Fate & Destiny are dancing together in this epic story of love and memory......



Since the beginning of episode 1, the cinematography has already been captivating and alluring. It made me keep wanting to watch it continuously. Especially when Shin Hye Sun (SHS) character was reminiscing her previous lives. Every previous lives she described was like a fairy tale and able to bring the audience to dwell into an imaginary world (well to me it is).

This is no ordinary love story where man chases woman but it was the opposite, where the woman diligently chases the man as he was her first love in her previous life. The drama managed to lead the audience on her persistence in love and very convincing as well.

SHS acting was top notch. She delivered each of her characters well (let it be her telling her previous lives or her current one). I especially love her acting when she was trying to remember her 1st live (clenching to the shaman bells) and remembered that a character name Han-Ya killed her sister (though she realized that she remembered it wrong in the end). When she said to Seo-Ha (Ahn Bo Hyun’s character) “Han-Ya, you killed my sister, I’m going to kill you” woah… her facial expression was beyond rage. The way she changes her facial expression through the emotion that she felt through her memories was beyond great acting. She really did her best here. I can feel her rage, despair, devastation and desperation just for this particular scene (which I rarely feel while watching). The best scene for me in this drama.

Ahn Bo Hyun (ABH) acting was great as well. His diversity exceeded my expectation. ABH mostly played tough characters, strong willed, a bit rough and action packed scenes. But in this drama he showed his soft side, his eyes, facial expressions, demeanor are on point. Would love to see him in this kind of character more.
I like how the writer build his character in this drama. I didn’t read the webtoon so didn’t have much expectation but I like his character, who are able to overcome his trauma and be a better person.

I like Cho Won a lot, this character has a very bubbly personality and fun to watch her clumsiness. Ha Yoon Kung (HYK) portrayed her character well. In SHS 1st live, HYK portrayed as her older sister, she has a different persona here than being Cho Won, can immediately tell the diversity here.

As well as Ahn Dong Goo (ADG) character (Ha Do Yoon). I love his loyalty but his indecisiveness about his feeling to Cho Won really frustrating but again.. Ban Ji Eum is the true matchmaker that she is helped him to realized it before too late.
I love how the writer create a happy ending for both Cho Won and Do Yoon.

Ae Kyung (Cha Chung Hwa) has the biggest heart in this drama. She welcome Ban Ji Eum with an open arms. Raised her selflessly without expecting anything in returns.

Overall, the actresses and actors portrayed their character well. The castings were top notch. I wouldn’t imagine other actors playing in this drama.

This by far one of the best drama I watched this year. I will definitely rewatch in the future. There was no boring parts in every episodes I watch instead I keep wanting to watch it.

The ending was the best for me, the role reversal was unexpected yet it gave a great closure to the drama. Many would say it was still an open ending but for me, it brings closure and is a done deal happy ending.
The way Ban Ji Em called “Seo Ha ya” will stay within my memory for a while (I like the way she call him out) :D
The OST songs are good as well. I love most of the songs in this drama. Have a listen to the song title "Star" by Colde. I love the lyrics so much.

Don’t hesitate to watch this drama. Its alluring and captivating. Both the story and cinematography were beyond expectation.
Hope many will enjoy this drama as much as I did.
Happy watching ^^
