My Star (2023)

The story is the most cliche rich boy fall for poor girl, but I think they made the process somewhat believable. at least it wasn't love at first sight!

The cast were okay, the acting was decent for the most part. (The fight scenes were such a joke and FL's acting was better than ML).
I think the leads were cute together and they had some sweet moments, but don't expect overflowing chemistry. (there were a few kisses as well)

Here is a list of what we have here:
-some rich family shenanigans for money
-not so annoying villains, with so-so screen time!
-slow burn (at least to me it was! they took their sweet time to fall in love)
-kidnapped FL (guess who saves her?)
-break up (lasted like half an episode! so not that bad but still, it's there)
-time skip!

The ost was nice, the songs ML sang were also okay. idk if it was his voice or not, but it was good.

it felt like the story was dragging too much sometimes so I did skip some bits here and there, but it wasn't to the point of boredom. could be because I watched all episodes all at once.
I think there is high possibility that I'll re-watch this drama. so I think it's safe to say it entered in my favorite list.

so is it worth watching?
if you haven't watched short dramas prior to this, you might not be so fond of this, but if you have, then you know you are entering a cliche fest with somewhat average pace.

Good for a short lenght drama

This one is actually pretty good for a low budget short drama…

The pace was pretty quick, every episode ended interesting.
The way FL and ML got together felt good.. I liked FL was mature, independent, busy with her own thing… not living for the ML like others do…
She finds her fiancee with some other woman and immediately breaks up… not looking back… because she has a healthy self estime … bravo girl! Well done… and no matter how much the parents were pressuring her to go back… she said No.

There is a clear age gap… not too long maybe 3/4 years? But it is acknowledged and actually one of the reasons why there are criticised as couple…
In the beginning ML looked very young, but later a bit less.

ML was cute and funny
The cousin, was the perfect villain… snob and arrogant…. Hater just because he can.
The song was pretty nice but over used throughout the series…

Overall, its a nice series… with a bit of rushed items as every short length drama is… but if they take the story and make it a normal length show… it would definitely succeed.
