Sh**ting Stars

Shooting Stars is a romantic comedy intertwined with drama centered around the top star at an entertainment agency and the PR Manager who has the task of managing him. He is a difficult task for the PR Manager all the while she is unaware that he has a secret crush on him. I love the beginning of the show in episode 1 where the top star is shown in Africa where he goes to volunteer for a year. His real reasons for doing this are divulged later in the series as the drama gets revealed. He comes back after a year of volunteerism to continue with his acting career, and he reunites with his former PR Manager again. The lead actor KIM YOUNG DAE plays the top star named Gong Tae Sung at the agency. He does an excellent job on his first lead role and is the perfect fit for the role. He is handsome, romantic, and they couldn't get anyone better. I rarely mention female leads in my reviews as I usually don't like them so much but I actually did like Lee Sung Kyung which is rare for me. After my many reviews on imdb in the US I have only mentioned 2 other females so that is saying a lot. When Gong returns there is a hysterically funny scene where it shows the PR Manager's first mistake with Gong where she accidentally uploaded a story that questioned his manhood (by a misspelling of a word). You will see how it plays out but it is so funny. I want to mention that the K-Drama is showcasing the popular song Your My Shooting Star which is an integral part of the series. Even I recognized it and I live the US so it must be pretty popular. #ShootingStars #GongTaeSung.

Yes, it is a good romcom k-drama, storyline revolves around the people behind the camera and actors/actresses.. It has a good humor but the main reason on which the story is depending on is kinda stupid. (Actually NO exact reason has been displayed in the drama) But overall the drama is okok..

The show starts a bit slow and all over the place, but after episode 2 it's great, you'll love all the characters and the their stories. The lawyer was one of my favorites in this show, although the main characters Oh Han Byeol and Gong Tae Sung were super cute as well.

This drama could have been a perfect romantic comedy. However, by episode 11 it felt as if the writers forgot what they were aiming for at the beginning. As the drama started with chaotic best friends turned enemies plot and they eventually fell for each other and started a relationship. This is a great plotline. However, the show does not go deeper into their romance or why they were so angry at each other all the time and how it slowly turns into fluffy kisses. It feels like their change happens over night and feels short of expectations.

I also, did not like the heavy yellow filter they put to show "Africa" in the beginning of the Ep1 and the fact that they kept referring to all the countries in the African continent as just one poor country without water.

Also, the side character romances just seem to happen with whoever the partners they are with and as a viewer I found myself uninterested about all of them.

On the other hand, it was great to see the behind the scenes of a celebrities life and how their agencies and PR team are actually handling all the "scandals" and crisis that they seem to face everyday.

Also, I loved the actress who was actually a number one fan of the main lead. She represented all of us fans very well.

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.
