One of the main things that some people were not in favor of at the beginning was the fact that both Ryong and…
I never cared about possible cheating but I do care about good writing and the writing for their relationship or whatever you want to call it has been terrible . We don't have a clear idea why he'd ditch his fiancee for her after three days and her character went from threatening him with a gun to reacting like a kitten when he barged into her room and wouldn't leave.
Do NONE of these men know the meaning of consent? No means NOOOOOO! You don't hit on your commanding officer.…
The gender thing was so fucking dumb and yet I forgot to mention it in my comment because I was too pissed off at the misogyny. I'll just read your comments going forward and spare myself.
The woman who literally pulled a pistol on Gong Ryong over ice cream is allowing him to barge into her room, hit…
Omg yes to that creepy monologue by GR about how many vaginas he's looked at in his career so that women don't look like women to him anymore, was that supposed to be charming? 🤢 And I agree Eve looks scared of Kangsu. Unfortunately Gong Hyo Jin specializes in characters who are timid and weak under a tough exterior.
Wtf is that opening scene of Ep 5. Spoilered rant in thread. ETA: There's very few comments here, seems like people…
The woman who literally pulled a pistol on Gong Ryong over ice cream is allowing him to barge into her room, hit on her and to be insubordinate without kicking him in the balls and locking him in his room for the rest of the mission?
Between When the Stars Gossip, Mr. Plankton and When the Phone Rings, Netflix is really going all in on the no boundary left untrampled male leads of the 2010s.
The lack of respect for the women in this drama is atrocious. First, GR gets a big backstory while five episodes in we know next to nothing about Eve. Santi has porno magazines kept out in the open in a work and living space he shares with women. Eve's boyfriend got touchy-feely flirty with Eve and his female commander on their mission together. The fiance and her SIL are treated like chattel by the father and it's played for laughs. He even cracks a joke about her not giving consent for her eggs to be fertilized by Kang Kang Su. I was planning to finish this out of morbid curiosity but this episode turned me off so much that I'm officially done.
Sure but top 10 non English is still not a flop. But I do think viewership and interest is dropping, it'll be interesting to see what the numbers are next week.
>According to Netflix’s Global TOP 10 series (non-English) rankings for January 6th to 12th, the show secured the eighth position with 2.4 million views and a cumulative viewing time of 10.8 million hours. FlixPatrol reports that the series has entered the TOP 10 in 55 countries, including Canada, Australia, Japan, India, and Saudi Arabia, landing at #8 on Netflix’s global TV shows chart.
>International media has taken notice. U.S. review site Decider wrote, “When The Stars Gossip is a typical Korean romance dramedy in a lot of ways, but two good lead performances and fantastic visual effects make it very watchable.” The outlet particularly praised the visual effects, noting, “The visual effects on the show are really well-done, and the floating looks realistic, given everything we know about how astronauts deal with zero-g in real life.”
>ScreenRant, another U.S. entertainment outlet, reviewed that “‘When the Stars Gossip’ has received positive reviews, with the stellar cast, chemistry between the primary protagonists, and interesting plot being the highlights.” The publication added, “The first two episodes of the series have shown that the Netflix K-drama has the potential to be great, thus making viewers curious about when the next episodes will be released.”
>The series has also garnered positive reviews on IMDb, with viewers praising “the dynamic and interesting plot, excellent graphics, great comic scenes, superb acting, and outstanding musical accompaniment.” Others noted, “It’s been a while since a drama put so much effort into pleasing viewers’ eyes” and “The space station is very realistic and so is the acting there. Excellent cast.”
this drama is so ridiculous it’s actually amusing so i keep tuning in lol🤣
That's how I feel about it. It's not actually good but the trainwreck isn't boring either so I'll keep watching. Plus the acting and CGI are legit good, it's the writing that's a trainwreck.
Sorry but this drama is absolutely boring!!! Gong Hyo Jin gone for 7 years and she comes back to be in this silly…
It feels like she's sidelined even though she's the female lead. We don't know her thoughts, feelings or desires, it's all about the men in the story. Even though she's a "strong" character she's already been weakened by Gong Ryong saving her and pinning her in her own room. That's bothering me a lot.
