I’m really disappointed at the drama fans. I crossed my finger and hoped for this NOT to be like the japanese Starman. However my hopes were crushed when I found a story full of cliché, and poorly written. Yes girls, same old Disney plot painted differently. We have the perfect PRINCE CHARMING and the princess who needs his help every once in a while. How dreamy.

I’m really so sad to see so many good reviews ignoring the fact that this drama left many questions unanswered. I’ll talk about the two main ones that bothered me. First, the whole issue with her father was just empty. Not to mention that their relationship makes you wonder if the writer knows about how interpersonal relationships work. Second, Do Min Joo was just the perfect (robotic) being and this drama, sadly, portrayed him like an object, for the drama ends and we know nothing about him except that he is an alien and has some powers. I could write a book about all the questions I had about him, THE main lead. How can we permit this!!!!

Love is portrayed like something so dreamy and flawless once you are finally with that person. Their attachment to life and their love makes me conclude that at the end they won’t accept that nothing is forever. Of course we want a happy ending, but what we mean by this (at least I) are happy, fulfilled characters…not poorly unrealistic endings (even if it was a fantasy drama).

About the special effects I have to say I liked them very much, they were very good. The acting was just good, nothing special really I did wished for some real tears. The main leads are impossible not to love, she is so cute and he is adorable. I didn’t see that much chemistry between them but I won’t touch the subject or else I’ll unleash the fury of some. There are some unforgettable moments too ;) (kisskiss) Anyways, the first half of the drama was entertaining but if you are like me, a drama fan that is hard to please and likes to ask questions, just keep in mind what I just said.

Sometimes it's good to put aside those romance dramas and give a chance to those about encouragement. Since this is my first review I'll be brief. This drama is about courage, it's all about hope and all the struggling for a dream. It's a fresh story and as usual from the Japanese dramas it's warm. Every character is very much unique and you'll possibly feel related to one of them because they are all very different. The chemistry between characters grows stronger as the story progresses. Or course, Amami Yuki is great as always, well, better I think.
The drama has a good sense of humor that increases on each episode. The episode doesn't end and you may find yourself searching for the next one. Most of the music is old but they are really good and suitable with each situation they go through. It's a dorama worth having in your list.

Well, the drama started out pretty good and then...it turned boring. That what happens when love is instanly, effortlessly born. Since I think I wasted my time I will say some rude stuff. >.<

The story is original and they could've made something big with it, but they did not. Some scenes were ridiculous, and I refer more to the reactions of the characters.

The female lead had some fidelity issues that were left untouched. She makes Hoshio stand by her just because it makes her happy, forgetting about what he may feel or think. Instead of meditating on her selfishness noou she just makes a fuss about it. About Hoshio, well, let's just say I only liked him when he was not Hoshio.

There is poor character development, except for a few side characters, which are pretty good. That old couple was my favorite and kept me watching till the end.

Finally, the story's end is very much like a telenovela. So those of you who've watched an hispanic telenovela may know what i'm talking about. ;)
