In her final year of high school, Lee Hong Ju fell head over heels in love. But this first brush with love ended in heartbreak. Ever since, she has been deeply skeptical when it comes to everything love-related. A decade later, she became an animation producer when fate reunited her with Kang Hu Yeong, who had a crush on her, in a café. He has returned to South Korea from the United States and is now a 29-year-old financial planner. They are both hit by a wave of emotions. Could a fresh chance at romance be in the cards? Or has too much water passed under the bridge? (Source: Viki) ~~ Adapted from the webtoon "Uyeonilkka?" (우연일까?) written by Nam Ji Eun (남지은) and illustrated by Kim In Ho (김인호). Edit Translation

Sweet and Fluffy Romance

Honestly, I don’t understand the other ratings cause everyone seems to have a problem with the plot although it was pretty clear what it was. Me personally, I’m a fan of these kind of clichés where the ML falls first and FL realises later. If you don’t like this kind of plot then watch something else rather than expecting something different. Then again, it’s just 1 ep so we don’t know how things might change. So far the main leads have really good chemistry and they’re some of my favourite actors so I’m not disappointed. Also, it was nice to see the guy from My Lovely Liar here as the second lead lmao?iykyk

Looking forward to the rest of the episodes ?

Okay, so I finished watching so I can give the full review. Honestly, for me it was good. If you’re looking for a sort of laid back drama with cute scenes then yeah watch it. To be honest, some scenes were a bit dragged and some stuff were going really slow but it’s fine considering it was 8 episodes. Cause normally most rom coms lose the plot after the first half so it’s good they kept it short.

Might not be for everyone but give it a try.

A short, nostalgic cute warm and fluffy drama....

Serendipity's embrace is a short romcom about first love, second chance romance, friendship and more.

It's a drama filled with warmth, lots of cute and fluffy moments and is most definitely going to give you nostalgia from the old Korean romcoms.

It's a cute drama that balances romance and comedy and considering its short, nothing felt repetitive or draggy....

The PLOT is something you have seen before, it's cliched and troupey but definitely executed in a way that feels warm and entertaining and engaging....the pacing is decent, nothing feel too rushed or too slow..it's the perfect pacing for the eight episodes.

The CAST did a great job, I must say this is one of my most loved characters of Kim so Hyun..her character as hong Ju is fun vibrant, clumsy, cheerful but at the same time not cringe or annoying...you could tell she was having an amazing time taking on this role.

Chaejongyeop's eye acting is definitely something worth of praise..he expresses him self through his eyes and that's something you could see especially in the earlier parts of the drama where he came off as a bit unexpressive...I also loved how he wasn't the typical cold male lead but rather just quiet, calm and mature...

Other characters were also a fun addition to the overall casts and I love how we got little to no toxic characters..it felt refreshing.

The characterisation was perfect and I loved the cast chemistry and how they all complimented eachother perfectly which added to the charm of the series.

The CHEMISTRY between the leads was one of the major points of this drama, their interactions felt cute and warm and natural, I loved how their conversations flowed so naturally at times it didn't feel acted and if anything made me wish that this drama was a bit longer then it's definitely the leads interactions together which gave me lots of flutters and butterflies.

Overall this drama was amazing, something simple yet cute to watch as in to take a break from the heavy plots we have been getting recently, something to remind you of the old k romcoms that were the reasons why we became kdrama find, something funny and cute to giggle it....this drama was exactly what it promised to be, a cute fluffy ROMCOM.

Do I recommend it?

Absolutely....you will have a great time watching this especially if you looking for a short, simple yet cute ROMCOM to watch!!!!
