Shooting Stars Episode 1 Review
With a chaotic office and tired but enthusiastic employees, Shooting Stars Episode 1 gets off to a good start. Lee Sung-kyung shines in her role, which is reminiscent of her role as Kim Bok-joo in the 2017 film Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo. The cast is large, but there isn’t an abundance of information or a lack of character introductions, making the drama appear promising.
Shooting Stars is available to watch on Viki.
