Fated to Love You (2008)

It is typical romantic story, though the comparison to Cinderella is nice fairy element. At the beginning, the fates of Xin Yi and Cun Xi weren't very absorb, but then, when the story is more complicated and Xin Yi goes to Shanghai I've strated watching carefully. I admire Xin Yi's angelic patience to Mr. Ji nad his childish games.

The main character's thread isn't the only one. I love supporting chracters! All Chen family and grandma Wang Zhen Zhu should be noticed! What is more, I'm a fan of 'Father' Dylan eyes, though his style isn't good.

The last episode is incredible. I didn't know that the end will be so intricate.

And these final notes... hah...Asian Lassie xD

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.

The reason because I watch this drama is because of the remake of the Korean version. We could really see the difference between the two dramas. Set by the year 2008, graphical effects isn’t that great compared to the Korean version. What I like though in this drama is that it has that comedic feels (*more likely slapstick comedy) that only Taiwanese drama could really portray. The love also of family is much greater seen in this drama. I like that I’ve seen this after the Korean version although mas tsada jud unta na first nako ni nakita. So far I have good memories while watching this so I’m quite grateful that I’ve seen this.

Как это у меня часто бывает, неожиданно посмотрела тайваньскую дораму. Думала не осилю 24 серии по 1,2 часа. Но сериал оказался не просто смотрибельным, а очень и очень хорошим. Есть конечно, законы жанра, штампы и правила съемок, но актеры играют безукоризнено. За что им большой респект.
Дорамка начинается как комедийная,и правда было смешно. Очень многое делали актеры второго планы: мамы, бабушки, сестры и мужья сестер, помощники и адвокаты.
К 8 серии началась романтическо-дущещепательная линия. 12 серия просто вынесла мне мозг... Да, такой вот сюжет. но это слишком больно и страшно
Между главными героями не просто искрило, а жгло и пепелило. Не сразу, постепенно, особенно когда девочка нашла в себе силы измениться. А по началу она была дура дурой, хотя тоже по сюжету.
В общем и целом отличная мелодрама, никто не раздражал, все вызывали искренние чувства, даже Анна, которую можно понять, но тяжело простить.
