I could not tell you what this is about
I'm sure a lot of us have listened to a k-pop song where there is an English lyric that means absolutely nothing. This string of words does not combine to communicate any idea. An example is the NCT lyric, "Hot dog feel like I wear goose goose." That sentence means absolutely nothing. I have no clue what they are trying to tell me with this line, and I'm left bewildered by the songwriters.Destined with you is if that Super Junior lyric was actually a 16-episode Korean drama. At no point in this show did I understand the trajectory of the story, and it all just felt like things were happening for the sake of them happening. The show introduces us to an urban fantasy setting at first (LOVE), and then we learn that magic is not real (INTERESTING), and then we learn that it actually is real (HUH?), and by the end, we are left unsure whether or not any of the events in the show are magical or not. There were plenty of interesting ideas, but the show felt like it was having an identity crisis, unable to pick a genre and ultimately giving us the worst of both worlds. The love story was ridiculous and all over the place. The villains were nonsensical and never seemed to connect to the main characters. Overall, the plot (if you can even call it that) was a nothing sandwich that wasted all of the amazing set up from the first episode. The actors did a great job with their terrible script, but overall, the show collapsed under its own weight.

ROWOON con puppy behaviour si por favor
La historia tiene ciertos momentos que es un ¿que narices?, pero nos gusta por ver a Rowoon con puppy behaviour. La chica a veces me parecía demasiado tonta. Y la exnovia la odio. No me gusta como acaba la pelea con el CEO . 'Las compañeras de trabajo' me daban cringe y me caian mal. Y el padre tanto el alcalde como el del protagoista son idiotas, por un momento crei que la madre iba a tener algo con el mejor amigo....Trabajar para el ayuntamiento no es tan guay como te lo pintan en este dorama.

It's generic tbh
From the summary I thought I would be watching something different but sadly that was not the case.For the first half the FL was unbearable. Her characterization, her acting or her dialogues, everything was just off. The actress is a veteran actress so I don't know what happened there. ML carried the first half. Story had premise though so that kept me hooked.
For the second half, FL actually becomes a little bit likeable but then ML's characterization and story starts suffering. The majority of episodes revolve around nothing and there is no main story development. For me, story is the backbone of a drama. I could bear with bad acting, absent osts or lacking production but when the story or characterization starts suffering, its like the whole drama comes crumbling down. The second half, sadly, has a lot of filler content, plot inconsistencies and illogical decisions but the relationship development between ML and FL is good.
Thankfully, conclusion itself is done really well. Everything wraps up smoothly into a proper ending.
I think a lot of problems of this drama could've been solved with a shorter length. Right around the middle of the series, I think they ran out of ideas of what to do and they had to stretch the irrelevant sections to match the episode count.
Overall, it was not a bad watch. It had its moments but it did bore me quite a few times too. As I said before its generic, but definitely watchable.
7/10

Realmente entretenido, ve a verlo ya!!!
Empiezo por los actores.Rowoon lo hizo de maravilla! Que bárbaro este hermoso ser es demasiado talentoso.
Increíble química con Bo-ah.
Ella me gustó bastante!
Me pude identificar con su personaje desde el inicio, no sé por que la gente dice que no les gustó ella, a mi me pareció que ellos dos salvaron el drama!
Me llegó todo lo que sufrió la pobre, bullying por todo lado! Pero siempre siguió adelante con su sonrisa y amabilidad!
•Super recomendable este drama, muy muy disfrutable y entretenido, pero no se salva de tener ciertos detalles que no me terminaron de encantar:
••La trama del jefe de ella y las compañeras de trabajo, para que poner eso! Totalmente innecesario! Ellas solo la usaron para poner acercarse al ayudante del alcalde y todo esto para nada por qué el ni las topaba!
Ridícula situación, y ni hablar de los jefes, cada vez que salían solo quería que pasaran a la siguiente escena para no verlos más!
(pequeña opinión de este personaje, el ayudate del alcalde, Jae kyun, nunca me cayó bien, ¿como va a ser que de la nada le empezó a gustar Hong jo?, no le creí nada)
••El villano! Otro desperdicio! Sí, el señor ese estaba en el pasado y el presente, pero nunca explican como sabía hacer hechizos!
Desperdicio total del segundo libro, el de magia negra: hubiera sido tan interesante ver que alguien tomara ese libro y que desate un caos, ver más sobre esto!
Había tanto potencial en la fantasía, pero lo desaprovecharon por completo!
Y también en la vida pasada!
•• Y lo que más mal manejo tuvo fue lo del hechizo de amor!! Lo de la maldición está bien pero ese bendito hechizo nos echó a perder el slow burn romance!
Lo único que puede salvar un poco es que, si lo piensas bien, el personaje de Rowoon dice si mal no recuerdo en el episodio 14, que, la maldición fue anulada por que él estuvo muerto y fue cuando recordó más sobre su vida pasada.
Si la maldición ya no funciona, entonces esto aplica también para el hechizo imagino yo!!!!
Por que desde que él se tomó el agua, ya andaba como loquito por ella, esto no me terminó de gustar, se sentía medio raro, que él la buscara solo a causa del hechizo, por que se veía forzado.
Entonces es poco creíble cada vez que él le decía a ella algo romántico, hasta que pasa lo del episodio 14, ya desde ese momento cuando él le dice que la maldición fue anulada, para mí el hechizo también, entonces gracias a esto y a que él recordó todo de su vida pasada, ahora si se siente más sincero su amor hacia ella!
Pd: casi olvido a la ex de Shin-yu y de los papás(rowoon)
QUE PERSONAJE MÁS ODIOSO Y DETESTABLE el de esta chica. Nunca se sabe porqué le empieza a hacer bullying a Hong jo.
Y los papás de él, la mamá me pareció super adorable, pero porqué le dio otra oportunidad a una persona que siempre la trató mal? ( díganme loca, pero me hubiera gustado que terminara con el abogado amigo del hijo XD)

Tempo perso
Mi chiedo come possa aver avuto successo un drama mediocre come questo, adatto forse a un pubblico di adolescenti. OST tutt'altro che indimenticabile, trama lenta e noiosa a dir poco, una protagonista insulsa e stupida. L'attrice poi, che già mi dava l'urto con quella vocina nasale, non è stata valorizzata per nulla. Abbigliamento che sembrava provenisse dalla caritas, capelli orrendi nel colore e nel taglio, che la facevano sembrare un merluzzo. Di questo drama si salva solo il cast (lui attore favoloso che avevo già visto in Tomorrow) e quella po' di parte storica che comunque ha un sacco di falle. Le storie dei personaggi secondari erano noiose, pesanti e infantili. Tutta la trama e la relazione tra i protagonisti (che avevano una chimica come quella di due ciocchi di legno) è piena di contraddizioni e incongruenze.... tempo letteralmente buttato. Non lo consiglierei.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A química do casal principal é o que salva
É um pouco cansativo o inicio da relação do casal principal porque fica naquele vai não vai. Mas eles tem muita sinergia e química entre si, é o que salva esse dorama porque de resto não tem nada demais. Gosto da parte medieval da história, é outro ponto positivo. Mas não tem um grande destaque ou história que marque na memória. É pra ver uma vez e esquecer depois.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

A cute show wanting to be too many things?
I feel like basically every character on this show was dumb as hell!Not because they believe in past lives or magic, but they didn't even try actually investigate about the things that happened. For example. Hongjo cast a spell to heal Shinyu, but he never went to his doctor to check if the spell was actually working. They just accepted that his love for Hongjo is just magic, but later they found it was "meant to be", so this whole magic plot was basically meaningless. The whole plot was created to make them fall in love, but we never got any answer how they remember their past lives or if his love for her was actually real, or they just went with it.
Sadly, this was the main part of the story, so I can't give this more than 7/10, BUT overall, it's a good Kdrama with likable characters, but with lazy writing. In my opinion, the actors made this show better than it actually is.
The chemistry between Boah and Rowoon is top-notch, but their characters making the dumbest decisions every time. This is such a typical thriller/horror writing when the characters know someone is after them, yet they still don't want to call the police or remain in a safe space.
Also, the side characters, especially their co-workers were annoying, I mean, BIG TIME! The only good character was probably Shinyu's mother and his best friend.
What I didn't like is that they said, Hongjo doesn't have anyone, yet in episode 13, I think, we found it that her landlady is actually her mother's best friend? What the heck?
So, in short, I think this is a fun show, if you can forget all the mess that the writer did with the story. There's nothing special in this show, but I don't think it's a waste of time, but only because the actors did a great job!

Aucun intérêt pour moi
Je n'arrive pas à trouver un intérêt à ce truc. Même épuisée, en pleine nuit après avoir enchaîné les nuits blanches, je n'arrive pas à aller au bout. Il y a zéro scénario, rien n'a de sens, je me fiche d'absolument de tous les personnages et ce qui peut leur arriver, aucun n'est attachant, il y a zéro alchimie, la romance commence sur les pires bases et n'a aucun sens non plus. J'ai l'impression que l'écriture de ce projet est juste un bordel monstrueux sans véritable sens ou but. Personne n'avait vraiment de projet. Bref, vraiment, c'est une perte de temps absolument pour moi, donc j'arrête les frais.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Mixed
I usually avoid reading reviews until I finish. However, by E5 I had increasing doubts because the story felt a bit choppy and was losing me. So I checked out a few reviews and one mentioned it doesn't get good until E7! I pushed through to E7 and yes it gets 'better' but that's in part because of an increasing curiosity to find out whether the writing would improve.Key story points would pop up and then oddly characters wouldn't mention them until much later.
Anyway, I did find the characters and the story in the last five episodes engaging but was disappointed many rough edges weren't fixed before this went into production. I don't fault the actors or the production quality, but suspect the problem is with the script and likely the direction.

Se tem Rowoon no meio, eu tô junto! kkk
Se tem Rowoon, é claro que vou assistir! E sinceramente quem salvou o dorama foi ele. O enredo tem uma pegada legal, mas achei que no meio do caminho a história se perdeu demais.Eu ficava mesmo querendo ver mais um episódio só por conta da atuação dele (que é meu Oppa supremo), e como sempre foi espetacular. Achei que a Prota ficou apagada, na verdade achei ela meio sem sal, kkk. Faltou algo. Ele que além de me arrancar altas risadas, roubou toda a cena.
Esperava mais do dorama em si.

Not a bad drama
I'm glad I did not let the negative reviewed sway me into giving this drama a pass.It's a good time, even without alcohol (joking).
The story was ok, leads also, and it's an easy watch without too much angst because even if some cliffhangers are nicely done, you can guess not much will really happen and no one is in real danger.
The romance was ok and it was all due to the ML and FL chemistry.
Thinking back, I think the story was told wrong, the back and forth in time was not made at the right time (or in the right episodes) so you start to understand the vision a bit later (I would have liked them to set up the premise and everything right from episode 1). Spend more time in Joseon instead of filling with some below-average side plots that were useless if I'm honest.
Still a good watch, but no rewatch value
