To My Star

Wow, BL fans have been blessed in 2021 - first "Color Rush" and now "To My Star." I am ecstatic at the quality content we are being given!

To My Star is well on its way to being a really well done drama. Again we are given a format of 9 short (12 minute) episodes, so that's not a lot of time, and I feel the backstories sometimes suffer because of this. There are a few moments where viewers need to assume/read between the lines at the choppiness of some scenes. But that is really my only complaint.

The acting is great, the couple is so cute and developed really nicely. And oh my, we got a REAL kiss scene in this! Also a really amazing original song??

This is giving me so much hope for the future of BL K-dramas. I loved this and thought it was very well done.

I loved season 1 and just finished season 2. It was heartbreakingly beautiful and I almost couldn't watch it. But it's definitely worth it! The main leads have such great chemistry. This is a show I would rewatch just to see these two again.

Storyline has been summarized on various databases for the BL enthusiasts to decide whether to watch. Plot is interesting. Casting was perfect to begin with. Screenplay and dialogues keep you captivated. Coloring and Styling are a cherry to the frosting. No extreme highs and lows found in the narrative yet i would describe it as a smooth ride along a coastline with your special person where presence is commitment, eyes speak vows and you doubt if its a dream..... I relished every frame as the actors executed their roles after thoroughly understanding the requisites. Originally i was excited for the second season but..... i insist not to watch it because it will shatter the beautiful bubble they once created.

To My Star Season 1 is your maybe-not-so-typical BL in that although it has your good-looking actors, your cute storyline, and is generally fluffy, it also has a more serious thread that weaves through the story. The main characters aren't bubbly and happy-go-lucky, but have an angst about them that alludes to a more traumatic past. And the antagonist third party in the triangle isn't your usually-obvious "I'm going to ruin your relationship", cackling type. Don't get me wrong, the first season is on the lighter side and has the satisfying prerequisite ending we're all looking for.

And therefore, To My Star Season 2 was quite a surprising start where we don't know what's going on and the timelines aren't quite clear. Very mysterious, indeed. As the season progresses, you realise that this is not your typical BL anymore. It's a deeper dive into relationships of all kinds, human nature, and the different emotional journeys we each go through. I don't want to say it's darker, but it is more realistic and it suddenly doesn't become about focusing on the main characters having a happily ever after moment, but about the subtleties and nuances of feelings and how we deal with them.

All in all, a very satisfying, and entertaining, series. A wonderful surprise.

As always, the casting of the team never let down.

I sticked to the series 50% for the good looking actors, 25% for the surprises in each episodes, 25% for the smooth storytelling.

Everything in this series was pleasing, from color to sounds, visually and auditorily 10/10

I'm looking forward for this team to produce a normal length bl series.
