Wow, I finally finished it. I have never written reviews before but I felt compelled to write a review since this does not have any reviews yet.This was the first Korean sitcom I watched and I gotta say that I generally loved it. The acting and the cast were superb and most of the episodes were exciting and interesting to watch despite being 120 episodes long.
As for the comedy, I generally found most of the episodes funny, although the laugh track was kinda getting old halfway through the series. The relationship between the lawyer and his wife had me laughing the whole series. This series is very light and fluffy so it was easy to watch.
The story is also very interesting and kept me watching the whole series, but there are a couple of holes that I just don't like. The first is Min Hyuk's memory loss (Why do all KDramas do this???) which I find unbelievable. I think the main reason why people don't like this series is because of its length and its ending. I will not spoil everything but the ending does not leave a sense of closure.
Overall, if you are into light and funny sitcoms and don't mind sitting through ~60 hours, I would recommend you watch it.

Loved it until last 2 episodes - ruined it - save your heart and stop before
it's been awhile so I can't go into too many details. But I remember the total devastation. And I watched it as it was airing. ...so it's been 8 years or so and I still remember it.It was probably the biggest disappointment of my drama watching life
The problem was I loved the drama so much. It was so adorable and cute. And the cast was great. And then whammo...last two episode
i might rewatch again...but I'd stop before the last 2 episodes.
the ML and FL are super super cute.
his brother who thinks he a child....super super cute..especially when the scene where he's trying to be "grown up"
the cast is really cute and most of the episodes made me feel all squishy
until the last 2 episodes. "last line of the penultimate episode....won't say here...but seriously show?

Feels like I am bidding farewell to my old friends.
Just concluded my journey with Potato Star, and it's hard to encapsulate the myriad of emotions stirred by the final episode on this 29th of January, 2024. This Korean sitcom has been a constant companion in my life for over a year, weaving its narrative threads into moments between exams and becoming a part of my routine.Over the span of 120 episodes, each lasting 30-35 minutes, I became deeply connected with the characters, making the farewell feel akin to parting ways with cherished friends. Despite my typical struggle with longer series, Potato Star defied expectations, its engaging storyline making every episode a worthwhile investment of time.
The ending, though laden with sadness and heartbreak, left a lasting impact, prompting me to assign the drama a 9 out of 10. The poignant conclusion added a layer of complexity to the narrative, and while it wasn't a perfect resolution, it undeniably contributed to the overall depth of the story.
Acknowledging the exceptional production quality, I find myself at the crossroads of satisfaction and nostalgia as I bid adieu to this captivating chapter. It's been a journey marked by emotions, making the experience of Potato Star a truly immersive and unforgettable ride!
