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.

I love this BL. I have seen it so many times as it never fails to impress. It is one of my favorites.

Very sweet storyline and subtle chemistry Great acting, good story, limited time period as this is a mini drama are some other pros of this BL The on-screen chemistry of the pair is beautiful as the personality of one is different from the other.

As I've heard mostly that Koreans are not good at kissing scenes, I particularly think the ones in this drama were great!

So all around a must watch for the BL fans and K-drama fans too!

This is a pretty hilarious and heartwarming mini-series. The bromance is strong, the cast is gorgeous and there were plenty of cheeky moments where I couldn't help but blush and squeal in absolute delight!

Despite it being relatively short (the entire series is a little over 2hrs long), I thought there was adequate character development and the plot/storyline did not suffer in the least. In fact, some of the other BL dramas out there tend to drag on a show for 24 episodes by adding a lot of meaningless lines and scenes, when they could just do 12 episodes of good solid content instead.

This is why I love BL dramas like 'To My Star'. I hope they give us a second season soon!

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.

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.
