To My Star (2021)

As close to perfect as it gets

I loved this drama so much!!! First off the story is very good, we have something from the start of the episode that we don't know and are eager to find out and that adds another exciting dimension to an already nice romance. The romance is done well, even with the time constraints it didn't feel rushed and it felt really natural. The acting was so good I didn't cringe or feel awkward at anything (except the english scene at the end lmfaoo). There were so many moments when I laughed out loud or squealed inside with how cute some of the scenes were (rly mr chef ur reflex is to suck on mr actors cut asap??? sfjljlsf) and it was so nice to see how the clash of 2 personalities changed over time. And there were no romanticised dub con or non con scenes and even if some tropes were cliche they were done so well. The only thing I wished for is more time to really develop the plot and romance but for this limit it was amazing.

Short and sweet BL series about grown-up characters for grown-up audience

I wasn't able to predict one or two plot turns (refreshing for BL) and this, among other things, made me fall in love with this short lighthearted series.

On the surface the plot seems somewhat predictable (this is BL after all): a bit spoiled, self-obsessed, but kind-hearted and easygoing famous actor has to cohabit for some time with an aloof, gloomy, strict young chef.

Likes:

Stars in the sky is a beautiful metaphor of the series. One of the main characters is charming, lively, decisive (no prolonged dragging of the story). Strong acting. No black-or-white characters, less typical supporting characters. Cuisine is one of the coolest areas of human expertise to watch (though I doubt any person employed in the culinary industry is in the habit of dealing with cuts in such a way.) No ubiquitous supporting couple.

Buena sensación

Corto, sincero y bonito.

Con tres palabras defino este drama, que si tienes poco tiempo y pocas ganas de ver algo largo, pues, es ideal. No se porque, pero me imaginaba la serie totalmente diferente y no me esperaba la historia que cuenta. Me sorprendió positivamente.

Los personajes tienen personalidades interesantes. Debido a la duración, no se profundiza mucho en sus vidas personales familiares, las cuales se dejan entrever. Pero, no lo necesita, de hecho, se agradece. La serie se centra en contar la historia actual y gracias a que no da tiempo a más, tampoco da tiempo a sufrir demasiado.

Para pasar un rato agradable sin pensar demasiado.

Curto, fofo e aconchegante descrevem meu pensamento sobre "Para Minha Estrela"

Tratando-se de um dorama que nos surpreendeu pela sua capacidade de narrar uma envolvente história em um espaço de tempo reduzido, sua brevidade não compromete a qualidade. Isso se deve a um roteiro habilmente elaborado e a uma direção competente que se destacam.

Grande parte desse mérito é creditada à escolha brilhante do elenco, onde cada ator e atriz desempenha seus papéis de forma convincente, resultando em uma notável química entre todos os membros do elenco, particularmente a do casal principal, é autêntica e envolvente, transmitindo uma química genuína.

O casal principal, em particular, apresenta um desenvolvimento cativante e uma envolvente química em suas interações, contribuindo significativamente para o sucesso da obra. As personalidades contrastantes dos protagonistas geram interações divertidas, e a estrutura dos episódios, mesmo que curtos, permite que o relacionamento deles evolua de forma envolvente. A evolução do casal ocorre de modo orgânico, mantendo um ritmo equilibrado e proporcionando uma experiência verdadeiramente reconfortante.

Outro destaque notável é a trilha sonora, que, embora pudesse incluir um acervo musical mais amplo, se harmoniza perfeitamente com o clima das cenas. Além disso, a história em si é interessante de acompanhar, gostosa de ver os desdobramentos.

O dorama surpreende ao escapar das expectativas iniciais, oferecendo uma narrativa atual e descomplicada. É ideal para aqueles que buscam uma experiência agradável e leve. A produção do dorama atende aos padrões, entregando cenas visualmente agradáveis e representando o que se espera de uma comédia romântica, com um enredo simples, ótimas atuações, química convincente e uma trilha sonora encantadora. Ele proporciona uma história completa e satisfatória em seu tempo limitado, culminando em um desfecho doce e bem amarrado, sem deixar pontas soltas na trama.

Há, no entanto, uma ressalva em relação à segunda temporada, que é uma consequência dessa primeira temporada, onde vemos que o protagonista Kang Seo Joon se empenha mais no relacionamento deles, e isso ficará claro na segunda temporada, o que, na minha opinião, a segunda temporada acabou prejudicando um pouco a história.

No geral, é uma série que mantém seu encanto ao longo das visualizações e traz uma lufada de ar fresco ao gênero dos doramas românticos.

A simple sweet story

I feel like this show packs a lot in its short runtime. It's not exactly a enemies to lovers story, but the way the main characters start on the wrong foot and then slowly warm up to each other is nice. The chemistry between the main actors really makes his show work. Of the Viki BLs, I feel like To My Star is the one that looks the most like a movie, specially the first episode. I enjoyed the side characters and understand that they all had a purpose on the show.

I don't feel like the whole "mystery" with In Woo is anything at all, nor do I feel like Seo Joon's problem is explained enough for it to make sense. Does he have PTSD with loud noises? Is it connected with being abandoned by his parents? I also feel like learning anything about Ji Woo’s backstory would be helpful to understand him as a characters.

Something for bl lovers

I liked this drama but like a lot of people, I do agree that is way too short. I felt like I couldn't really care enough about what the characters were going through. Don't get me wrong the story is well written and the two actors Son Woo Hyun (Kang Seo Joon) and Kim Kang Min ( Han Ji woo) they were great and I could tell they are good actors and you can feel that they have great chemistry as a viewer, however, it feels rushed and that there should be more included. Episodes don't have to be long as a regular Kdrama, 30 minutes at least would have been enough time to flesh out the motivations of the characters and having the audience understand why a certain scene is happening and have a bigger impact on viewers emotions to feel for the characters. I would recommend watching it because it is cute and well-acted plus some scenes are just beautifully shot, but it had me feeling like there was more in each episode that was left out.

Compared to other Korean BL dramas, To My Star is my favorite one. From the Korean industry, i expected it to be good. And when i watched it, I was right. I had no regrets. Definitely rate this 100000/10. Just one slight complaint. It only has 9 episodes (i think) and duration of only 10-15 minutes. But aside from that, I love this. The plot, the actors, the music i love it all. I even recommended this to my friends and they said they're currently watching. And we really would appreciate it if we could have season 2. But of course, that's your choice, we don't want you to feel pressured or forced into making a script for season 2. Well, that's all. All I can say is I really really love this. And i personally think that the Korean drama industries should be more open and accepting about making Boy Love. This made me feel more single than I already was so thank you for that :)

Kang SeoJun has my heart

This is absolutely one of my favorite BL drama of all time. I didn’t know who Son Woo-Hyun before this drama but he has absolutely made me a big fan. The way he was able to emote different feelings was breathtaking, I actually believed he was in love with Kim Kang-Min in real life. When you know an actor did their job right, is when you forget what you are watching is actually scripted and not real life. And also when you absolutely hate/love a character that also shows that the actor/actress did their job perfectly. In this case Son Woo did his job to perfection. I have watched 3times already and will be watching many more times in the future
I loved the way he treated people. I hope he’s like he’s character in real life. Genuine, open and honest.

Great Korean BL

The Korean Bl scene is really lacking and this is one of the best ones that l have seen. The chemistry between the two leads was great and the storyline was mature with a surprising amount of depth. my only complaint is that some of the characters felt quite one dimensional but that's probably to do with the length of the episodes which were criminally way too short.
l am a sucker for the clingy vs cold/closed off relationship dynamic and l think this drama delivers that in a really nice way without being too annoying. l also love how the focus of the drama was on their relationship and the feasibility and reality of it instead of it being about the sex of the person they had chosen to fall in love with. Not every drama needs to address coming out and l appreciate this drama for focusing its main conflict elsewhere.
Overall it's a great watch that you can finish in one sitting and rewatch many times.
