I actually watched the first 9 episodes of this drama a few months ago, but since i was watching a few more better dramas at the same time, i dropped it for a while and eventually forgot about it. But i was glad that i picked it up again from where i left off and finished the drama at last.
It actually has a good storyline. It has quite an interesting plot and a unique setting as it was a story within the airport premises. As we know, there's quite a very few kdrama with this kind of work setting. It doesn't focus on the pilot nor the flight attendants, but more on the ground personnel of the airport, how they go about with their daily work routine, the different problems they encounter with passengers and flight conditions, etc. I can also sense some kind of promoting tourism for korea, which is, i think, a very good way of promoting one's country. What better way than in a globally popular kdrama world. And what makes this drama praiseworthy is their approach in every episode to educate the public in a much clearer way on the do's and dont's inside the airport. And a much noticeable way of how proud they (korean) are on how well Incheon airport personnel handle each problem or circumstances. This drama is all fiction but, having been at Incheon airport and South Korea myself, this is what, more or less, the reality out there. They really have good working habits.
As to the actors. Lee Jae Hoon, eversince i saw him in Tomorrow With You, he exudes this mysterious aura in him, that not many actors have. He may not be a "flowerboy" handsome like many actors but there's something in his face aura that will make you feel attracted to him (of course, im talking about my personal opinion). I really liked him in TWY and i love him even more here. And i think, he and Chae Soo Bin have one of the best love chemistry. I get fluttered when they hold hands, when they kiss, when he looks intensely in her eyes, and when they cry together. I can feel every emotions from them. Soo Bin, for me, is not the best korean actress but she is way way better than most actresses today. She can pull it off with any one she pairs with. When i saw her in I Am Not A Robot, i thought that she and Yoo Seung Ho have the best chemistry ever. But when i saw her in A Piece of your Mind, i thought, oh, she and Jung Hae In are much better pair. But now, i just finished with this drama, i thought again, oh, she and lee jae hoon is a pair to envy with. I think Chae Soo Bin, because of her cute aura, she can easily pull off a fluttering romance with any actors she is paired with. The OST are also very nice to hear. It will make your heart flutter more.

But inspite all that i mentioned above, i just gave this drama a score of 8, its because there were a lot of unanswered questions in my mind. Too many characters that has no ending and was left hanging. And the ending, the biggest question in my mind until now....

BIG SPOILER AHEAD.. (please dont read below if you dont want to know the end)


Although it has a happy ending, the big question is, why was Lee Jae Hoon's face was not seen on the last scene. It was only his back, but they never exposed his face. Why? I dont like endings like that. It makes me want to ask for one more episode.

Overall, i think its a very good drama to watch.

Need patience to watch this show

I started this show with not too much expectation but i was surprised. One thing was this was my first show where i could see airport operations. i am not sure i have ever seen people giving so much tough time at the security gate and i am a frequent flyer but i guess every country is different or may be it was just all made up. I liked the story and dedication of the leads towards each other. there are many nice lines and scenes i liked . It resonated a bit with everyday life of a human beings. Everyone has their own demons to fight and it was portrayed nicely in the drama. It is easy to tell someone to get over your fears but no one is without fears to them, their issue is the biggest. I was getting little worked up when both leads are keeping their secret to have the perfect memory of each other and then finally they went ahead and showed the side which can create lots of differences. I like all the characters in the drama very relatable and dialogues between the characters also made sense from time to time. When i was watching this i felt i have to visit this one more time as this is kind of slice of life type of story to me. Struggles showed here were real and i really liked that part. It has my positive vote.

Will love take flight?

He just wants to be ordinary. She’s anything but. It’s a rough start for these polar opposites, but as they interact more at work, can they become friends… & let love take flight?

This is a beautiful story about a man with a disability learning to accept himself & allow the woman he loves close enough to love him back.

The ML has always protected the FL, even before they officially meet. The scene of the first time he did it? Amazing! And all the times he protects her throughout the rest of the drama just make me love him so much! He’s so worth my swoons!

Even when he’s irritated with her at work he always steps in & helps her. There’s just something about her that draws him in which causes him much confusion.

For the FL, she’s intrigued by him. He seems like a walking contradiction to her with how he’s pulling her in one moment only to push her away later. But even as he confuses her, she’s drawn to him (& so am I!)

I enjoyed this look inside what it’s like to work in an airport. It was interesting & not something I’d thought of before.

The Leads are super cute together. I loved watching them go from being leery of each other to becoming one another’s person - the one they value, trust, & love above all others. They’re forced to go through a lot of hard stuff so I’m glad they got the ending they deserved. 💜💚

And, I won’t give much detail, but the whole portrayal of living with a disability & trying to hide it to protect yourself - I feel it was really nicely done. I also appreciate how they showed how it can be for both the one who has the disability & for the one who loves them. It brings struggles to each person, that’s just a fact. But disabilities in no way render a person unworthy of love so I’m glad they showed that message accurately.

As a HUGE bonus, we see Rowoon as the SML & Nam Da Reum as the young ML.🩵

A Simple drama with a cozy feeling to it. I wasn't going to watch it at first, as the description wasn't that appealing. Also, the first episode was just so so, with nothing interesting to display. However, the story had more to it than just Incheon employees. The robot parts twist was entertaining at first, as it was fascinating to try to figure out what was happening and why he had super human strength. Then, when it was explained properly his story, it became more humain and closer to a slice of life drama than a fantasy. However, I found the leading character dull. Not that the actor did a bad job with his performance. But the character was only presented as a man who hated his currant condition and was in love with the leading lady. So, that and the ending too. Too many stories were left open, questions were left unaswered and the final scene wasn't satisfying.

slowburn, nice for light watching but lacking in a few areas

i watched the whole thing. it's definitly slow-burn and the romance part is quite nice.
the whole plot has some flaws though. it's in some parts really uneccessary (too many flashbacks without new info) and some not detailed enough. character casting was nice as well as the acting within their roles. some of the characters made me want to twist their heads off - so, acting was a success on that part. Character development was lacking in some points though. same with their communication (but then again, when has that ever worked well in dramas).
regarding the male main lead's (mML) arm and leg situation: i liked the support-instead-of-replacing method (looks nice as well) but then again the super strength doesn't make sense - the devices are just supporting and moving his human body and mucsles. there is no plausible reason or possibility to gain the strength ability though the stability factor is somewhat more believable depending on the material.....
the ending? oh boy what a dissapointment. very rushed and nonsensical in the way that it left out basically ALL the information needed to leave the viewer satisfied.
not showing the mML's face - whyyyyy?
leaving so many questions unanswered - what's with the brother, the vice director, job changes among the workers there, the bad guys.... come on!!!?

overall i'd say the drama was ok. would i rewatch? maybe not the whole thing, definitly not the ending but maybe the good bits. do i regret watching it? not necessarily. it's got way too many episodes for the fact that it is missing so much information but at least they're quite short. and it was not completely unentertaining :) (plus some of the cast members are nice eye candy).

This was the drama that lent me to start with dramas again after a long hiatus. I loved it, I loved Rowoon because he made me fall in love with SF9 right after the last episode of the show was aired and I also started my huge love for Lee Je Hoon, I don't know why he is so underrated because outside being a gorgeous man is also a good actor, so please, give him some real love!!!
I really appreciated the mix between real life and fantasy (no spoiler, I know!) but also the adding of the personal anxiety issue, something that I've never found in other dramas!
The plot is also something new and different, and the two main actor chemistry was adorable, the end was a little fastforwareded and i know that 'im not the only one who noticed it. But beside this, it was a really good drama, that needs a trry!

Acting was top notch but the plot could be improve

First of all, its Lee Je Hoon and Chae Soo Bin so you would have expect a top notch acting. The chemistry between both of the ML and FL is good imo. They really carry the show from episode 1 till the end. I almost drop this drama from the first two episodes cause I dont like how Han Yeo Reum character, I found that she is not understandable and has no care of other. But Lee Seo Yeon keep me tied up. Im curious on Lee Seo Yeon back story so thats why I stay.

Some note on other character, I found that there is not much SLS in this drama. Rowoon character, Go Eun Seob didnt really bring much spices or turbulence to the ML and FL love story. To sum up, Im okay if the character is not there imo. The only notable characters in this drama other than ML and FL are Oh Dae Gi and Na Yeong Ju. I found myself waiting and anticipating for their love story to develop. I could relate so much to Na Yeong Ju, its like seeing myself in a mirror.

The story is pretty much good at first and keep me interested as I have never watch any drama portraying the work life in airport. so I could say that is a fresh story line for me. Im hoping to see more of how they operate the airport without unnecessary gangster storyline(?) that one thing im confused. The gangster and the brother story line didnt bring anything to the story for me. There is so much loophole in this area.

The ending. omg im confused.

It seemed to be something different and innovative but

At first I was immediately hooked. I loved the story and each of the characters seemed to have an interesting story. But I think that halfway through the story everything seemed a bit pointless and lost.

But for me what made me give this type of rating were the final episodes
It seemed very rushed to me and I honestly didn't understand that ending. Why hide his face? what was the point? Not to mention that they didn't explain anything about what happened with him.
Unfortunately, it's not a drama I would recommend. Of course, if you have nothing else to see, it's good enough to pass the time.

good drama not that bad

if you're looking for drama to change your mood, with simple story this one is for you.
the drama started very well. from episode 13 the drama started to get boring .
it was a good drama, i got really emotional whenever Soo-yeon cries or talk about that he wants to live a normal life. yeo-reum personality was cute and ambitious girl although she get into my nerve sometimes.
my fav characters in the drama were Dae Ki and Yeong Joo they were so cute. that's it
" everything in life happens for a reason"

Great drama! Where Stars Land is a series that presents the lives of workers at Incheon Airport and conflicts with passengers and coworkers as well as the romance that ensues between Han Yeo Reum and Lee Soo Yeon. There is mystery, action, airport related conflicts, and romance. Apart from having a good storyline and great actors, the lead couple, Lee Je Hoon (as Lee Soo Yeon) and Chae Soo Bin (as Han Yeo Reum), has great chemistry. The story is interesting and Lee Je Hoon rendered his character brilliantly! Although it has a happy ending that could’ve been better, the drama is a really entertaining. Enjoy it!

Hmmm... I found this drama cute by mehhh. For me it had a lot of potential but somehow it didn't work out. I'm not really sure why though.

It was interesting to have a drama wherein the setup was the airport. I mean, it was nice to see a change in setting since in dramaland they usually have it in offices, schools, hospitals, etc. It made me also reminisce the pre-pandemic times, wherein it was really easy to travel :( But honestly, I found it weird that they didn't really optimize the work setting of the drama. I think the only jobs the leads got where transfer the transbarriers and always check for illegal banners lol. Yeah I know they also handled different things but come on, the writers could have used their jobs to improve on the plot.

The thing that I really loved about this drama are the characters. I don't know but I found them really interesting. I could have watched a whole episode of back stories for each character and I wouldn't really mind. Especially the 2 second leads, they are so cute together :"> Also, this is the drama that made me appreciate Rowoon hahaha I don't know why but before I just find him meh but in this one he was really good. I love the 2 male leads also. I think the only character i didn't like is Seo Inwoo. I just found him really annoying. It's like do you care about your brother and father or nah? If by pretending you are mad at the world is how you protect them then why was he acting like an ass during the beginning until more than half way of drama??? Like make up your mind bruh.

Anyway, those are my two cents for now. Unto the next one.
