Shooting Stars--don't trust ratings. AT ALL

There's nothing too big to spoil nor is there any unexpected plot twists that make you go, "OH SHIT". Shooting stars has its premise: the love story between a pr team manager and a top actor. True to its premise, Shooting Stars aligns right with it from the first episode.

Which isn't the best choice, tbh. The first three episodes, don't really give you intrigue or any sort of interest piquing content. All we get is banter(not a spoiler)...which imo could've been even funnier if it was balanced with some mystery...or some sort of intrigue to the problems that our mcs will get into. And KYD's acting didn't help this drag either.

Following the humour, we finally delve into the plot that I was looking forward too. There's enough characters , just the right amount for you to catch up with. All of them have interesting storylines and I feel, pretty accurate. I, personally, loved the way they balanced the screen time and it made viewing quite enjoyable.

Pros of this drama? It gets better each episode. There's romance for all types. There's issues, but it doesn't drag for long. Its realistic, to a good extent. KYD's acting improves, the acting is done to the t for every role that every actor plays and i'm all here for it. The story is neat, predictable but not boring, and leaves you satisfied with a nice message. For the days you want to escape reality: Shooting Stars is your medicine.

Cons? As a writer, the lack of details bothered me. SO many opportunities to make the characters more nuanced. Storing pacing could've improved and the cheap shots of the first ep bothered me greatly. it was diff'cult to get into, but i don't regret continuing cause i was pleasantly surprised.

tldr: need a good romcom to get you off your stress? This one's actually good.
