Season one of To My Star was too slow and predictable for me. Season two was more interesting to watch, but it had many things happening in its plot that didn’t make any sense. Just like in season one I find the acting, camera work, editing and music really good, but the problem for me yet again was the story.

This series has typical getting back together after the break up storyline. And like always we have one character who chases after the other only to be rejected and when they finally decide to give up then the other one realizes how much they actually love the other. This is basically a summary of this whole show. But this series has so many illogical things in it, that it ruins the feeling.

First, why does it take Seo Joon a whole year to find Ji Woo? Wouldn’t someone's home town be the first place to look at after they disappear? Or why wait until one year to contact Hyung Ki? Also, why did they decide on one year? I personally think this was too long a time to have them be broken up. I think 1-3 months would’ve been enough. So, if it has been one year, why is Seo Joon still looking for Ji Woo when it’s clear that the latter is not interested in being found.

Second, I don’t understand how Ji Woo managed to open a restaurant and then keep it afloat when he didn’t have any customers. Yet, he bought food and probably had to pay rent. Where did all his money come from? And later when he actually gets some customers, how was he able to do everything alone in this restaurant? It just didn’t make any sense!

Third, it has been a whole year of Ji Woo living in the countryside, yet he hasn’t been able to think about his actions and figure out that maybe what he did was wrong? Also, I didn’t get why he was waiting and basically expecting Seo Joon to find him after he broke up with him via note. And when they do finally meet he is so rude and cold to him. He could’ve at least said sorry and admit his mistake. Instead he is quite harsh to his ex-lover. Also, I didn’t like the kiss and them sleeping together only to be driven even further away from each other after that. Not to mention that the kiss was initiated by Ji Woo himself! He was constantly sending mixed signals.

Four, can we talk about weird coincidences or ‘destiny’ in this series? Seo Joon just happens to work with Ji Woo’s ex of all people. Then Seo Joon just happens to work with the “Countryside Kitchen” series. And in the end this all handkerchief story. It just seems so unrealistic. I understand that sometimes this kind of things happen where you think that the world is so small, but so many times with one person? Unlikely...

Moving on to the characters. In season one I actually found Ji Woo as an interesting character. But in this season I just didn’t like him and most of the time I didn’t understand his actions. I felt that the series should’ve explored more about his reasons. Seo Joon was quite the same as in the previous season. I did find his efforts to get Ji Woo back quite weird and I am happy he decided to give up when he did, because otherwise he would’ve over done it. It is still quite a mystery why after one year he still wanted to get back together with him, though? I personally would’ve wanted to get closure and then get as far away from Ji Woo as possible. Ending to their story was a little bit underwhelming for me and I felt that viewers didn’t really get the closure or final understanding why things happened between them as they did. It feels like the makers of this series knew exactly why everything happened, but they couldn’t bring it to the viewers.

As for background characters - there were too many! I seriously don’t understand the reason for bringing in Ji Woo’s ex and neighbor with the daughter. Most of the time I was annoyed with their scenes and was just waiting to get back to the main storyline. They could’ve used all this time they put into these three characters to make the main storyline better... I do like that Ho Min got his own story this time, even though I must say that ending for him was quite unexpected. Pil Hyun actually turned into one of my favorite characters in this season. It was clear that he was constantly giving everything to others, but in the end he was still alone. I found his relationship with Yoon Seul so bittersweet. He, like Seo Joon, clearly loved his partner yet he was constantly being left aside. I think that Pil Hyun in a way represented both Seo Joon and Ji Woo.

In conclusion, I found this season easier to follow, but just like in season one the story wasn’t the best. Even if the acting, camera work, editing and music are really well done they can’t help badly written script. I often felt like this whole series was not thoroughly thought through.
