Hey Bolt, your comment is so funny, I like it a lot.

As for this drma, I think YJT performed stronger then CW, and yeah, there are crazy SL fans out there. I like this drama because of YJT, like Air City because of Lee Jung Jae and Lee Jin Wook, but I like CW in Stairway to Heaven though.

Just to say that I’m grateful for all the recaps so far. I enjoy reading them a lot. Your insightful and sometimes sarcastically funny comments very entertaining. I thank you for your time and efforts and looking forward to your next recap. I think I just became one of your fan now

Wow. lol This story reminds me a little bit of Autumn Tale or Witch Yoo Hee. Great dramas but boy can they be TEDIOUS with their forever-running-in-a-circle plot lines. I’ve never watched this series but I don’t think I need to. lol

I must defend Star’s Lover. At first, I didn’t want to watch this drama because I thought it would be another typical CJW drama. You know, love, cancer, death. I started watching this drama from Episode 6 and I was hooked!! She is so lovable! Then I watched episode 5 then 4 then started from episode 1. I loved the little details. What I loved about Mari is that even with her star status in the drama, she was so down to earth with Chulsoo. I loved seeing that about her character. She doesn’t wear other people’s clothes but when she asks for Chulsoo’s coat in Ep5, when she cooks for Chulsoo and loves to watch him eat, I knew that she loved him. Also, her wardrobe was great. Looooved her brown leather jacket, and her shearling coat. Thought I saw Burberry, Prada, Jacobs bag, Louboutin, Chanel hooded jacket, etc. This drama was fun just for the wardrobe. Also, I didn’t know who YJT was, and that he was a real movie star. He was so great as Chulsoo, I was very impressed. Finally, someone manly, someone that wasn’t thinner than his leading actress, someone that’s not “pretty” and boyish. I think he impressed many, many viewers. I can ramble on and analyze every episode, but I think Star’s Lover deserves a closer look. The details in this drama is really great. Really enjoyed CJW and YJT. And thank GOD for the happy ending. It deserved a happy ending.

Thanks for the episode recaps, Javabeans. And boy…they really did put out all the cliches in this drama…what happened to originality?

Well…I guess that’s what you get when the drama is following a similar plot such as Notting Hill. Except in my opinion, Notting Hill was somewhat more entertaining than A Star’s Lover. Well, at least Ji-Woo hime was able to shine brightly amongst her Japanese ah-jooma fans.

I have to SERIOUSLY applaud you for keeping up with this…..I’m not even joking. I would have died or at least lost all of my hair watching this.

This series has great strengths and weaknesses. The biggest strengths: Choi Ji Woo and YTJ’s acting/chemistry were second to none. The kisses and intimate moments were all yummy. In fact, they are best I have seen in Korean drama and I have watched very many series, mind you. Without these two leads, I would have hated or abandoned the series. Why? The series was too draggy. There were too many (repetitive) “let’s break up”, “I’m angry with you”, “I can’t be with you”, and then “let’s make up” lovey dovey scenes. The drama would have ranked amongst my “best of all times” if it were shortened to 16 or 14 ep. (keep all the kissing and bed scenes in!). So between the sizzling, lovey dovey chemistry of the two leads and dragginess of the plot/story, would I watch SL over again and again? You bet I would! What’s the f/f button for?!
