"When the Stars Cheat: A Space Romance That Crashes and Burns
When the Stars Gossip aimed to blend romance and science fiction, but it ended up as an absurd mess that insults both genres. The script is directionless, filled with repetitive dialogue, predictable twists, and irrelevant conflicts that make it difficult to stay engaged. The pacing is inconsistent, alternating between boring filler and ridiculous drama, leaving no room for emotional connection.
One of the most infuriating aspects of the show is its shameless glorification of cheating. The male lead (ML) is engaged but has a relationship with the female lead (FL) while showing no guilt or remorse. What’s worse is that the drama justifies it under the guise of "true love" simply because he’s the ML. In other dramas like Marry My Husband, cheating is portrayed as a horrible crime worthy of punishment, but here, it’s romanticized just because the main leads are involved. The double standard is glaring and insulting.
Beyond the terrible writing, the characters are poorly developed. Even with a talented cast, their performances suffer due to the weak script. The leads lack chemistry, and their interactions feel forced rather than natural. The drama also damages the image of astronauts, portraying them as unprofessional and more concerned with love triangles than actual space missions.
Ultimately, When the Stars Gossip is a massive disappointment. While it may appeal to viewers who don’t mind nonsensical storytelling, it’s impossible to recommend due to its lack of depth, logic, and respect for its own premise. If you’re curious, watch the first episode—you’ll quickly see how fast it spirals downward. Save your time and skip this one.
