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 futureI 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.

Grab Some Egg Kimbap, Sit Down, and Prepare to Sob & Squeal Your Heart Out, Fans!
As a lover of all things LGBTQ+ (and as a member of said community) this series contained some of the best components/scenes across the current Korean bl shows. Now one of my all time favorite bl dramas (Korean), To My Star gave soft, fluffy smiles (bless Seo Joon’s face), mouthwatering cooking shots (please cook for me Ji Woo), and *spoiler* some of the best kissing scenes that Korean bl dramas have to offer (as of 2021). I found both characters to be quite relatable although sometimes I felt Ji Woo’s sudden shout fits to be slightly misplaced, I just chalked it up to the strive for authenticity as a human being rather than a perfect love interest/main character. I continuously fell for the charms of Seo Joon and the growth of their relationship was the right mix of dramatically bitter and satisfyingly sweet. There were some questionable moments (still confused as to who that random english-speaking visitor who appeared at both Ji Woo’s residence and the restaurant) that managed to leave me concerned for the writers as it was unclear how each of these scenes would impact either the characters themselves or the plot as a whole. Overall, I’ve uncovered another comfort bl drama to rewatch as I naively deny the fact that my plan to watch list has grown astronomically since I made this account (not including the dramas not listed on this site). Can’t wait to see our boys again in season two (which is hopefully still coming!)Was this review helpful to you?

Cute but confusing towards the end
Needing to lay low after an incident that causes his popularity to decline, actor Kang Seo Joo is tasked to stay at the house of Han Ji Woo, a chef that works at a local restaurant. They first meet when Seo Joo has to go to the bathroom and decides to stop at a restaurant. He asks the young man to make him something quick and delicious but ends up not eating the dish because of the egg on top.The two don't start out so well. Ji Woo is cold towards him which Seo Joo doesn't understand. He even mentions that he wants to get closer to him a few times. When someone throws rocks at the window, Ji Woo confronts him and gives him a glass of water. This marks a turning point for them. Seo Joo even starts working at the restaurant that Ji Woo is working at.
They play basketball which was just a funny and cute scene. For someone who is suppose to keep a low profile, he is not doing a good job of that. He keeps telling people who he is. The drunken kiss is another turning point in their relationship and the confession made my heart leap. It was sweet and sincere.
I knew there was something going on with Ji Soo boss. The restaurant wasn't doing well and I thought he may have been jealous of Seo Joo because of how close he was to Ji Woo. I am still confused about the tape that was the cause of Seo Joo hiding. There was something in it that showed he wasn't the one responsible for the fight. And I still don't understand what was going on with the boss of the café. I wish that were more easier to understand.
I did enjoy the other confession. 'If you are unable to, then I will come to you." Seo Joo states (not the direct quote but something along those lines). It shows that Seo Joo understands Ji Woo may not be able to say it, but he does care and is just pushing him away because he does not want to get hurt.
I do wish that we got to know more about Ji Woo and what events happened in his life to make me not get close to people and I am curious why loud noises affect Seo Joo. In the end, the two stay living together and Seo Joo signs on to do a movie.
I see there is a season 2 so I will be watching that soon.

great chemistry, captivating story, great balance of softness and horniness
This BL has it all. A soundtrack that slaps, amazing call-backs and parallels, a couple with great chemistry, a story filled with compassion, angst, fluff, a little spice, and three-dimensional characters. I am totally in love with it and have rewatched it countless times and can't wait for the second season.Every good show has at least one memorable moment that stays with you even after you finish watching it. And honestly, this show had SEVERAL moments that all live rent-free in my head, and I am not complaining in the slightest.
It's one of the very few BLs that actually don't feel cut short or oddly rushed but still leave some room for more (like a second season ;)).

Very Beautiful
I’m always looking for what series to watch nice and at the moment I’m in between a few that have episodes not released yet. To My Star caught my attention and I’m glad it did what I found was this series was short but very sweet and sincere. The story stayed on part and wasn’t rushed at all due to the episodes being shorter then 20 minutes the amount of time almost reminds me of Where Your Eyes Linger. In this tale we see two people come together and fall in love of course with any drama the new pairs bond is tested In a unique way. At no point was I lost or bored with the story I think everyone should give it a watch you won’t regret!Was this review helpful to you?
The appearance of an unexpected character changes the life of a quiet, introverted young chef
To My Star: Best Korean BL in my opinion. A pity that it's so short but even still, everything fits just right and both actors are really talented and played their characters very well. Their interactions are really cute and the best part is there isn't a second couple so all the story is focused on them and them only, hence a very well developed plot with little to no loopholes.Perhaps a bit of bias on my side but I would always prefer if a series just focuses on one couple only so the plot can be more fulfilling.
Back to the main point, this series shows how a quiet and introverted young chef opens himself up to the character that suddenly appeared in his life. And then somehow the actor first fell in love with the chef, but the chef was being unsure and insecure but eventually accepted the actor.
Perhaps the only thing lacking in this series is how they actually fell for each other in the first place. I was hoping they could include parts where they explain how they actually feel for each other rather than just 'time' that brought them together

Come in with no expectations and you'll have a fun time!
Honestly I have nothing actually negative to say about this show. First and foremost, I come into BLs wanting to see cute boys be cute together and a somewhat decent plot and a good time. This show pretty much delivered! The story is not groundbreaking in any way, but it's a cute little show to watch for a bit and get your BL satisfaction in. I appreciate how they kept things simple honestly. The only thing I wondered during the show was "damn none of these people got better things to do?" cause the main issue of the story is really not that deep but it's also the biggest deal ever which i guess. all in all i recommend! It's also short which is a huge plusWas this review helpful to you?
What I really want to see from a drama
I'm not saying anything about cliches. To be honest they exist even in real life. The plot went like an ordinary story. But I think that's what made it so ,how should I put it ..peaceful to watch. There were romance, cuteness, fun but without any unnecessary slow motion or unrealistic lengthy eye gazing. The story flowed really comfortably. It was a romance story but didn't feel trivial. The acting was also really great. The chemistry was awesome. Though there wasn't that much cringe moments. Don't know why I was getting giddy watching it. Liked it very much . Would recommend ?Was this review helpful to you?
worth a watch
I really enjoyed this drama. Its a slice of life story with realisistic plot points considering who the characters are. The acting overall was good especially Son Woo Hyun who played the main lead. i really enjoyed his characther as he was written to be really straight forward with expressing his feeling so there wasnt any "accidental miscommunication" trope happening.The characters in general where engaging and interesting to watch.
The only thing i would change is that the drama is quite short and thus the relationship feels a bit rushed especially the ending. If there wouldve been even one more episode i feel it wouldve tied the story up more neatly.
over all worth a watch
Check out the second season too!
