The Real Has Come! ep 13

[everydaykdramasstuff]

Sh**ting Stars, episode 15

First impression: I keep falling more and more for Ki-Bbeum and Soo-Hyeok and I appreciate them more than Han-Byeol and Tae-Sung. It’s nice to see a relationship that is slow-paced and grown for a change and it must be different for Ki-Bbeum because her previous relationships have been fast-paced. Both of them has very different types of jobs and you may think that journalism is an “easy” job compared to being a lawyer - but Soo-Hyeok is impressed by Ki-Bbeum and her work. He knows it’s a demanding job and she’s brilliant at it. He likes her work ethic. He’s also a true gentleman, but I understand why Ki-Bbeum was unsure if he even was interested in her. Soo-Hyeok doesn’t say it with words, but with actions. I’m glad he made sure of telling her that he was when she spoke of her uncertainty.  

This drama focuses on the consequences of being a celebrity and it’s without a doubt difficult for celebrities to date. It’s the sad reality. They can’t date in public because there is a chance reporters will catch them. I find it sad that they can’t have a “normal” dating life because of it possibly turning into a scandal or their fanbase will get “angry”.

Getting to Know the Characters of 'Shooting Stars'

Lee Sung-kyung and Kang Young-dae as Oh Han-Byeol and Gong Tae Sung

‘Shooting Stars’ is too much of an interesting show that I couldn’t wait for the final 2 episodes before writing down a review. All the while that I’m watching this, I wonder how much fun the cast and crew must have had to film a show that so closely relates to their day-to-day lives, and how sensitive it might also be.

The show follows the life of a PR team leader, Oh Han-Byeol, and her progressive romance with A-List actor, Gong Tae Sung. Throughout the show, we witness the rise of their careers, the bumps they face, and how they help each other cross every hill on the road. From the perspectives of actors, managers, journalists, and public relations, we get a look into celebrities' so-called “perfect” lives, and the obvious truth that this glamourized look into their lives isn’t true.

Episode 3 of 'Sh**ting Stars'

GONG TAE SUNG

The thing I loved most about Gong Tae Sung is how his character was not structured to be another arrogant man that hates everyone else but that one girl, which is usually the go-to for high-class male characters that hold a ton of power.

“Why? Are you scared to see him?” - “Yes. A little.” - “What? You’re so honest.”

Episode 14 of ‘Shooting Stars’

Tae Sung was written as a sort of vulnerable and sensitive man, which I loved seeing on screen. 

Stay there. Don’t go anywhere.

Episode 5 of ‘Shooting Stars’

I like to think that Tae Sung was scared of his feelings for Han-Byeol, not because of any pide but of genuine fear of losing his friendship with her or causing her to feel uncomfortable. As if he didn’t dread the possibility of not having his feelings be reciprocated, but the possibility that he might cause her to run away.

Han-Byeol in Episode 9 of 'Sh**ting Stars'

OH HAN-BYEOL

Unlike most haters to lovers tropes, Oh Han-Byeol completely accepted all the love that Tae Sung had to give her rather than refusing to believe it in spite. The vulnerability that I mention in this review mostly comes from their request for each other’s love and not being scared of the desire to be cared for and to ask for it.

And whatever happens, I always answer people’s calls … in case I miss something in that fleeting second.

Episode 14 of ‘Shooting Stars’

Although I wouldn’t consider the show as one wherein romance is only a subplot, the writer managed to make the characters interesting on their own even without each other’s love. It didn’t feel as if Han-Byeol only had a purpose when she got together with Tae Sung, and vice versa, which I feel is not considered as much in other films about finding love. They were simply two whole individuals that loved each other, not two individuals that became whole because of each other.

Girl's Day Sojin as Cho Ki Ppeum in tVN's 'Sh**ting Stars'

CHO KI PPEUM

I can say with no doubt that Cho Ki Ppeum is the character I enjoy watching most in the show. As someone who not only dreams of entering the film industry as a screenwriter but has also been considering journalism, this show had taken my daydreams and put them on screen and inevitably made me fall in love with the reporter.

You’ve been acting more like a champion of justice than a reporter.

Episode 12 of ‘Shooting Stars’

News outlets exist for the world to be made knowledgable about the facts of their society, and in many cases, a simple news article has served as a route to justice in our world. Having Cho Ki Ppeum as a secondary character in this show and how much the reporting side of media is showcased through her may be the thing that keeps my eyes locked on the screen.

Lee Yoon Woo and Gong Tae Sung in Episode 14 of 'Sh**ting Stars'

LEE YOON WOO

Yoon Woo is a character that has only been featured through short back flashes ranging from under a minute to a little over one but is a character I consider a necessity in the story.

I still wonder why he decided to do that. He was really popular then. 

Episode 14 of ‘Shooting Stars’

Cases like Yoon Woo’s death are not scarce in Korean entertainment or the industry in general, and I appreciate his existence in the story for adding more to the incidents that could be occurring behind camera flashes, which I feel people take a little too objectively these days.

Although there are celebrities out there that live normal or even more boring lives than we do, it is respectful at the least to consider these people as humans and to be considerate of our actions on and off the internet.

'Shooting Stars' stands out from usual entertainment-based shows and films by putting the perspectives mainly on the people working behind the scenes. Watching a PR Agent straighten out the ruffles caused by the media while falling in love with an actor is something I have not seen before but highly recommend you do, too.

it's time for

sh**ting stars !

look at them.

i will never understand why it's censored.

welcome back to unwanted reviews <3 today we're talking about shooting stars, a series that is not well known but one of the best ones out there.

we've got our fighter oh han byul and rich hot traumatised gong tae sung, college (?) friends but working enemies transition to (obviously) lovers.

i. well-placed transition between friendship to crush to love to hatred to love again from both the sides, tbh. it was difficult to see han byul feel anything during the first few episodes but loved the way lee sung kyung brought her to life. han byul was treated as a proper working woman, who was not some miracle worker or anything, but her journey of learning and growing was explored well.

ii. all bow down before kim young dae. istg, i completely understood the hype about tae sung in the series. also, kdrama actors look better with their hair pushed back and you can't fucking change my mind. this man was the perfect example of petty but i think he redeemed himself well. his bromance with almost every male character in the show was simply *chef's kiss*

iii. side characters special shoutout they were so cute, everyone ended up together like one happy family. it's like watching your kids grow up and all marry each other. (quote: the office us). special mention to tae sung's manager bec damn that actor was a pain. manager was also pretty dumb in the beginning but he made up by helping tae sung flirt with han byul.

iv. han byul and tae sung were SO cute together. the ending scene was so wholesome and gave me sm closure on the entire series, it made me cry. also, the way she never gave a crap about his celebrity status when he kept DOING COOL THINGS AND MA'AM NEVER PAID ATTENTION i felt so bad for tae sung

v. those two side actors getting married was cute and deserves a special point.

8/10, sung kyung never fails to impress (kim bok joo????) and young dae stole my heart. it was so weird seeing lee jung shin in c4k after this but love him all the same. loved kim yoon hye's diverse roles from vincenzo to this she was absolutely amazing.

go watch shooting stars, honestly.

oh sorry, sh**ting stars. (honestly, is there something im missing? WHY IS IT CENSORED??)

8/10
