A never ending storylline
Half way through. Tho it is a beautiful storyline, but it is really bothersome to see the FL push back the ML which is so honnest. That story line could be alot more bold. I feel they are holding so much it becomes frustrating. I read that all of it is worth watching beause of the last 3 episodes being smokey hot. I will do so, because both leads are amazing to watch. I truly hope the end will be worth wile!Was this review helpful to you?

Jane Austin would roll her eyes
I wonder why the writters/directors still believe that the general public is not ready for modern storylines, strong FLs and mature MLs. Because in spite of excellent photography and acting, this drama is still based on a 'Naive Everygirl and abusive, but handsome Chaebol'.Jane Austin's Elizabeth said to such a guy, some 210 years ago: '...And I might as well enquire why, with so evident a design of insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgment.' - That is the best description for Mr. Jang as well, a man who did not grow up enough to own his feelings so he puts all the responsibility on the FL, and she is nice (stupid?) enough to pick it up every time.
Eliza had a change of heart only when Fitzwilliam prooved he matured enough to be her equal (seeing his large estate was, ehmmm, welcome addition to his personal change). Let's see what proof will Ms. Hong-Jo reqire.

Very fun to watch!
This drama surprised me. It's one of the best dramas!The lead actors are doing a very great job with acting. It's their acting that attracts me, it is not the story. They both made this drama one of the best dramas. Very fun to watch! And the lead actors were so fun to watch. I rewatched this drama because it was so fun watching the lead actors...
I normally don't like reincarnation dramas and skip them because I don't believe in reincarnation. But this one is an exception.
Finally, after The Glory this drama got my attention!

Not for Everyone, but Worth a Watch
Review:Destined with You is a Korean drama that tells the story of an unlikely couple: a star lawyer and a lowly civil servant who is cursed. The two are drawn together by a forbidden book that contains the secrets of their past and their future.
The drama is a unique blend of genres, including rom-com, supernatural, and mystery. It starts off a bit slow, as it introduces the characters and their world. However, the pace picks up in the later episodes as the plot thickens.
One of the things that sets Destined with You apart from other K-dramas is its strong female lead. Lee Hong-jo, the civil servant, is a complex and well-developed character. She is intelligent, independent, and fiercely loyal to those she cares about.
Jang Shin-yu, the star lawyer, is also a well-developed character. He is initially portrayed as a cold and arrogant man, but he gradually warms up to Hong-jo and shows his vulnerable side.
The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable. They have great banter and their romantic scenes are both heartwarming and passionate.
However, the drama is not without its flaws. The plot can be a bit convoluted at times and some of the subplots are underdeveloped. Additionally, the CGI is not always of the highest quality.
Overall, Destined with You is an enjoyable and entertaining drama. It is not perfect, but it is a unique and refreshing take on the rom-com genre.
Recommendation:
Destined with You is a good choice for fans of Korean dramas who are looking for something different. It is also a good choice for fans of supernatural and mystery dramas. However, it is important to note that the drama starts off a bit slow and the plot can be a bit convoluted at times.
Rating:
7.5 out of 10 stars
Personal Opinion:
I personally enjoyed Destined with You. I liked the unique blend of genres and the strong female lead. I also thought the chemistry between the two leads was great. However, I did find the plot to be a bit convoluted at times and the CGI was not always of the highest quality. Overall, I think Destined with You is a worth watching drama, but it is not for everyone.

Pure definition of rom-com!
Update: It's fascinating that this drama has such extremes of love it and hate it. I am on the Love It side....there are a few plot gaps and the supposed comedy relief of the older couple's romance is totally unnecessary to the story but otherwise, it was WAY better than Heartbeat in the same supernatural fate vein. Sure it follows the tropes, but what rom-coms don't? Consider watching Forbidden Marriage if you liked this drama too. If you're a hater, do share what you've seen lately that was better! Lately I've noticed many new Kdramas are about serial murders or viscious revenge, so this was a nice change of pace.Still holds after watching it to the end: Ok, so let's just say Rowoon as the ML rocks the looks here. And he's playing the aloof guy to the tee but not so much that you can't stand him...And FL plays her typical spunky self, so I think the casting is spot on.
Supposedly this drama is not doing well in SKorea but well internationally on NetFlix, and I am one of those international fans--it's funny and quirky. I like it better so far than King the Land since the conflict between the two leads is more than just personality differences and so far, much less cotton candy sweet than KTL, cuter than My Lovely Liar, and as for a fantasy drama, more compelling than HeartBeat or Believe In You with ridiculous slapstick comedy side characters..comparing it to rom-coms during this 2023 summer period.

Dramma fantasy ma nemmeno così tanto.
Partendo dal fatto che è un drama con base fantasy mi incuriosiva tanto.Poi il cast spettacolare con due protagonisti così prometteva bene.La storia raccontata di una maledizione di quelle che si raccontano in korea partita da una sciamana che maledisce tutte le generazioni di colui che l'ha ucissa.
Inizialmente non si capisce molto poi man mano andando avanti le storia prende più forma.Lei è una semplice impiegata del comune e lui un avvocato bello affascinante e di successo che decide di lavorare in comune,è fidanzato con una stron.. e sembra solo un freddo avvocato.Si incrociano e si scontrano,poi un libro di incantesimi,una pozione d'amore,un terzo incomodo,uno stalker,colleghi di lavoro strani,genitori strambi,fidanzata bulla e stronza,una sciamana in casa di riposo e con molte lacrime sangue e sofferenze si innamorano perché alla fine di tutto questo era il loro destino e con il destino non si scherza.
A tratti un po' di confusione ma nel complesso un bel dramma che merita la visione.

One of my favourites
I was intrigued from the news of the production, because Rowoon was in it. I knew Boah would make a perfect pair because both of them had similar braincells. And I was right!! The chemistry was way beyond my expectation. I was pretty jealous of the red hand which haunts ShinYu too. No doubt there are loopholes in the storyline and editing. But I enjoyed the drama because of the leads intense chemistries. They kept us guessing the plots for sometime. Let me shout out to the leads for their acting skills. They were great and exceptional. Well done team #DestinedwithYouWas this review helpful to you?
entertaining but a little too long
the synopsis was really good so I had a lot of expectations. most of them remained unfulfilled. it's a good drama if you don't expect too much and just need something to spend your time on. I wouldn't recommend this being said. there is a lot of very good dramas out there, you can easily find something better.the story is ok, I loved the chemistry between the main leads, and also the side love story was cute. I found the 14 and 15th episodes too long and dragging some story out, they even complicated the story for no reason. it was not a successful addition in my opinion.
that was ok. it's a pity they did not exploited the story as well as they should have.
when to watch: anytime, it's a fun story.
audience: family friendly.

Wonderful Cast with Wasted Storyline
I usually approach fantasy dramas with high expectations which this drama didn’t meet but an overall okayish watch nothing spectacular and exception about the storyline.‘’ Destined with you’’ presented a mixed bag of pros and cons. A major reason for me to watch this drama was Rowoon for his striking visuals however the storyline lacked overall depths leaving audience with no interest to continue watching. Despite this setback, the drama does have some heartfelt moments of romance and suspense which served as a saving grace.
Rowoon’s visuals in the drama was such a treat to watch. The overall cast was well picked and aesthetically pleasing to watch, the acting was great and not overdone. However, the weight of the storyline was wea. The narrative lacked depth and failed to engage me as an audience. By episode 10 I felt the story completely lost track and couldn't wait to start another drama. FL has no personal character development and overall was just a spineless and confused individuals who didn't have her prioritize straight. By episode 8 the story completely loses its fantasy element and turns into a cliche love trainable and personally I feel so much could’ve been done. The romance aspect was given more importance than the fantasy element and that awful for a drama that promises us a compiling romantic fantasy.
Another notable drawback was the limited screen time of the second male lead. By episode 10 he is established as the male lead and cue to an upcoming love triangle. However prior to that not much importance was given to him so I felt so disconnected with him knowing nothing about him as an individual. This lead to lack of investment in the second male lead which affected my overall viewing experience and left a void in my narrative.
The chemistry between the leads was pleasant to watch and there were some heartfelt moments which made my heart flutter. However, it is not worth a second watch in fact I struggled to continue watching due to the weak and lengthy storyline. In conclusion it has some positive aspects but if you’re looking for a Romantic fantasy I’ll suggest investing you time on something better.
