One of the strongest and most memorable series of 2013 was “The Man from the Star” (drama). Actors, an unusual plot, a balance between comedy, drama and romance, an unfused ending put the drama in the top of the best, according to the audience. Even now, it can be reviewed with interest, because there are no similar paintings yet.
Plot
Are there aliens, and if so, what are they? Little green men with huge eyes in half a face or something amorphous and incomprehensible? Or are they almost like us humans? When looking at Professor Do Min Joon, no one doubts that he is a man, except for envy. Tall, handsome, rich, young and already a professor at a prestigious university. A bit of a snob and a pedant, a rare clean man and does not like close attention to his person - but absolutely ideal people do not exist. That's just Min Joon is not a man. He is the same alien from distant stars who came to Earth in ancient times and lingered on it by the will of circumstances. The same circumstances confront him with the eccentric actress, who believes that the world revolves around her alone. Accustomed to a measured life, Do Min Zhong is not at all going to pay attention to an extravagant girl, but inevitably finds herself drawn into a series of events related to her. And, having got to know the girl better, he realizes that she is not as bad as it seems at first glance, and is quite worthy of his help, and maybe even love.
I must say right away that the actors of the drama "Man from the Star" in Russian, of course, do not speak, but if the series interests you, you can watch it with voice acting or subtitles. The translation was done in a quality manner, so that the meaning is not lost.
The drama "Man from the Star": actors and roles
The actors of the drama are so perfectly matched that the entire series looks in one breath. Even a few bloopers are not striking, because there is no time to look for them, following the development of the plot. And this already says a lot.
Do Min Joon / Kim Soo Hyun
Having come to Earth during the reign of the Joseon Dynasty, Do Min Chung did not assume that he would stay here for a long 404 years. After the death of first love and a series of unsuccessful attempts to help people, the young man decides not to interfere with what is happening around him and becomes just an observer. He carefully hides his superpowers from others and builds a wall of estrangement around himself, which only a few can break through. Min Jun believes only in logic, denying love as such, explaining it from the point of view of psychological and physiological aspects. Everything changes when he meets Jung Sung Yi - a girl surprisingly similar to his beloved from the Joseon times.
The main male role was played by the star of the teenage series “Obsessed with a Dream”. Kim Soo Hyun was born on February 16, 1988. As a child, he was a very quiet and shy boy, so no one even imagined that he would become an actor. However, in order to overcome his shyness, Su Hyun became involved in school productions, and this determined his future fate. The fame came to the actor in 2011 after the role of a student of a music school in Dream High, followed by other interesting projects and numerous advertising contracts.
Jung Sung Yi / Jung Ji Hyun
The beautiful, eccentric and self-confident star of Hallyu is used to being the first in everything. Legends go about her disgusting nature and impenetrable stupidity, but the girl turns any project into a rating one, so the agency turns a blind eye to the flaws and cleans the dirt. So everything looks from the side. In fact, few people know that Jung Song Yi is a vulnerable and lonely girl who has a family, used to living at her expense, and sincerely worried about her few friends. There is no time for sleep, food and normal rest, but she does not dream of another brand clothes, but of a chicken with beer. Well, about meeting with his first love, which saved her from death under the wheels of a truck.

Lee Hyu Kyung / Park Hae Jin
The youngest son of the president of a large company since childhood is used to getting everything he wants. Before meeting with Jung Song I., the obnoxious girl managed to look down on him, even knowing that she received her lucky ticket to show business only thanks to his request. Over time, nothing has changed: as the 28-year-old successor to the business, Hyu Kyung still tries to melt the heart of the beauty and remains her knight, not noticing the other women. Kind, a little naive, honest and sincere, he sees in people only good sides.
Actors of the drama "Man from the Star", playing the main roles, were selected extremely well. Park Hae-jin, the self-proclaimed bridegroom of Jung Song I., was no exception.
Initially, the young man was not going to become an actor: after school, he went into business with a friend and opened his own boutique. But once in Seoul he was spotted by the Haha Entertaiment agent and after some persuasion he signed a contract with the agency. The film debut took place in 1998 with the film "Promise". Park Hae Jin was remembered for his roles in the dramas "West of Eden," "My Daughter So Young," and "Famous Princesses."
Lee Jae Kyung / Sin Song Rock
The average son of the president, who occupies not the last position in the company, at first glance seems to be a very worthy person. But this is just a mask that Lee Jae Kyung used to wear since childhood. Underneath is a real monster who will easily kill her brother and beloved woman if they get in the way of the goal.
Actors of the drama "Man from the Star" can masterfully play not only goodies, and Sin Song Rock is a clear confirmation of this. From his villain throughout the series goosebumps run, although in real life the actor is diametrically opposed to his character. According to rumors, Son Rock is a kind, rather soft and responsive person.
On the account of the actor more than 10 dramas and films, although he himself prefers to play in musicals.
Yu Se Mi / Yu In Na
Yu Se Mi is a school friend of Jung Song I. Everyone believes that she, as an angel, is kind, sweet, calm and hardworking.

From school, hopelessly in love with Lee Hyu Kyung and forced to play the role of a friend of both a guy and Jung Sung Yi, suffering from this. At the first opportunity, grabs the chance to become a top actress, forgetting about many years of friendship.

Minor roles
Actors of the series (drama) "Man from the Star", who played secondary roles, deserve no less attention. Thanks to their game, the characters did not look like the background for the main characters, but live interesting people with their problems and desires.
