My Love from the Star Review

“My Love from the Star” is a cultural phenomenon that absolutely deserves its legendary status. Jun Ji-hyun is spectacular as Song-yi, fearlessly embracing the character’s vanity, vulnerability, and comedic timing with infectious charm that carries the entire show. Kim Soo-hyun perfectly balances alien detachment with growing warmth, though Jun Ji-hyun truly steals every scene. The chemistry sizzles despite the frustrating constraint that kissing makes him deathly ill, adding tension to their romance. Villain Shin Sung-rok delivers genuinely creepy menace. Yes, at 21 episodes it drags occasionally with repetitive scenarios, and some plot conveniences strain credibility. However, the gorgeous cinematography, hilarious dialogue, emotional depth, and satisfying if slightly confusing, ending make this irresistibly entertaining. It’s funny, romantic, thrilling, and the perfect gateway drug into K-drama addiction. Absolutely iconic.
