My Love from the Star Season 1 Episode 21 aired February 27, 2014 on SBS as the finale of a 21-episode drama that averaged 24 percent nationwide viewership and became a pan-Asian cultural event. IMDb audiences scored the series 8.2. The Drama Corner called it 'an exhilarating drama that deftly mixes romance, comedy, thrills and fantasy into one enjoyable ride.' The finale resolves the central emotional argument the series had been staging across 21 episodes: whether an immortal who has chosen 400 years of distance can commit to a mortal love knowing the structural cost. The resolution became one of the most-discussed K-drama endings of the early 2010s, cited as a template for how the genre handles the immortal-mortal romance convention. The farewell scene between Min-joon and Song-yi, structured around what is left unsaid, is the episode's primary legacy.
