The Downfall of Lee Min Ho? Why 'When the Stars Gossip' is a FAILURE!

The Fall of Lee Min Ho?When the Stars Gossip is a FAILURE!
When we heard that Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin would star together in a series called When the Stars Gossip, expectations skyrocketed - literally. After all, we're talking about two massive names in K-drama, with legions of fans around the world.

[@clairewhetstone2775]

I love this drama . People are too harsh and haven’t given it a chance right from the start It sounds like some people can only accept a certain style of acting from the leads and when they go out and beyond they are criticized. Such a shame to have a myopic view. The drama is much better than the criticism!

[@dalco6127]

I agree. I actually LIKE LMH showing some comedy chops. How 'bout maybe Dr. Gong being attracted to her BRAIN! As for the actor from IOTNBO I'm buying his "evil" character. I think the actors are bringing it! If you want to criticize the storyline...that's the writers!!! Place your blame there.

[@viannanolen-peters1392]

When The Stars Gossip is a. Excellent drama! Too bad South Korea citizens can’t appreciate an amazing drama.

[@relaxernoob2817]

Exactly

[@maureenackerley8024]

I'll have to watch it! 🇦🇺

[@abrar_vr46]

Nahh it's overrated

[@leeminhosgurl]

The series is only on episode 7-give it a chance. Lee Min Ho is the blueprint of the Hallyu King. He will never fall. He knows what he’s doing, so please don’t jump ahead and predict things about him just yet.

[@danalucia-k6w]

You said that lee min ho got us used to a certain type of behavior of the characters he played. The fact that here he approaches another way of interpretation shows that he is talented, versatile and can easily change his style. It is to be praised, not criticized. And anyway, the series has only just begun. Go Lee Min Ho, you are the best!

[@ellalatta2416]

And he will still receive an award because he is a fan favorite

[@joyfelix1699]

After watching so many Korean dramas . This one is such fun and beautifull acting revealing some great emotion , can’t wait for the following episodes ❤

[@phyllisloconte8780]

I am personally enjoying this drama and will not put down the performers wh are performing in them. They deserve better! I'm OK with you Lee Min Ho!!

[@ireneng5411]

When it comes to “Love” no matter how intelligent and competent they are at their job they become clumsy and even awkward. His character in this drama is actually adorable and admirable. Watching this drama and loving it 🌹

[@gwynmcc]

Negativity rained down upon "BACKSTREET ROOKIES" like a plague, but I unequivocally adored the series and prayed that it would come to the states. I love the innovative spirit of "WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP". Perhaps, viewership will uptick in coming episodes. Look at the full-blown crisis in episode 7 !! Didn't see that coming, did you !?!

[@wysteriacarlino1302]

What is wrong with people!? This is a different & fun drama!!!❤❤❤ It's a romcom drama in space. Not every drama should be so perfect & deep. Could the writing be better, could the direction be better, or ya ya ya... sure. I am still enjoying it & love the actors. It's not a failure to me. ❤

[@RosaDIGIUSEPPE-dw6cd]

Je suis d'accord avec toi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏💯💯💯💞

[@feliciawashington4538]

I SERIOUSLY AND ABSOLUTELY love Lee Min Ho...and will support his work as well as Geon Ho Jin. When Korean king Lee Minho revealed his adult comeback photoshoot months ago the netizens attacked him BUT I was like😍 and expect him to play cutie love dramas forever(BE SERIOUS)then this is no surprise they are attacking the ratings I would LOVE to see him as a villain like hard core! That love kdrama get boring a n.v d they are unrealistic. Its AMAZING to see them branch out I SUPPORT YOU ALWAYS LEE MIN-HO AND ALL THE CAST OF WHEN STARS GOSSIP!❤❤💫

[@preciousgems6789]

Well said I love this bold new step the directors have taken. Outer space is an intriguing concept for kdramas. The cast consists of some heavy hitters to just need more build up to both his romances to be certain the narrator here isn't wrong the story is superficial when it comes to the romantic and the villain arc of the love triangle. There's absolutely no great need to root for any of the love stories over another. The heiress is dealt a rotten blow here😢

[@ad7337]

It's not a failure. This is better than other kdrama.

[@BohoDevi]

Watching this from India and I am surprised it was not well received in Korea. The production is so good.

[@SangamTyagi]

I am also watching it 🇮🇳

[@susan49c]

Not every film is a huge hit!!! You would have to be an idiot to expect a particular actor to have every role they play to be a massive hit. Because this film failed to be a mega hit netizens are jumping in as if this is the start of Le Min Ho's decline as an actor which is absolutely ridiculous. The only reason posts like this appear is to make money! It's "always" about money! If they can't make money they won't post it. One way to stop posts like this is to tap 👎🏻if they get enough 👎🏻it will affect their money and that is what they do not want.

[@eleanorjuarez3748]

We love this drama in the Philippines....❤

[@Liferhythmharmony]

Loved this drama,specially the simplistic character portrayed by Lee Min Ho.The drama had just began and probably it will slowly unfold.Not worth this harsh criticism,its absolutely must watch and keeps one intrigued till the end of the episodes.Besides the heart touching performance by Lee and others.Looking forward to watch it till the end.Lee Min Ho is absolutely versatile and class apart artist.If you watch Pachinko,there he brilliantly performed a complex and layered character,then in the drama "Personal taste', he played a totally different character and have done absolute justice to the role,if you watch minutely he projects different characters with so much of layered details and fineness.We just loved him in every character that he played and that we have managed to watch till now in India.

[@KarenRaspa]

I don’t understand why Koreans don’t like this drama! I’m watching from theUS and I think is is a great story that is not like all the Korean dramas. It a new story line and very emotional! They are both amazing actors and bring such emotions of how beautiful love can be . ❤🇺🇸

[@cindypoole6792]

I really like this series, because it's a roll reversal. I don't know why it's getting bad reviews in Korea. I like that Lee MIn-ho is playing more of a "victim/needs help" than the guy who is always saving the woman. Maybe that's why it's getting bad reviews in Korea, because they want to see Lee Min-ho is the He-man/Mr. Strong.

[@lizuk3052]

I am watching this in the UK 🇬🇧 at the moment and really enjoying this drama also it’s frustrating waiting for next series so this evening I will get to watch two series together you need to watch till the end ❤️❤️❤️Hopefully all actors and crew are doing well 🌞🌞🌞Keep your chin up 🇬🇧

[@MusicHeartWorld]

@@lizuk3052 I so agree. Lol. Waiting is agonizing 😃

[@lizuk3052]

Downfall of Lee Min Ho what a load of bullshit totally wrong wording!!!!!! Totally inappropriate words okay maybe ratings are what is expected but surely this is not a reason to assume a person downfall also have you watched the whole series????? Remember in this world you can’t get 10 of 10 for everything but you know you have done your best and happy within yourself UPWARDS AND ONWARDS to LMH and all the cast and crew in this drama🌞🌞🌞🌞🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@CindyPoole-oj7ed]

I really like the series. It's different from what Lee Minho usually does.

[@DStainetheDivine1]

It hasn’t ended & already rated as a flop? There is no downfall to this drama, true fans like me are watching faithfully. All drama don’t have to be solely about Sex and Murder. I am loving every episode. I’ve watched every episode 4 or more times. This drama has peaked my curiosity about space exploration, and I am wanting to learn more about astronauts & astronomy. It’s teaching me something new. Now whenever a launch takes places IRL I will definitely have to watch. WOW no reason why he’s interested in her that goes to show that people are shallow can’t you see why he became interested in her? Lee Min Ho is displaying his exceptional ability to portray any character. You’re wrong about his comedic side I believe he is finally playing his authentic self. He is supposed to be able to portray different characters not always be the same character in every show. That’s not what an actor does.

[@phyllisloconte8780]

I can't wait for today's episode! Bring it on.

[@Ekinhae]

Knet don’t like this drama since they not really into science fiction, or same things happen to silent sea. Plus they said the s e x scene not necessary, and they said Lee Minho and go Hyo Jin no chemistry. I really like sci-fi and go Hyo Jin acting really good.

[@creativecool73]

I don’t think its that bad, its actually a very different story, yes it could’ve been better but its definitely better than some recent stupid love stories, and I am so glad LMH is trying different roles ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 even The king eternal monarch did not work in Korea, when it was such a phenomenal amazing story.. yes this one is not to that level, but its definitely not that bad.. wish story was little better, anyway I think this one is still better than recent idiotic love stories. ❤❤ I will watch till the end…

[@maryloumonheim8724]

I am enjoying every minute of this show.

[@sapbajaj1679]

Best drama ever❤❤❤

[@dance4ever940]

huh??? fake news. who says this is a flop? I can't wait to watch it every week?????

[@VivianeSATTEZZI]

Je trouve que les commentaires négatifs sont vraiment excessifs ... il est trop tôt pour juger ce drama...attendons la fin du 16eme épisode pour poser un jugement de valeur. Personnellement j'adore ce drama. L'alchimie entre les deux protagonistes principaux est en train de se développer et LMH est en train de s'affirmer en tant qu'homme auprès de la commandante ... à suivre ! ✌️✌️

[@ParkhoonMinlee]

Minho best ask the star excellent supper drama I love you my dear oppa ❤❤

[@josephinescully2937]

I love this drama ,what are they talking about.

[@MusicHeartWorld]

Well made drama. The story line is unique. The CGI/ zero gravity ambience shown so well. Honestly, any drama,song or artist Koreans don't appreciate, does well internationally. Keep hating so we in the rest of the world can love, admire and keep asking for more. 😊

[@atomreakpabio4631]

Have you watched episodes 7 and 8!!!! It is everything!!!!It is one of the best dramas ive watched and its amazing. And i think you are so wrong, each episode is different. I am invested and excited! I think its a brilliant story and its unfortunate that you cant see it. Enough with the same old same old. This drama has made me remember why i fell in love with kdramas in the first place! I am proudly watching from the UK

[@hina.fathima49]

Loving the drama though... 😢

[@erakomariah]

It is a great drama! ❤ Too bad some just want the reguler lovey dovey thing 😢

[@majaandreevska450]

People need to stop nitpicking. Just relax and watch the show. There's no need to stress about tv shows and movies, it's entertainment.

[@normabaluyot5679]

I still love Boys over flower Ang Legend of the Blue Sea for LMH

[@Mima-n1l]

Ce drama est magnifique ❤❤❤

[@ЛанаНфорнах.СВЕТЛЯЧКИ]

А ты эксперт и КИНОКРИТИК? ШЕДЕВР! Именно так я могу назвать эту дораму... Игра актёров на уровне.. МИНО и вовсе вне конкуренции..

[@denysechun]

This is the best best kdrama❤❤❤

[@GlendaMacDonald-c7r]

This series is great i love both the lead actors and the story is excellent

[@sheilamorris5266]

I find it refreshing and novel and love the exchanges between the ML and FL. It's not going for realism, but telling a fictional story in space. They've created humor, tension, suspense, nail biters and romance. I say well done!

[@moneymitxh6588]

This series 🔥

[@alaskaq8879]

Yes, there is no chemistry between the two leads and i prefer them with their partners. But the theme of space and the action parts are very good. Esp episode 9 when Dong-A rescued them. I super loved that part! Never seen any space drama so it was really fascinating to see that and just learn about these things

[@SamayraAwasthi]

Im obsessed with this show idc what the netizens say but for mr it's too interesting

[@BayanRaan]

The drama is perfect, it is obvious that this channel has an issue with production company. There is nothing to say his acting since it is beyond perfect. Your title is childish I believe your date is coming from a body part that you’re sitting on.

[@kritirai3867]

Not liking this drama 😢but still gonna watch it till the end coz of Lee Min Ho

[@abhishek-o9h4q]

HIS FALL BEGAN WITH KING THE ETERNAL MONARCH

[@BeaJai-xl5he]

People didn’t give it a chance. The first two episodes are not great. The style is somewhat different & one couldn’t identify with certain things. But things changed starting episode 3. It’s a very good tv show. I think it’s the first episode that ruined it - made Lee min ho loo like a m o r o n. People don’t like that.

[@olitambasakan8839]

Love the this drama

[@happyzqueenv6186]

I just watched the 1st episode and I cannot endure anymore . There’s no chemistry . Truly disappointing.

[@anushasathe4841]

I loved this drama too. Its really an excellent drama. However there are some points uptill now which seem exaggerated: 1. when they talk too much about mice mating and fruit flies mating and the way the FL gets excited abt all this. 2. when they talk too much about the eggs and sperms and morula etc. It feels like watching the whole reproductive procedure through a microscope on Discovery or NatGeo channel. 3. The temperature of the spaceship is -20 and yet the ML and FL could think about having sex and not survival. Shouldnt their mind go blank in such scenario where they dont know whether they would survive or not? But ofcourse its a drama so anything is possible😂

[@SueSmith-if1qe]

I watched it all together and it’s better Chopping up the series isn’t good It’s the writers

[@lexxi1129]

alors juste parce que je n'aime pas ce que les autres aiment, je ne suis pas normal ? présenter sa lèvre supérieure à sa lèvre inférieure et se taire.

[@littlescully3637]

I must admid I needed the 1, 2 eps to get into it... bit damn ❤❤❤ Eps 8 🤯🤯🤯

[@normabaluyot5679]

The Heirs also very good drama

[@PetsDi]

I think its because they are in Space.. and theres no story even in hollywood, made that they fall in love in space. Have you ever watch series in space the 2 astronauts fall in love and made se sex in space? The science are cannot be recognized. I think when they were back to earth, maybe there will be a twist. The story is so fast about the biography of each character. The intro of each characters are lacking it was so fast. But its okay. But it was good.

[@DheaMediana]

Why I never heard about this drama? Insane. Lemme try to watch.

[@FLC33-35]

You did an excellent analysis of why so many eager viewers were disappointed. Hopefully those involved in its creation will pay close attention. Nevertheless with a mostly good cast I shall probably watch till the end.

[@mbrosseau04]

Having watched so far up through episode 8, I totally agree with everything in this analysis. I can only wish and pray that it improves from this point, but I have big doubts. And I have really loved these actors in many other dramas in the past. Just sad.

[@tammygeorge1638]

I'm guessing this is all your opinion! Cause I think it's ok thus far. And I've not seen anyone else really saying it's bad either! The only thing bad about it is Netflix not showing the whole show! Instead of making people wait for more episodes! Which a lot of other media platforms are doing. Now that's something that is really bad and pisses people off! When you're paying monthly for the movie platform and yet you're waiting to even watch it!🤷😞🤔😡🤷

[@aishaambreen3840]

72 comments doesn't make drama success..its viewership and ratings ..i totally agree with you . First its script and story second main lead chemistry third weird topics... The story is sex,soerm,egg, intercourse infedility...where is comedy?? Where is romantic comedy??? Dialigues r i dobt know what love is.. shall we do it?? Know justify it . Everyone is in bed sex scene and cheating eachother in the name of love...gong cheat goeun kang cheat eve kangsoo cheat goeun eve cheat kang..what the hell is love?? Gong kyojin looks like older sister to minho .. no attraction no charm .hanji infact is more beautiful and attractive... drama in korea runs through coupke chemistry not through sex in space or earth..till episode 7 they have sex niw whats the story till epi 16..they will show rescue and more sex on earth??? What next?? Story and appropriate cast is main thing...minho need to think and think again for choosing his next..if he continuing sex scene with older women..he will failed again..

[@victoiredeleusomme4257]

Actually, I wanted to see it, but it just seemed contrived and anciptic space film. Could not get through the first episode. I like the male's actors' skills they just are not on display in this offering. My advice dump any American, hollywood,Netflix or Disney and use only the excellent skills from South Korea. It was such a pleasure to find such talent and now I feel these outside woke and money grubbing jerks that ruin the market in the US are attempting to screw up a great source of excellent entertainment. Your skills are exceptional. Keep it that way, you do not need outside interference.

[@supriyasrr9448]

No chemistry between the lead actors.

[@77narges]

💙💞 @actorleeminho is amazing in this fantastic series with wonderful cast and talented and exceptional creators. The series has a lovely and meaningful storyline by a great writer, amazing director at the helm, it is funny, thrilling, entertaining, beautiful, sexy and deeply romantic, the cinematography and special effects are beautiful and the editing is fantastic🥰💞🔥Obviously the person or people behind this sad and false post must be quite jealous of the talent to post something as stupid and as false as this post. Anyone who knows anything about film and film making and talented artists would never make such ridiculous comments about such a wonderful production!! Audiences around the world love this, and Korean people should be proud of this production and not listen to jealous trolls who know nothing about filmmaking. I highly recommend this series, and this production is so wonderful it will find its audience no matter how much jealous people like the ones behind this post would try to undermine its value! Stop wasting peoples time by writing lies, “When the Stars Gossip” is an exceptionally beautiful and entertaining series💞
