I won’t watch a drama purely because it’s pretty; conversely, a good drama that suffers in the aesthetics department won’t turn me completely off.

However, there is something to be said for a drama that makes its aesthetics a priority, and A Star’s Lover expends considerable effort to achieve its artistic feel, its music, its overall ambiance. In that way, it’s film-esque; style is given more weight
