My Love from the Star (Korean: 별에서 온 그대; RR: Byeoreseo on geudae; literally You Who Came from the Stars) is a South Korean romantic fantasy television series, which aired on SBS from December 18, 2013 to February 27, 2014. The series, which ran for 21 episodes, is directed by Jang Tae-yoo, written by Park Ji-eun, produced by Moon Bo-mi and Choi Moon-suk and features an ensemble cast starring Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Soo-hyun, Park Hae-jin and Yoo In-na. The story is about an extraterrestrial alien who landed on Earth in the Joseon Dynasty
and, 400 years later, falls in love with a top actress in the modern
era. This is the second collaboration between Kim and Jun, who
previously worked together in the heist film The Thieves. It is also Jun's small screen comeback after 14 years.[2]
The series was given generally positive reviews during its release in South Korea and received several accolades across Asia. Jun won the Daesang (or "Grand Prize"), the highest award for Korean television, at the Baeksang Arts Awards and the SBS Drama Awards, as did Kim at the Korea Drama Awards.
Do Min-joon (Kim Soo-hyun) is an alien that landed on Earth in the year 1609, during the Joseon Dynasty.
As he saves a young girl named Yi-hwa from falling off a cliff, he
misses his trip back to his planet and is stranded on Earth for the next
four centuries. He possesses a near-perfect human appearance, enhanced
physical abilities involving his vision, hearing and speed, and a
cynical, jaded view regarding human beings. As he never ages, Min-joon
is forced to take on a new identity every ten years, having been a
doctor, astronomer, lawyer, and banker, and now presently working as a
college professor.
Cheon Song-yi (Jun Ji-hyun)
is a famous Hallyu actress, having attained stardom since middle
school, however her haughty demeanor has earned derision in the
entertainment industry and social media. Furthermore her spendthrift
mother has mismanaged her finances, while younger brother Cheon Yoon-jae
(Ahn Jae-hyun) is estranged by her success. Lee Hee-kyung (Park Hae-jin)
has been Song-yi's friend since middle school and remains in love with
her while being continually rejected. In turn, Yoo Se-mi (Yoo In-na),
who is frequently cast as a supporting actress alongside her childhood
best friend Song-yi, has had a crush on Hee-kyung since middle school
despite her love being unrequited. As a result Se-mi secretly harbors a
deep jealousy towards Song-yi for standing in the way of her career and
love interest.
With only three months left before Min-joon's long-awaited
departure back to his planet of origin, Song-yi suddenly becomes his
next-door neighbor in the condominium. Slowly, Min-joon finds himself
entangled in Song-yi's crazy and unpredictable situations, saving her
multiple times using his special powers, and eventually acting as her
manager due to his vast legal knowledge. He finds out that she at a
young age resembles Yi-hwa whom he fell in love with 400 years ago in
the Joseon era. Min-joon and Song-yi eventually fall in love; Min-joon
aims to leave Earth without being emotionally attached he tries but
fails to keep himself away from her, while Song-yi initially is not
understanding of his impending departure but ultimately accepts letting
him go to assure his survival.
Song-yi's career goes into a downturn as she is dropped by her
talent agency and sponsors, due to a backlash against her recent
behavior, particularly exacerbated by rumors that she caused the suicide
of her arch-rival, actress Han Yoo-ra. Earlier at a celebrity wedding
Song-yi had witnessed Yoo-ra in a secret relationship with Lee Jae-kyung
(Shin Sung-rok),
the elder brother of Hee-hyung. Consequently Jae-kyung tries to silence
Song-yi until Min-joon brokers a deal to spare her in return for
burying the evidence. But Jae-kyung turns out to be much more dangerous
than Min-joon suspected, learning to exploit Min-joon's weaknesses, and
even injuring Se-mi's older brother, a prosecutor investigating Yoo-ra's
suicide. Min-joon, despite being discrete in using his special
abilities eventually get the attention of police, while also losing
control of his powers as his departure date nears. While jealous of
Min-joon for winning Song-yi's heart, Hee-kyung nonetheless works
together with him to protect her from Jae-kyung.
