Interesting, romantic drama, great actors

Hands down, My Love from the Star is still the best drama I’ve ever watched. Personally, I really like storys which are a bit supernatural, especially with abilities like mind reading etc. This drama was so touching, well written and well acted, that I could watch it countless times. I am so thrilled by the acting, especially of the main lead Kim Soo-hyun. You wouldn’t doubt his sincerity while crying only a second, it basically breaks your heart too. I’ve never seen an actor who conveys such deep feelings while crying. Other than that, the other actors also are really amazing and all the characters were acted out so good. The story was absolutely well written, interesting, romantic, funny and - of course, sad too. Despite I’m not a fan of long-suffering, sad stories, this drama is absolutely worth it! Just make sure you watch it till the very end :) I can recommend it 100 %!

I feel like an alien for giving such low ratings, but I can't help it. out of all the 10's mine is a 6. I couldn't give more than this.
This is that bad review that you are looking for, i dropped this drama after 15 episode, it became so boring I dozed off between the episodes. I did all my chores that I had been procrastinating while watching this drama.
They dragged this drama so much, it was frustrating gosh.
Tried hard for the characters to love each other. AND I personally dislike the character of Kim woo hyun. He was such a pain in butt. his acting was ridiculous, very bald and no expression. I couldn't connect with him but jun ji hyun as always was excellent. she is amazing.
Second lead syndrome is strong here.
watch it if you like Kim woo hyun, but if you don't then give this drama a try at your own risk.
it gets tedious after some time.

The time when all the people in my country were so crazy about this drama and I am the few of the people who didn't get interested in this drama but I tried to watched this after liking Park Hae Jin but the outcome before and now didn't change. I tried to finished this for the sake of Park Hae Jin but sorry I can't.

Reason why I didn't liked it
1.typical kdrama romcom
2.no character development
3.the story didn't have solid development
4.100% lovestory

IT'S BETTER IF
The plot its about celebrity I Hoped they added some backstory about being a celebrity-the hardship, struggle, painful, up and down of being a celebrity.
I also want to see the celebrity and manager relationship the struggle they experience after a failure.

Honestly I didn't liked the character of the male lead..he looked stiff and too perfect to me that why I didn't find him interesting character.hehe..

On paper the rough concept sounds really good. An alien that is left behind by his research expedition because he became embroiled in the affairs of humans and misses his ride. He's stuck on earth for 400 years until his people return due to the fact that they use an asteroid/comet to cover up their visit. He becomes world weary and no longer wants to help mankind, but to simply wait for the time he can return. That is until the final 3 months in which love walks into his life.

Sounds good. Until suddenly the science fiction is all over the place. Such as Do Min Joon's powers. So time moves slower on his planet and it's fast on earth. Meaning he never ages and can freeze time. Not only that he can teleport, levitate things with his mind (so telekinesis), has the abilities to electrically kill and start things, and so on. Psychically he's faster (I'm assuming do to his time abilities), stronger, better eye sight, and his hearing is so amazing he can even hear through sound proof walls and pin point someone through an entire city to long distances. Pin point one person by sound. The whole thing is based on superior aliens who can teleport not being able to duplicate their powers and create their own teleportation device. “BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!” They don't want to alert humans to them, so they have to do it stealthy. That's just touching the tip of the sci/fi and basic questions here. Yes, plot holes.

Enter the female lead who immediately rubbed me the wrong way. She's kind of clueless (read brainless), loud and obnoxious. So on. On paper You Who Came From the Stars sounds good and then as I began to watch it started to play out in a way that I would normally dislike. Cold male lead, annoying female, and silly world building to support it's sci-fi theme that is just a romance story. The first episode I could understand why the fans did liketh. Then as I kept watching my episode ratings increased. Because the writer kept doing what I have wanted many drama writers to do: grow their characters.

It didn't hurt that the humor is amazing and Jeon Ji Hyeon is truly an amazing comedic actress. As the writing and Jeon Ji Hyeon were able to take hold of Song Yi and develop her I soon went from being annoyed to feeling really fond of her. Like Do Min Joon I soon fell in love with her. Song Yi may be clueless about somethings, clearly studies were not her strong point, but she has heart. She doesn't lie to herself she realizes that she's a diva and spoiled, but that's who she is why should she hide! If you're her person, and there's few of them, she is loyal. Soon her inner depths are revealed and I appreciate it anytime that a well developed female lead graces the screen.

Do Min Joon develops out of his cold male lead stereotype. As flashbacks into the past show us some of his experiences of why he no longer feels compelled to help the common man. Despite his words he still has helped. His best friend Jang Young Mok is someone he got involved with despite his big words about staying out of the affairs of people and just wait to return to his Star. Yong Mok and Min Joon's relationship is so wonderful and I love that this show has hidden depths of emotion and relationships. Do Min Joon is pretty funny himself and I urge everyone to give this a chance. Especially wait to get a kick out of the drunken flashback . . . oh gosh! While Do Min Joon originally dislikes Song Yi and only is truly drawn to her because she was the girl . . . that looked like someone from the past, he is the one that enters the love zone first. Or starts to at least crush first. Not to mention that actor Kim Soo Hyun is simply amazing.

It showcases the fickleness of super stardom and how quickly fans will turn on you. (Maybe a commentary on the Korean news media and the so called fans.) Shows how stardom can affect the people around you; friends and family. Being a star has it's own issues.

The villain is pretty awesome and it can be argued that Lee Jae Kyung is evil for the sake of being the villain here. However, the actor, Shin Sung Rok, does it swell. If you don't watch this look up Lee Jae Kyung in the red suit. * fans self * Lee Hui Kyung is the bad guy's unsuspecting brother and of course the third wheel to the love story. He should have been soooooo annoying as this stupid guy who follows Song Yi around. She's told him no, but he will and never leaves her. Yet the writing again develops his character and you understand him and are heartbroken with him. Respect. I thought Do Min Joon was beyond stupid trying to protect Song Yi from Lee Jae Kyung, but Lee Hui Kyung not only turns around and gathers evidence, but he does the cop and Do Min Joon's jobs. It's very overlooked, and not acknowledge by the other characters, that he saves the day. Sure Do Min Joon was called in to use his powers, but if push came to shove I'm sure Lee Hui Kyung could have done it himself.

Even the girl friend turning out to be a jealous friend was handled well! (Song Yi's friend!) See solid writing can turn a hated trope into a good thing. You can understand Se Mi and where she is coming from. What I liked even more is that she eventually grows up. I really loved the actress and hope to see her in some leading roles. (Apparently Goblin???) Other actors and relationships I enjoyed would be actor Ahn Jae Hyun! Oh, I've been watching his stuff backwards, but I'm happy to see his “debut”. I loved his relationship with his sister and her fame, and shockingly Do Min Joon! His crush/hero worship of Do Min Joon is another great thing. I also enjoyed Song Yi's family as we learn how broken they are and by the end come together. Oh, and Song Yi has a real friend and I loved their relationship so much!

While I probably won't be rewatchng the whole show anytime soon I will be watching favorite scenes over and over again. The music is all right and while nothing truly pops up while watching I did sing along with the OST. Though if pressed I couldn't sing it to you now. Out of my head already. The instrumental pieces were simple and fit well, but I won't go out of my way to get the soundtrack. Visually it's stunning and I thought the affects were done well enough! It is a TV show and they budgeted well.

You Who Came From the Star pretty much has the frame work of world building and ignores some of the obvious questions about its science fiction aspects. This is a fated across time love story with aliens. All of the regular tropes tossed in and written well enough that it's not annoying (most of the time). While I'm worried about certain alien and human incompatibilities not being addressed at the end. (To which my alternate ending idea would have fixed. Someone needs to hire me. ^_-) Not to mention the explanation to the ending, I have to be honest that this worked. The writer focuses on the things that turns You Who Came From the Stars into a pretty fun show. Character development, fantastic and clever humor, a build up to love (no instalove thank you), and turning unrealistic characters to realistic/relatable ones. By episode 5 I believe viewers will fully know if this show is for them. Some might not be able to turn a blind eye to the glaring plot holes, maybe even find things slowing down as the show was slated for 16 episodes and dragged out to 21 (though I think they did a pretty good job only 2 episodes truly lagged), and might not be able to click with the female lead. However, I think if you let the writing take hold and simply enjoy it's all well worth it.

I enjoyed myself and I'm glad I did.

You Who Came From The Stars??? ? ?? or You Who Came From The Stars (my favourite translation of the title)
I admit, I started to watch this after seeing people constantly posting pictures on Tumblr. I know its a weird reason, but I was interested in what it would be like.

At first, I was really annoyed by Cheon Song Yi. Her English was a little annoying for me. But I guess it was the strong American accent that annoyed me more than anything. I did like how Jeon Ji Hyeon tried though. I think it was the character's ego that annoyed me, when she thought she was everything.
Yet when I saw Do Min Joo(Kim Soo Hyun) I was glad he was a quiet, introverted in a way. It seemed to suit the qualities of an Alien. The TowelAlthough, I am still unsure as to why a towel is warn in the shower, I am sure some clever photography would have been best to make the view think he was naked... was the towel really necessary? I guess it was really a PG drama... but it was shown at 22:00... no young child should be up at this time.... Should have used clever shooting!

It was great to see Do Min Jo slowly open up and actually connect with human's. Even if it was to an Actress who likes the lime-light. But she soon because a softy, and of course, a clingy women who tries to act strong but isn't inside.

The chemistry between the two leads was cute and it was nice to see them show more emotions as you watch each episode. Though, the supporting characters were too much most of the time. This drama had a lot of people who were clinging to their crushes and to be honest..... THEY SEEMED LIKE STALKERS!!! it was a little scary at times. If I ever become like that, I want someone to shoot me!

Overall, I really enjoyed watching it and was sympathizing with Do Min Jo's emotional realization of what love really is. It was great to see him portray those heart squeezing scenes (when yo watch the clips at the end of each episode, you will understand).

I think the cast was picked well as all were able to show different emotions. Although, I found the side story of the Lee brother's to be a little stale and wanted to skip past to go back to the lovers. But that is my personal opinion.

If you love watching romantic drama's, then this should definitely be on your list to watch. Its not the normal where the female is this cutesy, dumb, and naive character. Yet, she can really get annoying at times. I think it is a little appealing to watch in some aspects. I wasn't disappointed at the end of each episode. Instead, I was kept at the edge of my seat, waiting for the next episode to see what happens. Cliff hangers were good and the little bonus clips at the end of each episode added to the story and to the characters.

Watch it when you get the chance!!!
