Yes its predictable. You can see the ending a mile away but sometimes you want to watch something that won't surprise you or upset you at the end. You just want a bit of fluff :)
If you're looking for something to pass the time that won't make you cry and has a cute but nerdy lead actor - give this a try.

Phenomenal!
I watched this a few years ago because I was home for the holidays and trying to avoid my brother's (then) girlfriend.It was the first time seeing SJK but I already loved the FL and so I watched it for her.
To say that I was BLOWN AWAY is an understatement. It was absolutely beautiful and profoundly sad all at the same time. I would still randomly cry the next day every time I thought of a particular scene and my brother's gf (now ex thank goodness) thought I suffered from depression.
This movie gave me emotional whiplash in the most painful way but it is honestly still one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. I'm not sure I'll rewatch it over and over again because a) My poor heart but also b) I don't want to ever spoil the impression that the acting and the story has made on me.
This has cemented Song Joong ki as one of my favourite actors ever. He was terrific in this! In fact, everyone was. Park BoYoung as well!
This movie is phenomenal. Please watch it!

Stop what you're doing....and watch this
Honestly, I hardly ever take the time to write a review but this drama is special. I usually stick to kdramas because eventhough there are similar tropes, Cdramas often take the same tropes and manage to make it 10x more annoying. As the ML is 6 years younger than the FL, it could have been cringey or made the FL out to be immature or clumsy and silly, but not this one! In fact, the writers take so many of the things we come to expect from dramas and show us that you don't need all of that to produce a show worth watching.My fated boy has a strong female lead, supporting parents, no misunderstandings that could have been sorted out with a single conversation, lovely friends and no horrible bosses! The love triangle was mild and the second lead (If you can call her that) got the picture midway through the show. Even the backflashes to their childhood added something special to the show and was never anything I skipped. It was adorable!
All in all, FANTASTIC. And that's coming from me who watches about 3 Cdramas in a year and who complains bitterly if show has more than 24 episodes. This one has 29 and I loved each and every one of them!
Like I said - stop what you're doing and go watch this!
