"I would give you everything, but not now"

This weekend, it has been raining all day long, so the planned outing has to be abandoned. Looking for a drama to pass the time, I accidentally saw this "Star Love". First of all, I like the name, Star Crossed, it sounds very romantic. However, this is not a romantic drama, it is a typical American drama. The existence of aliens, the Ortrians, gave me some novelty. After watching 7 episodes in one go (currently updated to episode 7), the time passed is still worth it. The men in the show are all handsome. At the time when everyone was full of vigor, and with age, they were also mature and attractive. And the women in the play, don't know why, all look old. Basically, all of them show wrinkles on their faces and foreheads from time to time. Time is a slaughtering knife, especially for women. There is a sentence in the play: "I would like to give you everything, but not now". This kind of love, in my opinion, may not work. There is no war and struggle, no hatred and slaughter, we who live in comfort and noise every day, we who come from ordinary people, are all looking forward to love. Love is a great pleasure second only to firewood, rice, oil and salt. When it comes, how can you refuse it thousands of miles away? Especially someone you love deeply. How much time do we have to wait for the one who "gives you everything". When wrinkles climb up a woman's face one by one, those times when you were loved when you were young will never go back.

Star-Crossed quotes

  • [repeated introduction to episode recap]

    Roman: My name is Roman. Ten years ago, our ship crash-landed on Earth. We came here seeking refuge, but the humans thought that it was an invasion.

    [One human soldier shoots a lone, approaching Atrian through the chest. Weapons fire erupts, yelling]

    Roman: That night, I met a human girl who tried to protect me. A girl I never thought I'd see again. The surviving members of my race, the Atrians, were rounded up and isolated inside a militarized sector. Now, it's 2024. Seven of us have been chosen to attend high school as part of a government integration program. But the humans and the Atrians continue to distrust each other, while I fight to protect my people and the human girl who saved my life, at any cost.
