On December 18, 2013, "My Love from the Star" was officially launched in the season of early snow, officially kicking off a classic Korean drama. The first snow in December 2023 has fallen again, and it also reminds people of the greatness of this drama. As the banner of the Korean Wave in Asia, the influence and ratings of this drama were very amazing back then. Not only in China, the number of online ** dramas exceeded 6 billion, and the index also broke through the 4 million mark. Whether it is office workers, mothers, or even students in the third year of high school, they are all attracted to this Korean drama. Today, 10 years later, looking back at the plot and texture of "My Love from the Star", it is still enjoyable.
"My Love from the Stars" has become a classic with its unique fantasy love theme. The characters in the play are novel and attractive, which makes the audience have a strong interest in the series. The combination of the alien actor Do Minjun and the top glamorous female star Cheon Song-yi gives people a new feeling. The compact plot is dizzying, and in just one episode, the image of the hero and heroine can be deeply portrayed, and the background of the characters can be clearly explained. The plots in the series are interlocking and there is no sense of dragging. This is hard to see in some other episodes that require a water injection. Matching the plot and character design, there are also two leading actors, Jun Ji-hyun and Kim so-hyun's wonderful performances. Jun Ji-hyun's top female star Cheon Song-yi is both radiant and down-to-earth, and her charm fascinates the audience. Kim so-hyun played Do Min Joon Xi in the play, showing a serious and ascetic aura, which resonated with people. The relationship between Cheon Song Yi and Do Min Joon and the sense of CP are also unforgettable. Such romantic and beautiful love scenes have always been the strong point of Korean dramas.
After the broadcast of "My Love from the Stars", it set off a craze across Asia. The influence of this drama is beyond imagination, and it has even created many phenomenal communication events. For example, Qian Songyi single-handedly made beer fried chicken the hottest food pairing in 2014. After the series aired, Korean-style fried chicken restaurants sprung up like mushrooms. Not only that, but the lipstick and jimmychoo heels used by Cheon Song-yi in the play were also out of stock for a time and became the target of popular purchases. Cheon Songyi's versatile look has sparked a fashion trend, with sack coats, over-the-knee boots, and short leather tops all becoming popular items. This is thanks to Jun Ji-hyun's excellent interpretation, and she interprets the role of Cheon Song-yi to life. And Do Min Jun Xi, played by Kim so-hyun, has become the perfect male god in the hearts of thousands of Asian girls. His high IQ, knowledge of astronomy and geography, as well as his image of having money ability and superpowers, made the audience moved. Especially when Cheon Song Yi is in distress, the scene where Do Min Joon uses his superpowers to save her is even more jaw-dropping. These elements have all boosted the popularity of the drama and made Jun Ji-hyun and Kim so-hyun explode in popularity.
"My Love from the Stars" not only detonated all over Asia in terms of plot, but also achieved great success in the acting skills of the leading actors Jun Ji-hyun and Kim so-hyun. The explosion of the drama made Jun Ji-hyun the focus of the showbiz again, and she also won the Baeksang Awards TV drama award for the first time. Since then, she has also been praised for her performance in other dramas, such as "The Legend of the Blue Sea" with Lee Min Ho. Although Jun Ji-hyun has gradually returned to her family, her advertising endorsement resources have not decreased. A number of international brands, such as Burberry and Lamer, have chosen her as the face of the brand. Her posture, aura and eternal youthful appearance have made her a goddess of frozen age, and she is a legend in the entertainment industry.
Kim so-hyun chose to appear sporadically in some dramas after "My Love from the Star", but it didn't cause much more splash. However, this did not affect his popularity. His appearance has hardly been eroded by the years, and he still remains in perfect condition. Even the recent performance at London Fashion Week has been impressive. Kim so-hyun and Kim Ji-won's new drama "Queen of Tears" is about to be broadcast, and I believe he will usher in the peak of his career again.
The reason why "My Love from the Star" has become a classic is because of its solid script and excellent actors, and on the other hand, it also benefits from the polishing of the rhythm by the service and the director. This is a work that can be remembered by the audience and is extremely infectious. Ten years later, maybe we can taste the emotion of that year again, order fried chicken and beer, and relive the good memories brought to us by this phenomenal Korean drama.
