This drama is complete romance from start to finish, with a lot of comedy too. After watching too many shows lately that are darker in story line, or more serious, Go Ho's Starry Night is a perfect break from all the current trends.
Go Ho herself is a character that is rather relatable. She shares a lot of herself throughout the drama, her highs and lows and her awkward encounters too. I like that even though she's suffered from heartache, she can still express her feelings honestly, even if they make her look a little shameless at points.
Without spoiling the story, there are several males vying for Go Ho's attention. They range in age, connection with her, position in their career, as well as physically. I like how the show makes a point in showcasing more than one side to each of these individuals and Go Ho being honestly surprised by these experiences. It again adds to her ability to be more relatable to the audience. I do like the humour connected to the men competing for her attention, but I do find it to be a little taxing at points. If I had of been Go Ho, I would have been turned off by it all, proclaim to be single instead of won... however she did seem a "little" oblivious to it, so I can see why it did continue for some time. Plus, I'm sure if any of us were in Go Ho's shoes, having Kim Young Kwang, Lee Ji Hoon and Shin Jae Ha trying to win you over, I think we'd have a hard time saying no! I love all three of them dearly, it was an internal struggle for who I was cheerleading for at points, though I will admit, I wouldn't have chosen who she did in the end... but that's because I was a sucker for Lee Ji Hoon's reasoning/storyline.
The light hearted nature of this show is mostly accepted, though it does seem to make the more serious scenes drag. Speaking of dragging, between Kang Tae Ho and Hwang Ji Hoon the choice in who she would pick seems to get a little out of hand. I appreciate both characters a lot, and to be honest, felt emotional connections to how both of them reacted to their own feelings, and to Go Ho... but I do feel Go Ho herself could have been more proactive in defining the line of when not to cross, and who she had chosen before the ending. Whilst I understand why it was that way, in my opinion, it got to be a bit of a stalemate for the show.
The story/writer element to this drama is one I really appreciated. Go Ho was able to showcase the ups and downs of life within her column, and I did like how it helped others as well, whether for enjoyment, or dating advice hah! Some of the best lines in this drama were the ones spoken, or written, for her column.
Overall this drama is a pleasant experience. Not only is there enough male eye-candy to keep any avid k-drama enthusiast watching, the fun cameos, friendship and office dynamics keep Go Ho's Starry Night at a lighthearted, enjoyable way to spend your day - it's very easy to start and finish in one day, it's what I did haha!
