So glad to see Filipino movies and their actors added to MDL! I was obsessed with Liza for a time after seeing her in Just the Way You Are. She is stunning and so talented!
The trailer is messing with my brain because I keep thinking of the previous actors and then there's Park Hae Jin who's still there. I'm interested though!
A promising start and some lovely moments in this drama. It lost its spark once the love triangle started (and this is coming from someone who ADORES that drama trope) and some characters just seemed dumb and irritating (the ridiculousness of that one minister though!) but I still have one favourite - Wang Won. Sure, he has his moments of stupidity himself but his unwavering love has my heart.
Also, had a sliiiiight crush on Song In and his devious mind for a bit. That faded really quick after one particular moment though.
TL;DR: it's a good drama if you like warm-hearted and blindly loyal but overall likeable characters.
I took the negative comments too seriously and let it stop me from giving it a fair chance. I started yesterday out of boredom and now I'm hooked! I think I got easily scandalized by the ending of the first episode, lol.
Completely agreed on all of these. I tried getting into While You Were Sleeping and Ruler of the Mask among others but I just wasn't interested. This year wasn't the best in terms of kdrama for me.
Great drama! I love Liu Shi Shi's period dramas and this one has brought me a new leading man to love. I've been admiring William Chan's dimples for the last two weeks.
I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't give this drama a fair chance back when I had finished To The Beautiful You and Hana Kimi 2007. I thought the original was perfect and I didn't need to go on after but it's only now that I've actually seen it (due to a blooming crush on Miura Shohei after seeing him in Daytime Shooting Star) that I'm in love with it all over again. I thought no one could be Ikuta Toma's Nakatsu but Miura Shohei's Nakatsu is just as funny, warm-hearted and heartbreakingly amazing that this version to me is a must-watch.
Hi all, I've finished subbing the movie. You can find the sub here: https://waoowsubs.wordpress.com
Ah, thank you so much for dedicating so much time to this! Please have a very enjoyable weekend and know that you've made a ton of people extremely happy with your hard work. All the best, dear!
I started this drama back when it was airing in August and I couldn't be more hooked. The premise is exactly the kind I love to see in historical dramas and yet, after the first ten or so episodes, my interest waned. I picked it back up this week with the intention of finishing it and thank goodness, I've finally completed it. I struggled with the drama for one main reason - Jing Ke. I just couldn't take to him. He irritated me even when I liked the character. He might be a warrior but he's really kind of pathetic after he 'loses' Li'er. Then there's Ying Zheng who I couldn't help but laugh at towards the end because all he could do for himself was lie, bark orders at people and then cry about being misunderstood. Oddly, I wasn't annoyed by any of the other characters, I more felt sorry for them for having to live with either of these idiots. That being said though, I did enjoy this drama a bit, enough to give it an 8.5. This is more with me liking the ending than anything else (very much like Journey of Flower! They have to kill the person they love most in order to understand. Only here, we didn't have that annoying patchwork ending.) I'd also like to give a shoutout to the real MVP of this drama: Warrior Ge Nie. Badass and intelligent enough to know to stay out of politics. My hope is that he goes on to train Tian Ming who will eventually revive the Gongsun fighter family. Grandpa Gongsun deserved that much, bless him. Special mention to Han Shen - loyal to a fault but unwavering and straightforward unlike the two previously mentioned knuckleheads.
Not sure if this helps but the second server link on this page has Chinese subs on the movie video itself.http://duastu.com/daytime-shooting-star-2017-japan-dvdrip-streaming/I'd…
Yay! Thank you so much for dedicating your time like this. You are an absolute hero to me!
I REALLY REALLY WANT SUBS FOR THIS! I tried watching a bit without and it looks amazing so I started reading the manga, further increasing my desire for subs.
The ending made my eyes water a little bit. Just a little. Okay, who am I kidding? No, but I actually quite liked the ending. They followed the sad history but still managed to make my heart ache with the sweetness of the ending.
To be honest, the character I most enjoyed was Lee Yung. Lee Dong Gun's performance for this entire drama is absolutely excellent. I highly recommend it if only just for him. I liked the main couple as well but oddly enough, even for a romance junkie like me, I stuck around for the story! 9/10.

I'd be really grateful if you do decide to sub it!!
