Impressions
This drama has a lot of strengths that make it unique. All fans of k-dramas know that there are a large number of Korean series specializing in romance. Despite this, each of the romantic dramas is unique. The first strong point of Shooting Stars is the casting. Kim Young Dae (Gong Tae Sung) embodies very well his character being still his first role as a main character. Romance level we are also very spoiled. In addition to the main romance we also have not two but three other additional romances between the secondary characters. However, this does not spoil the drama at all. Another positive point is the touch of originality of the story. A romance between artists and manager is not very common however screenwriters have done a remarkable job to make Shooting Stars a unique series.
In conclusion "Shooting Stars" is a drama to see absolutely this summer. It is a very beautiful series that knows how to mix comedy and love. We highly recommend it! If you want to discover other more or less recent dramas here is a small selection: Business Proposal Home Town Cha-Cha-Cha
