The story, without the spoilers.
Do Min-joon arrived on Earth from another planet four hundred years ago, and he has spent the centuries since keeping his distance from humans. He can stop time, move objects and hear a heartbeat from far away, yet he has learned not to get attached. Then top star Cheon Song-yi moves in next door: loud, funny, unlucky in love and constantly in trouble. She needs help, he keeps helping, and the man who was counting down the days until he could leave starts to dread the departure he once wanted. My Love from the Star mixes fantasy, comedy and melodrama with rare confidence. Jun Ji-hyun is hilarious and heartbreaking as Song-yi, Kim Soo-hyun is quietly magnetic as Min-joon, and their romance works because it is about loneliness as much as stardust. The alien powers are fun, but the real hook is simple: what would you give up for a person you were never supposed to meet?
A little curiosity. A new favourite.
