My toxic trait for To My Star 2 is that I want Seo Joon to hurt Ji Woo's feelings. Terribly. I mean i want this man sobbing and begging for him back.

We don't know what demons Ji Woo is fighting, but the way we know Seo Joon would bend himself backwards to help and love Ji Woo lets me know Ji Woo is following bad habits.

I am simply tired of Seo Joon having to experience the Hot and Cold of Ji Woo for them to probably make up and have fluff time. I want Ji Woo to chase Sso Joon, understand how much pain he added to the relationship from S1 to S2, have to work towards earning Seo Joon's love, and then get some fluff.

But it's BL, so how much balance do we expect to get.

TO MY STAR 2: OUR UNTOLD STORIES - The Kiss

(Reposting from a comment I made on a yt post)

Jiwoo talking about Seojoon being honest (something he's always loved about seojoon, and hated that he couldn't be himself, whether it comes to his feelings or literally anything else, because when it came to accepting his feelings or telling Seojoon why he left, he's been lying this whole time)

Jiwoo kissing Seojoon even though his lip had blood on it (and yK that Jiwoo is such a clean freak he would never, but he's so gone for Seojoon that it overrides even his strongest OCD-esqe tendencies)

Jiwoo kissing Seojoon once without hesitation, but not moving away, staying right there, coaxing Seojoon into kissing him back, trying to convince that the kiss isn't a mistake or an accident on the spur of the moment, that he's really there and doing it because he wants to, because he's so caught up in his emotions

Jiwoo unabashedly showing his desire for Seojoon, trying to reciprocate the energy that Seojoon has been giving him throughout their relationship

Jiwoo holding on to Seojoon while Seojoon cups his face, they're sitting in the middle of the road like nothing else matters, because nothing else matters

Jiwoo taking everything Seojoon's trying to give and giving back just as much if not more, trying to show Seojoon in ways other than words that he's missed Seojoon as much as Seojoon's missed him

To My Star 2: a love letter to all the jiwoos out there...

Its been years since a show have made me feel this way, but i will start by saying that i agree with the some of the critique of the show, there are pacing issues and so many topics that remain unexplored, these comments are absolutely valid...but the thing is, i can be aware and accept these issues and it would still not reduce my enjoyment of the show, i think we all have different tolerance levels for the media that we consume, and god knows i have enjoyed shows more issues than tms2 (Danyok anyone?)

Ok time to rave about this show, i have been rewatching ep 10 since last sunday and yesterday i rewatched the whole season and i was ugly sobbing from the moment seojoon said "i lost" to the end, this show gave me everything i wanted and everything i didn't know i needed

reading all the jiwoo apologist posts here and on twitter, i'm for sure not alone in seeing myself in him, not defending his actions at all but i get how he got to that point...

guys, being jiwoo is hard, he lost his parents when he was still a teenager, finding cooking to be his only comfort and then had a breakup where his ex wish him unhappiness for the rest of his life. that shit will stick with you and shape you, on top of that being orphan trying to make a living in seoul, i'm sure he experienced a lot of discrimination and unwanted pity. his walls are so high because he needed to protect himself in a world where he is alone, this is not a person who is used to receive love and kindness

despite that jiwoo became a kind person (not a great boyfriend though as both his ex & seojoon will learn the hard way), jiwoo cared and tried to protect seojoon after knowing him only for a few days, jiwoo tried to help hyuanggi out even after he tried to blackmail seojoon, jiwoo thought about his ex when he is with seojoon because he finally know how much he hurted her & felt sorry (how many of us have imagined that the people who hurted us would do this?) the way jiwoo care for yooha as if she is his daughter T_T, jiwoo remain respectful and kind to the village elders even when they talked shit about his dead parents!! and they literally came in to his flop restaurant to call him unlikeable to his face. jiwoo take all that with a straight face, he can handle the hostility and unkindness because this is what he is used to, a part of him thinks that he deserves it and another part of him finds comfort in the familiarity of pain and loneliness...

when the villagers finally showed some kindness towards him, something broke inside jiwoo and i felt that...that was cathartic, seojoon's love alone will never be enough to cure jiwoo of his loneliness, insecurities and fears. and it shouldn't be either, we can love someone but we can never be everything to that person. humans needs a whole support network, that burden should not be carried by one person, that is not fair or healthy

"even though someone is by my side, there are times i need someone else"

when jiwoo said that to his ex, i think both seojoon and many viewers thought he was refering to him wishing that he was back with his ex or thinking that seojoon is not enough. i interpret it as jiwoo understanding that people cannot be fulfilled with a romantic relationship alone, we needs to have some variation of other relationships, with family, friends, colleagues or we need to at least be ok with who we are when we are alone...so yes, seojoon is not enough

"I was alone, whiIe kang seojoon was surrounded by people. I hate feeling this way. Its like without kang seojoon, i dont exist either"

I don't think jiwoo had much of any relationship with anyone aside from seojoon, and he spent so much time in that apartment waiting for seojoon with only his destructive thoughts as company, and when those noises became so loud that it was unbearable, he ran away, just like he did in the first season, this is his MO!

jiwoo loves seojoon so much, but he could not understand why someone like seojoon would want to be with him, when seojoon who is loved and who have so many other happy relationships in his life, and so jiwoo is terrified of the day seojoon will realise this and jiwoo would loose everything again, he can't handle that, it's not that he doesn't trust seojoon, but he have zero trust that he would be enough for seojoon. at the same time jiwoo is desperate to love and be loved by seojoon, he was so happy that it made him vulnerable, that is when his defence mechanism kicked in. jiwoo put up those walls to protect himself not knowing that he is also trapping himself behind those walls

jiwoo spent a year without seojoon, and he was miserable, but it was not for nothing, he gained a support system in yoohaa and her mom, he can now allow himself to depend on people who loves him, and he has his own flop restaturang that he now can work hard to...uhm un-flop. the show ended with jiwoo finally coming to terms with his cowardness and starting to work on breaking down those walls and he was finally ready to let seojoon all the way in

so to all of us who recognise ourselves in jiwoo, its ok to receive and accept love for what it is, none of us are perfect and love is definitely not, hurt and disappointment are inevitable, its ok to take a break when it become too much and then pick yourself up again...learn to forgive ourselves and those who hurt us

All the cheerful Old Fashion Cupcake posts (with a side of that kinky preview) on my feed along with all the angst of To My Star making me go like:

[thedooristhebluecushion]

Finished To My Star 2: Our Untold Stories today after starting it... yesterday so hats off to all the fans who watched in real time and had to wait a week, you are fortified in steel I know not of.

[joarys]

But can we just talk about how Seojoon never got mad or irritated with Jiwoo even though jiwoo was literally so rude and cold to him in the beginning???? Seojoon just continued being the little ball of sunshine that he is and never really asked jiwoo to "fix" his attitude or something. He accepted, loved, and respected the fact that Jiwoo has his walls up and never once questioned it. If that's not love idk what is. 😫🙌🏼 seojoon just became my favorite bl character and i want to protect him forever. ❤️

And also SON WOO HYUN??? he snappedt and i couldnt be more thankful to him for giving life to seojoon :((( ����

It's not really just the kiss for me, but also how Jiwoo sees how much Seo Joon takes responsibility, blames himself only, and his abandonment issues that Jiwoo might not have realized the extent of.

Moments like these in series always pull on my heartstrings. The significant other seeing their partner isn't as strong as they put on or assume them to be.
