The Universe's Star

Assalamualaikum, good day dearest! I'm finally back with another k-drama review. Huhu, and, no this is the only k-drama that I watched since the semester start... As for movies, I haven't got to watch another so... yeah.

Title : The Universe's Star
Episodes : 3
Genre : Fantasy, Romance, Comedy
Director : Kim Ji Hyun
Writer : Kim Ji Hyun
Network : MBC
Cast : Suho, Ji Woo
Plot : 

Woo Joo is a singer-songwriter. His seventh comeback did not receive the support from the public. Byul is an angel of death. Out of all angel, her performance is the worse, she can't sent any single soul to the up. Byul doesn't remember her live when she was a human. However, she remember being a fan of Woo Joo. When she found out that Woo Joo is scheduled to die, she plead to her boss for her to save him. Her boss then agreed to sent her as human again with a condition that she must not cross the seven things/wish she couldn't fulfill during her lifetime. And if she broke them, she will be sent to the above.

SPOILER ALERT

There's nothing much comment on this drama, honestly. As it is only 3 episodes, the plot is really simple. It's a story of an angel of death and a superstar. Byul, the angel of death, doesn't remember anything from her live as a human except for a fact that she's a fan of Woo Joo. And because of his current song is not doing well, Woo Joo is uner a lot of stress. He feels like dying. Byul receives that the VIP from above has expecting Woo Joo for a long time. She determined to not let Woo Joo died.

Every character in this drama is connected to one another in a way. However, it wasn't that hard to digest because their relation is revealed slowly.  Plus, there wasn't a scene where they're too many things happening at the same time. It is a really light watch. And in fact, I watch this drama when I have a gap in between classes and I'm not feeling like doing any works.

The fantasy aspect may become a little bit too much for my realistic view. I hate how both the doctor (Woo Joo's childhood friend) and the rescuer (the person who responsible for Byul's death) did not question how could she be alive again. Also, how could she married Woo Joo when she don't have a definite identity. Ohh, I am really not into fantasy brought into real world. My brain can't comprehend that.

Other than that, this drama is very much enjoyable and I really love it. In fact, this is my third (if I remember it correctly) time watching it. Even thought I watch it solely for Suho at first and had zero expectation.
