Are you a big E.T. fan? Wish you could talk to someone from another planet? Ever wonder what Aliens would do with their free time if they came to earth?
Well if you would like to get the real Romantic Kdrama Alien experience then you need to watch My Love From Another Star!
This Drama has a refreshing twist to it as you watch (Extremely handsome) alien Do Min Joon record his dealings on earth for the last 400 years, landing on earth during the Joseon Dynasty period he saves the life of a young girl and as a consequence, is left on earth until his people can return for him. Do Min Joon adapted quickly to life on earth and after many experiences, friendships, hardships, and heartbreak Do Min Joon finally has an opportunity to return home; With only three months remaining on earth and all of his affairs in order, Do Min Joon is faced with something he never thought he could ever reclaim....a chance for love! (In an unlikely place)
His new neighbor, Cheon Song-Yi is a high profile Prima-Donna actress, who is his polar opposite in every aspect and after they meet again and again they begin to build a dangerous new friendship that leads to romance, and trouble!
With murder plots, rivalries, requited love, Drama, fun flash backs to the past, and Alien magic, this Drama is one for the stars! There are ups and downs that really pull you into the story and some great acting skills that tug at your heartstrings. (No pun intended lol)
Now as I was watching this Drama I really REALLY enjoyed the pace of the romance as it intermingles with mystery and danger, it wasn't too pushy with the plot and the character development was perfect! There are tons of flashbacks in almost every drama, but this was the first time I thoroughly enjoyed re watching scenes because they add background plot that ties things together and reveals secrets in a tasteful way that keeps your interest piqued.
I found that it was also really well balanced in comedy, action, suspense, romance, and dramatic scenarios, you got enough of each in every episode! No over whelming whirlwinds of chaos that you find in (Let's face it....) most high school based dramas. I don't know about you guys, but I usually have to take breaks from those shows to keep me interested in the plot....
Anyways this show was top notch, and with a few minor details that were frustrating, such as overdrawn plot, a few filler episodes that are basically repeats of the previous episode, and a few fizzled out characters/plotlines that don't get a great and well deserved finale, this show was pretty great!
Now for the KISSING CORNER! Does this drama have some well placed romance? You better
believe it! You yearn for more each time, and they keep each scene clean (well acted, not too long, not awkward, and well placed) , romantic, MAGICAL and in the moment!
With only a slight pause of open eyes, most kisses in this drama are sweet and gentle and full of love!
Your heart will melt each time 100%, there is nothing desperate or urgent in these kisses at all, just
pure and innocent feelings every time! I loved the kisses in this drama so much! Nothing over done
about them and with a feeling of playfulness and romance your heart will leap and your eyes will tear up *sigh*
NOW for the ending of the show, I give it two thumbs up! It was a great way to end the series, I
would have only changed the ending that involved the main villain, as it had less of a focus on him towards the end, but he had most of the focus for a good chunk of the show I feel he deserved a better fate than a fizzled and sort of slapped on ending. (And the second male lead should have had a resolved ending, you don't really get closure on his story at all.) HOWEVER the ending involving the main characters was realistic, and bitter sweet! It rounded everything out nicely, keeping true to the plot and past dilemmas and it shows just how important your love is when you are true to your heart!
So how well did this Drama do? Let's see!
DRUMROLL PLEASE! bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb TSH!
On the Aish-Drama's scale of Dramatastic shows My Love From another Star wins a................
7.6 on a scale 1-10
Yeah Baby! This show was pretty terrific! It covered all my favorite types of scenes like mystery, action, revenge, justice, and some extremely funny bits mixed into an innocent romance that you just can't help falling in love with! The acting was great and the story was fun!
So hold onto your hats, because they might just fly away as you watch this extra terrestrial and extra amazing KDRAMA!
