About Came To Me And Become A Star
Hajin works at a company that's going through financial difficulties and hasn't been able to pay her for months. Gangseok has a well paying tuition job but his student and family debt and the fact that his mother is in a coma means that he's always short on money. They are both struggling to make it in this cold and difficult reality we call life. One day they end up at a blind date service meeting party and find that they are 98% compatible with each other. Certain random happenings makes Gangseok want to believe that Hajin is the one. But there's one secret that they can't share which is that they're both so poor that they're living at a cheap student hostel. Will they be able to overcome their current situation of hidden poverty and realize true love? Or will the harshness of reality split them apart? A touching and yet coldly realistic love story...
Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Came To Me And Become A Star leans on a strong ensemble — Jung So-min, Kim Ji-seok, Lee Byung-joon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2013.
