If your thinking about watching just do ??
I literally stayed up all night to finish this show just so I could write my review on it. This show for me is something that I could watch over and over again. sadly I don't have the power to erase my memories so that I could rewatch this show all over again and experience it for the first time but if I did have this power I would use it in a heartbeat for this show. I don't care what anyone else thinks I love how the Main couple interacts with each other. I love the way that they love each other so deeply that I could only dream of someone loving me the way that Do Min Joon loves Cheon Song Yi and vice verse. even at the end of the show song yi still waits for Do Min Joon even though he keeps disappearing, she is always there waiting for the day he returns she cherishes the moments she has with him like every day is their last. "My Love from the Star" Is now one of my favorite shows it has so many of the troupes I like such as a famous lead character, and a calm male lead, and I really loved how the show was a melodrama. I already know some people might not like the ending but I loved the ending I feel as though it fits the storyline perfectly because even if Do Min Joon can't stay on earth for long periods of time Min Joon and Song Yi can still be together even if it just short periods of time because the two of them cherise each other so much it doesn't matter how much time as long and they get to speed it together they are happy.Also, I really loved Song Yi's English phrase that she would randomly just say throughout the show it really added to the experience. I just really love the chemistry that the main actors had they really played the part. They literally had me crying with them during the final two episodes

Chemistry between the main characters was superb. I know they were in a movie together before this, so their affectionate scenes were very natural and sweet. I love them together and have been sending vibes into the universe for them to date or at least star in another drama together.
Watch this. I promise it's worth it.

Acting/Cast: Just perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better cast or acting. Soo Hyun & Ji Hyun were just amazing separately and wonderful together.
Music: I liked the music. LYn's "My Destiny" was soothing and suits the drama very well.
Rewatch Value: I would definitely watch the first like 10-15 episodes, but the last 5 episodes or so wasn't much of a rewatch value for me as it got a little slow
Overall: Overall it is still one of the better dramas that I really enjoyed watching. I would definitely recommend this drama for anyone that wants some some seriously funny, lighthearted, yet suspenseful drama.

The acting moved me to tears in some moments. It was really romantic sci fi drama!
The end is only thing I would change slightly... but overall I think I will watch it again for sure - this time with another box of tissues by my side again!

The acting in this was great! I thought all the characters were well-cast (though the mom does a great job of driving me nuts...but she plays the character well). It takes a while to really have the storyline in this hook you, but it wasn't too long before I was dying to know what happened next. I couldn't watch the episodes fast enough.

Kim Soo Hyun is out of this world
First of all, this is very well casted because Kim Soo Hyun is out of this world. Not only is he gorgeous, his acting is amazing. There are so many nuances just in his eyes alone. Absolutely mind-blowing.If you have read my love rant about "Are You Human, Too", it will come as no surprise to you, that I love "You Who Came From The Stars" as well. Honestly, is there anything better than chivalrous asexual aliens / robots / mythical creatures?
Since finishing this drama I've actually been thinking about this: In my experience...
- Men like the idea of female aliens or robots because they think they are exotic and will let you screw them
- Women like the idea of male aliens or robots because they think they are chivalrous and protective
Take from that what you want.
Anyway, back to the drama.
Cast & Characters
It took me a while to warm up to Cheon Song Yi. She will never be my favorite drama character because her clinginess and lack of pride were honestly a bit much. But I warmed up to her well enough to root for her and enjoy the drama. The main reason I'm not sure I'll rewatch the drama is her, though.
One could say Do Min Joon is a bit too stoic, but Kim Soo Hyun's portrayal of him is so nuanced (and adorable) that you can't help but fall for him in the very first episode.
I've loved Yoo In Na since "Secret Garden" but I definitely prefer seeing her in a nice girl role.
The moms' feud was rather annoying, to be honest. However, one of the things "You Who Came from The Stars" executed best, is the villain. Sure, it was very black and white and there were no good sides to him. But I honestly haven't hated a villain that much in a long time.
STEP AWAY FROM THE PUPPY!!
Plot
While predictable, the plot was still very enthralling and had me binge the drama within two days. I laughed out loud a few times and cried once or twice. There was definitely some squealing, too. What more do I need from a Kdrama?
Music
The OST was nice but did not blow me away.
My rating is mostly this high because of Kim Soo Hyun and the concept of this particular alien, let's be honest. But it is also a perfectly good a bingeable drama.

I've NEVER NEVER NEVER regret it!
This drama is funny, romantic, with a little bit of supernatural, ok, but not too much...
Jeon Ji Hyeon is absolutely adorable. Her character is super funny, and you can't not to love her.
And... KIM SOO HYUN!!! Do I have to say more???
Also the supporting characters are good, and the story, as I said before, is funny, but not crazy or demential.
I think I've watched it in more or less 5 days! And when I finished it I felt like an hole in my heart!
I strongly recommend this drama if you are in a romantic but funny mood! ^^

Bingable classic, meh storyline
To be honest this drama didn’t draw me in from the beginning, maybe because I had high expectations knowing it was a big hit 10 years ago. But like any kdrama I was binging the show after 3-4 eps.ML + FL are just beautiful and top actors, so I don’t think it would’ve have been as good if anyone else were casted. FL’s character was annoying but it was interesting to see her fall for an ISTJ character.
Alien storyline was interesting but lacked in detail with why DMJ became weak and could die, why he was healthy after returning home, how exactly he came back at the end. He had told FL that most people have 7-12 children on average, but told her mother that there are no families back on his planet… how does that work?
FL lead was left emotionally tormented and on edge over a guy, which is not exactly the best message to send. Same goes for the 2nd ML who never gets over CSY.
Unsatisfying ending but overall a good show to binge if you enjoy rom coms.

Just 9 years later…..
The story revolves around an alien who has been stranded on Earth for the past 400 years and finally has a chance of going home in 3 months, when he meets the once ‘nations sweetheart’, who disturbs his otherwise peaceful life, leading to a very very eventful love story.With this type of story it is so easy to become repetitive……and this drama unfortunately did just that. There was a lot of repetitive back and forth in almost all plot lines. I suspect this was done to stretch out the drama, because without it, 17 episodes would be enough.
The acting was honestly no issue at all, everybody knew what they were doing and the crying scenes of the male lead specifically spoke to my soul.
This drama was perfectly casted as a whole, and the female lead in particular perfectly embodies a woman that grew up in the acting industry, showered with endless praise as well as jealousy and greed. Her character is easy to dislike at the start of the drama but she just has this charm that grows on you.
Music isn’t that significant to the plot but it was good. The timing of the music as well as the songs themselves where good and worked well with the drama.
I don’t necessarily see myself rewatching this show, although I really enjoyed it.
Warning (small spoilers!!):
- the secrecy trope is used extensively throughout this drama and, although the reasoning behind this made sense, it still was kind of frustrating.
- There is a quite important side plot revolving around a murder.
- Slow burn, and the ml plays veeerrrry hat to get.
- so much crying/ overall dramatics (esp fl)
From the date it was made and the poster, you can tell the kind of drama this is; one of the classics that helped popularise the many tropes and cliches present in current kdramas.

***
If you are SUPER romantic and have a thing for supernatural drama, you will absolutely love this one. And even if you are not, it would be nice to watch, basically, for the main cast. But if you are seriously anti-romance, this will get to your nerves a little too much to handle on a binge-watch mode.All the male leads have done a great job. The female leads were also good. Maybe if Jun Ji Hyun didn't go over the top in some of the scenes, there would have been no flaw. Some of the moments which were supposed to explain a lot about Kim Soo Hyun coming to earth from the stars, staying for as long as he did, and what would happen if/when he goes back, did not deliver any meaningful explanation. Was that intentional to keep the mystery, I guess not, it left so much to be missed. But there were many points that would make up for what was missing, like the cinematography, the music, scenes and sets designs, all were very good indeed. And again, high marks for the cast.

Indeed, Jun JiHyun is so pretty and as talent as her reputation. She isn't the top actress for just her beauty. This drama wouldn't the same as it was without her in it. This was my first drama with her, and thank to this drama, I became her fan.
