Light and fluffy drama with a likable cast that has great chemistry
Subjective Rating: 8.5
Objective Rating: 8.0
“Sh**ting Stars” is a light and fluffy romantic comedy that takes place within the entertainment industry. If you are like me, looking for something cute and sweet to satisfy that hopeless romantic inside of you, this is a good one.
The whole drama is full of likable characters and the plot never goes deep enough to give you angst or make you too uncomfortable. The cast has great chemistry (bromance, sismance, officemates, neighbors) and the acting is pretty good. Plotwise, it’s nothing unique. You know what to expect when the drama is about celebrities/stars who sh*t and others have to clean up their mess. You can expect some scandals and anti-fans.
This drama not only shows you the life of the stars but also the reporters, managers and the public relations team. It has a good mix of all these professions, thus, giving “Sh**ting Stars” pretty good pacing. I was never too bored. However, you can also criticise the drama for never going too deep into any issue. Afterall, this is a romantic comedy.
I want fluff and I got fluff. The main leads are fun to watch. You thought they were enemies, but as the story unfolds, it’s not what it originally portrayed. Kim Young Dae is so handsome and smoking hot with his shirt off especially when he’s in photoshoots (e.g. Episode 2) and dramas. Lee Sung Kyung is spunky, fun and beautiful to watch. The two of them give me exactly what I am craving for, with great kisses, too. ML is just too adorable without going over-the-topic (at least to me) when he’s in a relationship.
The manager/manager combo is fine. A little surprising that the manager caved in without much struggle/difficulty/contemplating. They are not as exciting as the lawyer/reporter couple. I love this more mature couple and their personalities. They are evenly matched in wit and sarcasm, and always have interesting dialogues. I wish there were more scenes of them. The actor/actress couple is just there and doesn’t really add much to the drama. Maybe just to show a different kind of celebrity romance.
I would recommend this if you are looking for a fun and stress-free watch. The cast delivers, has great chemistry and offers enough variety. It’s not a masterpiece, but sometimes, you are not looking for a masterpiece to heal your soul after some serious and heartbreaking dramas. Objectively, I should probably rate this an 8.0-8.25, but I am in the mood to give it a solid 8.5.
