To my KSJ & HJW, thank you for a star-studded journey on fulfilling their own universe in life
An unforgettable drama that established the undying chemistry and notable performance/character of Son Woo Hyun as Kang Seo Jun and Kim Kang Min as Han Ji Woo. The first season was definitely a great one but this season performed in a more serious plot that brings a certain amount of devastating warmth but is absolutely amazing.
I personally enjoyed this season given the angst and conflict between them. The sudden one-sided break-up initiated by Han Ji Woo as the center of the story does really create a huge impact on the audience. There is no doubt that Kang Seo Joon’s feeling is as sincere as sunlight. Even being ghosted for a year, especially on his birthday, our boy keeps on trying to save their relationships the moment he already finds out HJW's location. His efforts of traveling to a long place, helping the restaurant business by gathering customers, and spending his busy schedule just to keep on pushing HJW. All of these prove how much love KSJ has for his boy. But when Seo Jun said this line, “Why is he so harsh to me?” I couldn’t help it anymore and tears began to fall. This is so heartbreaking! To witness a man who still has feelings lingering inside him with the questionable reason behind his ex-partner’s decision on leaving him alone. And each time KSJ mentioned the breakup, it is always in question. Real pain.
There came a point when I started to feel hate towards Ji Woo. Witnessing Seo Jun suffer is such an unbearable sight. But as the story progresses and explains that he had a tough time battling against himself alone. Han Ji Woo used to love his loneliness alone but the moment he met Seo Jun, he couldn't bear being alone anymore. Even HJW hated himself for his own attitude, unable to fully control it.
In each episode, I just badly want them to be together since it was tremendously painful to see. The take on HJW’s restaurant name “Ti Aspetto'' when translated, it means “I am waiting for you.” Also, the lyrics of the OSTs are truly related to the couple. In one episode, KSJ sang a song in a happy beat but with lyrics indirectly telling HJW’s ex-GF to leave his partner alone and that was so funny. Son Woo Hyun's singing voice is as alluring and fascinating as his speaking voice. The man showers in a pure variety of talents. Actually, I genuinely had a fun time with HJW's ex-partners bickering with each other on who knows HJW the best. The cleverness to connect all of these to the storyline is beyond great. But the most fulfilling part is when they finally connect their love story to the star and the universe during the finale.
The phenomenal kiss is the trademark of the show. Both S1 and S2 never fail to amaze me when it comes to intimate, emotional, and sensational kissing scenes. Along with the bonus of the captivating sounds, you can hear when they’re eating each other's lips. No other K-BL can beat these two.
If season 3 is possible, I will fully support it! I just love these dramas so much. The one and only episode where they finally got their happy ending is enough to satisfy me from the agonizing experience in the previous episodes. Such a remarkable and beautiful ending. I can now proudly say that To My Star is certainly one of the well-produced K-BLs as of now. The lovely cast, the fine distribution of scripts, and the top-tier chemistry along with their god-tier excellency in both visuals and acting. Thank you so much for bringing joy, tears, and smiles to my heart. Once again, I believed that true love exists just like how Kang Seo Jun and Han Ji Woo find their own universe on each other's side.
