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.
