The silent sea
Unfurl the writing for The Silent Sea, and beneath it all is a story highlighting the many facets of the human consciousness. Of course, it’s easy to absorb the K-Drama production, especially as it reels the audience in on the opening chapter, but it quickly becomes a study of human decision-making and our flaws, intrinsically linked to our emotions. And that’s a theme that strongly resonates with me; an emotionally driven sci-fi, and one that is based in space, is the perfect condition to tell a story about the connections between a community of people.
The series opens up in an intriguing but fractured way. Earth is struggling due to the lack of water resources. A person’s classification results in how much water access they get. Farming is getting destroyed, and tensions are high. But then the series brings in astrobiologist Song Jian, who Director Choi asks to carry out a mission on a moon research station with a well-skilled crew captained by Han Yunjae. The only objective is to retrieve an unknown sample within 24 hours and return it to Earth.
