I we really surprised that there are songs that I love in this drama's soundtrack?
Johnny - I'll Be There
Newkidd - I'll Be There
Son Woo Hyun - To My Star
Actor Kang Seo Joon was once one of South Korea's biggest and most popular stars, bus his career is now in decline.
But despite his fall in popularity, he believes he has had a change of fortune when he meets and falls for a dashing young chef named Han Ji Woo. Despite having wildly different personalities, the two begin on a relationship.
But their love comes under threat when the more conservative Han Ji Woo and the free-spirited Kang Seo Joon realize that their outlook on life, love, and everything else appears irrevocably different.

I've said it quite a few times, but I just love BL drama's and To My Star is no different. Like many other Korean BL drama's To My Star is short and sweet, I feel like this drama could have been a lot longer and more of the storyline explored.
I think the cast were amazing and added to all of the emotions we got to see and feel from the drama, for me it's a typical drama that has the usual guarded character as well as a character that is open and upfront with everything, and even helps the other lower his guard.
I thought Son Woo Hyun was perfect as Kang Seo Joon, he seems very arrogant, but he just knows what he wants and is willing to work for it, he's very open with his feelings and wears his heart on his sleeve, no matter if his affection is towards another man. We also learn that even though he is being seen as the bad guy he is willing for his popularity to take a knock to protect others from harm, and we get an explanation as to why he seems to react in a bad way to loud bangs.
I loved Kim Kang Min as Han Ji Woo, he seems to be very guarded and likes to be a loner so he doesn't get hurt or hurt others. He seems to struggle with the fact he seems to be attracted to another man, which I think shows that for him, this is all new. I think he also seems to act on impulse and reacts in a way that even though he's the one to get hurt, he'll protect those around him that he loves and cares for.
I think Kong Jae Hyun as Kim Hyung Ki is open to interpretation, when it comes to his character, is he a jealous friend that sees Kang Seo Joon, leading his best friend Ji Woo astray, or is there more to his feelings that leads him to betray Ji Woo, in the hopes that he'll see his actions were to protect him.
It was nice to see Jeon Jae Young as Kim Pil Hyun, the CEO of Seo Joon's company be more like a friend, instead of the usual power hungry and money loving CEO's that will do everything and anything to make money, you can see his friendship comes first and will always do his best to protect Seo Joon.
I think Kim Jin Kwon was perfect as Baek Ho Min, for me he added a lot of comedy to the series, and often had me laughing, especially when he was drunk. Like the CEO, he cares for both Seo Joon ad Pil Hyun as they are his friends.
I liked that as a reporter, Han Ji Won as Lee Yoon Seul, wanted to truth to come out for Seo Joon, and wanted him to face his insecurities head on. There seemed to be a hint that both herself and Pil Hyun were attracted to one another, but the series was complete before we could even explore that relationship.
I think whether you're a lover for BL dramas or not, To My Star is a cute little series that dips it's toes into Korea's entertainment industry for people that have to hide their sexuality from the public eye.
I really recommend this series, I just wish there was more to explore with it.
