Review Fated Hearts
Thank you. I share your frustration. Its the dastardly influence of short dramas. Now all the long dramas are…
It’s common to have writing rooms in Hollywood to split up episodes but they all coordinate/discuss things and everything is overseen by a head writer and/or showrunner. This wasn’t done very well here 😄

Could you please recommend some dramas with solid, logical writing that have good endings? Sometimes, writing can be done well but they fumble the ending like they did with The Demon Hunter’s Romance (supposedly, writer had a HE written but iQIYI forced a change to very unconvincing OE… so the last 1-2 episodes kind of ruined the show for many people).

Review Fated Hearts
Yes this was a real struggle in the back half. It really should have been at most a 20 episode drama.
Are there any good ā€œshortā€ historical C-dramas? I’ve only come across 30+ episode ones.

That might not happen. It’s part of the deal Netflix has with SBS
Yes, it’d be fun for this show. Sometimes Viki comments are great (enjoyed them
during Love Scout), but other times they are kind of mean or weird (and not in a good way) 😳

Lin Ling actually told FL that ML is being held in the house. FL mentioned it when talking to someone else.

I guess, my point is this: if FL knew where the ML is being held, why not tie up the bad guys so they couldn’t alert The Evil Stepmom. That’d buy her time to try to rescue ML.

Review Fated Hearts
Terrific review, love the way you write about these dramas. Also makes me feel less of a wimp when I seem, lately,…
This drama had such a promising beginning which makes it even sadder they couldn’t maintain that momentum 😄

After reading your review, I realize I didn't miss anything. I watched up to episode 5 and saw that it wasn't…
I watched up to ep. 17 or 18 before putting on hold because the plot went off the rails in ep. 16. Watched excellent Love in the Clouds after that and slowly finished this drama with a help of 1.5-2x speed.

Wow, different writing teams? That is explains so much! Maybe I don’t understand the preferences of domestic audience, but to me the story is crucial so when it gets butchered (like here or in other C-/K-dramas), it completely overshadows cast, costumes, sets, etc.

Review Fated Hearts
Couldn’t agree more with this review! I rated this 7.5 (9 for main couple + 6.0 for everything else). The writers completely lost the plot in ep. 16 and it barely recovered towards the end (33-38).
I might’ve upgraded it to 8.0 if Jinxiu’s emperor survived, married 2FL and had a kid. Their pairing towards the end was the only interesting thing about event in Jinxiu which otherwise felt like a waste of screen time.

Title Fated Hearts
High rating of this drama is mostly due to excellent beginning (episodes 1-16). After that, screenwriters do a rather poor job. I’d suggest skipping 17-32 and resuming starting with ep. 33.

I agree. This has all the ingredients of a very good drama but some choices my screenwriters were illogical/confusing.…
Yeah, it was probably something like that but it just doesn’t make sense logically. He made a mistake while preparing fugu fish, so that mistake could have been deadly. It’s like defending a doctor who made a terrible mistake during surgery — why would you do it when it could lead to hurting more people?

My initial theory was that she didn’t want to work for the chef anymore because he became too obsessed over earning the stars (she mentioned it in one of the episodes). So perhaps the plan was for her and that guy to quit and set up their own restaurant? šŸ¤”

P.S. It was kind of cute seeing the Motto’s former chef working in a food truck at the end, but it’s also hugely unrealistic. She would have people lining up to hire her because she’s so famous. And they’d let her cook whatever receipies she wanted.

Haha… This could be like Single’s Inferno where most of the cast are models (both M and F). Even if they have a regular job, they often model 🤣

It was a weird choice for a 10 episode drama to dedicate 2-3 episodes to a guest character. By the end of it we…
I agree. This has all the ingredients of a very good drama but some choices my screenwriters were illogical/confusing. I could even live with the arc in Japan but found it baffling that they never truly explained why FL sacrificed herself.

Sigh… Absolutely zero people would have complained if the last episode didn’t have any scenes/drama with the ex or his family. That extra time would have been better spend on the main couple, secondary couple or even the third potential couple šŸ¤”
