I really loved the whole story about the Alien guy falling in love with the celebrity. The plot writer was a genius. This drama had really fun moment even if there was serious moments, and they have really succeded with leaving you wanting more at the end of every episode.

I´ve never seen these actors before, but they leave me speechless. I really loved Kim Soo Hyuns acting, he portraited Do Min Joon very well. I also really liked Jeon Ji Hyeons acting. All of the characters were very compact which made the drama feel so real.

I think the ending was ok, although it was not what I was expecting, but overall this drama is one of the best I´ve ever seen.

One of my favorites

It is still one of my favorite K-dramas. The story is different from others. Love between an alien and a human, so I am not going to go with logic, and just enjoy what it can offer. Only wonder if it would be better if DMJ does not have that kind of reaction after kissing.
It has fun and cute, romantic and sad moments. "full package" . Some conversation, inserting some classic plot from ET is epic.
Jun Ji Hyun did a good job in this role, who is sassy, can be ruthless at times, yet adorable , it is difficult not to like this character
I will recommend this, it is definitely entertaining

Good, but it took a while

My first experience with Ji Hyun was watching Legend of the Sea and this was sent first dram with Soo Hyun. With that being said, I don't think I liked Ji Hyun better here and I don't think all the seriousness from his character suited Soo Hyun.

The story in itself was good and it had a lot of potential, but the series got stuck in a few episodes where things should've progressed a little faster from the side plots and the main storyline would've followed, but too much was left for the last four, three episodes and it became rushed and a little too hard to explain to the audience who, I imagine, was expecting a whole lot more.

*This is my first review, so please bare with me :)*

This Drama came to me on a perfect timing as I was just trying to find something that could bring me to tears not only of sadness but also joy! I started watching it some weeks  back but for some reason didn't go pass the first episode. And don't get me wrong here, it's not that it wasn't captivating, I just was too busy and kinda forgot that I was watching it so I ended up watching Dream High instead. That's when I totally fell for Kim Soo Hyun and decided to put my chaos together and give You Who Came from the Stars a try. The result? An absolute vortex of emotions!

This drama won't only keep you at the edge of your seat from all the mystery going on but you'll find yourself riding a rollercoaster of laughter, despair and tears! Not only the storyline is amazing and gives you the perfect vibes of how not even 400 years are enough to learn about love and life but also bombards you with scenes from past and present that will help you understand the main characters without falling in a traditional RomCom where poor extremely good girl meets cold hearted rich guy. The development of all the characters is very good, they all mature in a good way and learn from their own experiences.  I will give this drama extra kudos for the villain, I'm not going to enter into much detail but I'm just going to say that THAT's how a villain should be!

The chemistry between the main characters is heartwarming, they are so different and yet compliment each other in a nearly perfect way. Kim Soo Hyun will captivate you with his charm and personality, he's a very lovable character and is so easy to empathize with  him. Jun Ji Hyun's character  on the other hand has so much charisma that it's impossible not to find yourself smiling during her monologues and hilarious scenes.

The supporting roles complemented the story perfectly. There really wasn't any single one who would get on my nerves and they all develop in a very loving and mature way!

I'm definitely adding this drama to my list of MUST re-watch since I'm sure I'll be enjoying it every time I watch it! So go ahead and give it a try, you won't regret it!!!

I found myself analyzing what is it that made me want to stop watching this drama 1/3 into it? I mean Jun Ji Hyun was funny enough but there was something...it took a while to figure out but in the end I concluded that (don’t hate me please ) the main leads didn’t have chemistry. That and Kim Soo-hyun’s acting, I know his character is supposed be cold and aloof but he ain’t in this one, just a flat affect seemingly in pain majority of the time.

In fairness to KSH I don’t think the failure of this drama (for me ) was all on his skills. Even with the overwhelming cliches the plot was not bad per se (it is an older drama after all) but I think that the overall character development of this drama was poor. The one bright spot of this series was Jun Ji Hyun. I have never seen any of her works but I could confidently say, based on her performance, that she was the perfect actress for this role. She made the character real, while bitchy on the outside JJH was able to show Cheon Song Yi’s “normalness” and vulnerability. Her younger brother was supper funny with his E.T. obsession, haha!

If you are new to kdramaland, go ahead and watch and be entertained. However if you have been around for a while skip this one unless you are a KSH OR JJH fan.

When I finally discovered Korean dramas, I completely gave up Hollywood, and since then have watched over 200 k-dramas and movies. While there are many good ones, there are only a couple which are at the absolute top of my list. It's almost impossible to compare modern and historical dramas, but among (mostly) modern dramas, this one is at the top of my list. It has everything one could want in a drama. It's counterpart at the top of my historical drama list is Empress Ki. These dramas star two of Korea's top actresses, who demonstrate convincingly why they have that status.

I really liked this drama! Here are a few things I liked about it:
-I really liked the "YOU ARE MY EVERYTHINGGG" song
-Do Min Joon was SOO attractive
-The story was good
-I didn't get bored
-There was comedy
-Cheon Song Yi's brother was great!
Some not so great things:
-It had a few plot holes (What doesn't honestly!) Which I don't really care about a ton...although it did bug me a bit more in this drama than most
-Some of the characters were really annoying...but not as bad as in most dramas, so I wouldn't really count that!
Anyways, it was a great show and I really enjoyed watching it!

O segundo melhor Dorama que já assisti

Boa história, trilha sonora perfeita. química do casal esplêndida.esse Dorama me surpreendeu muito não esperava que fosse tão bom. A história acontece devagar mas quando engrena não para mais. com certeza voltaria a assistir um dos melhores doramas feitos na Coreia.um dorama antigo (2013) que não conhecia porém ainda assim simplesmente um dos melhores. os personagens secundários incluindo o vilão também não deixam a desejar. o lance de parar o tempo funciona perfeitamente e causa emoção na cena e a insegurança do casal se poderão ou não ficar juntos é uma das melhores partes do drama. porque deixa tudo muito valioso a cada segundo.sensacional

Nothing over the top.. just wholesome.

The concept of the story is very interesting. How the Male lead was handled can be seen as positive or negative depending on the watcher. ML never used his abilities exceedingly for personal gain or kill enemies. It kinda separated him from Human nature but at the same time he had a lot of human emotions. Female lead wasn't my cup of the year initially but the character grew on me. Overall I must say that the Creators never used Alien powers to make a Super hero show , Romance was melodramatic , Main villain had good story ... nothing over the top.

overall I must say it was a good watch. Nothing unexpected happens.

Worth the Watch

This wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely good! The main selling point was the charming, compelling, adorable, amusing main couple (Cheon Song Yi and Do Min Joon) - both of whose actors were attractive people with fantastic acting skills. The plot was okay - some things could have been better explained with the alien stuff, and the murder plot was a bit dragged out at the end. The proper end was also a touch deux ex machina, and again, skimped on the alien/sci-fi explanations/possibilities. That said, I had a really fun time watching this and was definitely absorbed into the emotions of the characters. Also, shout out to Lawyer Jang and Yoon Jae (Song Yi’s little brother)! They were great, too. Overall, this was a solid drama that was worth the watch. Recommended.

A show that's out of this world (well sort of)

Sometimes you stumble across shows that remain with you for a long time because the characters are memorable and are supported by an actually enjoyable story. My Love From the Star is one of those shows. About a brooding alien with supernatural gifts trapped on earth and a sweet, but rather clueless, actress struggling with the hounding pressure of fame, these two come together to deliver a lovely show. The scenes alternate between beautiful to funny to sad and all of them at once.

The chemistry of Kim Soo-Hyun and Jun Ji-Hyun emphatically underpins the show's success. They are incredible together and separately, injecting their characters with a beautiful array of emotions. Jun Ji-Hyun's acting is perhaps more memorable simply because her character is far more vivid and vibrant than Kim Soo-Hyun's rather guarded character. The support cast around them also delivers and that is perhaps what stands it out from a lot of other Kdrama shows. Support characters cannot exist as "support characters" to the lives of the lead ones. This is not how real life works where everyone has their own inner turmoil and is the centrepiece of their own story.

The story of course is undercut with a sense of tragedy. And an alien and a human together just isn't meant to be, at least one of the characters knows this at all times. Nonetheless, the show drives at your heart with some beautiful storytelling that also perhaps conveys a message about South Korea's rather relentless culture around its pop idols. One moment they are stars, the next they are falling from the sky into the abyss, replaced by the next brightest dot in the sky.

I'm a little mixed on the ending but it's still a terrific show.
