My Love from the Star (2013)

(Only my own opinion.)
I personally adore melodramas as every female individual of my family does. I think it's in our blood. Talking about this melodrama I suppose my ranking tells everything. First I didn't want to watch this drama because the female protagonist wasn't lovely for me. The male one was one of my favourites but still this wasn't enough. After a while I decided to watch it because of my friend. I can tell it was one of my best choices! Even my 13 years old brother loved it. He has been rewatching it since then. So am I.

THE PLOT is very simple but still creative and not far-fetched. The whole story is set around an actress whose personality is astonishing, bit childish and staggeringly loveable. The male main character is a bit boring at the beginning but also very funny and characteristic. Their plays are amazing. They make you laugh and cry at the same time, they can pass all sentiments not only descently but in an awesome way. There is exhilaration, sadness, struggling and everything which is needed for a powerful drama.
And they are hilarious! So many jokes that are not ridiculous but actually funny! Even from the beginning right in the first or maybe second episode. It worth it for watching in terms of acting and plot.

THE MUSIC is descent. I can't say I loved it or would download it because it wasn't bad or good either. They were like okay. But still better a bit than OK. It slightly worth it to watch in terms of music.

THE VENUE of it is breath-taking sometimes but definitely better than OK. They make you imagine a great place to live, a place where you want to be in 10 years. It's not like being a billionare but like being a higher-budget person than a normal citizen. It may worth it for watching in terms of the venues.

It is TOTALLY rewatchable. I've watched it for the 2nd time already. Must mention that I've watched it a few days ago for the first time.:) And I'm not really easy to convince about the quality of a drama. (And I don't easily change my mind.)

In total: I OBVIOUSLY RECOMMEND IT FOR EVERYONE WHO LIKES FUNNY, GRIPPING, PLAYFUL ROMANCE WHICH BEGINS WITH THE PROTAGONISTS NOT KNOWING EACH OTHER AKA FROM THE MYSTERY. WATCH IT, PEOPLE, WATCH IT. It is one of the must-watch dramas for sure! Now I understand why people recommended it so much for me.:)

Drama maravilhoso de bom!

Sinceramente, no início, eu não estava indo muito com a cara dele, porque tinha uns personagens muito exagerados... porém, o desenvolvimento do casal, principalmente da Cheon Song Yi, me fez mudar de ideia.

Foi a minha primeira vez com a Jun Ji Hyun, e é claro que ela entrou pra lista de atrizes preferidas. Pude ver o Kim Soo Hyun mais uma vez e bem mais charmoso com aquele cabelo rsrsrs.

Eu diria que o único ponto fraco dele foi o casal secundário que nem era um casal . Depois de Cheese in the Trap, eu peguei aversão pelo Park Hae Jin, porém amenizou com esse personagem, porque convenhamos, no final do drama até que ele era bonzinho rsrs. MAS, ainda falhou por não dar uma chance pra Se Mi.

A trilha sonora foi boa e o fechamento também foi bom. Como ponto forte, claro que foi a química entre o casal e a ótima atuação. Super recomendo e amei!

Woah, I can't believe that I have finished this drama in... 3 days! I didn't even wanted to watch when I found out about it, because the poster is so ugly in my opinion (yeah, I'm superficial), it has 21 episodes and I don't really have the patience, and the story sounded silly for me.
But I decided to give it a try and I regret nothing!
As I said, the story sounded kind of silly. A perfect-looking alien landed on Earth 400 years ago, and then he falls in love when he has only 3 months to stay on Earth. But as I watched it, I really enjoyed it. I really liked the references to the past. Some were very sad, some were just hilarious. I really liked how the story went, how the comedy was so nicely combined with the melodrama, and with the supporting story (if I can call it that way).
The acting was great, and the actors did an amazing job! I actually lived with them the happy, and even the sad moments! I really liked all the characters. Kim Soo Hyun was amazing in the role of Min Joon (or should I call him Da Mon? lol)! Also, Jeon Ji Hyun was great, even if in the beginning I didn't really like her, she did an amazing job! And Song Yi was a really great character, I have often identified myself with her. Park Hae Jin also was good, and I liked his character a lot. As much as I like Yoo In Na, I think that she didn't sell her character quite well, she just seemed sweet and innocent all the time, even when her character was technically showing her teeth.
The music was great, I really enjoyed the OST!
As a rewatch value, I gave it a 9, because I may want to watch it again in the future, I really liked this drama.
Overall, I give this drama a 9.5. If you want to watch a drama where you can laugh, and cry at the same time, where you want something serious, but not too many complicated things, misunderstandings and bullshit between the leads, you should definitely watch it!

This drama is a perfect blend of comedy and melodrama. The main character "opposites attract" and chemistry factors were unbelievable. Of course, the plot was somewhat generic and quite predictable at times, but the romance portion of the it was very fast moving and well-developed. This is totally random, but I loved that the creators incorporated some American pop and classical music into the series, which made it more alive I guess.



Great drama overall. Though the ending left many unanswered questions, I would still re-watch this over and over again for the cute and funny moments!

I'll give this drama a 10/10. I can't comment anything that much because I can't find a flaw in this drama . Everything's perfect. The story, plot, characters, actors/actress, scenes, chemistry and even the OSTs. The ending might not be that satisfying but overall this drama is good. The pace of the drama is not fast and you can really understand every episodes/scenes. All episode are worth it. This drama is worth it. I'll recommend this for you to watch. You will really love/like each episodes. They really gives justice to the characters they play and they act it perfectly. For me this drama is good and even though it has 21 episodes, I didn't even find one of it boring. ^-^

An Absolute Classic! Must Watch!

This is honestly a classic, and it was super popular for a reason. It's such a great drama.
The story is a tad bit cliche in places, but overall it is more unique and interesting than regular dramas. It's got great cinematics and writing.
The actors/actresses are phenomenal; every character is played by a great actor. The chemistry between the main characters is outstanding. The sad scenes are heart-wrenching, the happy scenes are so uplifting. It's just such a wonderfully made drama. The ost is great as well. You certainly need to check it out.

If you're just now starting dramas I would certainly recommend this one as a starter. If you haven't watched it yet you should.

I’ve probably rewatched this drama a couple of times already. This drama blended the all the right formula and become the drama crack when it aired. I was definitely addicted. Many things could have gone wrong with the alien, narcissistic actress and psychotic villain but surprisingly it hit all the right notes and delivered a well loved drama. The character were well written and the delivery from the actors couldn’t have been done any better but Cheon Song-yi our ‘tad bit narcissistic’ and quite dense FL really stole the thunder. “Sorry” is still stuck on my brain after 5 years of its airing. Couple that with our uptight grandpa youthful looking alien Do Min Joo and we got the best opposite attract couple; I could watch their antics forever. It’s not a perfect drama specially the cartoonish villain but that also became a trend with him petting his ring equals one persons death but yes. The good far ought weight the bad.

I would recommend this drama solely because of the excellent acting portrayed by Jeon Ji Hyun in her role as Cheon Song Yi. Cheon Song Yi is one of the most lovable female characters I've watched. She presents an abrasive personality initially, but demonstrates a strong sense of respect for herself and her loved ones, with a somewhat innocent (and thoroughly amusing) side when it comes to the man she loves.

Do Min Joon is a very old man--well, really he is an alien who has lived for many years on Earth but because of his alien lifespan, he still looks as young as ever. Kim Soo Hyun does a decent job in this role. Do Min Joon provides a good contrast to Cheon Song Yi's overflowing personality.

The side characters are what you'd expect from a kdrama, but they play a satisfying role in the story and are not lacking.

"You are my destiny~" I have a feeling this song will become one of those iconic romantic kdrama songs--the kind of song that starts playing at the beginning of any romantic scene, meant to pull at your heartstrings. For me, the song is very cheesy (but hey, it is a kdrama), but I think they were successful in using an iconic song that will be immediately associated with this drama as I heard it playing throughout Asia, months after the drama had finished airing--this was definitely a huge hit when it aired.

Despite certain flaws in explaining the alien element, I would still definitely recommend this if you're looking for a fun romance with a little bit of drama, as the main characters will keep you entertained for the whole show.

lol i liked it

ok maybe im just a rabid fanbut are we watching the same drama yall? It was great. I rewatched it after 7 years so it was like watching it for the first time but not once did i feel any of the flaws. Okay fine at points its cliche and the ending is a tad bit too convenient BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS. .

2 for the music because you AARE MY DESTINAY got very very old real quick. Plus its been used on those meme edits so I cant take it seriously. No problem with the acting, and the ML was wooden but thats expected from his type of character. Female lead is annoying but thats fine! Thats the whole point. Its funny. Ish. Ill warn for some severe second hand embarassment virtually every single time she opens her mouth BUT I dont even care. I love her just the way she is
No chemistry? As IF

ok but I will admit that at multiple points I end up wondering wth the ml sees in the fl. Shes stupid and plain vapid. Which is okay but whatever. I still want them together though. I guess shes endearing. Probably. Lmao.





Okay she kind of sucks but its FINE. I promise

To be honest i think the only reason he likes her is her face in effect lol.
So the lob part kinda sucks but oh well


I woukdnt rewatch it rn but maybe Ill wait another 7 years to do so again
