INTERESTING FACT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW, it will make this drama more interesting/meaningful:
The female lead's name (Byul) means "star" and the male lead's name (Woo Joo) means "universe". Combine this info with the title "The Universe's Star/The Star of the Universe" and an interesting concept emerges!

PS. ADMINS of MDL, could you add this little(yet IMPORTANT!) tidbit to the drama description here on MDL as well?
After reading some spoilers, I'm glad I dropped it at ep 10... it's the worst ending I've ever…
I thought the ending was really bittersweetly beautiful and beautifully bittersweet. It gave closure, yet left wanting more. A sour taste in the mouth from its tragic aspects, yet satisfaction. Thinking back to it puts me in an existential crisis and regret of the wasted years for these characters, yet it's enjoyable. Basically it was the perfect ending.
However I can see how some wouldn't like it. All that melancholy of what could've been between the characters had their happy ending happened sooner without wasted years, or without needing to relive the death of your loved one many lifetimes over.
I guess some people just want a simple happy ending with no downsides
The age difference bothered me too much. She's too young, and she acts like a kid too, so it's not easy…
Kim Go Eun's character in Cheese In the Trap was MUCH better, so lovable, so real! She also worked much better with Park Hae Jin and even the 2nd lead guy of CITT than Gong Yoo. There, said it. #SorryNotSorry
So I just watched ep1....this started well! Looking forward to watching the rest. And that scene at the start with touching things/american film the way it was executed was really thrilling, so many chills! And the female lead is really unique and interesting too! <3 Addicted at first sight/ep!
I don't understand how this deserve 1 ...i mean even if you totally don't like the story there were…
For me this is a WAAAAAAY overrated drama, HOWEVER rating it 1 is just TOO much (I gave it a 6.5)!! I suspect these people who gave it a 1 are just bitter that it's rated so highly (over their favorite dramas), so they rated it as 1....immaturity at its finest!
@Marooya S/he had good points in the review, but agreed that a low drama rating should NOT impact actor rating! Better explanation needed for that one!
@miecha There are like 3 aspects to this drama: Romcom (Shintak), Supernatural and melorom (wangsun). This was mostly a romcom because it focused mainly on the main couple....Had trouble enjoying the supernatural elements cause it had so little of it.
.... So what you're saying is you basically have to skip through MOST of this drama in order to not see it as a romcom but as a supernatural one! Wangsun/melorom kept me hooked just enough, but as a Supernatural genre fan felt like dropping it, this IS a romcom.
I completely agree with you! Not quite as deep & unique as it claims and attempts to be...Watched this only for the Interesting WangSun loveline and Lee Dong Wook & Yoo In na's naturally SIZZLING chemistry....If it weren't for them, wouldn't even have finished this overrated drama! Drama 6,5 /10 points MAX(that's being generous!), WangSun 10/10.
After the last ep koreans went crazy over WangSun!:
WangSun couple's hotel scene Trending on Naver at #1, EVEN BEFORE MAIN COUPLE who is at #3! And Koreans crying out on news sites for a Spin off for them!!!
LEE DONG WOOK & YOO IN NA chances of getting a SPIN-OFF DRAMA (or main leads together in an entirely new drama)JUST INCREASED HEAVILY!! OMO OMO OMO!! :D
I know you didn't mean, I just pointed out a DIFFERENCE between Healer and this being the added game element (allthough otherwise same concept), because I hope this ISN'T too much like Healer, because no matter how good Healer was it's good for an actor to challenge himself with different works so that it's not just playing same things
There's no game element in Healer though. Loved Healer, but personally I hope this distinguishes itself well from Healer, so he doesn't just do the same works over and over again
