You Who Came From the Stars

You Who Came From the Stars - Series Review

It’s been ages since You Who Came From the stars ended. Somehow I couldn’t bring myself to write a review about it. Was I sad that I am no longer a crazy person on a Wednesday and Thursday? Well, I defiantly don’t miss being crazy, But I do miss seeing Kim Soo Hyun’s face on a weekly basis. But more than that, the ending of the drama left me kind of empty inside.

Spoilers ahead!

Lesson learnt: So all aliens look like Korean and they can miraculously speak Korean  So, Alien lands on earth during the Jeoson era and is stuck here for the next 400 years. He, Do Min Joon meets actress Choi Syen Yi, who also conveniently happens to be his new neighbour and a love story ensures. Throw in a pyschopathic killer, two second leads who are hopelessly in love with the wrong person, lots of laughter, kisses and tears, you have You Who Come From the Stars.

My Verdict : I absolutely loved this drama.

I am not going to talk much about the leads and storyline since there is nothing much to say about the leads, expect that they rocked and they sizzled on screen. The ending regarding the whole wormhole thing came out of nowwhere. But I really dint care about it, since I just wanted a happy ending. But if you look at it logically, it seemed to be thrown at us. I am sure, no one watching the drama was expecting a wormhole to solve the whole problem.

This drama had the right mix of romance, comedy and tragedy. The characters were brilliant though I am not really sure the point of Se Mi. She seemed like she could have been a strong character but she later was just an annoying filler. I am not really sure what exactly happened mid-way to the second leads. Cause booth Se Mi and Hee Kyung purpose in the drama seemed to have been diverted. But once the drama ended and I was able to analyse their character traits, I realized that they seemed to be the most human. And they recovered themselves in a realistic way. Like Se Mi realized that she wants Hee Kyung by her said always even if he is just a friend. She has made her peace with that, while Hee Kyung has become Syen Yi’s buddy. The one who is always by her side and she can be comfortable around him knowing he is not pining for her.

For those who did not know, You who came from the stars released an extended epilogue which was cut off since the drama ran out of time. Here is it…

Gu Family Book - Season 2 Questions Answered

The Finale of the hit KDrama, The Gu Family Book or Kang Chi, The Beginning left lot of things unanswered. I for one was fuming and you can see my review of the Gu Family book Here. Incase you want to know the short version of my rant, its that I have never felt this unsatisfied and betrayed by any drama till date. Anyhow, though I was not able to find the source, I did read in one of the forums of how the writer had started out the series with a Season 2 in mind. However, this aint happening! :( This might be why the story felt more like the beginning rather than a whole package. But this is my speculation. But what is not speculation is that the Production house have decided not to have a season 2 for the Gu Family Book... yet. Things might change and I hope to God that they do. But until then, I am left with FanVids of Gu Family Book 2.

10 Best Scenes of Goblin: The Lonely and Great God 도깨비

If you are an avid Goblin addict then you must be flipping tables 'cause of the cancelled episode. But I am calming myself down by telling myself that there are 3 episodes next week. That's right episode 15 and 16 will be back to back! Just another 5 days to go! Goblin made me realize that 1 knight in shining armour is never enough ;) But enough about my fantasies and let's go down to the best scenes from Goblin. Note: I have seen many, many previews and trailers but I have to say that Goblin trailers and preview do not do justice to the drama. While watching the promos, I was hardly motivated to watch the drama if not for Gong Yoo. Same goes for the previews. Thank the Goblins, I decided to watch this explosive series. It was manically difficult for me to make this list. But I finally got it down to the most meaningful scenes 10. Photo Time: If you ignore the product placement of Canon, the feels in this scene can make you smile. Taking photos usually means tra...

Healer - Kim Moon Shik's Evolution to the Dark Side.

The problem with watching a drama like Healer is that it spoils you for all other dramas. You start having expectations so high that from there on only a handful of dramas are able to fulfll them. I started watching Healer seeing its similarity to City Hunter but expect for a few details, Healer is more satisfying a drama and much better scripted keeping the suspense and the fun till the end. All characters are well written, but the most interesting of them is Kim Moon Shik (KMS). When starting out this drama, I was certain that KMS was the villain. The PD did the awesome job of maintaining the mystery of the 1992 incident up until episode 18 which was primarily the reason it took me this long to actually figure out KMS's motive. We all know he did not start off as the bad guy but somewhere down the lane, lost his path. Up until episode 17, we see flashes of the past that gives us hints of Moon Shik's love for his friend's girlfriend. We were lead to assume th...
