The story revolves around an alien who has been stranded on Earth for the past 400 years and finally has a chance of going home in 3 months, when he meets the once ‘nations sweetheart’, who disturbs his otherwise peaceful life, leading to a very very eventful love story.

With this type of story it is so easy to become repetitive……and this drama unfortunately did just that. There was a lot of repetitive back and forth in almost all plot lines. I suspect this was done to stretch out the drama, because without it, 17 episodes would be enough.

The acting was honestly no issue at all, everybody knew what they were doing and the crying scenes of the male lead specifically spoke to my soul.

This drama was perfectly casted as a whole, and the female lead in particular perfectly embodies a woman that grew up in the acting industry, showered with endless praise as well as jealousy and greed. Her character is easy to dislike at the start of the drama but she just has this charm that grows on you.

Music isn’t that significant to the plot but it was good. The timing of the music as well as the songs themselves where good and worked well with the drama.

I don’t necessarily see myself rewatching this show, although I really enjoyed it.


Warning (small spoilers!!):

- the secrecy trope is used extensively throughout this drama and, although the reasoning behind this made sense, it still was kind of frustrating.
- There is a quite important side plot revolving around a murder.
- Slow burn, and the ml plays veeerrrry hat to get.
- so much crying/ overall dramatics (esp fl)


From the date it was made and the poster, you can tell the kind of drama this is; one of the classics that helped popularise the many tropes and cliches present in current kdramas.
