To My Star is a beautiful mini web drama that touched me a lot. I loved it even more than 'Where Your Eyes Linger', about 2 hours in total this gem made me feel more than some 16+ hour dramas. In short, this gem is about a famous actor Kang Seo Joon whose career is in danger after a scandal. He ends up living with Han Ji Woo, a chef. They are complete opposites, Seo Joon is bold and outgoing, while Ji Woo is reserved and introverted. Of course they fall in love.

I liked both characters, Seo Joon at first seemed selfish and indifferent, and somewhat stupid (clueless) while Ji Woo seemed very cold and emotionless. But then you realize there's more to this than meets the eye. Seo Joon may be completely carefree but he's not stupid, and he actually cares. As for Ji Woo, he's not that cold and callous, he's also a very caring guy but has built walls around his heart.

Seo Joon starts living with Ji Woo and tries to get close to him, while the latter acts cold. But Seo Joon eventually manages to form a bond with Ji Woo, and feelings between them begin to develop. Their relationship developed naturally, it didn't feel rushed despite the short length of this web drama. This is pure romance, so the majority of the scenes are them together, which I think is good, because this is short, if there wasn’t so many scenes of them together, their relationship wouldn't flow as naturally.

I came to care deeply about both characters. They are flawed and realistic, not one dimensional. You just wonder what on earth happened to Ji Woo to became so closed off , and what happened to Seo Joon since he panicks to loud noises… Despite being opposites, I feel they both compliment each other perfectly.

The side characters were great, and Seo Joon’s manager especially… Baek Ho Min was so adorable! The actor who played him was no other than the leader/subvocals of the band Newkidd - Kim Jin Kwon. Newkidd by the way sings the OST - I’ll Be There. Great song!! Kim Pil Hyun (CEO of TB Entertainment) was also great. The other side characters I didn’t care about though…

To My Star is kinda angsty and serious, but full of heart! The actors gave it all. Also, I believe this BL is one of the first korean BLs out there with realistic/ passionate kisses, which of course is a huge bonus!

So… lots of people think To My Star is one of the best korean BLs out there, and rightfully so! It’s a deep mature BL… Seo Joon and Ji Woo are definitely one of my favorite BL couples out there! The road to true love is not smooth, but you can totally feel that Seo Joon and Ji Woo belong together. How Seo Joon didn’t want to give up on Ji Woo is touching. The chemistry between those two men is amazing and it’s nice to see about two working adults, not a BL that is set in college/university!

There is not really anything I want to change about this wonderful series, the pacing was really good. If you are tired of typical childish BLs, then this is for you! No exaggerating over-the-top acting here. This is still a sweet one with lots of sweet moments! It has everything I want in a BL - great chemistry and great acting, nice cinematography, nice and deep and thoughtful plot, realistic development and realistic kisses/skinship… also great OSTs!

I think it's great that South Korea is opening up more and more slowly but surely to LGBTQ, a long way to go of course but it's moving forward! Hope a Korean GL (Girls love) comes out soon. And To My Star is one of the best BLs out there that doesn’t focus on fan services or whatever to sell the the ”ship”. I have never cared about fan service, and sometimes fan service is just so problematic. Anyways, this BL should not be missed!
