Basically this drama is about a women who works at an advertising company as she enters a crossfire of various love interests including her ex-boyfriend. Despite this, it's a hilarious comedy that looks into how she copes with her work and personal life.
The Good
Can I give a huge hug to the writers for not dragging on this drama at all compared to like 99.99% of the other dramas i watched?? Like damn, considering the 20 episodes- one wouldve thought that 'oh no... there must be some dragging on going around' but don't be deceived! Each episode is around 20 min; hence the reason why there are 20 episodes, but there is never a dull moment!
I seriously loved the storyline as everything gets resolved at the end and the main character isn't as annoying as other female leads. The actors and actresses were spot on! I loved their chemistry and their acting as they got along pretty well and portrayed their character well!
The music was fun and light and all the tracks were enjoyable!
The Bad
There's not much to say about the bad- but imho, i think that whenever there was a 'sick' scene where someone is coughing or sneezing- it was very obviously fake and not well done. I would prefer if they could somehow made the sneezing and coughing scenes not as forceful.
Overall? This drama really is good since it's light and not as melodramatic. If you want something to pass time with or something that doesnt make your brain hurt too much, i seriously recommend this drama!

This was my first time seeing any of these actors. I would very much like to see the actress that played Go Ho do another rom-com. I thought she was quite good. I was also taken with the main male lead. He was quite cute at displaying his jealousy for Go Ho. And I think the chemistry between the leads was believable. I didn't care as much for the second lead, as he just didn't convey any emotion in my eyes. The other side characters, vying for Go Ho's affections are interesting and keep it fun.
The music didn't stand out much, but suited the mood of the scenes.
I think this is a good weekend watch and wouldn't even mind seeing it again.

What I liked: While the male lead is brusque, he's not mean, which is a trope that I see slowly going by the wayside (though there are still plenty of dramas with this trope to be found). The male lead just feels like a grown-up, and he won't play with the second lead, he doesn't need to compete, and it's really intriguing (and dare I say hot?) when that kind of confidence isn't confused with arrogance. Also, they don't mess around for too long, doing the usual kdrama dance of "I don't like you" and "You don't like me," they get to it pretty quickly, at least from the viewer's perspective, keeping the right characters in the dark for just the right amount of time-- not so long it's frustrating, not so soon you're bored.
You'll never root for a main couple harder than in this one. I only wish it'd been a bit longer because I just didn't want it to end. I'll follow this writer and director anywhere.

Not for me..
Giving it 5 stars is me being generous. The only thing I liked about this show is Kim Young Kwang (Kang Tae Ho). I skipped most parts after Episode 5 and I only watched Kang Tae Ho's parts. I wanna drop it but KYK is so adorable that I had to see it until the end. Maybe this show is not for me. I found a lot of inappropriate/ uncomfortable scenes (especially the Hoobae/ cutie guy part). Could have been better. Watched it because I thought it's interesting but it's kind of disappointing. Still KYK sceness are so cute .Was this review helpful to you?
Go Ho's starry night is one of those feel good dramas that makes you crave more after every 20 minute episode, plus the cast were totally spot on
Kim Young Kwang and Yuri's chemistry was on fire, and I was very surprised by how amazing Yuri was! Excellent in her role, you'd actually forget she is an idol. Hope to see her in more dramas in the future.
The web drama is also scheduled to air on Korean television in the near future. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves

Is there a living creature that didn't desire Go Ho!?
I am seriously amazed by the reviews, even more since i saw lots of k dramas...Story? - there is none... a girl who had a dream...maybe living in Hawai after retirement or commercials that can touch someone hearts?
Characters
Go Ho - abandoned by her boyfriend without any explanation, even goes to jail for stalking him. The boyfriend that leaves her due to finacial problems (maybe in Korea, poor people can't be in love) returns and, without explaning why, wants to start all over (because now he has money?). After all this, she rate him 5/5 stars as a person.
So, she is flooded by lots of guys wanting her. In the middle of this, there is one that falls in love since he saw her. Ok. He is very timid, supports a lot of frustration and helps her without any compensation and even without her knowledge. But then, he becames silly and starts to do lots of stupid and childish things.
Don't know who wrote this drama and if koreans have different ways of dealing with hormones. In some dramas, kissing is like proposing. Here, they kiss, they are always grabbing Go Ho's arm and touching her. Maybe if they were ugly, she could think this is sexual harrassment or even the reviewers...
When i finished yesterday the drama i was bored to death. Even with short episodes i think it's too long and i made myself watch until the end...
ACTING - it is ok
REWATCH - never

Cute fun romcon
Go Ho's Starry Night started out great!! Seems like the perfect romcom has a beautiful cast, the acting overall was good. Off we go the first five episodes really loving it, got comfy and settled for what I hope would be a great memorable short series, Loved that the episodes were short and to the point, however, after a while with the 4 guys in the office going after the one girl it got boring and tedious. The fire started to sizzle for me at episode 8... nevertheless, I held on for 9 more episodes, hoping the plot would pick up or there would be some sort of development with at least one of the suitors, but alas that was not to be.. By the end of episode 18, my brain was fried, the same cycle with each episode, my brain was screaming it couldn't watch anymore. So to as to prolong my agony I skipped to the last episode to see who she decided to choose... For a romcom, there was no direction nor progress. It was short, but felt really long.. I fast forward the episode 19, was ready for it to end. Seriously the ex's explanation what was that??? who was that random guy on the park bench between her and her bother?Was this review helpful to you?
It may because i am biased by my culture, but almost every episode has a scene where it would be considered as sexual harassment or office power abuse.
Maybe because i am seeing in certain light but i couldn't accept any male characters behaviour towards females.
Also, always wondering why females characters taking males characters sh*t.
I somewhat enjoyed this drama but can not give anything more than 3 start.

thought provoking if nothing else
this was thought provoking if nothing else.The primary conflict revolves around the FL. Will she find a date?
That's basically all there is to it. The potential male suitors are varying degrees of mediocre to awful. You've got the slob that had negative social and emotional IQ. The ex that is told No, the FL is not interested on at least three occasions, but still inserts himself into her personal life (while being her manager).The junior that is told No a couple times but keeps harassing the FL and propositioning an intimate relationship. And lastly, the long term manager with a temper and strange power relationship.
Just ignore the brother and mother. they are meaningless to the story and never developed as characters.
The story is happy feel-good introspection interspersed with awful harassment of the FL. It reached a pinnacle when the various male love interests setup a scoring rubric to give themselves the privilege of asking out the FL for dinner. wtf?
Wish the FL quit the job, cut all of them out and leveraged her newspaper column to work as a writer. She deserved more than a shitty marketing agency that has rampant sexual harassment.
