The Korean Netflix adaptation of one of my favourite Japanese books called 終末のフール (shūmatsu no fūrū, roughly 'translate to fools in the end of times'). The book was about a collection of stories told from the perspectives of different residents of an apartment building in a world that's come to accept the fact that a planetoid is going to destroy the Earth in a few years. Some struggle to decide whether to have a child or not. Some question whether there's even a point going to school. Everyone has hard decisions to make but they're all oddly cool with the fact that their time on Earth is limited. They felt enlightened to me because I think most of us spend our days ignoring the finiteness of our lives.
On the other hand, the K-drama was a generic apocalypse survival show. Everyone just screaming and yelling. At least, that's how it started off as and I lost interest immediately. Even the English title was stupid—Goodbye Earth. Ugh.
