In the end I still enjoyed this drama enough to finish it to the last episode, and although I don’t think I’ll find myself rewatching it in the future I also wouldn’t dissuade someone from giving it a chance. Sh**ting Stars might be for you even if it isn’t quite for me.

I’m a big sucker for romance so I don’t particularly mind if there’s a lack in plot so long as the characters and chemistry make up for it, but unfortunately this drama didn’t reach that standard. I didn’t find the main characters to be complex or likable enough to win me over, and if anything I actually preferred the side characters more. Especially the newbie actress who was a hardcore stan for the ML, she was a great representation for all fangirls across the world lol. I wouldn’t say there was a complete lack of chemistry between the ML and FL but I also didn’t feel any sparks or passion. The two managers who got together (+the triangle with the new actor that was scouted) and the lawyer/reporter pair were more interesting to me. And felt more natural.

It’s also important to note that I didn’t really dislike any characters either, with maybe an exception for the mother and housekeeper bit. I didn’t think they were necessary to the storyline at all. And speaking of the storyline, I barely felt there was one at all. Nothing exciting besides the progression of the main characters which again is OK, so long as there’s other factors that make the drama shine.

The actors did a pretty good job, and the final episode left me as satisfied as I could be with the script we were given. There were some cute moments, some amusing, some funny, and others sweet. I don’t feel like I wasted my time watching this, but I might feel differently if I was to watch a second time. 6.8/10
