What is My Love from the Star about?
An alien who arrived on Korean soil four centuries ago has spent his exile as a succession of aloof university professors, counting down the months until his ride home returns. Then a wildly famous, wildly insecure actress moves in next door and refuses to be ignored. Superhuman abilities, a Joseon-era memory he cannot shake and a chaebol heir with a body count all complicate a romance running on a hard deadline.
Celluloid verdict: The rom-com that redrew the Korean Wave’s map across Asia — Jun Ji-hyun’s gleefully unfiltered star turn and Kim Soo-hyun’s deadpan restraint make an absurd premise feel weightless and, by the finale, genuinely moving. The cast is led by Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Soo-hyun, Park Hae-jin, Yoo In-na, Shin Sung-rok, among others.
How many seasons of My Love from the Star are there, and where do I start?
