Happiness perfectly describes what I felt watching Shooting Stars.
How can a drama simply avoid that ridiculous trope of the couple breaking up near the end because they can’t handle negative comments? Just for escaping that cliché, it already won me over. I’ve always found it extremely exhausting to swallow that kind of forced conflict.
I laughed, cried, and was deeply moved in several scenes. The rivalry between Oh Han Byul and Gong Tae Sung is delightful to follow. It’s impossible not to laugh watching him try every possible way to please her and fail miserably each time. Another highlight is when he ends up being outsmarted by the PR team and practically becomes one of their employees, which leads to fantastic scenes. The secondary couples also work very well and don’t get forgotten.
Among them, the one that won me over the most was Jin Yoo Na and Yoon Jae Hyun. I had already seen the two in Be My Boyfriend, but here the development of their relationship was even more fun. The way their feelings intertwine with the roles they’re playing made everything more interesting and natural. I admit I missed seeing the baby at the end, but nothing that spoils the experience.
