Ahn Eun-jin prepares for the final days in Goodbye Earth

by tccolb

The first teaser has been posted for Netflix’s dystopian sci-fi Goodbye Earth, where we follow our heroine Ahn Eun-jin (My Dearest) as humankind is served a notice of doom.

Opening the teaser on that fearful day, the population is alerted by the emergency alarm on their phones that an asteroid is on route to bring apocalypse and everyday life is thrown into shambles. As a now former middle school teacher, Jin Se-kyung (Ahn Eun-jin) joins the government initiative to look after the children and youth. But our heroine is at a loss for words when the young Kim Kang-hoon (Death’s Game) questions if her protective gestures are useful in these current circumstances.

But asteroid-aside, we learn from fellow student Kim Bo-min (The Silent Sea) and a steely-eyed Commander Kim Yoon-hye (Shooting Stars) that there dangerous characters roaming the streets who have been taking advantage of an upturned society. It’s enough to make Se-kyung grab a gun to protect herself, and we cut away before we can see the outcome.

Still, not everyone has gone the way of anarchy, and our heroine’s priority remains with her students in the final sequence. As the countdown speeds to zero, Se-kyung resolves to stay by her loved ones until the very end, and we close as the community makes the most of their tumultuous last days.

Also starring Jeon Sung-woo (The First Responders 2) and Yoo Ah-in (Hellbound) among others, production for Netflix’s Goodbye Earth has PD Kim Jin-min (My Name) at the helm with scripts penned by Jung Sung-joo (Heard It Through the Grapevine, Secret Love Affair). The novel adaptation will be dropping its 12 episodes on April 26.
