Best. Drama. Ever. The writing was the most concise and moving. The love story the most convincing. The humor was top notch and clever (Jun Ji Hyun was the funniest female character in a drama I've seen). The chemistry was unmatched. The couple the most adorable. The consistently excellent plot line and dialog never wavered. The love between Min Joon and Song Yi was palpable. Each episode grew the relationship and was thoroughly convincing. The writers didn't hold back on the emotions growing stronger and pulling us into those emotions.
There were so many clever dialog scenes at the end of each episode where the protagonists spoke directly to us that helped us understand something that had happened within the episode. They were wonderfully illuminating, funny or maybe even sad but it was those kind of touches that made this drama special, with a pinch of added flavor which will make it hard to forget. Everything about it felt like steak over other K-dramas hamburger.
There have been quite a few stellar K-dramas lately, "I Need Romance 3," "Heirs," Emergency Couple" to name a few. But if I'm pointing an interested party toward their first K-Drama, this is the one. This one will hook them, reel them in and have them coming back for more. I really believe this one sets a new benchmark for other dramas to reach for. Everyone involved in K-drama world, you've been put on notice. "You Who Came From the Stars" has upped the ante and we are all spoiled now.
