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!)
