A Sweet Enemies-to-Lovers Rom-Com
One of the first reasons I enjoyed Sh**ting Stars so much is because I really like the male lead. I think he’s a great actor, and his voice is very calming, which made watching his scenes even more enjoyable. The female lead is also very beautiful and I loved her acting. Together, they had a strong enemies-to-lovers vibe, which made sense since they clearly liked each other from the beginning.
Their misunderstanding from the past caused real emotional distance, especially for the FL, while the ML kept trying to get her attention in very childish and annoying (but cute) ways. It took some time, but eventually he confessed properly, and from there their relationship slowly became more confident and comfortable. In the beginning, both of them are shy and nervous, which comes across as very cute rather than cringe, mainly because the acting is good and natural. As the episodes go on, that awkwardness fades and their chemistry becomes even stronger.
This drama is quite romance-focused and includes several couples. The lawyer and the FL’s friend are actually quite compatible since they have similar personalities, but their relationship felt rushed. Considering he had feelings for the FL before, it seemed like he moved on very quickly. As for the other friend’s romance, I personally found that couple quite cringe. I’m not sure about the exact age difference, but she felt very young compared to him, and her overly “cute” behavior didn’t help. I also didn’t feel much chemistry between them, which made their scenes harder to enjoy.
In the first episodes, the storylines involving the “fake employee” and the ML’s mother were very interesting and emotionally heavy. From a psychological point of view, these were strong arcs that showed how much the ML had suffered. However, those topics were resolved in a strange and somewhat rushed way, and then completely dropped as the drama shifted fully into romance, which felt like a missed opportunity.
Overall, I really liked this drama. It doesn’t feel tiring, it’s fun, entertaining, and easy to watch. Even with some weak points in the side couples and storyline development, the main couple’s chemistry and the lighthearted tone make it a very enjoyable rom-com.
Final score: 8.5/10. ⭐
