New teaser released for Netflix sci-fi drama The Silent Sea
by tineybeanie
Netflix drama The Silent Sea (previously known as Sea of Tranquility), featuring Gong Yoo (Squid Game) and Bae Doo-na (Kingdom 2, Forest of Secrets 2), has released a poster, new stills, and a promo teaser. The drama is set in the dystopian future year of 2075 when earth has exhausted its natural resource supply, and an elite team is dispatched to the moon. The caption on the poster reads: “Go to the abandoned lunar base.”
Bae Doo-na plays astrobiologist Song Ji-ahn, and Gong Yoo plays Han Yoon-jae, the leader of the elite exploratory team. Lee Joon (My Father is Strange) plays the head engineer, and Kim Sun-young (Homemade Love Story) plays the team’s medic. Lee Moo-saeng (A Couple’s World) and Lee Sung-wook (365: Repeat the Year) round out the cast as the security lead and spaceship conductor, respectively.
The teaser begins with Bae Doo-na on the ground, while alarms flash red in the background. It looks like circuitry on the spaceship has shorted due to a crash, and they’re all alone on the moon. In a voiceover, it’s announced that they’re heading to the Balhae Research Station. Gong Yoo says that it’s like any other mission, and that they just need to follow orders. The scene then cuts to exploration of the dark, abandoned research station.
In voiceover, Bae Doo-na’s says: “The chance that we’ll all survive this is only 10%.” Gong Yoo asks whether she thinks she’ll find anything inside, and Bae Doo-na replies that she hopes to find the answer. Action shots paired with dramatic music suggest urgency, and Bae Doo-na closes out the teaser asking, “What in the world happened here?”
Sci-fi drama The Silent Sea will be released on Netflix on December 24.

"The teaser begins with Bae Doo-na" -- sorry, nothing more needed here, like the phrases "free money" or "mint chip ice cream."

Also, I am disappointed that more than 50 years in the future, Korea's space program is still using Michelin Man type enviro-suits...does not speak well to techno advancements.
Lastly, "Korea's space program" -- does that make this drama sci-fi or fantasy? (JK, I swear...)

Skin tights space suits like those being designed in the US would have been more appropriate, and interesting.

50 years from now the earth's coastal cities will have started the process of slowly disappearing under the ocean's surface. I don't think we have to worry about anybody having moon bases

Sure, why not.
I don't know what Tang is but I'm sure it would go down a treat with our raspberry mojito.

@leetennant Tang is an orange powder you add to water to make a very tangy and sugary orangeish tasting drink.

A Tang mojito with fresh raspberries in it would definitely taste like space.

@leetennant
Tang had an association with the early US space program.

I have to admit, the lit-from-within helmets made me giggle because they’re like every nighttime car scene in kdrama where the interior lights are on. We know it’s only so we can see the actors but it still tickles me, as if anyone drives around with the lights on inside their car.

The real question is - did Netflix pay for a 1/6 g shower scene?
Or any low g six at all?
As for ppl, whole new world of zero g and low g coffee paraphernalia, and may be new mixes, special energy drinks, etc…I mean, Someone managed to sell zero g pens, and Tang…

No but what about all the space suit PPL? Somebody must have made those. Or will we get NASA PPL? Because when has there ever been a space program drama/movie in any country that doesn't mention NASA a 100 times.

PPL = Product PLacement
Basically products or brands they use in the show to promote them. Characters eating at Subway, for example..probably not the case with this drama, though xD

Depends on how big this abandoned lunar base was? For example, you’d find contractor operated fast food joints in all sorts of out of the way military bases…if not a Subway, all sorts of packaged food PPL would be possible…a ramen scene, for example, or even better, a ramen pack with water and a heating pack all preassembled could be launched?

We tested a "self heating" rice dish with the idea of using it while camping. It got hot enough to boil water and steam the pre-cooked rice. Think Maxim will be all over it, just for this drama.

I pretty much had given up on this, the picture floated around Netflix forever and nothing happening.
it is pretty funny somehow to see Gong Yoo on the moon.
