The show was renewed for a second season because the creators felt that the story had potential to be even better. However, I wonder if there was really a point to it. The first season of ‘To My Star’ was released in 2021 and the story, as well as the chemistry between the two main leads, was loved by fans. If the creators were really looking to make a difference with this show, they should have released a new episode every week instead of just one every few months.
The show’s second season is set to air in early 2019 and it has been announced that the two main characters will not be dating anymore. Fans of the show are divided on whether this is a good or bad thing, as some feel that the story was incomplete without a romantic resolution. ..
“To My Star: Our Untold Stories” is a documentary film about a homosexual couple, Kang Seo-joon (an actor) and Ji-woo (a chef). It is revealed that one day, Han Ji-woo decided to end things with Seo-joon and just up and left him without explaining things in person despite living together for a year. ..
The show then finds out that Seo-joon is looking for the real reason behind Ji-woo’s sudden departure and tries to win him back. Korean dramas are really fine-tuned and well written which always gives fans something to talk about. ‘To My Star’ had an amazing first season but the conflict was completely resolved.
The second season of “Descendants of the Sun” seems to have been made more for the buzz from the first season than anything else. The direction in the show was amazing, but it feels like the second season has just coasted on its popularity - there’s nothing new here to warrant a return. ..
Jung Sung-yoon tries to spice up the dull plot by questioning Ji-woo’s sexual preferences. I wish there was more about whether or not Ji-woo was debating about his feelings for Sung-yoon or how his break-up with her later affected his sexuality. Instead, we don’t get that.
It seems that the ‘questioning’ aspect in homosexual adults is finally starting to be explored. This is in contrast to the previous seasons where the focus was on the love story between two characters.
The second season of “Show Me the Money” was disappointing for many reasons. One reason may be that the show did not have a strong main character to keep viewers engaged. The show followed a similar pattern of questioning one’s sexuality, with a similar conflict detected and Seo-joon, our actor with a ‘main character’ energy, comes to save the day. Aside from one make-out scene that went viral during its first episode, the show failed to create any sense of excitement amongst fans.
The cast lineup for ‘To My Star: Our Untold Stories’ is the same as the first season, with a few additions that do their best in the roles they have. The OST of the BL drama consists of six tracks with two English singles, ‘The Universe’ and ‘Winter Wind’.
Both songs are calming and fit well with the background score of the episodes. The single ‘Winter Wind’ has a Korean version that fans really love whereas three other Korean songs make up the OST of ‘To My Star 2’.
The show has shown me that there are challenges that come with being a couple in a society that does not accept their sexuality, but it is also a beautiful thing to have each other by your side.
Despite the fact that Ji-woo did not want to discuss his feelings with Seo-joon, the entire season would have ended in 20 minutes if Ji-woo voiced his feelings and explained to Seo-joon how he was lonely and did not like how the actor was changing up his life just to be with Ji-woo.
The second season of “Stranger Things” is plagued by conflict, but I still enjoy it. There’s not enough here to justify a renewal, though.
