Just watch it!!
It was nothing like what I had expected it to be. I thought it was a normal boring story about office workers but NOO!!! It is too good to be true.The story is top notch and I promise you, you won't ever regret watching it. In a few scenes, I felt I was present in the drama due to their immersive acting. This drama made me feel single in many ways but I loved it!!!!! I really enjoyed watching this drama, it will make you laugh, cry and enjoy in every way possible,
This drama you never knew you needed in your life but this would be surely on my list of drama recommendations for new watchers.

Superb Drama. Definitely worth the watch.
Excellent drama. Simply gets better and better each episode. Perfect ending for the story and the chemistry between the actors was outstanding. The story goes smoothly to flashbacks. Don't rush it because it is definitely worth completing. A simple feel good romance plot. Ignore the negative reviews and go for it. :)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Great start. Lost me with the cheating.
The first half of Destined With You was great. It was funny and I was enjoying the fantasy element as well as the creepy bloody hand. In fact, I started to miss it later.My biggest issue was that the ML despite having a girlfriend, kisses the FL. This was clearly a red flag for me so much so that I was angry with the character for a good few episodes and couldn't enjoy the story.
The other issue I had was that by the end, it isn't completely clear if anyone was acting under the power of the love spell or not because of the twist. I'm not sure why they made it seem so confusing. That's a plot hole.
Third biggest problem I had with the show is the father being verbally abusive to the mother as well as negligent towards her needs and the writers made them patch up after teasing a caring younger guy as a potential love interest. There was one more female character that was divorced and found love. Not sure why ML's mother didn't deserve better as well? Is it because they didn't want her to find love with a younger man? The father was so horrible towards the FL as well. All the more the mom should be with a nicer man. This is the second such drama that disappointed me in this regard. First being Doctor Cha.
I still have a few doubts related to the story. Towards the end, I decided to speed it up because the story was moving a bit too slowly.
The best thing about this drama was the SML. I wish FL had ended up with him. He was a really decent guy. FL and ML's chemistry was nice except for the weird cheating aspect. SFL was stunning but unbearable. Acting wise, everyone did great. It was the story that let me down in the second half.
The OST of the drama is beautiful.
I would say the first half of the drama is a lot more fun than the second half. It's not a bad drama but it could have been better with a bit of tweaking.

Disappointed?
Myb I’m being too harsh, but it was very good in the beginning. I really like a lot of the actors, esp the main cast. But its… boring? after 5ish eps.I ended up having to skip around the last 4 eps bc I’d had enough lol. If the series was 10 eps, it would have been a lot better imo. There was just too much ~Nothing~
And boy did I dislike ALL of the chars by the end T___T The only ones I actually liked were ML’s mom and Kim Wook.
But definitely give it a try!! You never know.

Salirte de un bloqueo
Gracias a este drama he vuelto a vivir esas emociones del principio. Hacía tiempo que no veía un Kdrama que me recordara a mis inicios, aquellos que te enganchaban y lograban enamorarte de los personajes. Son los típicos que aunque tenga algunas escenas que den "cringe", al menos en mi opinión, igual lo amé.Es de esas series para desconectarte y verlos en épocas de bloqueos, en mi caso ha sido idóneo empezarlo desde su emisión hasta el final.
Muy recomendable para quienes aman las comedias románticas y esos momentos dramáticos que me recordaron a los Kdramas de antes.

Main leads were so cute
I love watching how Rowoon grows up and I'm already looking forward to what he has preparing next. From the beginning, it bothered me that the make-up artist overdid it with his make-up. It seemed so artificial to me. And yet the series started so super dramatic and mysterious. Later, the plot of the series overtook my focus on his shiny flawless skin and I stopped researching him so much. The height difference between the main actors cannot be overlooked. I believe they had a lot of fun because of it, too. The female lead is not exactly my type, but she had a surprisingly positive effect on me in serious and especially dramatic (historical) scenes. There was great chemistry between Jo Bo-ah and Rowoon, and the funny moments were so cute. I must also mention that I was pleased with the secondary characters. Favorites from Forecast: Love and Weather and He is psychometric. An interesting combo that nicely diversified the series. They could have improved the soundtrack a bit. I love soundtracks and I wasn't impressed here.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Il drama non è malvagio e alcuni punti soprattutto vicino alla parte finale (che cosa assurda) mi sono piaciuti davvero molto. Le pecche in questo drama sono davvero tante, in primis i tanti buchi di trama, cose letteralmente lasciate al caso e ad alcune "piccolezze" non si hanno nemmeno delle risposte. Alcune sottotrame un po' ci sono, un po' spariscono, a volte riappaiono.. E' tutto così e la prima parte è decisamente molla rispetto alla seconda. Alla fine la storia d'amore tra i due protagonisti mi è piaciuta, ma avrei voluto che le cose interessanti fossero meglio spalmate lungo tutta la durata nel drama e non all'ultimo. Se solitamente i kdrama annoiano verso la fine, questo fa tutto il contrario compromettendo quella fetta di pubblico che grazie alla noia sceglie di abbandonarne la visione.
A me non è dispiaciuto, ma non è questo gran affare.

too long and too boring
I am a fan of ro woon and impartial to jo boah cuz they are both good actors and they did do an okay job.however the drama was just so long and boring and they filled in useless amount of information and plot holes which made zero sense.
it's actually a waste of time drama that did nothing for me to invoke emotions sympathize with suyi or even really get into the whole "destined" part.
this was a max 10 episode drama that could have been done with much better writing. anyone debating to watch this because they don't have time and want to watch something good, skip this one

excellente série
C'est une série qui monte en puissance au fil des épisodes ! Le seul moins bien ce sont les collègues de bureau de l'actrice principale, j'ai zappé la plupart des scènes. Sinon tout le reste est top, Rowoon évidement, Ha joon et Jo Bo Ah également. Les épisodes 14 à 16 sont juste énormes ! A la fois visuellement, mais aussi pour l'intrigue.Le 14 peut être vu et revu tellement c'est joli et bien fait.
Le triangle amoureux est très bien construit, et les acteurs très crédibles. Le développement de l'alchimie entre les 2 acteurs principaux est bien amené.

Disappointing storyline
I don’t know how to start this honestlyI was super excited when I heard rowon and boah would be the main leads for this drama and thus I had expectations
When the teaser started to release I thought it might be a bit cliche but I thought let’s wait until it’s out and yeah it’s cliche
The storyline is basically solely focused on the fantasy aspect that we have seen plenty of times before and it’s nothing new
The only interesting part about this was the fantasy story line besides that the romance and characters barely was interesting
I didn’t see a point of it being 16 episodes instead of 12 cause the only thing the drama had it going for was the fantasy aspect and that nothing else
The overall story was okay but I wouldn’t say I would rewatch it cause nothing interested me to the point of me wanting to
The romance was messy I guess an attempt at making some drama in hoping that it would keep the viewers interested instead just made me question it
The characters were annoying the most annoying characters I have ever watched in a kdrama so far
The female lead is just she was just annoying and because of the writing I hated her everytime she was on screen I couldn’t even focus cause the writing of her character made me dislike her so much
And I can say that for the male lead as well
And her colleagues are annoying so bad that I wanted to slap them and her team leader
One thing I have to say is that the relationship between these characters really had a lot of inconsistency I mean they go from hating her then friends? And the way they done that is just so bad there was so many gaps
Overall this drama was just not my cup of tea which was a shame cause I really was excited for a rowon and boah pairing but the writing ruined it
And I hope that they would get casted together again in another better drama and this whole enemies to lovers wasn’t even enemies to lovers it was just badly done

okay but not awesome
I've lost track on how often the plot changed. Sometimes it felt like I was watching a different drama and had to make sure it's still this one ?? the first episodes were promising and I kinda felt the chemistry between the ML and FL. the music is nice and so are the special effects. It was okay but not that awesome as expected. the actors did a good job but the plot was meh. maybe the story could have been just 8 short episodes and would have been better instead of 16 with fillers.wouldn't watch again.

A Spellbound Drama: Intriguing Premise, Disappointing Execution
The premise of the story was quite intriguing, featuring two characters bound by a centuries-old curse or spell and their journey to overcome it. With two attractive and talented actors leading the cast, what could go wrong? Unfortunately, the same old issue arises: the script. Who approved it?It seems the writer struggled to decide on the direction of this drama, or perhaps aimed to challenge herself by blending horror/mystery, fantasy, office romance/comedy, and thriller elements. While it's perfectly fine to mix genres, doing so poorly can lead to a confusing, repetitive, and disjointed story, which is precisely what happens here.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the story, which explored the centuries-old curse and the main female lead's discovery of the spell books. While I do enjoy office romance, the excessive focus on her bullying colleagues detracted from the narrative and ventured into unnecessary territory. Additionally, the obsessive killer, who doesn't seamlessly integrate into the story, oddly becomes the central plot. The inclusion of bizarre side couples, such as her female boss with her bully supervisor and his mother with his best friend, further added to the confusion. In short, it's a mess.
One saving grace is Rowoon's visual appeal. He looks great in suits and portrayed a lovesick puppy convincingly. However, I feel sorry for Jo Bo Ah. Who was her stylist for this drama? Her hair color doesn't match her skin tone and washes her out completely. Her character is also way too weak and foolish, but I do enjoy the chemistry between her character and Rowoon. Truthfully, that's the only reason I stuck with the show until the end.
Final thoughts: The drama has an interesting plot, but sadly, the writing and execution didn't meet expectations. It is watchable, but don't have high expectations.
