ML is really good , but the two SMLs almost steal the spotlight

for me his acting performance TOP's
1. Pachinko (2,1) (top)
2. Gangnam 1970 (top)
3. When The Stars Gossip (good)
4.Faith
5.City Hunter (good)
6.The Legend of the Blue Sea (very cool)
7.The King: Eternal Monarch (nice as a king)
.....
The Heirs ( his acting is good but the serie is poor)
Boys over Flowers ( he has the charisma, but the serie is poor same plot like The Heirs, end quite old )
Personal Taste ( quite old serie, but not bad)

First episode, and I really enjoy the actors and their chemistry. As for aspects other than the romance (the city, the context, the coincidences—it is definitely an imaginary tale) but it's still enjoyable to watch for now..

Dear Lilili - As long as these losses are not deducted from your bank account or mine, there is no reason to worry about their budget. They have sufficient resources, and neither you nor I are the producers of this series to assess the actual losses related to this production.

As for the elements mentioned in the blog, no tangible evidence supports them. Regarding the views, they range from 200,000 to 1 million per post. However, this means nothing in itself, as the number of views does not reflect the quality of a product in any way—especially since they can always be bought at will.

Giving constructive feedback is one thing, but why waste your energy on destruction when negative subjectif critiques, far from annihilating, often end up fueling success, while you could choose to elevate what deserves to be seen?
Writing 50 times that a work is bad can be seen as a quest for personal validation through collective opinion, attempting to impose an absolute truth. This approach reduces criticism to a mere tool for being heard, rather than encouraging genuine dialogue or nuanced reflection.

yes ! If you look at the ratings in detail on this site, you'll see that they are going up as the episodes progress, especially after episodes 7-8. So, once everyone understands the concept, it's all good.

It’s a great series , I think it’s 1 ) about very high expectations 2) certain objectives the film aimed for, but in reality, it offers something different 3) It mixes a lot of styles western and drama style , and the audience might not have connected with it from the first episode 4) A plot that unfolds slowly 5) and while being original in many aspects and conservative in others

yes i think to

It's certain that after the report, they will go back into space again. ML will leave with Eve while maintaining cordial relations at first. What do you think?"*

This is not a drama you can watch in the background. :)))

I know, I understand, I myself don’t like endless love triangles, etc... However, I've noticed that many people actually enjoy the presence of these clichés. It's also what makes the style of k-dramas successful and distinctive, I think, just like Bollywood style for example (I’m French, just to say). Everywhere, the real issue is how much to Americanize and how much to keep cultural character in a work to reach the mainstream. I think Lee Min Ho (I really like him) has the mission to make this series evolve globally, which is why the series has a lot of ‘Western’ elements. However, it’s also important to keep the drama-loving audience. So, I think the problem with this series is that people who are fans of dramas no longer identify with it because it’s too Western, and for Western fans, there’s not enough experience to reach the same high level as Hollywood in terms of sci-fi.
and For someone who is quite open in both senses, there is no problem mixing genres and experimenting this experience

I really like a lot of things in it; it's a heavy job in many aspects of k-dramas (actors, casting, cinematography, writing ideas), and it's very interesting to watch. If I like it or not, I'll let you know at the end :)

ep 10 ..
Personally, I love the fantastical side of this drama. What I’m hoping for is that the script takes it to the next level. I’d love for them to go back into space for another mission (like Armageddon, lol ), with the same team—that would be amazing. And at the end, ML opens a sort of clinic, as he mentioned at the beginning to his future father-in-law, to allow more people to heal their issues if needed.
This would give a broader perspective on the question of why go so far for a wealthy heiress. It would raise a bold or controversial ethical point, but from a biased standpoint, allowing the series' sci-fi aspect to conclude in an interesting way."

You can definitely watch it and form your own opinion. In any case, right now, it’s the best ongoing series of 2025.

You’re right, but there’s a subtlety. In this dorama, the cliché elements are used in a way that turns them around, making them more realistic and mature. Clichés initially help place the work within a certain 'genre,' but what makes the whole thing original is how these elements are treated—or not—which we’ll see at the end of the series.

Thank you! I find that on this page "When the star gossip" , there are very interesting people. Reading the serie and discussing becomes an enriching experience, as if we were watching together, collectively, in an exchange that is both social and human. :))

Not being afraid to judge a film for yourself means claiming your own critical perspective without being influenced by the dominant opinion, professional critics, or current trends.

In a society where opinions are often shaped by algorithms, influencers, or specialized media, it is easy to follow a consensus without truly questioning "WHAT WE PERSONALLY THINK" . Yet, each viewer experiences a work differently, depending on their cultural background, emotions at the moment, and expectations.

Judging a film for yourself also means accepting that art is subjective.

Review of When the Stars Gossip – Episode 9

By far the best k-drama I’ve watched in 2024-2025! The storyline develops slowly but with great originality, offering a good mix of suspense, unconventional romance, comedy, and action.

Regarding the science-fiction aspect, it’s true that this genre is often judged more harshly, as it appeals to a more discerning audience. However, let’s not forget that even blockbusters like Armageddon, Jurassic Park, or Gravity (and many others, whose major scientific flaws I could detail here) contain inconsistencies. Yet, when it comes to Hollywood, we believe in it? The secret to their success? When a film or series manages to fully captivate and immerse its audience, these details become secondary.

That’s exactly what When the Stars Gossip achieves: despite taking some creative liberties with science, the action, and emotions are so well executed that we are completely drawn into the world of the drama.
I hope that this series, in terms of the sci-fi questions it raises, will dare to fully explore its
concepts.

yes !!!

For me, that would have been cheating if ML, while telling the first girl that he loves her, etc... continued his relationship with her but also had something going on with the second girl. This is exactly the case with FL’s ex-boyfriend – that’s cheating ! I think the author should develop each of the four characters in more depth more quickly. So far, we don’t have much information about them, which is why everyone interprets things differently...and 2 week's fact .... it’s just the style of narration... A perfect example of narration is Hamlet. He’s also an "imperfect hero" with flaws, but we understand and accept him because his character is well-developed. Perhaps we just need to wait until the end of the series ...??
