The Earth arrives with massive crossover ambition and sky-high expectations. Episode 1 lays the groundwork with strong visuals, intriguing villains, and emotional flashbacks—but chemistry and execution still need time to grow. Here’s our honest, first-time viewer take on what worked, what didn’t, and why we’re still watching.

Runaway had all the makings of a sapphic masterpiece — a fresh horror concept, two T-pop icons, and a fandom ready to combust — but the execution turned a dream setup into a plot maze. From the rushed love triangle to the lullaby soundtrack and missing chemistry, the series never gave us anything real to root for. Miusic carried, the effects tried, but the story ultimately collapsed under its own confusion.
