Not it! The lowest rating I ever gave a KDRAMA!
When the Stars Gossip had such an intriguing setup—a romance set in space, promising something fresh and emotional. But what should have been a heartfelt, imaginative love story ended up feeling frustrating and messy.
The biggest issue by far was how the relationships were handled. There was so much potential for connection and tension, especially given the isolated setting, but instead, we got forced drama, miscommunication, and a storyline that leaned heavily into cheating, emotional betrayal, and toxic choices—without ever really resolving them in a meaningful way. It made it hard to root for any of the characters, and honestly, it made watching some scenes feel more exhausting than enjoyable.
The tone tried to juggle comedy and seriousness, but it didn’t land. Some moments felt completely disconnected from the emotional weight of what the characters were going through. The space station setting was underused, and by the end, it felt like they wasted a truly unique concept.
