Actress Uhm Jung-hwa succeeded in her second consecutive hit with the drama "My Precious Star" following "Doctor Cha Jung-sook." "My Precious Star" concluded as a Genie TV original drama on the 23rd. The drama tells the story of South Korea's top star who suddenly becomes an ordinary middle-aged woman overnight. The protagonist, Bong Cheong-ja (Uhm Jung-hwa), declares, "Keep living in hell. I will rise again," and begins her journey to reclaim her dreams.

In the drama, Bong Cheong-ja is a character who won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the movie "Miscasting" and is also a businesswoman who established Bong Entertainment. The relationship between Bong Cheong-ja and Dok Go-cheol (Song Seung-heon) develops with affection and trust, and the two confirm their feelings for each other, leading to a pink-hued ending.

Uhm Jung-hwa attracted much attention with an 18% viewership rating in the JTBC drama "Doctor Cha Jung-sook," which aired in 2023. "My Precious Star" also achieved successful results. The drama ranked first on the "Today's TVING" chart and placed high on the OTT platform Viu's charts in Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Singapore.

Both "Doctor Cha Jung-sook" and "My Precious Star" depict characters rediscovering their dreams. In "My Precious Star," Dok Go-cheol says, "I've seen people who have achieved their dreams, but you, Cheong-ja, are the first person I've seen who has regained a lost dream." The process of a middle-aged person moving toward their goals is not easy, but it deeply moved viewers.

The reunion of Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon after 10 years became another hot topic of the drama. The two previously starred together in the 2015 film "Miss Wife." In this work, the two actors showcased a cheerful yet sweet chemistry. In an interview, Uhm Jung-hwa expressed satisfaction with their rapport, saying, "It would be wonderful if I could meet Seung-heon again through a project even after 10 years."

Director Choi Young-hoon's direction captured the chemistry between Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon even more attractively. According to Nielsen Korea, "My Precious Star" recorded a 4.3% viewership rating based on paid households for its final episode, with 3.9% in the metropolitan area. This set a new highest rating for ENA's Monday-Tuesday dramas in 2025.

Song Seung-heon shared his thoughts, saying, "After a long time of filming, it truly became a special work," and Lee El said, "I tried to show a new side of myself, and I am filled with joy that the challenge was received so well." "My Precious Star" ended successfully, receiving applause from many.
