The show is too good to be so poorly reviewed
I am genuinely surprised by the negative reviews of "When the Stars Gossip." The show excels in so many areas. The CGI is top-notch, the space environment is so much like NASA in real life, and the science depicted is quite accurate, something you can easily fact-check, and of course the script is good. Virtually every episode has you gripping the edge of your seat, they either end with suspenseful cliffhangers or life-or-death situations. Lee Min Ho's acting skills are particularly noteworthy. He can easily switch between goofy to profoundly anguished but he makes each emotion believable and impactful. Gong Hyo Jin, with her innate ability to elevate her co-stars, makes Lee Min Ho shine, much like she has done with her male leads in her past dramas. The OST is also beautifully composed and thoughtfully integrated in each episode. I cannot help but wonder if the criticisms might be manufactured or orchestrated by fans who think Lee Min Ho is a competition to their male idol. Or perhaps I am just a nerd who loves science. Either way, the show is too good to be so poorly reviewed.
