Love Destined By Fate

This might be a long-ish review, so bare with me :) for I have a lot to say about this amazing drama. While the leads are well-known and have gained popularity over time, this drama to me still feels underrated in the long term.

Story:
The story progressed well in terms of introducing all the characters within the show in the beginning and seeing each of theirs unfold towards the end and how they contributed to the overall story. I really enjoyed the relationship between Myung-hee and Hee-tae and how two were each other's 'love at first sight.' The lessons learned throughout this show is another reason as to why the story is well written and how beautiful this drama is. Myung-hee's persistence and compassionate attitude into helping others really shows how strong of an individual she is. She saw the importance in her family, but the cry for help for others and decided to help those who couldn't help themselves during a time of despair which is why I really loved Myung-hee. Hee-tae risked his life for the one he loved and showed how far love can someone to, his bright personality and strong will is a reason why he deserves 'best boy' <3.

Acting/Cast:
I am so glad they casted Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si as the leads because of their great acting, you can really see the chemistry between the two and how well it was portrayed in the show. With the other leading and supporting roles such as Lee Sang-yi and Geum Sae-rok, their amazing acting really shines in the roles and we hope to see them star in other dramas. We can't forget about the iconic Kim Won-hae (Kim Hyun-cheol) for taking a role in this drama.

Music:
The OST for this drama was really nice, for a lot of the songs were just vocals and instrumentals.

Overall:
This is amazing melodrama hopefully continues to reserve the hype it deserves. From the beautiful cinematography to the outstanding chemistry between the leads, this drama will leave you with a bunch of emotion; for it definitely did for me. From gushing over the cute romance between the two, to crying over the tragic scenes that left me heartbroken, this drama really left an impact on me. I would highly recommend this drama to someone who's beginning to watch K-dramas, for the length of the drama is perfect and has a well written story overall. This would definitely hit home if you enjoy melodramas. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the event that took place during this time. I know many friends and family lost loved ones and suffered during this time, with many victims still going missing till this day. Sending all the love towards these families that suffered the most from this event, for you will never be forgotten.
