why is the title censored?

[babyjenkski]

별똥별 literally is Shooting Star but I think they did the style of the title that way to give it a bit of double-meaning.

every time i see it my head automatically reads “shitting stars” and it really throws me off

I thought that was the point!

ooh good that you're making this discussion post op, i watched the first 2 eps but didn't want to commit to making posts lol

This drama is highly anticipated because of the cast and the promise of a good storyline. However, they received lots of negative reviews because of the scenes that's supposed to be in Africa. It makes me wonder why they had to go to another country when they can basically do volunteer work within SK and avoid offending people.

I liked the first two episode. Good chemistry overall. And I love Kim Seulgi's special appearance in episode 2. I missed her. I wish to see her in more dramas.

yeah it's really inappropriate to say the least. i think they chose 'africa' (like it's not a continent with a lot of different countries) because they thought it would give taesung/hanbyul an excuse to not be in contact with each other because the place is so 'underdeveloped' - as though internet and phone connection doesn't exist over there while being able to show that taesung, despite being kind of a jerk to hanbyul, is actually a ~good guy~. it perpetuates really problematic ideas and the writers should've known better

i also loved kim seulgi's special appearance, she is always so fun to watch! i also want to see her in more dramas i just don't understand that she hasn't blown up as an actress. but i think i saw somewhere she got casted (but not in a main role?) for an upcoming drama so hoping we'll see her soon again

I enjoyed the first two episodes they were fun. I also want to see if they were the campus couple. You could tell there was a little bit more to the them that we have seen so far. I also like the other characters. Kim Jong Hoon I have liked him in some of the drama's I saw him in before, even if he was a jerk I ended up liking him. So I am enjoying watching him in this :)

[babyjenkski]

Yesss obviously there's history between our leads =) Kim Jong Hoon usually the baddie in most kdramas I saw him in LOL He did good in all 3 seasons of The Penthouse. For a change, he's a nice/soft guy here.

I saw Kim Jong Hoon in Extraordinary You and I liked him in that:)
