I really hope short dramas like these become more popular, because the lenght of these kind of dramas is just right especially for someone like me who doesn't have a lot of time. Unfortunately for now Koreans working in film making industry seem to not be the best at fitting a story into a short period of time probably because of their love for dramas that have a long running time. You might not even notice, but even 16 hours of the same story is really long! Star of the Universe is definitely not a masterpiece. The pacing when looking at the progresion of our two main characters' realationship is pretty bad, not to mention how weird the setting is in general. A die hard fan dating her idol is weird and very unnatural. I found myself thinking things like "You're not really in love with him" and "You just love the freedom you experience with her" which is not a good think if you're trying to write an engaging romance story, because I must want for them to be together! Funny enough they actually adressed this issue or a more accurate way of saying it would be that they touced the surface of the problem but I'm glad even for that. The other thing is that the story starts very slowly but then they rush the important things. It's like at the start the director thought that he was making a full lenght drama, taking the time to set up the story, but then realised that he somehow needs to make the romance believable even though so much time was wasted. Nonetheless I really liked the way it ended, because the story had some smart turns and the truth that time heals all wounds stands. Every drama where the characters got together out of nowhere feels ok by the end because you have seen them being all lovey dovey enough to believe it. It's really cheap but hey it works. What I appreciated a lot in this drama was the smart and really good looking cinematography and fitting music when it was really needed. This show here made me realise one important thing that I can't believe I missed. Adding a cheesy song on top of a romantic scene makes it really cliche thus failing to bring out meaningful emotions. I was so used to it that I even forgot how a good piano track makes a romantic scene shine but Star of the Universe reminded me of it and I'll be forever grateful. I loved Ji Woo, she is a good actress, but to be honest my liking for her is mostly because of her appearance. She has this subtle unique beauty to her that definitely stands out from the crowd. Kim Jun Myeon as you can probably guess is not the best at acting, he felt stiff and unnatural but not the worst. Overall Star of the Universe is a really good quick watch for people like me who have no time but desperately crave their romance drama, other than that it's pretty skippable, because it doesn't really offer anything new and does a poor job at presenting the story.
