To My Star

Korean Drama " To My Star " is a sweet drama with some deep themes here and there. The factor that makes this drama entertaining is the chemistry between the two leads, and, especially, the two personalities. The two of them were completely different characters, one outgoing, flirty and friendly and the other secretive, closed up and an introverted, and yet somehow they were great together, unlocking each other.

The drama added some other plot lines too, with the celebrity scandal and its conclusion, and the drama between the two friends. The food scenes were brilliant too and a nice touch, as were the bonding moments between the two leads. Another enjoyable note was the connection of this drama with the other mini drama " Where your eyes linger ".

Finally, the performances were great for everyone in the cast.

So, overall, eight and a half out of ten for this short drama.

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.

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.

OMGGG I AM OBSESSED WITH THE FEELING OF BEING UNDER A WARM BLANKET ON A WINTER DAY THAT THIS GAVE ME. I WILL BE REWATCHING OVER AND OVER!

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.
