2016 peak drama
This drama is iconic for a reason. It's not just a love story, it's pure magic.
Cheon Song-yi is one of the most unique and unforgettable female leads ever. She's loud, spoiled, brutally honest, and so funny - but also so lonely and vulnerable. Her character representation is just so good. You can't hate her even when she's being extra.
And Do Min-joon? He was literally born for this role. So handsome, so cold, so perfect for an alien who has lived for 400 years. The way he tries so hard not to fall for her but fails miserably is everything.
Their chemistry is insane. The comedy when she shamelessly chases him is hilarious, but the emotional scenes will make you cry.
And I have to talk about the second female lead - Yoo Se-mi. She is so beautiful, I've seen her in tons of dramas as a side character, but here she is the best second lead. You feel for her.
The plot twist, the thriller track, the OST, the fashion - everything about this drama has a different vibe. It's funny, heartbreaking, and fantastical at the same time.
An all-time classic. If you haven't watched it, you have to.
