Good vibes, 2nd season please!

This show was funny, eventful, and very interesting with full of suprises. The actors did a great a job and their characters were very special and memorable. I enjoyed every minutes of the production, thanks to the special sense of humor and the twists. There are some unanswered questions in my mind after i watched it, but on the whole i liked it so much!!! I will missing it!!
The ending was correct and the story is closed, nevertheless, I still hope for a second season. New location, new adventures, another case to solve, and the unfolding of romantic threads so - so many funny and interesting situations could arise. There are still plenty of fantasy in this story and these characters.
The music was amazing and was always well suited to the actual scenes!!
I hope for a second season because the story has a lot of potential, to be of the same quality as the first season.

Watch it for Rowoon's visuals

Destined With You is okay, but I have a few issues with it. My biggest complaint is why the second female lead has to be an insufferable, cartoonish villain. Similar to 'She Would Never Know', the second female lead has to be the villain of the story to make the audience admire the female lead. Why deprive the audience of a serious moral conundrum? I think the drama would be a little better if Na-yeon (Yura) were a likable character.

It is easy to pair Shin-yu (Rowoon) with Hong-jo (Jo Bo-ah), not because of the destiny thing they tried to pull, but mostly because the other alternative is a horrible human being, a bully. I also feel that Jae-kyung's (Ha Jun) character is underutilized. The saving grace of this show is of course Rowoon and its cinematography and the beautiful scenery. Even though it is sometimes heavily edited, it still gives the show an ethereal feel.

All in all, it's not that bad.

Do you think you can travel back in time to change everything?

At first read the synopsis written when the Girl went into the novel and become villain. I was reluctant to watch it.
Luckily I click and watch it because of the Wang Xin Yue, I watch him first time at "One and Only" (almost of his series I watch.) I do like him. I was shock "Lin Yun Rui" was in this series. Hahaha

Anyway, the plot is totally amaze me. At first, I thought the Female Lead (Hua Qian) was really travel back in time and try to change her fate so she did not do same mistakes. But after rewatch, it is totally different.

She was actually in coma state and those were actually her wishes and her dreams.
NO, NO, NO.
She did not travel back in time, she did not change her past fate, what happen is already happen.
The second change that she has is to change her current fate. (*Nice ....)

And the best is, She thought the 2 cousins (Zhong Xi Wu and Zhong Ye Lan) were in love with Mu Yao.
But actually Zhong Xi Wu was already love her secretly since beginning and he save her many time.
He dare not to confess his feeling because he know that HQ in love with ZYL.
She will wake up from her coma and let go everything about ZYL then he (ZXW) dare to confess to HQ.

I would like to see how the plot goes till end..

Love it love it love it.. what a twist...

Prince really is the Prince of this series

While this series can draw comparisons between Tale of a Thousand Stars, honestly, leave your opinions behind because this series isn't as dramatic as TTS, but is just as romantic.

Also if you've watched Star and Sky: Star in My Mind, then definitely watch this because this series is just as romantic.
Daonuea and Khabkluen also make occasional appearances in this series.


•❅✧❅✦ Story •❅✧❅✦

A spin off from Star and Sky: Star in My Mind, Daonuea's older brother Kuafah arrives at a remote village in the mountains with his two friends after the three of them get into a drunken car accident on the way home from Kuafah's ex's wedding, as portrayed in the original series. The three are sent to the village to do community service as Kuafah is a doctor and the village is in need of a doctor. At the village they meet Prince, who is working there as a volunteer teacher. At first, Kuafah and Prince don't get along as their personalities clash. Kuafah is more impulsive and a disorganized with his life, while Prince is rational and orderly. While they hate each other at first, as they live in the same small village, they end up getting to know one another.

Honestly Prince and Kuafah have a very romantic storyline. It's very beautiful and straightforward. Their storyline isn't overly dramatic, but rather two people who spend lots of time together falling in love. I honestly found all of the shenanigans Kuafah and his friends bring to the series to be hilarious and poor Prince is always the one to walk into it.


Kuafah x Prince

Kuafah and Prince have a very healthy relationship. They fall in love naturally rather than through some very dramatic methods. They always though of each other as good looking, but annoying. However, after spending time together and seeing different sides of each other they fall in love. The way they fell in love felt very mature and realistic, unlike lots of other series out there.

The best part of the series has to be Prince. He actually is the one who seems to be carrying the series. I'm not saying that the other's are not good, but Kuafah's character is a little to stereotypical and less memorable compared to Prince. Throughout the series, I kept wondering about Prince and why he acts a certain way, or why he does certain things. Even though Kuafah is the primary protagonist, Prince had more of my interest than Kuafah. I don't want to be the one to point fingers, but I have noticed that Mek, the actor who portrays Kuafah, always tends to get outshined by his acting partners when he is the male lead. That doesn't mean he is a bad actor, as he does have lead actor qualities, However, unfortunately Mark, who plays prince, definitely carried the series. I hope to see Mark in more series, however, with a new partner who can push his acting abilities further.


•❅✧❅✦ Tale of a Thousand Stars vs Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart •❅✧❅✦

I know there is going to be comparisons, so let's get it out of the way.

At a glance the scenarios are similar, two guys are stuck in the mountains. One guys is more adapted to the mountains, while another is a city boy. One is a volunteer teacher. They have different personalities that clash. They fall in love.

Yes, at a glance the storyline is similar. However, if you take a step back and watch this series without comparing it, you'll find that it's a very different story. Think of it as high school/college based romances. How many high school/ college based romance series involve the popular kid and the nerd? Do you compare all of them together? Probably not.

TTS is more dramatic and very unrealistic. It's everyone's soulmate fantasy. On the other hand, Sky in Your Heart is a little more realistic, and is very light-hearted. Both series are amazing in their own right and shouldn't be compared with each other. Of course TTS is going to have more of an impact as it came first and is more dramatic. But Sky in Your Heart is just as romantic, just with a little less drama... and less episodes.

Please watch both series as they both are great!


•❅✧❅✦ Overall •❅✧❅✦

This series is beautiful and romantic. It's something to watch then you don't want to watch series that are dramatic and complicated. The straight forward and lighthearted romance is beautiful. And Prince is also a feast for your eyes.

TO THE POINT!!

This drama is so To The Point. This is what dramas should be like. where can i find more dramas like this? T-T also., why does this not have any reviews?? (guess im the lucky one to be writing the first, lol) So going back to the drama, The drama ooof, ...Its so good that I cant find out any single flaws here. well, maybe there ArE but idk they were unnoticable to me. Soooo, You should watch this drama cuz it has:

No complicated storyline
No love triangles
No jealous SFL/SML
No sad ending
No useless quarrels between ML FL & misunderstandings
No complicated court shit
A SuPeR hawt, badass, attractive & sometimes cute looking ML (he made me a simp bro)
cute FL
Excellent visuals, settings, costumes, makeup & camera quality
& Finally, No reason for you to not watch :DD

By any chance if you stumbled upon this drama, DONT SKIP. Its actually VERY GOOD for a short drama. It takes like 2hr or so to finish this & i would totally love to rewatch this anytime soon. The rewatch value is 8/10 for me. The story is repetitive & not that unheard of so. i would give it a 7. As for the acting/casting, im not the one to judge but for me its a 10. & the music too, i really liked it. Its so sweet and calming to my ears..

moving further, I want the ML to be recognized more man, He has so much potential to be bigger & do greater projects. Imo, He fits the baddie roles sooo gooood. Even though, hes not potrayed as Thaaaaat baddie here in this drama..He gives off such baddie vibes maan,,I would love to see him as a badass character in upcoming future. & coming to fl now.. The fl did a good job with her role. She should get more opportunities to roam in different genres and characters in future. Also not neglecting the side characters & other guest roles, they also performed their roles to their fullest aswell.

Sooo, in short, The drama is very nice. The characters execute their roles perfectly & the storyline and eps are very simple to follow. Its good to watch when you are free and have nothing else to do. Basically, VERY MUCH RECOMMENDED FOR YALL to watch when you feel like you have nothing to watch.

A Romantic Story with Couple Goals!!

If you're looking for a series that has lots of romance with less dramatic moments, this is the series for you.
It's really a feel good drama that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside after finishing the series.
I think we all need a lover like Khabkluen or Daonuea after watching this series.


•❅✧❅✦ Story •❅✧❅✦

Daonuea has been crushing on Khabkluen since freshman year in highschool. However, it's a one-sided love on his end as Khabkluen has a girlfriend he is very committed to. After leaving to study abroad for his senior year of highscool, he returns to Thailand to start college. On the first day of the Star and Moon Competition Practice, Doanuea is reunited with Khabkluen. Daonuea hasn't really gotten over his crush, but has to room with Khabkluen during the duration of the competition. As they room together, Daonuea and Khabkluen start to getting closer together. Khabkluen is and has always been the epitome of kindness, that Daonuea can't stop his feelings even though he knows Khabkluen has a girlfriend... Or does he?

One of the best things about this series is the "Will they? Won't they?" tug of war that Daonuea and Khabkluen have throughout the series. It's not so dramatic and unrealistic that sometimes you end up shouting "Just kiss already!" at the screen. It's a light-hearted and romantic series, so there isn't any frustration while watching. Just pure romance.


•❅✧❅✦ Characters •❅✧❅✦

Daonuea x Khabkluen

Daonuea is you typical normal guy. He's adorable and funny. There isn't anything really special about him aside from his undying loyalty to Khabkluen, so there isn't much to comment on him aside from gushing over his cuteness.

However, Khabkluen, on the otherhand, is a little more stereotypical with the hot and kind popular kid troupe going for him. He also falls into the anti-social, can't really saying my feelings well, troupe that the male leads tend to have. However, something that makes Khabkluen different from the others is his his undying loyalty to Daonuea before and after their love confession. Also, his personality isn't as masculine as you would expect those types of leads to be. You can really see Khabkluen's real self after he starts dating Daonuea and I love the 180 shift in how he acts around Daonuea and other people.

On a side note, the actors who protray Daonuea and Khabkluen have so much chemistry. If someone told me they were a real couple, I wouldn't be surprised. Nothing looked fake or awkward. These two need to have more acting work, be it together or separate, because they are really great actors. I honestly would like to see them do something more dramatic just because I really think they are amazing and really need the opportunity to prove themselves as great actors.


•❅✧❅✦ Overall •❅✧❅✦

The series was amazing. I feel in love with Daonuea and Khabkluen from episode one and I never got bored as the series progressed. If you are looking for a drama-filled series, this probably isn't for you. But if you are looking for a feel-good romantic series then this is a must watch!

Iljimae (2008) - Lee Jun Ki, Park Shi Hoo and HAN HYO JOO - ok the cast itself speakes volume already of what is to come.

My time and effort in watching this drama was not wasted. I didn't like historical dramas before and for sure I just watch this one because of the cast. But I did started opening my heart for historical dramas because of this one as well. The story is well written considering that it's not really romance-centric but more on the Melo plus thriller/action genre which I also like. Iljimae may be a 2008 drama, but one of the best historical dramas that is still worth watching even up this time.

A real-life legend who created a martial arts guild in Joseon Dynasty. His group that defends the King is fighting against a mysterious organization of assassins who plot to kill the King...

We got all wonderful friendships, bromance, brotherhood and painful rivalry. A lot of sword fights between enemies and comrades who has just silently sitting next to each other. The acting were so moving and beautiful! All the kid actors enchanted me in less than 4 episodes and I wanted to see their journeys. Also their teen actors, all of them portrayed their characters very well and distinct. It has a stunning choreography and epic OST. The politics are quite confusing and complicated, but I ignored it and focused on the characters and their bonds, it works!

Despite my strong praises, there are shortcomings which actually bothered me throughout, plot is quite messy with a lot of unrealistic twists, with long drags in the middle. (SPOILER!) At a point I lost interest when there’s a twist that really diminish the relevance of the leads, and this infuriated me, why they end up to be so unimportant to the story? So I wasn’t enjoying watching the last quarter episodes and finish it just for the goodwill for the characters, as I really loved them in the beginning of the drama.

one of the most classic school kdramas ever

This is the classic of all classics for me and one of the first kdramas that got me into kdrama world back in the days! from cringe acting to predictable plot filled with school drama, with all its disadvantages it’s understandably bad and weird, but also very addicting.

If you’re watching it for the first time in 2023 and expecting much of it - it’s gonna be a disappointment, for 2013 tho it was a typical type of show and it rly has a teen fanfiction vibe of those time lol

This kdrama is not to be taken seriously imo, so I love rewatching, it really brings u back in time 🥹

Coffee Prince (2007) - this one is aired in our local network GMA that is why I was not that hooked with this drama when it aired on TV since I find the dubbing horrible.

I did watched the Korean version of this one since almost all recommended this drama. Eventually it has a different editing than what is what I usually see in other dramas, I find the pacing so hard to understand. I find it hard to connect the storyline since there are somewhat missing parts, which is the style of the editing of this drama.

The drama is cute, fun and light hearted. Yoon Eun Hye did really great as someone pretending to be a guy, I acknowledged that.

Witch Yoo Hee (2007) - the one that started it all. My highschool heart can’t get enough of this drama. This drama, based on my memory is probably the first drama that I watched constantly/as much as possible in tagalog dubbed version. I remember laughing and smiling while watching this, as well as butterflies. The second male lead is sooooo handsome, but I remember that I really root for the main lead here. Having fond memories of this when I was still about 14 or 15 years old, I watched it again when I was in college about 18 or 19 years old. Always have that smile on my face and the romance never faded. It’s one of the dramas that I have had a good time.
