A romantic comedy drama about an alien man who landed on Earth 400 years ago during the 17th-century Joseon Dynasty period, falling in love with a modern day actress.Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) is an alien who possesses a near perfect appearance and enhanced physical abilities involving his vision, hearing and speed. His character also happens to be a university professor and He looks 20. Although he holds a cynical view to human beings, but he gets entangled in a sweet love story with actress Chun Song Yi (Jeon Ji Hyun). Review: At last! It's here! I love this series. - I was waiting anxiously for it to be released to DVD and my favorite Seller timothyng001 got it right away. I watched it first on Dramafever and had to have the DVD. This is the official DVD from the production company so it is high quality. The English subs are excellent. I'm pretty sure that they are done by Dramafever because they do a lot of the subs for Poh Kim. This is the story of an alien that has been living on Earth for 400 hundred years. Living his life with minimal physical interaction with humans has caused him to lead a very solitary personal life. He finally is getting the opportunity to go back to his planet, so of course he meets the love of his life to foil his plans. She's a movie celebrity with an interesting personality and family dynamic. Add some unsolved murders, an insane CEO, lifelong friends, two crazy and deluded stage-moms and other supporting cast to the mix and it rounds out to be an excellent series. There's also a secondary storyline from the Joseon era that coincides with the present day drama's and is well done by the way it interweaves the two storylines together smoothly. Although I have paid accounts to several websites to watch Kdramas commercial free, when I find one I really love, I purchase the DVDs. My Love From The Star was worth adding to my collection. It made me laugh, cry, shake my fist at the screen and yell at the characters for various different reasons. I love shows that make you have a physical reaction to them and this one qualifies. I highly recommend it. Review: Over the top - The actress is fun and over the top. The show was fun watching.

Great Superman Style Love Story
I'm not much of a Rom/com kind of guy, but this is one fantastic drama. Just like the 90s show Louis and Clark, it's basically a Korean version of Superman with mystery and adventure thrown in. Does it feel like watching a soap at some parts? Yes. But at least it makes up for those few minutes of melodrama with well written characters, a slow simmering mystery, and a story that is well thought out from beginning to end. Yeah, the unfortunate removal of some tracks from the broadcast version does suck. But on this disc set they didn't omit the afterstory/extra bits at the end of each episode like I've heard from other box sets of this series. Trust me, if you're a Superman fan or like a good love story, then you won't be disappointed!

Great movie
I have watched this dvd five times already. The quality of the picture and the sub-titles are perfect. I have been a fan of Superman since I was a little girl. Although he doesn't fly with a cape in this movie, it is full of a lot of action. The love story is beautiful. I recommend it highly.

Entertaining.
Soo Hyun Kim does his acting very well. Not many man actors can show emotions readily. Too bad, he would've been great as Wang So in Scarlet Lovers. He and IU would be interesting acting together. I enjoyed this movie, Ji-Hyun Jun was great!, just like Legend of the Blue Sea. With all of her problems, she maintains her professionalism.

Ok movie
The plot doesn’t work for me and after seeing it once I didn’t feel the need to repeat viewing it again. Acting was great it was just not a good concept.

Definitely a buyer!
This show I watched on a free website and app and after I finished watching it, I just HAD to buy it!!! The acting between every actor was phenomenal! I've never before seen a show where it made me feel every single emotion; to laughing a long with the story to crying because you just connect with what the characters are going through. I was hooked from the very first episode and I watched 21 episodes in 2 days. I love the melodrama, the romance, the comedy, every single thing this show has I just fell in love with it. I HIGHLY recommend you buy this DVD. It comes 6 discs in one with a wonderful surprise inside. My family and fiancé are hooked on this show. What are you waiting for? Go buy it! You won't regret it!!!

Quality of products/sellers
First time purchase of a KDrama and was apprehensive about quality of product. However this seller turns out to be very good. The dvd set arrived two days early and in good condition. There was a slight defect in the first disc. When the seller was contacted, they responded quickly and sent a replacement disc. Very happy with my purchase.
