Shooting Stars

Oh Han-byeol is a sharp, driven PR executive who prides herself on controlling every detail of a campaign. When her agency lands megastar Gong Tae-seong as a client, she discovers he’s the one person who can unravel her plans with a single offhand remark. Their professional clashes spill into private moments, and as they keep colliding over press strategies, public image, and personal boundaries, awkward attraction starts to complicate the workday. The show sticks to the office and industry scenes, focusing on how two very different people handle fame, reputation, and the cost of honesty, while avoiding major plot twists and preserving the core romance for viewers to enjoy.

Released in 2022, Shooting Stars stars Lee Sung-kyoung and Kim Young-dae in the lead roles, with Yoon Jong-hoon, Kim Yoon-hye, and Park So-jin rounding out the main cast. The series mixes workplace comedy with romantic drama and was marketed as a light but emotionally grounded K-drama.

The series didn’t collect major international awards, but it earned attention from audiences and critics for its performances and tone. While it wasn’t a sweep on the award circuit, the cast received praise in reviews and social media conversations during and after its run.

It spurred online discussion about the leads’ chemistry and inspired fan art and commentary on social platforms. For viewers who follow Korean romantic comedies, certain scenes and pair interactions became popular talking points among fan communities.
