As I mentioned before, it was a refreshing and nice break from the modern Kdrama. I don't normally rewatch that many dramas, simply because there's always a drama I haven't seen calling my name, but I can see myself rewatching this one some time down the road. The theme song "Always Beside You" is also nice. As I mentioned above, Ahn Jae Wook has an amazing voice! Such songs as "Forever" and "Hurt" have lingered in my head even after I finished watching. The soundtrack has become a favorite of mine now. The music was the best part of the drama. Yi Ban was annoying, but I found his character pathetic and wimpy and couldn't help but laugh at his character on screen at serious moments. Yi Hwa was probably the most annoying character in the drama, but her mother followed closely behind. Other characters, such as Yi Hwa, Yi Ban and their mother did their roles fine. His character was always supportive and he knew what he was doing as a leader. Not getting as much screen time until later on, but becoming one of the most important characters in this drama. Cha In Pyo as Joon Hee was also a favorite. Most of the times in modern dramas it's often lip synching through audio when it's supposed to be live. I loved his character! He has such an amazing voice, too, and I'm pretty sure he was singing live during the show. Ahn Jae Wook as Min Hee was also really well done. And the actress also portrayed someone else in the drama, really contrasted her original character.
She had her limits and didn't let the petty things get to her. Yun Hee was a character who stood up for herself. Choi Jin Sil did an excellent job as Yun Hee, and I was really sad to hear about her death. But it didn't take away from the drama at all, actually it made me like it more. And the love triangle is really hardly there at all. There was some, but they understood each other.
Another thing I loved was the lack of confusion between the leads. There wasn't the over amount of angst and drama, but rather just the right amount. To me, I found it really refreshing and a nice change of pace. While nowadays it may be clichéd, Star in My Heart was one of the dramas that paved the way for modern Kdramas. They're implied by change of hair or change of events, it's not stated how much time has passed, rather something you have to pick up on yourself. The time gaps, I will note, did confuse me a little.
But the story progresses little by little until Yun Hee is already half way through college. She's taken into his rich family and inherits an arrogant step mother, an annoying step sister and a creep step brother. It starts off with Yun Hee as a high school student, taken out of an orphanage by a friend of her father. The oldest Kdrama I had watched before this one had come out in 2006.įrom the first episode I knew I was going to like this drama. So needless to say, when I started watching this I didn't have much expectation for it. After watching Reply 1997 I felt in the mood to watch an older drama, one that ironically also came out in 1997. Rewatch Value 8.0 Star in My Heart, I originally started watching this on a whim, I added it after a random find.
