Lazy, uninspired, lame. I think there'll always be space for the so-called "cliche" storylines to shine because we do deserve a break from the KinnPorsche's and Not Me's of the world (I love those!!!) But come on, that doesn't mean you don't have to put any effort in it. Some charm, some individuality, some uniqueness, anything to differentiate your show from the others. But this show neglects all of that to offer some of the most unimaginative stuff I've ever seen. GMM should know way better than to put out stuff like this, as the BL powerhouse that they are. We've seen this many times before, with the same conflicts, with the same dialogues, same resolutions. Incredibly boring! To make it worse, the whole "miscommunication is our only agent of conflict" trope only gave us two insufferable leads who couldn't do anything about their feelings. This type of situation might be realistic, if we think about it, but we're watching a TV show and things need to happen and be exciting. For that, they decide to add a 3rd wheel who will end up being an asshole and a fool. Then the ex girlfriend who's like "oh I was just being domestically assaulted! If I knew my ex was with you I wouldn't have bothered the two lovebirds uwu." Embarrassing.

I see something good in Joong. Love the power he conveys with his eyes. He can use them to emote well. But the other lead was like eeerrmm. It's crazy that I was supposed to believe that half of the cast was in love with his character when the character itself doesn't have any special charms and the actor doesn't necessarily stand out in any way, visually. His friends are as cute as he is. I won't say he was a terrible casting choice, though, cuz he and Joong do have some cute chemistry. If he improves with time, maybe they will deliver something better together (with better writers and a better director, obviously).

I don't know if I missed the star symbolism in the beginning, but as the one thing that apparently names the show, they could have made it more of a theme throughout the series (like 1000 Stars or To My Star did, for example). Would've brought something special to the story, perhaps? The way it was, it felt like just a very generic title combining words that are commonly used to name BL shows. Maybe that's where the lines overlap? Generic title for a generic series. Their minds!!

But nothing was more offensive than having the displeasure of seeing people calling this "a good well done cliche". That would be stuff like Bad Buddy, Crossing the Line, Kieta Hatsukoi. This is just crap.
