What a mess this is

I was intrigued by the synopsis of the series and was waiting to watch it. And then recently binged it and felt an immeasurable need to write a review nonetheless.
It was a MESS. The main subject of the series was kuea and lian getting in an arranged marriage, where kuea, a university student was eagerly waiting for this wedding as he was madly in love with his future partner and the latter, a ceo who never showed much interest in his fiance. Due to this lack of interest and love from lian's side caused kuea to call of the wedding. This could have been a great relationship development story from here but it took every turn that was all wrong.

-Lian was cold towards his fiance, which i never understood why. He did seemed to care about kuea but later on this care totally started looking like over possessiveness and controlling. I don't know why when kuea asked him if he loves him or not he says no. Whereas, just after calling off the wedding by kuea he goes around his show in the bar, picks him up and kiss him while he was drunk. Like whyyyyy?????!!! You don't kiss someone if you don't love them and they love you when they are drunk and probably don't even know whom they are kissing. Even though kuea kissed him back i think that was not consentual if he doesn't even remember it in the morning due to alcohol. Moreover I don't know why he wanted to keep kuea with him so bad, i understood the marriage set up by elders, and the so called responsibility but saying he doesn't love kuea then controlling his every action and situation so that he doesn't have any chance but to remain close to lian was so messed up. Like even after there first sex i was still like does he love him for real or the responsibility has pushed him to do anything to keep kuea with him. Like lian is not an ideal lover what so ever. He was possessive, controlling, mean, selfish and other 20 bad words. I don't really think kuea ever felt like he can be himself in front of him.
On the other hand kuea was just as confusing. Why he needed to hide his true self from lian. They knew each other since they were kids, how both of them never sensed that they have changed or was hiding there true self. Kuea didn't go back to US to study to spend time WITH lian but never ever discussed his liking with him??? I mean how? They did go on dates from the movement of kuea's dicision to stay in Thailand. How they never talked about their likings to each other. Why he started hiding it and what impression did lian gave him after his homecoming that made kuea to hide such things. God it was so complicated and TOXIC.

The second couple yi and diao was terrible as well with a little better development from diao's side. Yi is so controlling over diao's outing from the beginning to the point to set curfews for him. And it was clear diao was very very scared of yi. But the question is WHY???
The relationship and cohabitation and diao living in yi's house was vague at the beginning and remained like that to the end. Something happened to diao because of yi which was also vaguely explained. Everything was too vague between them. They looked cute but this relationship was nothing more than toxic from yi's side.


Both the relationships was nothing sort of ideal, it doesn't have to be. What it have to be was full of growth and development which lacked heavily. Both hias wanted to keep there partners with them no matter what, irrespective of the fact that kuea and diao was in love with them totally. They didn't wanted them because they love them but because it was a responsibility which was so unfair for kuea and diao's side who loved them unconditionally even after there controlling behaviour.
Lian knew that kuea will never reject him if he shows little interest in him and that was what was happening from 2-5 eps. Lian came close to kuea so many times to have his way which kuea obliged and was forced to accept his condition because ofcourse he loved him and was threatened in the name of his mother. Like SO TOXIC. Why would you do that to someone who loves you so much.
Yi gave diao his house to live and in exchange took his freedom as rent. He WANTS to know where diao is everytime and is not very supportive even when he is with kuea after his curfew. Diao was visibly scared of yi and sometimes i felt like he liked it. He loved having someone so much in his control.
I loved that diao stood up for himself and was very clear about his feelings unlike kuea who when was close to lian acted like he loves him and then when alone made plans to "uncover lian's truth"( i don't know why he was thinking the way he was").

Overall the only cute thing in this series was foie or poppy.
The relationships was bad and toxic
Character development was like my grades, decreasing and constantly bad.
Acting was okay.

Will never suggest anyone to watch it.

Wasted potential

Yes you read that correct "wasted potential".

What looked like a mixture of suspense, supernatural and our favourite enemies to lovers troupe from the trailer turned out to be nothing but an empty plot with events so repetitive that it's make you skip the entire episode without you even noticing it.

The premises of the story was somewhat good but the debate about uniforms and social media was so meaningless and stupid that I seriously wanted those protesters to loose and get back to studying.

The first episode depicting the difference in the ideologies of ayan and akk by their actions makes it very interesting on how they will actually fall in love but this as well became heavily disappointing when it actually came due to the lack of development and clarifications. The chemistry between the main leads was no lie amazing but the development towards that part was poorly written.

The supernatural part was also so poorly written that I midway began to doubt if it really is a supernatural series.

Akk's character what I anticipated as a rule respecter but also conflicted about them internally became a let down for me after a revelation which some how I was expecting from a mile away. His sense of duty was over the top which we knew was important for his further studies but it still doesn't justifies what he did.

Ayan on the other hand was supposed to be a smart and cunning Rebel but he too turned out to be nothing but a mourning nephew with mere details in his revolution.

The series overall was a loop of events with accidents happening over and over again and not very compelling interactions between the couples.

The second couple was adorable but they too threw me off with that non consent kiss.

I skipped most of the episodes which really didn't felt like waste as it became dragging without details and story specifications.

Overall a big let down.
The topic was very nice but poorly written and executed.
Watch only if you have nothing to do otherwise skip till you can't find anything to watch.

Yessssss...no more highschool bullshit

no more school love story

What is really nice about this drama is that it is not about highschool love. The difference and uniqueness in the premises of the story is what made me hooked on this drama from the teaser only.
The set up of the teaser gave it all a Wattpad and unrealistic but lovable vibes what only best fictions can provide and the trailer didn't disappointed as well.

The story between rain and payu started nicely but also weirdly based on the circumstance they were put in but it didn't looked forced or out of flow due to how rain's character is depicted. Payu on the other hand is a well written bad boy and the actor did justice to it( when I say 'well written bad boy' i am not implying being bad is good).
Payu on the first episode is shown as a person who sleeps around if he's interested while rain as a person who sees the world way too nicely (he is very naive, will probably sell himself out without even knowing).
I love how their story went and how they were both persuing each other with mutual respect towards each other, their studies and work which other bl series take for granted (like how the hell do they even pass even though all they do is fall in love) being the first ever series to put this much attention on studies and exams. The most astonishing trait about payu was how he was always making it clear about what kind of relationship he wants and how serious he was. And also thanks to the non dragging plot and length, rain was smart enough to figure out his feelings on time.

The second couple was nice. Not a wholesome start at all. I actually hated how pai didn't really left any choice for sky but ofcourse that was how his character was. However the development was very cute and believable on pai's side and wholesome but a bit unrealistic on sky's side considering how it all started. But ofcourse people change and so do feelings.

Anyway everything about the drama is well written with Mount Everest level chemistry. Ignoring one or two flaws won't do any harm hence a mature drama with unique and enjoyable plot.
Definitely worth watching atleast once.

Love finds its way

My review might seem over the top and biased but that's what I think about it.
A true masterpiece, and it will indeed remain to be one for years to come.
When I watched season 1 I didn't actually felt like I was watching some people act, it looked like it was happening for real. And when it ended a part of me was just convinced that they are real in this world or any parallel world. When the news of season 2 came flying I was so excited but also scared that it will take the turn of every season 2 where the writing and acting just becomes so sloppy and boring that one might have to just act like the season 1 was the end and season 2 never happened.
But boy this was not the case with 'to my star'.
The story became more real, insted of giving us lovey-dovey moments we got to see what actually happens when you are in a relationship. How small matters can affect you and how those small matters are not small at all. That was truly the harsh reality of relationship and I loved it
Some people may not like the ending but I think according to their personalities and development that was more than better and justified ending.
And please I want a season 3 with then against their families and world. Also hoping to see them get married. If that happens I would certainly get an heart attack.
Well for the music it's very nice and soothing. Not over exaggerated at all. Support roles are awesome. And I hope we can know more about the side actors cause they seem so interesting.

Do watch it once. You will love it❤️❤️❤️

Love so warm(≧▽≦)

After 7 episodes came out, i started reading reviews about this show. And it was not good. Most of the people said that it's kind of boring and slow. And that their chemistry wasn't much to talk about. The only promising thing the show provided was the little cute angel kid. I thought it is going to be a pass for me.
However after the 8th episode came out I binge watched it and god I loved it soooo much. Yes, some may feel that the story is slow or the chemistry is not overflowing but believe me it's nothing like that. And because it's not like that, it is perfect. It's not that simple to fall in love and just straight up confess, it takes a lot of time. I loved that the pacing was slow but natural and boring to say the least. And when i tell you that the chemistry is so warm, it's true. The way they look at each other and smile when the other is not looking is so ugggggggghhhhh, damn it's too cute. And our little onigiri baby is too cute and adorable actor.
Anyone thinking to pass this show. WATCH IT. IT'S ABSOLUTELY LOVELY AND FRESH.

YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT♡♡

Why is it the best series ever ahhhhhhhhhhh

This is the best JBL ever. After the 1st season and the movie I thought it couldn't get any better and when they announced that a season 2 is on its way I was worried that it might not be as good as the previous ones. However, it just proved me wrong and I am happy it did.
The story unfolded in the best way, with the couple still trying to balance everything in their life and overcoming obstacles together. The new characters felt so nice, like they never felt new, like they were always a part of the story.


I loved it way to much and everyone should give it a try.(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

What the hell was that??!!!

This is absolutely the best kbl ever. I can even go as far as to say best bl ever.

I love myuang ha, our main lead. His acting was phenomenal. I can literally feel the confusion, fear, irritation and love through the screen from him. He is definitely a gem.
Yeon woo was just an adorable baby. I love the changes in his behaviour after he started falling for myuang ha. His little smiles and giggles whenever he saw him was just uggggggghhh(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠).
And the best part he didn't took too much time to realise his feelings. He was so sure and true to his feelings. Also even though there were circumstances that stopped myuang ha from doing the same. We could still feel that he is too falling for him.
The other characters were amazing too.
I loved sang won's character. I felt bad for him but I loved it that he didn't started hating on Yeon woo just because he became his love rival. Moreover, he started helping him more because he loved myuang ha which is adorable and shows how much he really cared for myuang to even do what makes myuang ha happy. He is lovely and I wish he finds himself a lover too in their universe.


I won't say much even though I did but Just watch it.
Definitely worth every second.
