“The sky in Ganseng, Wonju, Gangreung and Chuncheon. Seemed flying plate-shaped object. It was really big and bolted as fast as an arrow. Concurrently with a thunder, it’s gone in a glance. Then the sky cleaned up without any cloud.”
In 1609, the first year of the reign of King Gwanghae, was the first time for Do Min Joon arriving on Earth. He came from a planet what humans called KMT 184.05, a planet which was very similar to Earth. And now, Min Joon has lived for more than 400 years on this planet where we live in. He has adapted with the whole magnetic fields, gravity and even water. His hearing and sight are 7 times better than the common humans’. He can grab something far just by opening his hand, teleport ability to move from his current position to another location and he can also stops time for 1 minute.
From a human’s point of view, he is just 1 mm in distance from being perfect. But there are two prohibitions he must protect himself not to break. First, it’s forbidden for his body liquid (saliva) and blood to mix with human’s. If not, he will partially lost his power and energy. Second, he will die if he kills humans. The first prohibition is not something really crucial as it only needs some time to heal. But for the second one, Min Joon has to protect himself from that one if he wants to live safely in his last three months living on Earth, before going to return to the star where he comes from.
In other side of that country, an actress is waiting for her next shoot in relax. She is Chun Song Yi the arrogant high levelled-star. Fans scream her name and fight to snap her pictures. Manager and assistant have been trained to never make her waiting to be served. Everything she needs, orders and even thinks should be there in time. She appears on TV, magazines, internet or newspaper, either for movie, drama or commercial breaks. It must be a main role if she takes a part on a movie or drama. She gets the most expensive valued contract and her selfie poster hanged on the most luxurious building with the highest monthly payment for an advertisement. In short, she is the Nation Goddess.
But a fame is only a name. Song Yi’s intelligence is not as bright as her career. She always humiliates her own image without realizing she has just shown people her stupidity. She clearly shows that she can not differentiate mokhwa seed (cotton) and mocha. She mentions she consumes profol for anti-ageing instead of propolis. Even a kid knows what ‘garlic’ is. Shame on her when she tweets she wonders why she smells ‘garlic’ on ‘garlic pizza’. Lol.
Another characters are Se Mi, Hwi Kyung, Jae Kyung, Yu Ra and Lawyer Jang. Se Mi is also an actress. She has been Song Yi’s best friend since they were in junior high. Together they transform from kid actresses to be how they are currently. But Se Mi has to accept the fact that Song Yi is hundred steps further than her. She is the first and Se Mi is the least. People call her Song Yi’s shadow and she gets her fame from her status as a close friend of Song Yi. Since they were young, there has been a big lack of success between them.
Song Yi always gets the main role like she always being the employer's daughter and Se Mi is the daughter of servant of Song Yi’s family on drama. Something has intimidated Se Mi for years is the truth that almost the whole role she acts as, are because Song Yi always asks the directors to involve Se Mi in every projects she is in. But Se Mi is the true actress, she can act without script. She hides her true feeling and waits for the right moment to reveal. Hwi Kyung causes her hatred to Song Yi becomes worst.
Hwi Kyung is the second son/heir of the most powerful company in South Korea. He loves Song Yi since forever. Can be guessed! Se Mi loves Hwi Kyung. Or more precisely, she has loved him as long as Hwi Kyung has patiently waited for Song Yi to accept his heart. Song Yi just considers him as the bestest best-friend. Song Yi instead hoping she can meet again with her first love, the man saving her 12 years ago from a car accident. Hwi Kyung is a very understanding man. Without forcing, he keeps by Song Yi’s side and offers her any helps he can give.
Who’s the 12-years-ago man? He is Do Min Joon. He looks the 12-years-ago Song Yi really looked alike Seo Yi Hwa, the first human girl Min Joon had different feeling to. 400 years ago, Min Joon helped Yi Hwa but she then died in his hug to be shield for him from the archery by men chasing to kill them. 12 years later for Song Yi and Min Joon, in her new apartment, it turns out Song Yi is being neighbor with Do Min Joon who is also a professor in the campus Song Yi is studying at.
Song Yi with her overdosis confidence that she is Chun Song Yi the Nation Goddes, pissed off by Min Joon’s indifference showing he never know who she is and never try to find info about her because he needn’t to know. He never pay her attention till unintentionally Min Joon sees a family picture of hers which he finds Yi Hwa on it. Min Joon forces Song Yi to tell who the real she is.
In a private wedding party held by one of Song Yi’s celeb friend on a yacht, Yu Ra, her rival in entertainment industry, found dead. Police announced it is a suicide and people start to attack Song Yi verbally. They curse her to die. It’s not a secret what a bad sunbae (senior) and hoobae (junior) relationship the two actresses have. Yu Ra is older than Song Yi in age while Song Yi is the senior in this industry. (In South Korea, age is not only a number matter. It’s something affects someone in social life and their utterance with others).
Netizens blame Song Yi. They malign that Yu Ra must be desperately for having been simultaneously mocked by the younger. That’s why she commits suicide. This rumour ruins Song Yi’s career. She loses many contracts and has to pay the penalties. She is removed from her on-going drama which is replaced by Se Mi. Even the CEO who always lures her with perfect facility to make her keep staying in his company, secretly arranges a plan to kick her out from his management. But Song Yi is still Song Yi. She has her head straight and walks gracefully and states she is the party who terminates the contract, no desire to continue the drama and she has bored in collaboration with her old CEO. The truth is she has lost everything. But at least she finally knows what the real nature her best friend has is.
There’s still Hwi Kyung, actually. But she wants to lock herself in her loneliness for awhile. Unexpectedly Min Joon is the only one left by Song Yi’s side. He helps her at any time she needs it. Nevertheless, he does it forcefully. He uses his power to stop time to protect her from an antifans wants to hurt her, suddenly appear from nowhere when she almost falls into ravine. And flashback, Min Joon had helped her in the private party when the drunk Song Yi would fall headlong to Han River.
Min Joon who knows more than common humans do, finds Jae Kyung (Hwi Kyung’s older brother) is someone behind Yu Ra’s death. Jae Kyung is a psychophat who has sent his normal ex-wife to a mental hospital and now, Song Yi who knows he and Yu Ra are dating, will be his next target. It’s because Song Yi keeps Yu Ra’s pouch on the night of her death, which there is a USB that stores Jae Kyung’s crimes evidences. Jae Kyung desires Song Yi’s death because he worries she will tell the detectives (one of them is Se Mi’s older brother) working on Yu Ra’s case about his relationship with Yu Ra, who are suspicious it is a murder. That if it’s known Jae Kyung and Yu Ra date, there’s a possibility he will be inspected and his crimes will be revealed. They are indeed dating. And Yu ra who knows his crimes was pregnant of Jae Kyung’s baby.
The weak, careless, stubborn and outspoken Song Yi has won over Min Joon’s heart. Not to mention she is being in her lowest power, makes Min Joon wants to help her more. Song Yi, too. She knows that she has been too dependent with Min Joon but she can feel other than needing calls love. She confesses her love. Remembering there are only two months left to stay on Earth, and when it comes, it will hurts Song Yi more than a rejection, Min Joon tells he never like Song Yi and never feel nervous when they are contiguous. Song Yi doesn’t give up.
Min Joon then lies he never interests in Song Yi as herself. Song Yi’s resemblance with Yi Hwa is the only reason why Min Joon always there to help her. Except than that, nothing. To make her give up, Min Joon reveals his real identity that he actually is an alien. Instead of fear like Min Joon’s old friends who scampered after knew the truth about him, Song Yi precisely considers that’s only his trick to stop annoying him. It breaks her heart and pissed her off at once. If Min Joon fools her by telling he is an alien, so Song Yi is a vampire. Lol.
Min Joon lover her. Loves her so much. That’s why he can’t do what Song Yi orders to never care about her anymore and go away from her life, just leave her alone. Min Joon knows Jae Kyung is targeting her, he applies so many cunning ways to kill Song Yi. Like harming her on shooting set that also hurts his brother to coma and trapping her materialistic mother to sign an exclusive contract with a management under Jae Kyung’s company. Min Joon starts to think killing Jae Kyung is the only way to save Song Yi. But, Lawyer Jang who has been Min Joon's only friend for 30 years, begs him to return to his star safely.
Min Joon then takes a step to be a Manager-lawyer for Song Yi when she acts on action movie where Se Mi gets the main role and she is only a supportive actress. Song Yi asks why. Min Joon says it’s because Song Yi keeps doing things to worry him, like signing contract with random guys and getting caught up in engagement rumours (with Hwi Kyung after he helps Song Yi from an accident in shooting set). Finally he tells the honesty, he loves Song Yi, too. He then explains of how he and his team made the trip to Earth, which involved terraforming an asteroid to make it seem like an ordinary comet, to hide it from the Erath’s view. And to time its arrival to coincide with Earth’s orbit at the point where it’s the nearest the sun. This orbit takes 404 years, so this a month’s time in Min Joon’s last chance to return to his home. Or if not, he will die.
Song Yi hardens her heart, saying she is good in waiting. But waiting for Min Joon to comeback to Earth is not something like waiting for one year even not 10 years. Because Min Joon will never be able to return back to Earth. Song Yi cries. She ask if it’s really impossible for Min Joon to just stay on Earth with her. It has been hundreds of years he lives on Earth and he will go in the minutes they meet? If Min Joon can’t stay, Song Yi asks Min Joon to leave her alone quietly.
Min Joon says yes. But still, it’s far far away from possible for them to forget each other. Song Yi asks Min Joon to spend his last one month to do what couples will do in one or three years of their relationship. Like wearing couple ring in the hundredth day, dinning in Namsan Tower and lock love-lock there, or travelling to Europe in their thiusandth day. Song Yi asks Min Joon to do so because maybe she will bore with Min Joon before the one month period is over. Min Joon agrees, but only less than 1 minute Song Yi can’t see him, she screams and cries telling she worries Min Joon will leave her without saying good bye.
to be continued..
