Synopsis
A Japanese take on Notting Hill (1999). Sosuke Nakata (Kusanagi Tsuyoshi), is just your everyday salaried worker. There is really nothing special that stands out about Nakata. He is a serious guy, whose life mostly consists of going back and forth to the office each day.
Suddenly one day though, Nakata just happens to meet a certain woman by coincidence-top star, Hikaruko Kirishima (Fujiwara Norika). Just by talking to her, Nakata is left standing feeling like he has just seen a dream.
Several days later, Kirishima calls an emergency press conference.
And there she announces…”I am now dating a gentleman by the name of Sosuke Nakata, a salaried worker, whom I intend to marry.”
An announcement about their “relationship,” out of the blue! More than that, this top star’s boyfriend is just your typical salaried worker!! What does Kirishima have up her sleeve as she hides behind her intrepid smile?!
Nakata obviously has no idea about what happened at the press conference. He also doesn’t know what lies ahead for him at work, and about Hikaruko’s true intentions.
This story, a somewhat funny, but romantic love story, follows the footsteps of a man and woman from very different worlds, as they experience the painful and sometimes remarkable ups and downs of love. — Fuji TV

I watched the 2009 Korean Version “That Fool”….hence I searched the Japanese version to see.
Star No Koi, was very entertaining until you reached episode 8 which kind of drags the drama down until the finale.
I think there was too many misunderstandings between the couple. But overall I recommend this drama to see the hilarious moments from Episode 1 to 7. Very touching and the main actor and actress was very impressive with their roles.
Review: Star No Koi (JDrama)
I started to watch this as my latest Japanese drama because it introduced the story as the Japanese take on Notting Hill. I remembered liking that movie and I wanted to watch something romantic, so I started it. It may resemble the American movie, but it’s just so much more.
Why do you fall in love with a story? There are some love stories, that you like, or find interesting. Some are cute. But there are still others, that just manage to touch something inside you that others may not. To each its own and no two people are affacted in the same way by a story. This one did manage to touch something inside me. I could never explain why, but I’m glad it did, because it will be a drama I will always cherish.
It’s about two people. One a star, a beautiful actress, who constantly has love affairs, but none of them really touch her heart. Then she meets this man, who is not particularly handsome, nor smart, just a regular man working in an office. But for her, he is the one she had always been looking for. The one who changes everything. It’s a Japanese story, so they may or may not get together, but all the same, I still managed to cry a lot.
Please, let them into your heart.
