I honestly only started watching My Love From the Stars because Ahn Jae Hyun was in it, and all of my friends that watch Korean dramas kept persisting for me to watch it. And I am honestly glad that I did watch it. I don't usually like Sci-Fi related movies, dramas, etc, so I wasn't expecting to love this drama as much as I did. It was amazing from start to finish, and I'm glad my friends convinced me to watch this. By reading the synopsis of the drama, I was slightly skeptical of what was going to happen, but it was great. I also really liked the fact that Do Min Joon tried to keep this identity as scarce as possible, only revealing it when needed, and that worked perfectly with the story. Although it took me a couple of weeks to finish it as I had also anime to watch and school to attend, the plot and what was going on always remained with me until I watched the next episode. Each episode is something new and exciting, and is also very memorable. In my opinion, the acting choices were almost perfect. Kim Soo Hyun's character of Do Min Joon is described as near perfection, and that's exactly correct. I fell in love with Min Joon the second he said his first words. He's flawless and I wouldn't change a thing about him. Kim Soo Hyun's acting of Min Joon has even pushed me to want to take a degree in Psychology. I also loved Jeon Ji Hyeon, Park Hae Jin and Shin Sung Rok's acting. It was amazing, and I loved their acting (although I really hated Sung Rock's character of Jae Kyeong most of the time). And of course, I loved Ahn Jae Hyun's acting of Song Yi's younger brother - Yoon Jae. However, there were two acting choices I wasn't all that pleased with. The first one was Yoo In Na's acting of Se Mi. I've seen her roles in previous dramas, and I've loved her in those, but in My Love From the Stars, I didn't like it as much. And it didn't help that I didn't like her character either. The other acting choice I wasn't happy with was Kim Hyun Soo who played both Song Yi's younger self and Seo Yi Hwa (the girl from 400 years ago). She got extremely annoying, repetitive, and I just couldn't stand her. The music is general is amazing. It reminds me so much of Secret Garden, and their soundtracks were splendid. Even though this is usually the most popular soundtrack, My Destiny by LYn is definitely my favourite. It's such a great listen, and it brings lots of feels - both sad and happy. I would definitely watch this again. If I could, I would put it above doing anything else, but as life is, I can't exactly do that. I have many things to do and watching My Love From the Stars isn't a priority anymore (as I have finished it). In conclusion, besides two unhappy acting choices, this drama is simply awesome and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good drama. I could even recommend this to my friends who don't watch Asian dramas. I understand fully why my friends love this, as I also love it with a passion.
