Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
im on my winter break which means I'll be watching one gay show a day
ive graduated from watching thai bl to watching korean and taiwanese bl which means no more softcore porn and more fluff and screaming over a closed lips kiss
[ID: six gifs of to my star. 1: a cup gets dropped and ji woo checks on seo joon to make sure he's okay. 2: ji woo shields seo joon from seeing a defaced poster of himself. 3: seo joon notices a new rug with a moon in the apartment. 4: seo joon cuts himself while cooking and ji woo sucks the blood from his finger. 5: ji woo grabs eggs and then puts them back since seo joon dislikes eggs. 6: seo joon notices a new space poster in the apartment. END ID]
@queercreators event 02: romance — to my star
↳ ji woo expressing love nonverbally
We’ll be living together for a while, and I think it’d be best if you had some manners.
I just express my feelings a lot. Is that a crime? Is it? Fine. That’s what I find attractive about you.
Things I loved about To My Star in no particular order:
1. That birthday dance party of literally three people. It's something a small group of friends would actually do, it's hilarious, and it's adorable.
2. While this was a short drama, the relationship didn't really feel rushed. We got to see the characters talking, hanging out, and having pretty healthy communication to be honest. With the exception of wyel, none of the Korean bls had a very natural progression to me.
3. Seo Jun
4. No but actually, I love Seo Jun. He seems selfish and carefree at first, but we pretty quickly learn that he cares a lot, is open about his feelings but also apologetic when he's in the wrong, and he's still kind to the people who have wronged him but also not a pushover. Also he's just such an adorable weirdo. And who could possibly not fall in love with that smile, not Ji Woo sir.
5. Pil Hyun being a stressed little man who has accidentally found himself in another bl drama.
6. The fact that Seo Jun communicates. He is open, he doesn't let things go unsaid, and isn't an idiot when Ji Woo does things he thinks are protecting Ji Woo. He literally tells Ji Woo that nothing he's saying makes sense when he's trying to do the "I hate you to protect you speech".
7. Both my boys are little weirdos. Seo Jun comes in with his zit thing and you're like, okay that's a thing, and then Ju Woo comes in and clips that boys nails.
8. Okay yeah, the kisses in the last couple episodes were good. They moved their mouths man, it was a pretty low bar, but they leaped over it.
9. That sequence where they're talking about how Ji Woo only owns one outfit while eating toast and then still talking about it while playing basketball. I loved it
10. Seo Jun's style. That's it, I like it. He reminds me of the bisexual sweater tiktok guy, but better dressed.
falling in love is a rarity in this world.
