Interestingly enough, Park Shin Hye and Hyun Bin were the ones in mind for the main characters of this drama, (of course, we now know they refuse this script in favor of “Memories Of The Alhambra“)however, Lee Je Hoon and Chae Soo Bin are proving to be, as their interpretations show, simply brilliant.

Among the most interesting characters in “Where Stars Land“, we have to talk about the mysterious Lee Soo Yeon, this character is very complete and Lee Je Hoon interprets it in a very special way, giving it certain nuances that give us a unique character, he is an experienced actor and he understood his character thoroughly, he takes you from a very tragic life marked by his disability, feeling so vulnerable and at the same time surprising everyone with his super strength, he is a man of deep emotions, that doesn’t love easily but when he does, he loves all heartily. the intense emotions he developed for Han Yeo Reum, moves our hearts, it is simply fantastic.

Lee Je Hoon “Where Stars Land” (SBS)

His co-star Chae Soo Bin as Han Yeo Reum, is not far behind, her character also has many unique features, she is not only the extremely clumsy and naive girl, not at all, her character goes beyond that, she had a childhood marked by the divorce of her parents and filled with Bullying from her classmates, elements that make her who she is, and I really hope to see their total transformation as this drama ends.

The heart of a romance drama is the chemistry between the leads, and this couple so has it, their first kiss in the airport was such an awaited moment for the audience (yes, including me).

And although “Where Stars Land” is a drama that focuses on its main characters and undoubtedly they are the ones who give life to this story, it also has other entertaining characters and another romantic couple to focus on, Kim Kyung Nam as Oh Dae Ki and Lee Soo Kyung as Na Young Joo, being Oh Dae Ki that sexy, protective and compassionate superior and she a coarse and reckless woman, with the super emotional wall. I’m so waiting for Dae Ki to crack that wall.

Where Stars Land” definitely has met all the expectations so far and is not even finished yet! as we get closer to the final chapters we will share our favorite moments,  meanwhile, you can watch it here on VIKI, don’t miss it!
