This was my first KDrama and this was what set off my obsession with Korean Dramas. The hook of the show is the story hands down. Right from episode 1 to the very end, you stayed glued to the screen because of the way the story flows and the plot develops.
Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) who is an alien has been stranded off on earth since decades. He has led a relatively low key life, never drawing too much attention towards himself and his alien powers. This has not only kept him away from the public eye, but has also made him lead a pretty lonely life. He misses his home and wants to go back to his own planet especially because there is nothing tying him to stay on earth. Enters Chun Song Yi (Jun Ji Hyun), an eccentric and lively top rated actress whose life is always displayed out in the public with not a single moment of privacy. Despite all that, she is extremely lonely at heart. When the two meet, spark fly and despite the denial of the obvious chemistry between the two, the come close to heal each other's loneliness.
The story is set with a comical background with some heavy moments. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry and it will make you wonder about a lot of things.
