does not make sense at all. Trust me you will want to drop this show after the first episode. I really wish they did not edit out Yoo Ah In’s scenes because I’m sure it would have been different.

Kiki Apr 30 2024 11:45 am Did the asteroid actually hit coz i skipped to the end and still couldn't figure it out coz of how bad this was

taritari Apr 30 2024 12:57 am idk about others but I really love this drama, I enjoyed it so much!! worth the wait for me

Badkdrama Apr 30 2024 12:55 am This is bad kdrama... Or the novel also bad??? This is one of worst kdrama i've ever seen. And the ending??? Really??? Waste my time, it's shock me, soooo dissappointing...

E Apr 29 2024 6:48 pm I was excited for this show since I love apocalyptic, dystopian sci-fi stuff.. but this show is a real let-down, unfortunately. Confusing and boring.

LJ Apr 29 2024 10:56 am Not a single story, save for Yoo Ah In's Yun Sang flying into the sky and punching the asteroid off of its path, would have any positive effect on the series. In fact, any other random plot thread involving Yun Sang would have just ended up being yet another underdeveloped, nonsensical story to tell alongside the other couple of similarly shallow stories.

Fangirl Apr 29 2024 10:08 am So I watched this series and it was truly a disappointment.

First of all, I heard that Yoo ah in was supposed to be the main focus for this series but got himself in a drug scandal and had his scenes cut off. So the focus shifted to ah yoon Jin’s character. For me, that was the beginning point for when the story got dull. (No offense), but I think it would be more interesting focusing the story on the kids than a middle school teacher who poorly plans revenge for her students.

Secondly, the plot is all over the place. It was so badly edited. But I get it since I heard that they started filming in 2022 and yoo ah in’s drug scandal happened in October 2023. So that must’ve been a freaking headache for the production team, to change the entire plot /focus of the story in a few months time. Maybe that’s why the plot is just all over the place.

Thirdly, this was the slowest kdrama I have ever watched, Do you know what I said after watching ep 1, THAT WAS TOO LONG! Usually I don’t look at the time allocated in each episode but I found myself doing that in this series.

In conclusion, please director don’t put out a series if it was going to be rushed and badly made. Kdrama fans, stop spreading too much unnecessary hate as well. Like calm down, it’s not that serious. The world isn’t going to end if Koreans make one bad kdrama,

Belle Apr 29 2024 1:56 am One of the worst K-dramas, each episode contains too many plots, not connecting to each other, the pacing is too slow and I can say full of mess. The story feels like written by AI.. so bad, seriously

DC Apr 29 2024 12:14 am This series was a mess. And it has nothing to do with how much screentime Yoo Ah In ends up getting. Because he's actually still in it quite a lot. Even as much as Ahn Eun Jin.

Sam cea Apr 28 2024 9:39 pm Why is this so boring? It’s so dragging TBH

Soju Apr 28 2024 7:10 pm Why do I feel like this drama is all over the place. I am getting confused with timelines. I skipped to the last episode just to get over and done with it.

Matty Apr 28 2024 3:29 pm I don’t know where you guys are watching, but here in the USA Yoo Ha-In is in it until the very end. ?and I only watch it because of him!! ???

Ehhlo Apr 28 2024 10:18 am I hope yoo ah in is in season 2 if there is one, I really enjoyed this ! I cried so much

kimberly Apr 28 2024 2:00 am probably can find half of the happiness & vincenzo cast here lol but it’s a good series anyway! worth to watch!

Swifty Apr 28 2024 1:19 am is it faithfull to the book?

I am Apr 27 2024 9:28 pm I have been expecting this drama because of Yoo Ah in. Im done with epi 1 and in the mid of epi 2 but why do I feel bit bored? There are a lot of scenes that shows past then jump to the present that it confuses me. I sm trying to focus on each scene but its really not getting to the idea of what is happening. Then I stop, I'll try to get back watching as soon as I heard good remarks on tnis drama

jermal Apr 27 2024 9:13 am glad to see yoo ah in here ?

Rider Apr 27 2024 8:00 am This will be interesting. If ML Yoo was really erased because of his scandal - then the storyline has to fall on FL Ahn - who has shown she is a good actress - as well as the supporting actors - and the screenwriters and post production teams.

It is not uncommon for Kdramas to be finished just in time for airing, and judging from viewership ratings - changing the ending, or even extending or shortening the series. But to erase one whole main character right from the beginning? And after all the CGI?

Let's see how creative they can be.

An Apr 27 2024 6:54 am I was looking forward to this. After watching 2 episodes, I can say the series is boring. I decide to stop watching it.

PANDORA Apr 26 2024 3:34 pm Half the Vincenzo’s cast is here lol.

Jane Sy Apr 26 2024 8:26 am Why removed Yoo Ah-In as main cast and move to additinal cast only?

Chrisma Apr 26 2024 7:51 am They didnt cut yoo ah in scenes at all. He is literally shown and has a huge scene time.

Swifty Apr 26 2024 1:34 am aah just googled it. this time it is not on censorious netflix!

but the code of conduct for korean actors.

Swifty Apr 26 2024 1:32 am what did netflix butcher another show? cutting it? slicing and dicing it?

they did it with song of bandits

pxie Apr 22 2024 8:58 pm kinda sad that they remove yoo ah in scenes...feels like big loophole then. bye i dont want put high hopes on this drama

Ryunami Apr 15 2024 11:54 pm Do they cut all of Yoo Ah In's scenes? I don't think I want to watch this drama anymore.

Bimpo Apr 13 2024 9:15 pm Better not have cut Yoo Ah in scenes

Ara Apr 13 2024 6:44 am They have cut all Yoo Ah In scenes.

Haru Apr 13 2024 5:46 am There is Yoo Ah In name on the list, but I don't see his face on the trailer. Where is Yoo Ah In?

Gracekim Apr 12 2024 9:56 am i hope its Yoo Ah In..i will watch if its him.i miss him a lot.

seongwoo Sep 12 2023 5:42 pm Just hoping they will not cancelled this drama. As a fan of Jeon Seongwoo, I really looking forward to this drama because this is gonna be his first Netflix series. Pleaseee, it’s okay to postpone but please don’t cancel it T_T

Aimen Jul 23 2023 1:25 am I'm soooooo sad for our man Ah-In...and the drama will also be canceled ig

joana Jul 06 2023 10:30 pm I hope they still cast Yoo Ah In if it still possible. He is such a good actor tho. Still supporting and waiting for him despite what happened to him.❤️

eundin Jun 15 2023 12:41 pm Sad to know “Goodbye Earth” is being postponed to air due to recent issue involving the lead actor. I was really looking forward to it since it’s gonna be Eunjin’s first netflix original ㅠㅠ Hopefully the production team can settle it well, i don’t want all of the team’s hardwork being wasted like that. Goodluck and hope to watch it soon!

Cindy Jun 09 2023 3:28 am Are we still going to see this drama? ? Ahn Eunjin, we want to see you here pls ❤️

lunaloo Jun 02 2023 11:23 pm please keep the cast together... we will wait.

Lia Josberg Jan 26 2022 7:44 am Ahn Eun-jin has a thoroughly impressive resume. Been a fan since Strangers from Hell, Hospital Playlist and One and Only. This is another thing to look forward to.

Iamdumb Jan 13 2022 10:12 pm Finally Kim Yoon-Hye..So happy.
