"You who came the stars" is your typical drama, riddled with the all the cliches; chaebol family, lavish apartments, unnecessary evil people, unnecessary side characters, unrequited love blah blah.
However, it still managed to be entertaining with the sci-fi twist and of course the star of the show Jun Ji Hyun- whom I believed if wasn't casted as main lead, this drama would be such a big hit.
She brings something new and fresh as a main lead, is so relatable,, fun,and absolutely HILARIOUS - like laugh out loud funny. Another thing I like is how managed to bring a lot of depth to her character - which I feel is something not a lot of mainstream actresses are able to do with their roles.
Kim Soo Hyun I think was pretty decent, he seemed a bit too stoic and dull at times,I understand he was supposed to be an Alien but I would have appreciated if he came to life more on screen and gave us versatility.
There is great chemistry and some really touching moments between the two main leads without it ever being too over-dramatic and cheesy.
Overall it was a very enjoyable drama, with a great leads and some golden moments which saved it from being an all around cliche fest.
