There is only one word that comes to mind when thinking of this drama; plain. Everything about this drama is plain. There's no fancy storyline, no humor, no romance, no tragedy, and no lesson....it was just plain. When I first read the storyline I was expecting some what of a rom/com, nothing extravagant, or overly mushy, but something with a little humor and at least some love interest. However, this drama is nothing like what the initial storyline makes it out to be. Yes, there is a firm foundation in friendship, yet the friendships throughout this drama seemed forced, and unnatural. The story made me literally fall asleep at times, and that's not an easy task to accomplish. The acting, however, was good. I enjoyed how the focus did not remain on one individual solely, even though the story's perspective was from one of the characters, the drama incorporated each and every actor/character in a real manner. The one character I could not stand was the lead female. Her character is what I like to call the Japanese Kristen Stewart. She had no personality, and barely spoke...ever. The music was highly annoying, and I just wanted it to stop most of the time. This drama isn't worth rewatching. I had high hopes for this drama but was sadly let down, therefore, I give this drama a 5. It was just...average.
WHAT HAPPENED JIRO????!!! Ahh man! This makes me sad. When I first read the synopsis for ToGetHer I was really excited to watch it. The storyline is great. Maybe it's just me, but I love those celebrity/normal person relationship dramas, so I was really looking forward to this drama. I was highly disappointed as the drama went on, not because of the story, but because of the acting. All I can say is WHAT HAPPENED??! Any Jiro fans would be really excited to see this, because of him. I absolutely LOVE him, but for some reason his placement in this drama was awkward. He's a great actor, but I don't think he fit for the role of Mars.I didn't see much chemestry bewteen the two leads either. Rainie's character had no personality, which was really annoying. Rainie's character was completely different from any of her other roles, so I was impressed at how broad her character development was. Rainie did great, but her character was highly lacking. She was too quiet, or didn't have enough emotion. I don't really remember the music, so I just gave it a 6. I figured it was pretty even, but I decided to be nice and give it a 6 instead of a 5. I'm not sure about rewatching. I mean, great storyline, but the acting wasn't the best :( Overall, I give this drama a 7. I love Jiro as an actor, so it was great to see him, and I felt that Rainie did a great job, but it's not really worth rewatching. :(
Fated To Love You really has a great story about unexpected love, and family. I felt that the plot was good, and the message even better. This drama really made a stand for the importance of life, no matter how small, so small that's the life isn't even born yet. The cast did a great job. I loved every cast member, and thought that each and every played an important role in this drama, but my favorite had to be Anson ;). The music was cute, but when reading the subs for the lyrics, the song really made me think, "What the heck is this?" The lyrics were just plain weird. I would probably not watch this drama again. It's not that it is bad, and I did highly enjoy it, it's just that I think it was way too long. The drama could have been done in 16 episodes. The scenes were played out too long, and the drama between the characters was never ending. It seemed like there was never a moment of peace between the characters, and there was always misunderstanding. I understand how there really isn't a drama without drama, and usually the same sort of drama too, the ex girlfriend, the miscommunication, the "I'm not good enough for you, so I'm leaving you", and so on, but usually dramas don't implement every single one of those conflicts, but Fated To Love You did, and it was overused and overly drawn out to the point that kept looking at the time, waiting for the episode to be over. With that being said, overall I gave this drama a 7. It would have gotten a better rating based on the story and cast alone, but with the drama having too much drama, and being too long, I really couldn't give Fated To Love You a better overall score, even though I really wanted to. This is a great drama to watch if you have a few days of free time. I think it is definitely worth watching, it's just going to take some patience to get through.
