The concept is 🤔.... and to use child actors to get that point across is for me still quite unnerving. They could have used a 20yr old ML acting like a highschooler and a slightly older FL if they want to stress that age gap concept you know. There's nothing wrong w/ using adults as actors acting in these type of themes but, yeah, I'm from the conservative population so Im still not used to seeing children being portrayed in this kind of concept. For the sake of creative freedom and artistic license, they could've just changed some of those crucial aspects, because there might be actual kids watching this drama and we all know how the absence of parental guidance affect how they view these themes and in real life. Right?? 🤔

After the 8th, I think I somehow understood the intention behind this drama. Some said, it destroyed the novel badly; I haven't read it but I love where the story is going. And probably the reason why ML did this project. I don't mind the romance but what I find interesting is the character of the ML. Virtues like humility, perseverance in the midst of suffering, patience, and his drive to excellence strike me the most. His humility just stands out. And saving mom is just an added bonus to the whole appeal of this drama for me.

Yes, I read online that it may have to do with the accent and also some also said it's like a certain standard in the sound of the dramas that they have to follow. I'm not sure, but that's what I've read.

I had the ost playlist in my Spotify everyday. That's how good the ost in this drama, right?😁

Same feeling. This is my 1st cdrama, and I had to reach ep4 before I got the hang of the voice. I realized after this, that cdramas are actually dubbed! Imagine my surprise.

The Legends by xu kai and Bai lu, is also somewhat similar in story> But you have to try modern cdramas too, they're equally beautiful. Start w/ "falling into your smile".

I haven't read the novel but this drama just keeps giving, in terms of it's plot. It's really getting better and better. I never thought I'll enjoy this.i also realized that Im thankful for my ancestors because I know people a long time ago have this kind of love. W/o it, I wouldn't be here in 2023, that's for sure. 😂

1st episode gave me avatar the last Airbender vibes. I don't know why. 😆 vfx and editing is neat. And xu kai does really well in his action scenes. Gulnezer's visuals is stunning. So far so good. I hope the story gets interesting

So far, destined is a great watch. I hope everything unfolds well and ends well for this drama coz it's gonna be a waste if it's not gonna end on high note. This is beautiful. And I hope it'll stay this way till the end.

Now this is one drama I wouldnt have thought I"ll watch right away after viewing the teaser out of curiosity. Perhaps I was even shocked at the amount of incredulous smiles I had while watching the romance that unfolds in this drama. If you are up for some truly unconventional kind of love story, then this is for you. The peculiarity of the ML character is what makes this drama charming and very fresh to seasoned romance drama viewers. Something you wouldn't see in a typical romance genre. Give this a go. The director really did a good job in making heart fluttering moments to an otherwise boring character. And the script is good too!

Unrestrained kiss?? 🤣

Omgeee can't wait for tomorrow for this!!! Watching Destined now and waiting for Kunning Palace w/ Bai lu! I don't know why I love all these period/costume dramas. Argh. It's going to be a busy month.

😊thank you!

What 3 apps are these? I have to dload asap! 😆

What app can I watch this?

Oh, I didn't know this. Thank you. 😉

I agree with that last part so much about doing things for the 2ML. But beyond that, I guess it's just her acting overall. It seemed unnatural. I find that great actors embody the personality and the expressions of the characters they play, that you'd think it's actually them. With feifei, it seemed forced. She should have more projects to practice more of her acting. Practice makes one better.

I think it's her acting. The Feifei character is normal for a drama. It's just that her acting for me seemed forced and unnatural that it comes off fake on-screen. Great actors act naturally . Like they embody their characters so well you would think it's them. For her, its different.

Given the finale, my alternative ending is that they would still breakup in the future. Qin Shi didn't change. Her fear of marriage is still there when they got back after divorce and 7month separation. Despite being given opportunities to grow, the character still didn't. Quite opposite with yang hua, whose love for her was enough to change him to a better man. So given that, it's bound to end in tragedy. And the most important point- they wouldn't get married at all. FL's marriage trauma stems from people around her and as long as she keeps seeing failed marriages in her lifetime, she just can't bring herself to be in one even if she loves the person. That's why it was Yang Hua who compromised. It wouldn't even last that long w/o his compromises. It's him who sacrificed a lot to bring that relationship to that point. The moment he 100% gives up, also ends it, and it's possible given the FL's character.

My perceived ending based on what is implied in the finale is down below as a spoiler. Ok. This is gonna be long and you 100% won't agree w/me on this but if you break up and see it in parts, you will see the beauty of this drama.
I give Xu Kai ❤️and the script a 10. The dialogues are well-written (though repetitive) and has plenty of quotable quotes that you can save for a lifetime. For the plot, it's a 6. This is a 40episode CDRAMA, so expect the pace to be reallyy slow (like god of wealth😆), and each scene to be very lengthy since a lot of the lines are repeated all too many times in different situations. Well, it's actually very repetitive. It can easily be reduced if we remove those repetitions. The story is a 10. The premise is good and interesting but it won't live up to your expectation. Cdramas aren't for binge watching, so don't even try or you'll die early. Remember, this is a DRAMA and a work of fiction, expect it to be as unrealistic as your mundane life. 😆
