Go Ho's Starry Night (2016)

Daebak! Woooo this drama is one of the best dramas I've watched for many reasons! If you're looking for a light rom-com drama that does not drag on- with characters that don't make you cringe or annoyed you should seriously watch this!

Basically this drama is about a women who works at an advertising company as she enters a crossfire of various love interests including her ex-boyfriend. Despite this, it's a hilarious comedy that looks into how she copes with her work and personal life.

The Good
Can I give a huge hug to the writers for not dragging on this drama at all compared to like 99.99% of the other dramas i watched?? Like damn, considering the 20 episodes- one wouldve thought that 'oh no... there must be some dragging on going around' but don't be deceived! Each episode is around 20 min; hence the reason why there are 20 episodes, but there is never a dull moment!

I seriously loved the storyline as everything gets resolved at the end and the main character isn't as annoying as other female leads. The actors and actresses were spot on! I loved their chemistry and their acting as they got along pretty well and portrayed their character well!

The music was fun and light and all the tracks were enjoyable!

The Bad
There's not much to say about the bad- but imho, i think that whenever there was a 'sick' scene where someone is coughing or sneezing- it was very obviously fake and not well done. I would prefer if they could somehow made the sneezing and coughing scenes not as forceful.

Overall? This drama really is good since it's light and not as melodramatic. If you want something to pass time with or something that doesnt make your brain hurt too much, i seriously recommend this drama!

I enjoyed this short series very much. It was a cute office romance and had lots of sweet and funny moments. The plot summary didn't originally grab me, and I didn't plan to watch this at all until I saw a teaser for it. I was immediately intrigued.

This was my first time seeing any of these actors. I would very much like to see the actress that played Go Ho do another rom-com. I thought she was quite good. I was also taken with the main male lead. He was quite cute at displaying his jealousy for Go Ho. And I think the chemistry between the leads was believable. I didn't care as much for the second lead, as he just didn't convey any emotion in my eyes. The other side characters, vying for Go Ho's affections are interesting and keep it fun.

The music didn't stand out much, but suited the mood of the scenes.

I think this is a good weekend watch and wouldn't even mind seeing it again.

I adore this bite-sized piece of magnificence in the shape of a kdrama. So many heart-skip-a-beat moments, actual laugh out loud moments, and even a few tears here and there.

What I liked:  While the male lead is brusque, he's not mean, which is a trope that I see slowly going by the wayside (though there are still plenty of dramas with this trope to be found).  The male lead just feels like a grown-up, and he won't play with the second lead, he doesn't need to compete, and it's really intriguing (and dare I say hot?) when that kind of confidence isn't confused with arrogance. Also, they don't mess around for too long, doing the usual kdrama dance of "I don't like you" and "You don't like me," they get to it pretty quickly, at least from the viewer's perspective, keeping the right characters in the dark for just the right amount of time-- not so long it's frustrating, not so soon you're bored. 

You'll never root for a main couple harder than in this one. I only wish it'd been a bit longer because I just didn't want it to end. I'll follow this writer and director anywhere.

If you're looking for a cute, easy to watch drama that's short, sweet and satisfying, then look no further!
Go Ho's starry night is one of those feel good dramas that makes you crave more after every 20 minute episode, plus the cast were totally spot on
Kim Young Kwang and Yuri's chemistry was on fire, and I was very surprised by how amazing Yuri was! Excellent in her role, you'd actually forget she is an idol. Hope to see her in more dramas in the future.
The web drama is also scheduled to air on Korean television in the near future. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves

Is there a living creature that didn't desire Go Ho!?

I am seriously amazed by the reviews, even more since i saw lots of k dramas...

Story? - there is none... a girl who had a dream...maybe living in Hawai after retirement or commercials that can touch someone hearts?

Characters

Go Ho - abandoned by her boyfriend without any explanation, even goes to jail for stalking him. The boyfriend that leaves her due to finacial problems (maybe in Korea, poor people can't be in love) returns and, without explaning why, wants to start all over (because now he has money?). After all this, she rate him 5/5 stars as a person.

So, she is flooded by lots of guys wanting her. In the middle of this, there is one that falls in love since he saw her. Ok. He is very timid, supports a lot of frustration and helps her without any compensation and even without her knowledge. But then, he becames silly and starts to do lots of stupid and childish things.

Don't know who wrote this drama and if koreans have different ways of dealing with hormones. In some dramas, kissing is like proposing. Here, they kiss, they are always grabbing Go Ho's arm and touching her. Maybe if they were ugly, she could think this is sexual harrassment or even the reviewers...

When i finished yesterday the drama i was bored to death. Even with short episodes i think it's too long and i made myself watch until the end...

ACTING - it is ok

REWATCH - never

Cute fun romcon

Go Ho's Starry Night started out great!! Seems like the perfect romcom has a beautiful cast, the acting overall was good. Off we go the first five episodes really loving it, got comfy and settled for what I hope would be a great memorable short series, Loved that the episodes were short and to the point, however, after a while with the 4 guys in the office going after the one girl it got boring and tedious. The fire started to sizzle for me at episode 8... nevertheless, I held on for 9 more episodes, hoping the plot would pick up or there would be some sort of development with at least one of the suitors, but alas that was not to be.. By the end of episode 18, my brain was fried, the same cycle with each episode, my brain was screaming it couldn't watch anymore. So to as to prolong my agony I skipped to the last episode to see who she decided to choose... For a romcom, there was no direction nor progress. It was short, but felt really long.. I fast forward the episode 19, was ready for it to end. Seriously the ex's explanation what was that??? who was that random guy on the park bench between her and her bother?

I somewhat enjoyed this drama but can not give anything more than 3 start.
It may because i am biased by my culture, but almost every episode has a scene where it would be considered as sexual harassment or office power abuse.
Maybe because i am seeing in certain light but i couldn't accept any male characters behaviour towards females.
Also, always wondering why females characters taking males characters sh*t.

Impossível não se apaixonar!!!!

Esse foi um dorama que comecei sem muitas expectativas, mas ele me surpreendeu muito, fiquei abismada como a protagonista tem traços muito parecidos comigo, tudo aconteceu no tempo certo (legal também foi ver o amadurecimento da prota ao correr dos anos, tanto emocional, como pessoal e profissional) a historia em si eu achei muito boa mesmo! a analogia das estrelas com a percepção superficial das pessoas foi um ponto chave , com o pensamento de que as opiniões podem mudar muito quando olhadas de perto
Resumindo: Recomendo para todos aqueles que querem assistir uma serie BOA para relaxar da rotina, os episódios são bem curtinhos e a historia faz vc querer maratonar!! ☆☆☆☆☆

Stary night is a so - so drama (I actually think that so - so is the only appropriate phrase for this drama). The good thing about it is that it's quick and easy to watch. It actually reminded me of Bridgit Jones (a milder and less funny version of it). Some of the love stories were interesting and there was chemistry between the two lovers. However the office drama was not that good and actually confused a little. To be honest, I couldn't figure out what was happening till the third episode. But it's a fast paced drama with only 20 minutes episodes. The performances were okay; the leading lady wasn't that good, but the guys were good enough. So 4 out of 10.
