Dragoste din Stele (2013)

I honestly only started watching My Love From the Stars because Ahn Jae Hyun was in it, and all of my friends that watch Korean dramas kept persisting for me to watch it. And I am honestly glad that I did watch it. I don't usually like Sci-Fi related movies, dramas, etc, so I wasn't expecting to love this drama as much as I did. It was amazing from start to finish, and I'm glad my friends convinced me to watch this.

By reading the synopsis of the drama, I was slightly skeptical of what was going to happen, but it was great. I also really liked the fact that Do Min Joon tried to keep this identity as scarce as possible, only revealing it when needed, and that worked perfectly with the story. Although it took me a couple of weeks to finish it as I had also anime to watch and school to attend, the plot and what was going on always remained with me until I watched the next episode. Each episode is something new and exciting, and is also very memorable.

In my opinion, the acting choices were almost perfect. Kim Soo Hyun's character of Do Min Joon is described as near perfection, and that's exactly correct. I fell in love with Min Joon the second he said his first words. He's flawless and I wouldn't change a thing about him. Kim Soo Hyun's acting of Min Joon has even pushed me to want to take a degree in Psychology. I also loved Jeon Ji Hyeon, Park Hae Jin and Shin Sung Rok's acting. It was amazing, and I loved their acting (although I really hated Sung Rock's character of Jae Kyeong most of the time). And of course, I loved Ahn Jae Hyun's acting of Song Yi's younger brother - Yoon Jae. However, there were two acting choices I wasn't all that pleased with. The first one was Yoo In Na's acting of Se Mi. I've seen her roles in previous dramas, and I've loved her in those, but in My Love From the Stars, I didn't like it as much. And it didn't help that I didn't like her character either. The other acting choice I wasn't happy with was Kim Hyun Soo who played both Song Yi's younger self and Seo Yi Hwa (the girl from 400 years ago). She got extremely annoying, repetitive, and I just couldn't stand her.

The music is general is amazing. It reminds me so much of Secret Garden, and their soundtracks were splendid. Even though this is usually the most popular soundtrack, My Destiny by LYn is definitely my favourite. It's such a great listen, and it brings lots of feels - both sad and happy.

I would definitely watch this again. If I could, I would put it above doing anything else, but as life is, I can't exactly do that. I have many things to do and watching My Love From the Stars isn't a priority anymore (as I have finished it).

In conclusion, besides two unhappy acting choices, this drama is simply awesome and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good drama. I could even recommend this to my friends who don't watch Asian dramas. I understand fully why my friends love this, as I also love it with a passion.

I really love this drama! I love the story, the cast, the plot, and their acting.

Every cast gives justice on their own particular role especially to Jun Ji Hyun, she really nailed it! She's so cute and funny, I reached the point where I solely watched this because of her since she made it all watchable and enjoyable.and that's the reason why she won the grand prize in the 50th Baekseng art awards.

Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Swoo Hyun has a great chemistry, they're a real couple, they're not a perfect match but they have a SPARK, they look cute when they're arguing like a married couple.

The supporting actors are also good as well, they're versatile, they're good in melo-drama and good in comedy just like the two major stars. perfect cast for perfect drama

This is the best drama ever!!..... or well at least for me :)

The Drama just ended last night and I'm already feeling nostalgic.
Every little thing about it is great:

Let's start with the Story; i thought at first that it will be just as all the ghost stories, boring and predictable, but it wasn't the case, the story and the events were actually outstanding, all the classy moments we always see in Romantic comedies was anything but cheesy, that was cute, funny and simply awesome.

The Acting, i don't think they could have found better matching,the two leads looked so natural and the lead actress is just perfect.

The music was well chosen, and i think I'll definitely re-watch it.

Overall, i think this drama is a masterpiece, there was lot of morals and the way they dealt with them left me speechless!!!

I recommend this Drama to everyone and i hope you'll enjoy it as i did !!

I cant wait to watch episode 14 since it will be extended to another week bcus of chinese new year, (do you see my problem here?)

If you've been watching drama lately you would have most likely heard the name "you who came from the stars" it's a drama that got instantly popular for various reasons. It had an interesting plot, yes I'll give it that it sounded really interesting and I was excited to watch it, just like the heirs. Now of course there is going to be a debate on wether this drama lived up to its hype or if it was just another cliche drama. What did we get? We got something that wasn't exactly cliche but had its moments, that's it that's my basic description of   "you who came from the stars" 

Story:
The story was interesting it caught my eye in an instant with its alien type fantasy setting with romance, because I mean where could we go wrong with that? As a romance lover I was extremely excited for this and was I disappointed? Yes 
The first 2 episodes were good, I liked them a lot but after that it went down hill because of all the cliches, just basically cliche. Well I was expecting it because it's about an alien who falls in love with the extremely famous, cheon song Yi! So there was obviously bound to be some cliches. The whole he has super powers really interested me and I was hoping for a story that was breathtaking but sometimes we can't always get what we want, Can we?

Characters:
Alright so we've got the cliche cold male lead who is rude to the naive female lead and they fall in love, oh wait? I think I've seen this somewhere before?? heirs, boys over flowers, many more) so I was a little annoyed because I really disliked that they had to be extremely cliche to a point that it was really hard to watch, the supporting characters were better than the mains and that's when you know the main characters aren't good. But don't get me wrong the actors/actresses were excellent at portraying the characters, great performances from the whole cast! I enjoyed their acting, it was fantastic. 

Music:
The music was nice it wasn't amazing or anything, I'm not going to remember the ost whatsoever but there indeed was a couple of tracks that were nice to the ears. I think the music was one of the things I actually liked to some extent. You could probably save yourself 21 hours and just listen to the soundtrack on YouTube. 



All in all this drama is a hit or a miss I would honestly recommend trying this drama and if it isn't for you drop it because it doesn't get any better after the first 2 episodes, harsh I know but this is a review and I want to express my absolute  honest opinion and that is, Well this drama is overrated just like the heirs. I really tried to enjoy it and I just found myself bored and not interested in the characters, there was a lack of character development at some points and I think the writer just wanted to please the viewers because of such high ratings (the ratings were so high it basically knocked every drama down that was airing at the same time) It was popular that's all there is to it, there is way better dramas than this, honestly if you like romance and just want to watch it for the romance then yeah! I completely understand because there was a lot of romantic elements throughout the story that I enjoyed to some extent.  But  it
still doesn't change the fact that it was quite cliche.. Disappointed would be the word to describe this drama,  Because this drama had amazing potential.

My final score: 7 
Characters: 7 
Story: 7 
Music:  8 
Enjoyment: 7

I recommend looking into a drama before you watch it and NEVER judge a show based off of ratings because this has a great score but was lacking a lot. Save yourself 21 hours and google recaps, because honestly there is way better dramas. 

Sorry for the Lack of detail regarding everything I'm using my phone to write this and English isn't my first language. 

Thank you for reading my review and I hope you understand that everyone has different opinions regarding shows, movies and other forms of entertainment. Everyone has a right to an opinion and I hope you can look past the fact that I didn't enjoy this drama as much as others because well? It's my opinion! Thank you.

I am not usually a fan of sci-fi romances, so when I read the summary for You Who Came from the Stars, my expectations were not very high. But boy, am I glad I watched this one! This drama is the perfect blend of comedy, melodrama, and romance. The story is well rounded and intense, if not a little predictable. The characters are hilarious and realistic—Kim Soo Hyun (Do Min Joo) and Jeon Ji Hyeon (Chun Song Yi) did a beautiful job of laughing, loving, and crying their way through a heart-wrenching relationship. Their chemistry is amazing, and though the drama wasn't explicit, they did a great job of showing their affection and dedication throughout the whole drama. While the drama was primarily about the couple, the storyline also followed other characters and their development. All of the characters are lovable, even the ones that are intentionally supposed to be evil or annoying. Through both the story development and the character growth, YWCFTS also emphasizes the value of life and living in the moment. The music was well done, though the transitions were a little abrupt at times. The only reason that I gave this drama a rewatch value of 8 (and not higher) was because the storyline loses its suspense after a rewatch. However, the romance is wonderful (and makes me cry) no matter how many times I watch it. Overall, YWCFTS was a beautiful bittersweet drama about a young couple in love and, perhaps more importantly, the importance of fully appreciating love and the time that we have with our loved ones.
