My Golden Star (2025)

Prime impressioni: davvero bella e promettente! Song Seung-heon, come sempre, non delude mai.

Ho iniziato a guardare My Golden Star e finora, dopo 4 episodi, posso dire che è una serie che conquista. La storia parte da un’idea molto particolare: una celebre attrice che, dopo essere scomparsa, si risveglia molti anni dopo in un corpo diverso, trovandosi a fare i conti con una vita che non le appartiene più. Questo crea una trama fresca, capace di alternare momenti comici a scene più emozionanti e profonde. La protagonista riesce a trasmettere al pubblico tutte le sfumature del suo personaggio, mentre il coprotagonista aggiunge equilibrio e complicità. Il ritmo degli episodi è scorrevole, non ci sono momenti morti e la curiosità cresce episodio dopo episodio. È un drama che sa divertire ma anche far riflettere, e che promette molto per il proseguimento. Song Seung-heon, con la sua interpretazione sempre solida e il suo carisma, non delude mai e dà un valore aggiunto alla serie.

What genre was this?

The tags: mystery, comedy, romance, drama
There was a mystery, but it was so convoluted and filled with so many players I lost interest. I'm still not real clear on why everyone was trying to kill her.
Comedy - there were some funny scenes
Romance - there was none, I'll be honest. They could have been brother and sister. And the ending with them standing far away from each other and laughing...what?!?! They laughed because they knew that us romance lovers would be mad that we didn't even get a kiss?
Drama - yes, it was mostly a drama, but in my opinion, was ruined by the casting of Uhm Jung Hwa. I have only liked her in one drama that I've seen her in. She tends to overact, and the constant loud sobbing was so irritating!

The younger version of the leads were excellent.
I liked the idea of him having liked her forever, but it went nowhere because of the lack of chemistry.
Lee El as the witchy second lead was excellent.
I love Cha Chung Hwa in everything she is in.

Hair and makeup - why did they have to make her look so ridiculous with the puffy hair and the bright pink cheeks. Very distracting.
Costuming - of my gosh, the FL's wardrobe was awful. She dressed like she had been dumpster diving for clothes.

Some people really liked this one, but I wasn't one of them. I'm glad I can move on (hopefully to something better).
