My Love from the Star

I love it! It's a beautiful series from the beginning to the end.

I have become a real lover of Korean TV series, especially those with a strong romantic thread to the story. This is typical of the genre with a cheesy story delivered with such sincerity, humour and skill that it becomes a joy to watch.

The story is quite well written with a fairly complex plot that keeps you interested and it's surprisingly funny in parts. Even the supporting characters are quite endearing. There are some slightly painful scenes that could have been left out. 21 episodes was probably too much for the story.

The charm of the lead actors Kim Soo Hyun and Gianna Jun keeps this show afloat. She does a good job of being cute. With some one else less capable the character could have become annoying.

Worth a watch.

This series owned me. Flat out had me at "hello" and kept building on me with each episode.. So well acted by all. Bigtime laughs peppers the tears and the dire moments. Magic is delivered.

I refused to complain about tid-bits in a production that thrilled my nervous system with such a strong love story in a sea of power mad agendas. I'm sure others can give this less than ALL STARS. But, hey, the actors were all stars, so why not?

The biggest problem is NO SEQUEL.

This series knows how to love faces. So many close-ups that should have had me looking for skin bumps and ear hair instead had me involved in ten second long emotions being obviously processed -- like I said, good acting.

Start the series. See if you can quit after a few episodes.

I'm 75 years old, retired white married guy -- not a push over, but I kept getting serious binge dynamics. Saw all 21 episodes in three days. Be warned. Clear your calendar.

(I posted this exact review -- mistakenly -- for another similarly titled series, but this is the TV series I saw.)

Definitely, a memorable performance by Jun Ji-Hyun. From her performance alone, you can see how challenging the character was. In fact, the whole series would probably bombed if it wasn't for her amazing performance as Cheon Song-Yi. You would expect Kim Soo-hyun to match Jun Ji-Hyun's performance but there was no way for him. The romance, the comedy and the drama revolved and was carried by Jun Ji-Hyun and it was perfection. You'll definitely enjoy every bit of this drama. My only complaint is the ending. They went for something that felt like a compromise and it was not my cup of tea. Still, a must watch!!!
