Storyline
Do Min-joon (Kim Soo-hyun) is an alien who landed on Earth during Joseon Dynasty. Due to an unforseen circumstance, he missed out on his return trip to his home planet. He lived on Earth for the next four centuries, before chancing upon an opportunity to go back home when there was news of a spaceship appearing on Earth once again.
Cheon Song-yi (Jun Ji-hyun) is a famous Hallyu star who happens to be Min-joon's neighbour and student. Love slowly sparked between them when Song-yi started to stay at Min-joon's house temporarily as she was accused of murdering her fellow actress.
Lee Hee-kyung (Park Hae-jin) has a one-sided love for Song-yi since middle school. Yoo Se-mi (Yoo Yi-na) is Song-yi's childhood friend, who also has a one-sided love for Hee-kyung.
Cheon Yoon-jae (Ahn Jae-hyun) is Song-yi's younger brother. Lee Jae-kyung (Shin Sung-rok) is Hee-kyung's elder brother who is full of secrets whether it is about his family or relationship.
My View
MLFTS is my all-time favourite K-drama ranking number one.
The chemistry between Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun is so good and they are the best on-screen couple ever. I can re-watch this drama almost every year and still remember the plot vividly in my mind.
Remember to catch those special scenes after the end of each episode.
At the end of the day, what matters most is not only company, but also knowing that your other half is still alive somewhere in this world.
