To My Star is a series that requires the audience to be able to understand the characters in order to enjoy it. The inner worlds of the protagonists are stories of their own, and if you manage to figure them out, you'll be able to make sense out of every single thing that happens in this show, every word and every action. If not, you'll be disappointed.

Everything that happened in season 1 set the perfect foundation for the second season. In the first season, we already get to see how Jiwoo is an insecure person with low self esteem, and that's what eventually ends up ruining his relationship with Seojun in season 2. We also see how Seojun goes out of his way and sacrifices himself to quite an extreme in order to be with Jiwoo, and that's another one of the reasons why they break up in season 2. I honestly found it incredible how they managed to construct such complex characters with such a short amount of air time, so I was thrilled to see they stayed consistent with their personalities and stories although the format of the series changed immensely.

Another thing I really loved about this series is how each episode of the second season was like a step of a ladder, the plot and characters evolve gradually, with some turning points, in a way that feels realistic. Each episode provides bits of information that help the audience understand the motivations and reasons of what's happening, so we can finally enjoy the resolution knowing everything. The resolution itself was probably one of the best parts: the conflict wasn't resolved magically, it was an imperfect and very realistic ending where the characters showed that they had evolved and learned enough to be able to get back together, but also that for their relationship to work they had to put effort into it by communicating, understanding and adapting.

In conclusion, Our Untold Stories manages to expand on two very complex characters and gives us all the answers we needed to understand them further. It does so in a way that it forces you to open your mind and empathise with two people who are extreme opposites from one another. This is also the main message of the series: no one and no relationship is perfect, but it's all about understanding. The way it doesn't only convey that idea but it makes the audience participate in it just makes it even better.
