Writer Park Ji Eun explained the purpose of "You who came from the stars".

On the afternoon of Oct. 16, writer Park Ji Eun of SBS’ “You who came from the Stars” clarified at the 9th Asian Drama Writers’ Conference held at the International Conference Hall of the Nuritkum Square Business Center in Seoul what she wanted to pass through with the drama.

Writer Park Ji Eun said, "I do not think that You who came from the stars became a favorite domestically and internationally because of the elements and the new device. I wanted to talk about sacrifice and communication. The alien Do Min Joon played by actor Kim Soo Hyun, has the most lonely existence in the universe just like the top star Cheon Song Yi played by actress Jun Ji Hyun, who was brilliant on the surface, but was a loner inside. It was the story about how two lonely people were able to communicate."

"Two people met in the universe and made sacrifices for each other. It gained sympathy from a lot of people. I think the reason why it hit the limelight and went beyond nationality and age, is that people were tired of selfish relationships", she said.

From SBS’ “You Who Came from the Stars” (2013), MBC’s “Queen of Housewives” (2009), “Queen of Reversals” (2010) and KBS2 TV’s “My Husband Got a Family” (2012), writer Park Ji Eun got one box office hit after another. Recently, “You who came from the stars” received a pilot order from the ABC TV station in the US, details of the contract with Sony Pictures are being coordinated. As the writer of “You who came from the Stars”, Park Ji Eun will indirectly participate in the US remake in the capacity of Executive Producer, together with the HB Entertainment production representatives.
