Story :
Do Min-joon is an alien that landed on Earth in the year 1609 during the Joseon Dynasty. As his spaceship is broken, he is stranded on the planet for the next four centuries. He possesses a near-perfect appearance, enhanced physical abilities involving his vision, hearing and speed, and a cynical, jaded view regarding human beings. He meets a young girl whom he saves from death, but later on she gives her life saving him.
As time goes by, Min-joon is forced to take on a new identity every ten years, as his human appearance never ages.
In the present he works as a college professor and finds out that due to a comet coming in three months, he will be able to return to his home planet. In the meantime he accidentally meets famous actress Cheon Song-yi, the biggest Hallyu star in Korea, when she moves in next door to his luxurious apartment and also turns out to be attending his classes at college. Song-yi is an obnoxious, entitled attention seeker, someone who became a top star in her teens and never learned how to live a normal life. Min-joon finds out that Song-yi looks like the young girl he fell in love with in the Joseon era. He tries to keep himself away from her, as he needs to leave the planet.
However, Song-yi gets entangled in the dangerous game of Lee Jae-kyung, the elder brother of Hwi-kyung, who has been her friend since middle school and is in love with her. As Jae-kyung tries to silence Song-yi, Min-joon finds himself saving her multiple times and eventually the neighbours fall for each other.

OK, let us take some preview of the scenes of "My Love from the Star" below :-
From this drama, I like the house of the Do-Min-Joon or Do Manager. His house is very beautiful and unique can have seen the night view of the city. Moreover, the glass ceiling and see the stars. :) His house is full of books too.
I really like the actor Kim Soo-Hyun after watching this TV drama. He is a very talented actor and he is very suit for the role Do-Min-joon. Before this drama, I have also watched some of his TV dramas, such as, "Giant", "Will it Snow for Christmas", and "The Moon Embracing the Sun". I can see his acting skill is improving and also becomes more matured. He is a very talented actor for me. Of course, he is very cute too. :)
As for the lead actress, Jun Ji-hyun. No doubt that she is a pretty actress and this is the drama of her comes back after 14 years. Now she is a wife of a lucky man! She acts very natural in the drama.
Another young actress, Kim Hyun-soo, she acted as the young role of Cheon-Song-yi. She is a very good young actress and very talented. I am quite like her personally.

Well, my most favourite scene of the "My Love from the Star" is Do Min-joon stopped the time in the ice pool while he is fishing, then he walks towards to the girl she loves, Cheon Song-yi and kisses her (whom the lady didn't know it). Wow, I think that scene is very, very romantic. Guess what?! This scene is also the most favourite scene of the actor Kim Soo-hyun as reported in his interview. Wow!!!! We have the same thoughts!!! Haha! :P
Well, hope you will like "My Love from the Star" after I blogging about it. If you yet to watch this TV drama, I am strongly recommend you to watch this drama. "My Love from the Star" would be definitely one of my top 3 favourite K-drama of Year 2014!!! :P
