A drama about Astronauts falling in love, but not executed well.
Hey everyone, welcome back to the K-drama study. It's been a long time since I last did one, but I'm back and ready to review more dramas. The last drama I reviewed was Lovely Runner, which was a great show. I watched Brewing Love, but family stuff came in the way, and I didn't get to review it. Today, I'll review When The Stars Gossip, which aired from January 4th to February 23rd. Now, let's jump into the show and see what I thought of the show.
This drama had a great cast, but the actors were poorly used. First, let's jump into Lee Min Ho's character, Gong Ryung. I was too fond of Gong Ryung cheating on his fiancee with Go-Eun. I also thought Gong Ryung's character was a little bland to my liking, even though Lee Min Ho tried his best to make it work. Another thing I didn't like is how all the couples had zero chemistry, making me not interested in them at all. A lot of this drama talks about the birth and having s*x in space, which fails to connect with the overall story. I was so uninterested in a couple of the episodes that I stopped paying attention to what was happening in the show. I didn't like the ending, as it felt incomplete. I'm so disappointed with this show. I was excited to see what the show would offer with this astronaut theme, but they didn't do the topic that well.
The OSTs were the best part of the show, as they brought emotion to the table. Big Naughty started the OSTs and released the first one, which I've been repeatedly listening to. BTS member Jin had an OST for this show, and if you're going to have Jin make a song for your drama, please make the drama good, not disappointing. Lee Suhyun of AKMU had a beautiful track to which I kept returning. The only song I wasn't a big fan of but still liked was Sion's Life is tricky as that tune felt a little strange. I'm happy we got excellent OSTs that were much more enjoyable than what the show brought to the table.
I will give When the Stars Gossip and Low F for not having a great story and characters that felt bland and uninteresting during each episode I watched. I will say the OSTs for this drama were the best part and something I've been listening to a lot. I'm so sad this drama failed to impress me. I was hoping for another great Lee Min Ho drama but didn't get what I expected. I hope the next show I watch is better than When the Stars Gossip.
