Better not waste your time...

The first ep 10 eps are okay until the big reveal.

First, I THOUGHT that the story was okay. I'm starting to like it as it progress but damn they have to ruin it because of that INSANE TWIST. WHY?

2nd, the FL. I'm sorry but I'm not sorry. I felt she's bland. It's like she just have one emotion. Plus, it looks like she hates being kiss by the ML. She looks disgusted everytime they have sweet scenes.

After thr BIG REVEAL I dropped the drama. It's really creepy how the story went like an innocent one into something stalkerish (if that's a word).

And I don't know why it has high ratings despite the CRAZY flow.

I tried to watch the Season 2 but the Season 1 is better IF they stick to the original story minus the WEIRD TWIST.

NOPE, I DON'T recommend wasting your time. But if you are curious then why not.

I could have been better...

When I heard that Jerry Yan and Shen Yue will be paired up. I was really excited. Like hello Dao Ming si (2001) and Sanchai (2018) will be in a drama together. I buy it already.

The storyline is same with Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine's "Just My Luck" which is intriguing for me on how they will pull it off.

After watching the drama, it gives me mixed feeling. I don't know if I liked it or I was just really overwhelm by the fact that JY and SY were paired up.

I find the story boring. In all honesty. The actual supposed twist where they switch luck was not really utilize. I mean it WAS but not entirely in the story which I find a big waste.

As I watch longer, I just felt tired and the excitement all washed up.

I mean it's not that bad, I just felt the execution could have been better. There is also no spark for me between the 2 leads. I just felt they are like brothers.

Why you should watch this?

It took me several attempt to finish this drama. The very first one was when it was released. The first 2 eps didn't really caught my attention, same goes with the 2nd and 3rd attempt. Then on January 2, 2023. I gave it a shot again and glad I did. I think this is one of those drama we are all looking for.

1. No ANNOYING 2nd lead couple
2. No CRAZY Exes. I mean they were there BUT glad they were mature enough to accept and move on.
3. No SUPER, DUPER, STUPID break up reasons. Yes I know they had their reasons why they parted ways in a few eps. BUT that's understandable for me.
4. Lots of Lovey Dovey moments
5. Family, Friends and Fans are supportive. How I wish it's the same with all our beloved actors, actresses and idols.
6. Just perfect.
7. And Yu Yu raised my standard again. (Sorry mom, I'll be forever alone unless I meet my Yu Yu.

I mean this is a so good to be true drama. But heck. I never felt tired watching this. I feel so happy and been rewatching all their moments.

Healing... healing...healing..

I'm not an Esther Yu or Vin Zhang fan BUT I fell in love with this drama though I skipped most of the 2nd couples story (though I like Li Jiaqi). I was so drawn by the lead couple. It's a typical romance drama but I feel so relax. It has this healing effect on me whenever I see the 2 leads interact and how their relationship progress.It's cliche but not one you want to skip.

I really would suggest watching this one. Just skip the 2nd couple part.hahaha. how I wished the writers and director could have focus more on the main leads story and have written it much better

Simply Amazing...

I first watched the Movie starring Angelababy and Jing Boran. I fell in love with the story. Then I saw there is a drama version which is with YangYang and Sheng Zhuang, and I gave it a try. I already know story so far but want to see how they excuted the drama version.

It's a very cute, sweet, not so complicated which is what I like. It's refreshing. It's a light story that will give you butterflies in your stomach.

The drama showed more scenes of how XiaoNai secretly showed his affection to WeiWei. Kinda stalkerish but it's not creepy.

I like how they met in a game, WeiWei despite being a girl can compete with male online players.

She's not just a beauty but is also smart like XiaoNai.

It's simply perfect. Plus , Yang Yang is worth drooling for.

Simply Spectacular

In all honesty, I was too hesitant to watch it. Well, one is because it's too long (thanks to it's 41 episodes). And I think it's annoying having a girl stalk a guy she just met once.

But since the pandemic hit and I got nothing to watch, I said, hey, why not give it a chance.

And I watched it.

And, funny thing is, I can't just stop. They only time I leave my phone is why I need to take a leak, eat or when I need to force myself to sleep. Cause I just find it really adorable.

I like how Tongnian, the female lead is not the stupid type who runs after her crush. She is popular, talented and has 2 majors. She is a computer geek.

I like how Han Shangyan is not extremely mega popular rich guy. He is popular, if you are into CTF. His rich but not the ones in the usual CEO drama characters.

I love the relationship between him and K&K babies

I also like how they show his past with the Team Solo.

I also like their is no extreme fangirls. (Just one), No dragging exes. It's just really them.

I like how innocent Han Shangyan character is. Like how he would consult Grunt for love advised. How he is mean to Demo to sharpen him. How he simply cares for the people around him despite his cold facade.

He is mean yes, but not the type who is into violence.

I love DT and AppleDogs side story. That few scenes would make you want for more.

How Solo's Team and K&K are still friendly with each other.

Little Mi and Yaya's love story progress from a childhood fan into a potential romance.

The OST is also incredible.


It's worth watching and squeal worthy.

And I agree to why it had high ratings. 41 eps is truly worth it.

The idea is there...

If you are a fan of arrange marriage, Cinderella or Ugly Duckling like stories..

AND if you haven't seen the original 2008 one, THIS IS FOR YOU.

BUT, if you have already watched the ORIGINAL "FATED TO LOVE YOU" in 2008, it will be a love-hate feeling.


Let's start with what I like.

The CAST:

The Main Lead were cute. I like their chemistry. But I really like the guy who played Anson, the Grandma, the FL mom and the Aunt.

The Sweet Scenes. I really like how they added more scenes which shows how the ML slowly falls for the FL. I also like that they added a scene where he is assuring the FL that she is the one is choosing compare to the original one.

WHAT I DISLIKE

1. They cheated on Anna. Compare to the original one wherein it was really an accident and that everything looks it was planned by Destiny, in the 2020 version, they got drunk and had one night stand.
(Uhmm Don't use the reason that they were drunk and they don't know what they werr doing)

2. How Joe Chen portrayed the FL character is so spot on. She did look like she was a push over, you can feel pity on her since she didn't have friends, her mom and sisters only remembers her when something bad happens. At first, you don't really feel that they care about her at all. You can feel that the reason why she is a YES girl is because she wanted to be acknowledge on something.

BUT in the new version, the FL is well loved. Yes she was a pushover in the first few eps but after that, you don't feel that anymore. She has a loving mother and a Bestfriend, whereas the original she didn't have anyone except her dad who already passed away.

3. Dylan, I really love his character whether it was the Taiwan or the Korean version. I like the original that who was mistaken to be a priest by the FL. I also like that they showed the backstory of Dylan, who is looking for his missing sister and then he met the FL whi shared the same name. In the new version, it's not like that. I didn't feel Dylan's character at all (even if I'm crushin on the actor). And they even remove the part where the FL and his sister shared the same name.

4. Anna, I didn't feel any pity on Anna at all. Unlike the original version wherein, she lost her ability to dance because of an accident which she used so she can keep the ML beside her. In this version, I don't see anything that would make her want to keep the ML. The backstory and emotional trauma they used to buikd her story is not heavy enough to make me want to sympathize on her.

5. The PEN, gosh, it's one of my fave reveal. In the original, when the FL runaway because she thought that the ML didn't want her was heartbreaking. Added the fact that the ML found out that the pen that he thought was a gift from Anna was originally from the FL and she used her supposed Dowry to buy it for him. It was such a reveal that he realized he was really a jerk and decided to run after her.

But in the original, I think it was not given justice. I like that they added a story wherein it shows that the FL did a lot just to get the pen. But I felt that this was wasted.

6. The MOST heartbreaking scene was supposed to be when the FL had the miscarriage BUT I didn't feel anything. Joe Chen and Jang Nara did a great job showing despair and grief when they lost their baby. Up until now, I would cry whenever I see the the Taiwan and Korean version especially how good they show the emotion on those scene.

I just felt that the China one didn't really reach that expectation i had.

7. Tranformation. On the 2 earlier version, you can really see how they transformed from once nerdy looking woman into a confident lady.

In the newer one, there's not much at all. She has been transformed already even before she had the accident.

8. The REVELATION. In the original, it showed that the camera used to record baby Gs giving birth accidentally recorded the convo of the FL and Anna and how Anna apologize regarding the accident. The ML, his grandma and Anson saw it and that's how he confronted Anna.

But in the new one, it was like hey I know it not you its okay I forgive you. Thats all. Like it was not a big deal.


9. NO Baby G. Sad. I mean, Baby G is not a big character but still have taken part in the original story.

10. The story of the Island where the FL is from. TBH, in the new version, they can already remove it. It's like they just added it for the sake that it is part of the original story.

It is vital since in the original, the people of the island pleaded the FL to help them so they keep the factory. That she marry the ML so they can save it. It was important for me since, this gives added burden to the FL and gives her more reason to marry the ML.


I mean it's not that bad. I can see that the writer tried to make the story more realistic BUT that is why it is called YOU ARE MY DESTINY, it was Destiny who helped them meet from the accidental one night stand, and meeting again. The original version is still the best especially the story and the portrayal of the characters. I also liked the Korean version since they tried to make the story close to the original one.

I just felt that the newer version is a bit dragging. But I still would recommend especially if you haven't seen the Taiwanese one.

The original is more ROM COM, slapstick comedy which I think it's charm.
