I have always loved the plot of You Are My Destiny and could never really get sick of them despite watching them many times as each version has its own twist and way of adapting the story. In this case, the Japanese version is much more direct to the point with the story, the main focus of the story is with the couple and not much spotlight is given to the side characters, which I appreciate. The pacing compared to the other versions was also fast that it managed to cover almost everything except the ending which completely felt rushed. I have a feeling that this would have a season 2.. because it cannot just end the way it did!
Plot-wise, the story was great! The formula of the story might be cliche now but it still works! We love too see our cold male lead growing to be concerned with FL, and eventually realize his feelings towards her. I also liked the way it was well adapted to the Japanese culture, and not really copy the former adaptations. My only concern with the plot is that the scenes were going too fast that there was no room for other characters to fully develop and even assert themselves in the story like the second leads Hayato and Anna, where we did not get a chance to see their intentions and it was hard to relate to them. I sincerely hope there will be a S2 for this one or else its just too bad. I also wish that the romantic scenes for both the leads although there are some a bit placed here and there, were more, but with only ten episodes and 30 minutes each, I guess those would have to do.
Acting-wise, both lead actors did great with their roles. Kizu Takumi looked cool despite the ridiculous comedy parts in this show, he pulled it off really well. The chemistry was definitely there, we get to see it especially in the first few episodes, however towards the end (episodes 8-10) the whole show was just completely rushed so there was no chance for the actors to really give us much more.
The OST for this drama, although repeatedly played at the start and the end of each episode is really sweet, catchy, heart racing, and beautiful that it worked its magic for the show. I enjoyed the show more because of it!!
I was really planning on giving this one an 8.5 when I started watching, but now that I finished till the end it went down to 7.5 because of the disappointing ending. I have never seen a show end the way it did, without resolving the main conflict, proper farewell and confession that was as if the whole story build up went down the drain. I sincerely hope this would get a season 2 and redeem itself!!
