''Stars Falling From the Sky'' (; also known as ''Wish Upon a Star'') is a 2010
South Korean television drama broadcast on
SBS.
Plot
Jin Pal-gang (
Choi Jung-won) has worked at an insurance firm for five years, but she spends more than she makes and has racked up credit card debt. Loud-mouthed and rash, she has a pretty immature personality despite her 25 years of age and her life's greatest goal is to find a handsome, perfect man and live in married bliss. But she suddenly becomes the guardian for her five younger adopted siblings when her parents pass away.
Won Kang-ha (
Kim Ji-hoon) is Pal-gang's co-worker and romantic interest, a sharp insurance company lawyer who was abandoned as a child and has trouble opening up to others - until he meets Pal-gang and her siblings.
