My Love From the Star is a popular Korean drama that aired in 2013 and became a massive hit both domestically and internationally. The show is a romantic comedy with an added twist of science fiction and supernatural elements. The plot revolves around a millennia-old alien, Do Min-joon (played by Kim Soo-hyun), who has been living on Earth for 400 years and falls in love with a famous actress, Cheon Song-yi (played by Jeon Ji-hyun).

Episode 1 is the beginning of their love story. The episode starts with a flashback to Joseon Era, where Do Min-joon looks through a telescope and sees a shooting star. In the present day, he is a college professor who is counting down the days until he can return to his home planet. He lives a solitary life, having seen the people he loves grow old and die. However, he soon realizes that he may have to stay on Earth for a little bit longer than expected.

In the same city, Cheon Song-yi is a popular actress who is preparing for her comeback drama. Her life is full of glamour and attention, but her personality is far from likeable. She is arrogant, selfish and rude to everyone around her, including her long-time stylist and friend Yoo Se-mi (played by Yoo In-na). Song-yi lives in a luxury apartment complex that happens to be the building next to Do Min-joon's.

Song-yi's life takes a turn for the worse when she is stalked by her ex-boyfriend and her marriage scam is exposed to the media. She becomes the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons, and her fans turn against her. She decides to take a break and visit her family in the countryside.

On her way to her hometown, she gets stranded in the middle of nowhere due to a sudden snowstorm. This is where she meets Do Min-joon, who is disguised as a taxi driver. Song-yi, unaware of his identity, gets into his car and starts commenting on his looks. She even takes a selfie with him, thinking he is a charming stranger. Do Min-joon, on the other hand, is fascinated by Song-yi's beauty but tries to deny his feelings for her.

After the two part ways, Do Min-joon sees a TV commercial of Song-yi and recognizes her as the famous actress. He realizes that there is a possibility that they might meet again, and he is not sure if that is a good thing or not.

The rest of the episode follows Song-yi's life as she deals with the aftermath of her scandal. She tries to redeem herself by going on a talk show and apologizing to her fans. However, her attempt fails miserably, and she becomes the laughing stock of the internet.

Meanwhile, Do Min-joon tries to distance himself from Song-yi, but fate has other plans. He finds himself saving her from a car accident and even healing her wounds with his supernatural powers. This leads to a series of humorous events as Song-yi thinks she is hallucinating, and Do Min-joon tries to keep his identity a secret.

The episode ends with Do Min-joon watching Song-yi from a distance, realizing that he is falling in love with her. He is torn between leaving Earth and staying for her. The viewers are left with a cliffhanger, wondering what will happen next.

Overall, Episode 1 of My Love From the Star is a perfect introduction to the show's main characters and their personalities. The episode sets up the storyline and leaves the audience wanting more. The humor, romance and science fiction elements make it an entertaining watch.
