Sh**ting Stars

Oh Han-byeol (Lee Sung Kyung) is the head of a PR team who work for a company called starforce, the top star on their books is Gong Tae-sung (Kim Young Dae). These two have endured a frosty love hate relationship since their school days but over time both come to the realisation that they do really like each other. The story line is interesting as it shows the difficulties and struggles of protecting the lives of famous people when so many fans believe they can behave as judges of how the stars should live their life. A great supporting cast with stories of their own and a believable romance between the two leads make this an enjoyable watch.

This k-drama is a gem of rom-com genre. The comedies are all so fresh and the romance scenes are all so heart fluttering. All the actors did amazing job in portraying their respective roles. Especially superstar Ggong (male lead Kim Young-dae) was so good. His facial expressions, detailed emotional changes in his eyes were so on point that made the drama more enjoyable. Applause for his brilliant acting skill.

The first half of the drama made me laugh so much that I will rewatch those episodes whenever I feel down. The second half was on the right mixture of both romance and comedy. The last few episodes, however, sometimes felt like a bit dragged.

One of the best thing about this drama is they do not wait till the final episodes to reach the climax. They introduced problems and solved them within few episodes. And so the story progressed, and I was all curious about what was about to happen next without getting bored. There were no unnecessary misunderstandings and everyone was so direct in expressing their feelings.

Despite having too many sub-plots in this story, this drama never once felt all over the place. Rather it was nicely and swiftly executed. However, there were some weak points in the story that I think they could have avoided. And it would have been much better if they ended it within 14 episodes.

Here is a no spoiler, high-level review. I just want you to know I think you should watch it! Why?

The acting is truly great from the entire cast. I don't want to slight anyone. The female lead (Lee Song-Kyoung) and her friends in the series are all incredible actresses. But the male lead (Kim Young-Dae) turned in the best performance by a guy in all the KDramas I have watched. And I truly mean that. His ability to be both truly romantic and funny is amazing. He just knocked it out of the park. And, even as a pretty old, very straight male I have to say that guy is so good looking! The shots of him being "hot" were, well, hot! (And hilarious at the same time :-) )

The lead couple is maybe tied for the most beautiful and heartfelt couple from any Kdrama I have seen. Their chemistry is off the charts. They should hook up in real life!

There is touching romance and warm humor without ever going over the top and getting silly.

The level of trauma is low for a KDrama, which is awesome. The slight trauma and inevitable love triangle were resolved quickly and maturely. (Thank you writers!)

This series kept me engaged and rooting for multiple couples during every minute. I was seriously bummed when it was over, even if I liked the way it turned out for so many of the cast.

Seriously, just watch it!

This a light hearted feel good kdrama. The first 10 episodes are jamm packed with comedy.

I however found myself utterly uninterested in the side storylines. I did not care for them at all and kept skipping to either Kang Yu Seong's parts or the main leads' parts. They did however do a good job tying them all together at the end at least and making them considerably watch worthy.

From 11 to 14th episode the whole vibe of the drama becomes sad. It feels like a very sudden change. I actually kept wondering what was actually happening. The last two episodes are better.

The drama has no storyline and it doesnt need one. I watched this after Penthouse to get rid of the depression it gave me. Its a wonderful feel good drama that i could definitely watch again for comedy. It also gives you an insight on a celebrity's life and how their agency handles their lives to some extent.

I do think it had a lot more potential though.

If you are looking for happy and comedy pill then this show is the one.

Besides, this show also focuses on the background of the celebrities as how they are in real life.

I really like lee sung kyung's acting. So this show is good to watch.

Light hearted.
