About My Precious Star
My Precious Star (Korean: 금쪽같은 내 스타), also known as My Troublesome Star, is a 2025 South Korean romantic comedy-drama that aired on ENA and streamed on Genie TV. Across 12 episodes broadcast from August 18 to September 23, 2025, it follows a dazzling actress at the peak of her fame who is suddenly thrown 25 years into the future. On the very night she becomes the youngest performer ever to win a top Best Actress prize in 1999, she is struck by a truck and vanishes from the public eye.
She awakens a quarter of a century later as Bong Cheong-ja, an ordinary middle-aged woman with no memory of the lost decades, only to discover that the glamorous star she once was, Im Se-ra, has become the stuff of unsolved mystery and faded legend. The entertainment world she ruled has moved on without her, the rival who once lived in her shadow now reigns as a global icon, and her former road manager has risen to become one of the most powerful executives in the industry.
Determined to reclaim her shining place and recover her missing memories, Cheong-ja sets out to engineer a tearful comeback. She is drawn into an uneasy partnership with Dokgo Cheol, a hot-tempered former violent-crimes detective demoted to traffic duty who poses as her manager to work a case from the inside. As they chase the truth behind her disappearance, the two uncover a buried connection that could rewrite both of their lives, blending showbiz satire, mystery, and an against-the-odds late-blooming romance.
