To My Star 2 (2022)

Done right! Just done right!!!

It is pretty safe to say that the second season of this series is as magical as its first season was. And yes I am not exaggerating.

I loved first season, well we all did. Although it isn't a new story but it hit all mark right. Only into first two episodes of second season, I could see how humble they remain and stick to the story rather lost into the fame received from first season. Both leading actor performed exceptionally well in their respective roles, and they are performing with equal passion in second season.

The story is pretty guessable and seems basic, but what magical is how actors persuaded its viewers that a story told many times, still can be fresh if it is made, performed and execute with passion. And I can clearly see the efforts of cast and production to bring a quality content to us once again.

There are no big daunt on coming out or big stigma of dating a celebrity, but rather their problem exist in them, which led to sway away in a relationship. But love never lessened never faltered. Sometimes when you love someone beyond your limits, you are bound to hurt that person with your inability to control your emotional outburst of good or bad intentions.

What I have seen so far, their breakup has a deep connection of love that is very much alive but rather it is on a small hiatus, as among them one, trying his best to become the best version of himself, before he could offer himself to his love of life.

Love bird KSJ is a quick to react, but at the same time, can't hold grudges, easily forgives, ducks in to the love of his love despite not committing any mistake, smiles at him, cares to death for him, expressive and lives for him, on the other hand, HJW, a quiet puppy, with less words and expressions, he has mammoth amount of equal love for his lover. Although one may seem HJW is not reasonable but he knows he is trying best as his personality is opposite to KSJ, but stepping out of his comfort zone and move into the world of KSJ was not an easy step.

HJW already a man with fewer words, left KSJ for reasons we will know in coming episodes, but one thing remains, he loves him, and loves him to the point that he had to leave in order for him not to hurt KSJ out of his own miseries.

Also, I was surprised the girl in this season would be KSJ ex, but it turned out to be HJW's. This was a unusual surprise, usually in such type of story, ex appears for a popular one or should I dare say for "seme (top)", I know it is stereotypical of me to say that, but that is a surprise actually. I am going to see how once again love will bloom again and how HJW entrust himself to KSJ once again.

I am so looking forward to, first two episodes made me fell for this series once again!!!

The Story is too realistic. Not your burst of sweetness like S1.

I watched all available episodes just today and I am like in awe at where their relationship has headed to. Usually S2 are just a sweet and tangy continuation of S1. But this is a whole 360° to what one can expect or what I had expected. For now it's all SJ's pov and it's freaking heartbreaking for me. But I must admit that this story is very realistic when it comes to difficult human emotions.

SJ is a like an abandoned puppy who has tried literally everything he could for this good for nothing relationship. And I am just sad and frustrated at how JW has been treating him. In S1 when SJ confessed initially, JW spoke of his doubts that SJ might play with his feelings or take this relationship as a child's play, but what JW did to SJ was exactly playing with his feelings for one or so year, using him as a substitute to taste somehting new for a while and then when he was done playing, he left. For 6 episodes if this was SJ's pov then I wanna see JW pov too coz for now he is being nothing but an as*hole.

rn I just want SJ to stop, stop wasting his time and energy on a stupid and arrogant man like JW. I cannot imagine how hard it is for SJ. working, leaving from work and coming to a remote area so far away and then keep getting rejected like a fool. Keep listening to stupid shit like what JW listed as their breakup reasons???? Does JW realise how ridiculously narcissistic and arrogant he himself is? People like SJ are hard to come by, they are like light, but they are also sensitive and alone. JW thinks he is the only lonely person when we already know (from S1) that it was never easy for SJ too. He is also very alone. He also struggled all his life. Just bc he is a star and he is rich doesn't mean he is not sensitive.

Oh god I am just so frustrated at this ill behavior of JW😠 I really don't care about a happy ending at this point. What I would love is a realistic ending just like how this whole season has been so far. No matter how diplomatic I try to be I still cannot wrap my head around this shitty behaviour toward a lovely person like SJ. It hurt me so much when SJ mentioned that he will change just to be with JW. No baby, in love you don't change, you adapt yourself to your lover likes or dislikes a bit but you still remain what you are.. and it has to be mutual. So no baby, you won't be SJ if you change and that stupid sh*t JW doesn't deserve this hardwork & true emotions of yours.

I wouldn't mind a sad ending but I also would like to see SJ happy whether it is with JW or without him. And I want JW to cry and regret for how shitty he has been to SJ. That's only justified.

Han Ji Woo is a Noob

This BL show is way better than any other Korean one I have seen but I have a problem with Han Ji Woo's behavior towards Kang Seo Joon. He is being a total dick. And extremely cruel. While Kang Seo Joon on the other hand just wont stop following him around despite the constant crappy treatment. It doesn't matter why Ji Woo ghosted Seo Joon (blackmail, life or death or whatever), his treatment and the things he says to him are just so far beyond the pale that its unbelievable that anyone would ever get back with him after being treated that way (which i presume the two do end up back together). Personally i hope for an alternate ending where Ji Woo begs Seo Joon to take him back and is flat out, bluntly and in every nasty way possible rejected. And then Seo Joon runs off into the sunset with some other guy who is a 100 times hotter and nicer than Ji Woo.

Exceptional Talents

I loved season 1 and I am really excited for this seaso 2.. I love the fact that they stick still to their story. More secrets to be revealed. Love you KSJ and HJW. Fighting.. the story shows how the relationship goes. How many obstacles you will face. But i am pretty much sure if you love that person, you will really understand the differences. There is no perfect relationship. However, respect and acceptance is really important especially that everyday you are both exploring.

Han Ji Woo maybe cold but i can see how caring he is to Kang Seo Jeon. They really love each other.

Another factor I want to know also is the character of Kim Hyung Gi. I hope there is more story about him.

Nevertheless, i love this series and will continue to support this series.

Love you all ❤️❤️❤️

As bad as others say

To my Star S1 is a series I’ve watched many many many time. I’ve shown my friends and have praised the show often.

S2 is nothing like S1, I understand that fandoms give leeway for some toxicity. However, what was displayed in this season was disgusting. while I believe Ji Woo has the right to choose who he wants to be with. I find it odd that SJ continues to grovel at his feet.

in no world does Ji Woo deserve SJ, I don’t really care about trauma anybody goes through. Adults are expected to live life and not act like a teenager who lives on angst.

I’m my opinion Season 2 doesn’t exist. Simply a fever dream by SJ, will feel the same about a Season 3 as well.

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

That sums up.

I wouldn't rewatch the first 9 episodes even if someone paid me, but I still subject myself to the pain by watching some amazing FMVs... And then I go back to the last episode and the cycle of trauma continues.

It resonated with me so closely that I really regret watching and suffering through it. Is it a masterpiece? Maybe, probably so. But at what cost?

And for me, Seo Joon is such an unbelievable strong character because he is so hopeful, and amazingly full of life. Any other person would let the pain fester when they got back together and lash out at some moment. Only Seo Joon is capable of letting go, forgiving, almost forgetting, and trying to be happy. But for us, viewers, the pain is real and raw.

A fucking emotional damage.

Pain and loneliness is indeed invetible when you love

I avoided watching this show for as long as possible because of all the reviews about its sadness and heartbreak. I wasn’t ready to see Seojoon and Jinwoo go through such turmoil. But I finally faced it today, and I’m glad I did. Season 2 is truly a step up from Season 1. Seeing my favorite characters on the edge of their relationship is hard, but there’s so much to learn from their journey.

Key Takeaways:

1. Loneliness is inescapable, even in love.

No matter how healthy or loving a relationship is, we all yearn for something more. Seojoon poured everything he had into making time for Jinwoo, but in the end, they’re two people living very different lives. When Jinwoo said he couldn’t ask Seojoon to stop smiling or texting others, even though it made him jealous, he knew he couldn’t ask Seojoon to give up parts of himself for the relationship. That’s the reality of their different worlds and their sacrifices to keep each other.

2. Yoonseol’s character is a beautiful parallel to their relationship.

Usually, in BL dramas, ex-girlfriends tend to be portrayed negatively, but Yoonseol is different. She’s grounded, reasonable, and kind, and articulates her thoughts clearly, adding layers to the story. She isn’t just an obstacle; she represents the complexities of love and life in a very relatable way.

3. Love is compromise and commitment.

Relationships aren’t perfect; people aren’t perfect. Loving someone over time means you’ll face countless disagreements, and what matters most is choosing who you want to share those moments with. Who will you keep working things out with, who will you choose to love again and again, even when things don’t go as planned? Seojoon and Jinwoo’s relationship shows that love is choosing the same person despite imperfections.

In the end, no one else would have the patience to love Jinwoo the way Seojoon does, and no one would have the understanding and neediness to love Seojoon like Jinwoo.

to be honest, i could write an entire essay about this season.
for starters, let’s talk about the break-up. it was so extremely painful to watch. of course, i loved season 1 so much because that was the start of everything, but season 2 really just did something else for me. i seriously love angst and painful plots, so you could understand why i’m obsessed with this season.
i felt so terrible for seojoon. not knowing the reason why jiwoo left him must have been so devastating for him. and jiwoo, the way he was acting like nothing was even happening, i couldn’t handle it. it was so painful.
there were many scenes where i got very emotional. the way woohyeon and kangmin portray their characters is incredible. in some scenes, it really felt as if i were [character], just because the way their emotions were expressed so perfectly and realistically. it really hit me like a truck. i may be dramatic, but there was a certain scene where i could really feel jiwoo’s emotion, as if i were soaking it up like a sponge. it was heartbreaking and devastating, and so suffocating. these men really deserve an award for their performance in this season, because it was seriously extraordinary.
it’s hard to really write my true feelings about this season without giving any spoilers.
if i’m ever in the need to feel like i myself have got broken up with, i will definitely rewatch this.
many people didn’t like the season because they just didn’t like how seojoon and jiwoo broke up, but that’s exactly why i like this season so much.
it showed how realistic dating is. no couple in this world is going to have a perfect, painless relationship. maybe this is my preference for drama and angst talking, but it really took this couple and characters to a whole new level.
i seriously applaud woohyeon and kangmin. they are incredible actors.

Muito bonito e humano

Alguns telespectadores se sentiram frustrados pela segunda temporada de To My Star abordar temas similares aos da primeira, como as inseguranças e dificuldades de manter o relacionamento entre Kang Seo Joon e Han Ji Woo. Embora eu entenda essa frustração, acredito que, em um gênero relativamente novo como o BL, os envolvidos na produção da série tenham utilizado a primeira temporada como uma forma de "testar as águas", verificando se a história seria bem recebida pelo público. Só então, com a aceitação garantida, puderam aprofundar a verdadeira narrativa na segunda temporada.

Na segunda temporada, o enredo ganha uma profundidade emocional maior, aprofundando-se na mente dos protagonistas. Diferente da primeira temporada, que foca mais na atração e nos conflitos iniciais entre o casal, esta nova fase explora as complexidades de suas personalidades e seus medos mais profundos. As lutas internas de Kang Seo Joon e Han Ji Woo são mais evidentes, e o drama foca nas dificuldades de manter um relacionamento em meio às pressões externas e pessoais.

A parte mais charmosa de To My Star está justamente na simplicidade da história. O relacionamento entre Kang Seo Joon e Han Ji Woo é construído aos poucos, de maneira sutil, através de pequenas ações e momentos que revelam suas emoções. Não há a necessidade de artifícios grandiosos ou reviravoltas extravagantes. A série se apoia nas inseguranças, medos e feridas do passado dos personagens, criando um romance que é palpável e humano.

Muita gente tem dificuldade de simpatizar com Han Ji Woo, pois To My Star se recusa a vender a ideia de um relacionamento perfeito entre indivíduos idealizados. Ao contrário, a série não tem medo de explorar temas complexos e mostrar que amar alguém é, muitas vezes, lidar com imperfeições e questões não resolvidas. Han Ji Woo, em particular, é uma figura complicada, que carrega suas próprias inseguranças e traumas, o que torna o relacionamento com Kang Seo Joon desafiador, mas também realista.

Essa abordagem mais madura é um dos aspectos que diferencia To My Star de outros dramas BL. A série retrata um romance que não é apenas sobre paixão, mas sobre crescimento pessoal, enfrentamento de medos e aceitação mútua – mostrando que, às vezes, o mais difícil é abrir-se ao outro.

I have no words to describe how much I loved this second season, I was kinda disappointed when the chef ditched his bf and left to create a new restaurant without any words to him, and of course his ex bf went to go look for him and the chef didn’t want him there…
but they definitely stepped up their level with the kiss scenes because I was so shocked when both of the scenes came up.
I loved this season more than the first one
and the chef was also playing hard to get which kinda made me mad but it’s what made it interesting.
Would definitely recommend
