Yeah. My initial reaction was, oh they're playing house already on ep12, 😆 that was a cute scene.

Oh yeah! Your patience will reward you on ep11

😄same here. Destined was a surprise. I didn't know it would be that beautiful.

Even if a drama is 😕. If xu kai is in it, it's a 10 right away for me 🤣 🤣 🤣

I love the budding romance part though 😂

Thanks for pointing it out. I love dissenting opinions too. 😁 My concern only stems from not getting used to the idea of literally using children in dramas to drive the point of age gap romances. Adults can do that when they become adults, but kids shouldn't be exposed to dramas where other kids their age are engaged in this type of relationships. It's like society giving them permission to do just that because they saw it on tv. Yk. I also believe, that as adults, we are responsible in shaping their perspectives in the type of relationships they'll have for themselves in adulthood. The kind of exposure we give them is also part of shaping that. Tv is like a mirror in real life. It doesn't have to be real, but it feels like it when we watch it. I admit, in some cases, it's like that for me 😆That's my point being. 😁

😂 glad I did now. Nazha is truly beautiful. They look soooo great together on-screen. Aghh

It might be true for some culture since it's still being practiced eg betrothal and underage marriage, but being in 2023 and that children are already being protected by laws from such relationships must also be upheld by our society as a means to protect and safeguard their rights to fully live according to their basic human right. Though it's just a drama, in my opinion though, it may bring certain repercussions to their understanding of romantic relationships. Yes, the world is evolving, I just hope though, that this type of romance is something we should as a society wouldn't come into terms with. 😢

I absolutely praise the director for the camera work and angle shots of nazha and kai. I didnt feel the chemistry through the characters initially, but men, the direction made up for it. It's one thing for leads to have that chemistry themselves but when the scene calls for the right atmosphere for romance, it's all in the director to make it happen. And episode 12 just screams that! 😆. I've said in my previous post I don't mind the romance part, but yeah, I've now changed my mind. Hahahaha.

The worst cgi for me that I can still remember in my entire adult life is the deer in The Walking Dead. Lol. That blunder is so huge it's totally unforgettable. 😆 So the cgi in SEL is fine with me.

In kdramas?!? 🤯 oh no. That can't be true. That means I haven't watched much kdramas in my life yet. 🤔 I would rather not watch those. 😭I'd rather stick to my swoon-worthy romance dramas and daydream about them all day long.

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.
