To My Star

Premiering on January 22, 2021, To My Star is a South Korean web series consisting of 10 episodes. The storyline intricately weaves the romantic narrative of Kang Seo Joon, a former superstar actor, and Han Ji Woo, a young chef. Despite their starkly different personalities, the two embark on a relationship, only to find their love tested when the fundamental disparities in their perspectives on life, love, and various aspects become apparent. The series delves into themes of love, personal growth, and identity, providing a unique exploration from a male standpoint.

To My Star has garnered acclaim for its adept portrayal of the challenges associated with leaving behind a former life and adopting a somewhat artificial, beautiful identity to secure societal acceptance. While asserting the universal concept that "love is love" with no regard to gender, the series notably sidesteps explicit discussions on homosexuality, potentially missing an opportunity to add depth to the love story of Seo Joon and Ji Woo.

Despite this, the series remains well-received, praised for its nuanced depiction of the complexities of love, personal transformation, and identity.
