Is it really a sequel without some angst?
July 9, 2022
To My Star 2: Our Untold Stories really hit the fking nerves. Like I am not kidding, when I tell you how communication is such an important thing for a relationship to flourish and survive. I know there are major critiques about this sequel but let me just tell you how I genuinely liked it. Obviously, there are flaws within this season that could have been better, but you know what this series has a special place in my heart. With bias that I am heavily and knowingly acknowledging, I just want to say that this is not as bad as what others have said.
Major spoilers:
Let me just get started with the biggest critique: miscommunication and how the sequel did not outdo the first season. First of all, yes the miscommunication part was a little dragged out. It was frustrating to see Seojun get hurt by Jiwoo as who on Earth leaves their boyfriend like that. Like hello???? I would have literally beaten the fuck out of Jiwoo, for fucks sake. As for how the sequel didn't do justice, I guess it really just depends on people's standpoint and taste. Personally, I like this season, I find it realistic, as much as I criticize Jiwoo's action, I feel like this happens to a lot of people. And if I am being honest I was like Seojun too, I felt his pain right to the core. The feeling of having everything going well then suddenly it actually is not, just feels like a slap to myself. Not gonna lie, I cried so hard, especially during the point where someone told Seojun that "it is enough" or something like that. And how Seojun tried his best to get back with Jiwoo and he should finally move on. I felt that. I bawled my eyes out because I know the pain and the devasting and detrimental it is to our mental health. It wasn't healthy, but I guess the only good thing about it was Seojun got his "happy" ending which isn't the case for most of us.
On another side note (is this even a review at this point...), I really thought this was going to be a sad ending... Before revealing Jiwoo's side, I was hating him so much to the point where I didn’t even want to see him as the end game. I know what his reasons are now, but I feel like maybe a bittersweet ending would have been better...
Anyhow, this season slaps, like literally ... slaps me to point of crying ... breh
