The drama draws a love story between two co-workers at an insurance company, with Kim Ji Hoon playing the company’s whip-smart lawyer. Because he carries the hurt of having been abandoned by his birth mother, he doesn’t easily open his heart to others. Jin Pal Kang (Choi Jung Won) is a 25-year-old employee of the company who becomes responsible for her five younger adopted siblings after her parents meet with sudden deaths.

My comments:
The first episode of Stars Falling From The Sky (SBS, 20 episodes) didn’t really impress me and I expected myself to give up this drama later. The kids were overly loud and Pal Gang as the lead annoyed me at first because she was an airhead with irresponsible and selfish attitudes towards life and work. But from second episode onward, the drama gets better and better and everything that I thought was annoying grew on me. I cried buckets when Pal Gang has to grow up overnight to become a ‘mother’ of her 5 younger siblings (who are not blood related, by the way) and face the harsh reality of survival. When the kids are in crying mode, prepare tissues!
Although the summary of the drama screams weepy melodrama but surprisingly, it had a lot of funny moments. Every scene that involves Tae Gyu is funny. That poor guy, if I didn’t root for Kang Ha, I wouldn’t mind Tae Gyu ending up with Pal Gang. It’s hilarious to see the kids arguing about the pros and cons of the suitors for Pal Gang. I always like the plot of bubbly girl melting the ice prince so it’s a joy to see Kang Ha peeling his icy exterior little by little because of the Jin family. I have to say this: baby Nam is just too cute!
Although I’m glad that it’s a happy ending for mostly everyone but the ending felt rushed. They spend so much time on trying to find Grandpa’s real granddaughter but they didn’t give us a proper revelation scene where they talk about it, embraced or anything. I enjoy Kang Ha and Pal Gang’s bickerings and I like that at the end, it’s Pal Gang’s say when to marry and Kang Ha patiently waiting but how can the scriptwriters deny us some more lovey-dovey scenes. I want some mushiness for them!
Choi Jung Won was good as the caregiver sister Pal Gang and poor her, you can see the actress’s exhaustion, looking haggard as the drama progress, which surprisingly matches the development of her character. I like both actors of this drama Kim Ji Hoon and Shin Dong Wook. Too bad, I didn’t felt much about Shin Dong Wook’s character here. He’s a nice guy and he helped a lot when the heroine was in difficulty but I wasn’t convinced that he loves Pal Gang. I also didn’t care for Jae Young that much. She mostly made me fume because of her desperation and I found her 180 degrees character change at the end too sudden.
If you’re looking for a heartwarming drama, Stars Falling From The Sky is a good addictive one.
The very cute cast

I cried a lot 4 this drama. But I think they need extra episodes to make the story line 2 b smooth especially for the last scenes, 18 to 20. I hope pal gang is going to be an educated gal but she's not and help his grandfarther in the business but she's not. It's really dissapointing me. I want more romance from both of them too..wut a waste of such great drama.
