Dragoste din Stele (2013)

Story- This story revolves around an alien who will be leaving earth soon, he has made all his plans and choices until he met Cheong Song Yi. This leaves you wanting more , because will he leave her? And millions of untold questions, wanting more. It also adds a murder story which makes you want to watch more.

Characters- The characters all have a personality. Cheong Song Yi being sassy, cute, over dramatic, and is an airhead(In a good way). Do min joon, a guy who is cold hearted, secretly sensible, and full of mysteries.

Side characters- Se Mi has a compelling story about her love. Cheong song yi's boyfriend loves her so much even though he'll never have that chance. It shows a unique way of teaching others the hardship. The murder was really good at acting too. Cheong Song Yi's mother was good at being the gold digger. Her brother was a funny character, secretly making sure no one makes fun of Song Yi.

Ost- I loved Hello Goodbye. You were my destiny was beautiful. Nothing more to say about this beautiful song.

Romance- The romance feels so alive, the chemistry with Do Min Joon and Song Yi was well played and energetic.

Comedy- This show brings out the fun side too. Full of laughs and comedy.

Enjoyment- Full of surprises, unexpected plot twist, laugh your butt off comedy, and romance packed in a heartwarming drama. I have watched this 3 times, since I have more to go.

And to think I didn't like Fantasy

This drama really surprised me. It's been on my Watchlist for a long time largely because although it's highly rated and raved about, I'm not really into Fantasy. It's also an older drama and I thought that would turn me off. Finally, I do know the ML and the SFL and SML, but I'd never seen anything with the FL in it before.

Well, it turns out this was far better than I could have imagined. The Fantasy is corny/cheesy, but it works with the plot and they've managed to make it kind of humourous...almost like they're poking fun of it themselves. This is a 2013/2014 drama, but it really doesn't "feel" that old. Also, in spite of "knowing" several of the characters, it was the FL who I didn't know at all that helped me to sustain my interest in this drama. She is hilarious! Living through Covid (albeit the tail end of it), I don't get a lot of chances to laugh. The FL's antics helped in this regard for sure! I really liked her character.

I'm not crazy about the ending of this. Finding out the screenwriter also wrote CLOY, it makes sense. In fact, I suppose the ending does make sense, but I always prefer a more succinct, final ending. Nevertheless, looking at the reviews for that final episode reveals I'm in the minority. Most people think it's perfect...and I guess it kind of is.

This is a really good drama that holds up well and will make you laugh...and even cry a bit.

This is the very first korean drama that I've watched and I must say that it set the expectation bar so high for others.

STORY:
I gave it a 9.5/10 because it was just A+ for me. The alien stuff weren't too overboard which I really liked since I am not really a fan of that genre. The progression of the story was perfect - it was neither slow or fast. It provided just enough tension to keep me wanting more!

ACTING/CAST:
I can't really comment on the acting as I've only watched Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun just once but I must say that they are really good in internalizing their characters on screen. They were really good in playing their parts, especially Jun Ji-hyun! I really thought she added more flair to the show. Plus, their chemistry was off the roof! It's as if they're dating in real life (I wish though!).

MUSIC:
I have no problem with the music. The soundtrack that the producers have chosen are fit for the scenes. Did I mention that I still catch myself singing the theme music every now and then?!

REWATCH VALUE:
If you were to ask me if I'll watch this again, I would say yes! I know there are some heavy scenes here and there but this is really a feel good drama for me. I'll probably watch it when I'm feeling down or sad to lift my mood.

OVERALL:

I guess this is a best way to introduce myself to the world of k-dramas because it never disappointed me! I loved it overall and I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

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..

In fairness, this has a unique plot, at least HE's an alien.. Unlike in "Time Traveller's Wife" (hollywood movie) don't know what kind of creature he is hehehe..


Anyway, This has a great exection only because of the lead actress (sorry Im too slow for Korean names, hehehe)... and that's HER ONLY... she, drags this story to the top.... I know for sure, because she's a veteran and filmed in Hollywood already (that's why), so I trust her acting..... I felt sorry for her, because she has a "weak acting" partner, seemingly looks frustrating kinda "come on, please match my acting!!"...

I think this was only on top, because of KSH's tons of fans, and that's it.....


But then again, I heard they really convinced the lead actress to really accept this role... Well, I just find a few uninteresting scenes and find it boring......

But over all, it's good... I was entertained, ONLY because of the lead actress.... But Im not re-watching it again....

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.
