You who came from the stars

There are different English names for it but I'm referring to the popular alien boy Korean drama! I have just completed the show and yes I'm quite lag.

Do Min Joon, who originates from the star, visits earth one day and saves a girl from falling down the cliff. He stops the time and everything freezes. He then pulls the falling girl back onto ground. From then on he protects this girl called Yi Hua from the people who wants to kill her. Unfortunately she still died in his arms. Due to him being helpful to this human, he misses his ufo flight back to home. Hence, he stays on earth for a whole 400 years using different identities as time passes because he don't get old as fast as human beings.

In the modern days, he met Cheon Song Yi, a famous actress. He later finds out that she is the girl he saved 12 years ago from a car accident. The girl at that time looked the same as Yi Hua. He thinks that there must be a link between them, she may be her. Therefore, alien boy tries to save Song Yi from all possible mishaps, especially when he can predict certain events to happen. Knowing her good guy friend's brother's dark secret, Song Yi is constantly in danger and Min Joon has been protecting her. Because of all that, Min Joon reveals his powers to the public in the process. His powers include super speed, teleportation, ability to stop time and incredible hearing. To save her, he risks exposing his own identity, when he could have leave peacefully for his star 3 months later when the ufo arrives again.

Both of them fell in love with each other. But since Min Joon is a leaving alien, he reveals his identity to her in an attempt to scare her away. Yet, they still got together despite being of different races. However, Min Joon has to leave earth soon. Otherwise, he will die. He leaves, leaving Song Yi with sadness. The story twisted to a good ending with Min Joon coming back to earth after he disappears into a worm hole, healing himself there, and returning for a longer period each time. In the end, they found a way to be together.

The drama is really funny because the character of Song Yi is really interesting. She go girl crazy and the acting is superb. Min Joon's character is too solemn for my liking though, not much lovey dovey feeling coming out from the scenes. It's hilarious when alien boy always faints after every kiss because he is "allergic" to human saliva haha. And I wonder how they can have kids since that was what they wanted in the plot. Overall, I found the start of the drama quite boring but it becomes super addictive as the plot moves on. It's especially cool when Min Joon suddenly, like the hulk, jumps down from the sky onto the moving car to prevent it from falling down the cliff. Wahhhh.

All these are fictional stories la, but do you believe in the existence of other beings? We never know right, especially if there are aliens who live on some other planets we humans can never go near. If there are, I hope they are as cool and gentle as the character of Min Joon instead of those in Alien Vs Predators kind. Other dramas also have story plots in which humans travel through time, going to the future or back to the past of sorts. Like this one- Queen In-Hyun's Man.

There's also robot and human love like this- Absolute Boyfriend.



All these story plots may be so romantic but they are all quite sad if there's no happy ending of being together. I know my imagination is running too wild now but who knows who you may fall in love with lol. Secretly, my bf may be some cyborg since he is good in math and computers hahaha. Talking nonsense.

Please tell me you are human and you will grow old with me. :)
