Kim Soo Hyun’s enduring popularity is once again in the spotlight as his 2013 smash-hit drama My Love from the Star prepares for a global resurgence. Despite the shadow cast by the recent dating scandal involving the late Kim Sae Ron’s family, the K-drama is gaining fresh momentum. The show is slated for its South American debut and a re-airing in Taiwan, further proving Kim Soo Hyun’s timeless international appeal.
Brazil will soon welcome My Love from the Star to its TV screens for the very first time. SBT, one of the country’s leading broadcasters, confirmed that the beloved series will begin airing on June 9 as part of its newly launched Asian content segment titled Asian Production Line. The move follows a noticeable rise in demand for Korean entertainment in Brazil, highlighting the growing influence of K-dramas in Latin America.
Excitement for the Brazilian release is already evident across social media, where fans are eagerly counting down the days. Brazilian viewers new to the series and longtime global fans alike are looking forward to reliving the charming fantasy-romance that has become a cultural touchstone in the Korean drama world.
Simultaneously, Taiwan is reigniting its own fascination with the drama, with Korea Entertainment TV announcing a re-broadcast. This comes at a critical time for Kim Soo Hyun, whose recent projects such as Knock-Off have faced delays. The renewed attention on My Love from the Star could help reignite his overseas career and open up new international opportunities.
The story of My Love from the Star centers on Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun), an alien who has been living on Earth for centuries, and his complicated love story with celebrity neighbor Cheon Song Yi (Jun Ji Hyun). Its unique mix of science fiction, romance, and suspense captured hearts worldwide and remains a fan-favorite more than a decade after its original broadcast.
With the drama returning to global audiences and Kim Soo Hyun back in the conversation, the timing couldn’t be more ideal. As controversies and career hurdles swirl around him, the revitalized interest in one of his most iconic roles may offer both a reminder of his star power and a springboard for his next career chapter.
