Onde as Estrelas Pousam (2018)

Meh. One time watch.

It was good. One time watch. Romance is well written. Loose end tho very anti-climactic in the aspects of his relationship with his brother. It felt out of place like it was just there because they had to fill in the time. They did not shoot the ending with the actor too ig. Very weird to not show his faceq For the last 5 mins.

Kind of a confusing mess

This drama was a pretty interesting watch. In a weird way, though, they somehow managed to rush the romance yet make the story drag at times at the same time. It feels like the romance between HYR and LSY kind of appeared out of nowhere, but it was still pretty cute nonetheless. The day-to-day life of airport employees that this KDrama showcased was interesting, and I have a deeper respect for airport employees now because of that. Not gonna lie though, I was extremely confused with the bad blood between LSY and his hyung, but I just kind of went along with the storyline anyway. Altogether, this was a nice drama, but they could have expanded on the romance a bit more and shortened the uninteresting office drama.

So many holes; this story doesn't fly

A timid and insecure young employee of Incheon Airport who was transferred from dept to dept because of her mishaps, finally lands in Passenger Services where she meets a coworker with a mysterious prosthetic arm, and with whom she shares a previously unknown past connection.

I discovered this show from following Rowoon (Destined With You) and Lee Je Hoon (Taxi Driver). This is an earlier work from 2018 and is the 2nd show I've seen with LJH. The real star of the show appears to be the Skytrax 5-star rated Incheon Airport and its complex inner workings. The story is otherwise a standard office drama with many staff members having dark, connected past histories that slowly come to light. While I enjoyed LJH in Taxi Driver, he doesn't have much range in Where Stars Land, and thus his character seems less interesting. "My human rights are not at your service" Ep6. The FL character grows from a hapless and apologetic screw up, into someone who finds her voice and the confidence to stand up for herself against abusive customers. However, the long, helpless deer-in-the-headlights shots as she struggles with decision making get tiresome.

The writing is not very strong and the story is pieced together roughly. A lot of flashbacks are short on detail. Past relationships between different characters are hinted at but take a long time getting explained, if they get explained at all, so you see that there's a lot of trauma going around but you're left with so many questions. The most exciting parts of the show are the Security Team taking down customs violators. It's rather easy to lose interest, but the story picks up a lot by Ep19 as the ML's secret starts getting (literally) out of hand. Darker elements such as organized crime ensnaring executive management within the airport authority also come bubbling to the surface.

As the lead couple's relationship develops, questions arise as to how to address a permanent disability from a devastating motor vehicle collision. "The gift you were given is not yours." Is having a super strength worth it if you can hurt a stranger, or if it means you can't live very long? On the other hand, is being in a wheelchair so hopeless that after 11 years you still can't accept yourself? I don't know what accessibility is actually like in modern cities in South Korea, but this show sends a poor message to the disabled.

So many questions, so few answers in all the characters arcs. And one of the most bizarre final scenes I've seen in any show: LJH is shown only from behind with his face hidden from camera. Why? The show is so aired with mystery that it's too full of holes and makes an unsatisfactory watch.

Why are there so many negative reviews???

I loved the show, sci fi component and of course Lee Je Hoon's acting was flawless. I felt the pace was good and i eagerly watched every episode without feeling like i wanted to fast forward all the time. The music was great too. Im on episode 13 now so im nearing the end. Hope the ending is a good one. Ive enjoued the show so far, especially the second ML and FL (security vouppe) gave me so many laughs!

I think what people were complaining about the ablest views of society isnt unfair after all. Especially the scene where he was unable to do anything after he found out she got hurt, that was heart wrenching. It made me completely understand why he did what he did to her attacker.

Overall i recommend watching this as it had me engaged. I didnt even know of this show despite it being aired 4+ years ago. Glad i found it!
