How the heck could you invite that person to your wedding after what they did? I'm sorry but no.

The BEST Version of this Story
I've seen the Korean, Thai, Japanese and Chinese (this) version of this story and this is hands down the best one to me. The Japanese and Thai ones were ok, I just didn't care a whole lot for the characters. The Korean one wasn't too bad but I didn't care for the male lead.I almost felt like he was too old for her and I'm not sure why but he was giving me Willy Wonka vibes? It's been awhile since I've watched it so I don't know how to articulate that, but it makes sense to me. lol
Anyways, the Chinese casting is just superb. I absolutely adored the female lead and loved her little glow up. I felt real chemistry between them which I didn't really see in the Korean one. I also loved the casting for everyone else. His grandma was amazing, even the aunt and cousin when they inevitably come around.
Not to mention Dylan and Anna. I really despised Anna despite wanting to have sympathy for her, but that's the whole point, I suppose. This drama made me laugh and cry and just have so many emotions. I've already watched it twice.

so far
I know its only ep 4 but so far, its ok. I watched all versions (except Jap.) And my fave is the korean. Probably because they are older and it yook a real toll on them. Already this version is kiddish to me and playful.I mean, a women who had a boyfriemd, but wouldnt spend the night with him, gets drunk after consciously signing her own name to a marriage certificate and ends up sleeping with him. No f-ing way!
Then how come he didn't know it waa a real certificate - he spoke with the captain to set it up himself!
To all that says he cheated on his girlfriend - he didnt, she was his wife no matter how you put it, they were legally married.
I already an loosing interest bc i cant feel shit for this couple. They seem too young to know how begin handling it.
The korean version, the ml had a lot to protect with a marriage and an heir. The fl had a lot of self reflection to do. They both took it on in different ways causing the breakdown of trust and therefore their marriage (the miscarriage was the linchpin)
I just feel the korean version was more mature (bar them being drugged bc that made no sense).
Ill see how far i could get b4 i cant take anymore. Sorry but i already dislike the fl. Her acting is so stiff.

No se como sentirme con respecto a este drama
Hablando en términos muy generales me ha gustado, en especial la actuación de los actores, porque te sus expresiones y como llevan a la pantalla a los personajes te transmite diferentes emociones, de ahí a que hayamos sido capaces de odiar a Anna, amar a la abuela y etc.Pero si calificamos la historia como tal, tenia muchísimo mas potencial de el que nos han ofrecido.
Quitando los primeros 2 capítulos que yo no metería como parte de el comienzo de su amor, ya que a penas se estaban conociendo, han precisado de 18 capítulos para reconocer que se amaban, cosa a la que no me opongo ya que no dejas de amar a tu ex de 3 años bruscamente y la historia debía desarrollarse bien. Pero pasados esos 20 capítulos, todo se vuelve un poco desastroso, ya que como tal solo hemos tenido 3 capítulos y medio en los que se veía su amor, para luego darnos 12 capítulos de pura tristeza quitando los últimos 10-5 minutos del final que tampoco tenían tanto sentido (Que hace Anna, la persona que mas daño les ha hecho en esos 3 años, en la boda?)
Sinceramente considero que esos 12 capítulos estaban muy mal planteados, ya que todo lo triste podría haber ocurrido en 5-6 capítulos y los otros 6-7 capítulos que faltaban podrían haber sido su reconexión, boda... Y teniendo en cuenta que la historia principalmente giraba en torno a la idea de que iban a tener un hijo y lo encantados que estaban con ello, ha sido un total desperdicio no darles unas escenas extra en donde en el futuro tuvieran eso que tanto deseaban.
Si quieres verlo, te recomiendo que una vez acabes el capitulo 24 directamente pases al 36, no te pierdes absolutamente nada
------------------------------------------------------------ENGLISH VERSION--------------------------------------------------------
In general, I enjoyed it, particularly the actors' performances. Their expressions and portrayal brought the characters to life, allowing us to feel a range of emotions—from despising Anna to adoring the grandmother. However, the story itself had waay more potential.
Excluding the initial 2 chapters, which were more about the characters getting acquainted than falling in love, it took 18 chapters for them to realize their love. This gradual development made sense, considering one doesn't quickly get over a three-year relationship. Yet, past the 20 th chapter, the narrative took a turn for the worse. We were only treated to three and a half chapters of their romance before being plunged into 12 chapters of sorrow, excep the last 5-10 minutes, culminating in a confusing finale (Why was Anna, the person that hurt them the most, at their wedding?).
Those 12 chapters seemed poorly planned. The sadness could have been shortened into 5-6 chapters, leaving room for 6-7 chapters on their reconciliation and wedding. And given that the story centered around the idea of them having a baby and their excitement for that child, the lack of future scenes with their little Ximi felt like a missed opportunity.
For those considering watching it, my advice is to skip from chapter 24 directly to 36 , you won't be missing out on anything crucial.

Quand la karma frappe vite et fort
J'avais regardé la série coréenne en essayant d'y trouver de l'intérêt, la version taïwanais m'a rebutée dès le départ, la version japonaise avait l'avantage d'être courte et efficace, mais je crois qu'au final j'apprécie davantage la version chinoise pour deux raisons:- la narratologie du vilain petit canard qui devient cygne puis une fois reine des cygne se bat avec Odile le cygne noir a été bien exploité.
- Odile a réussi à séparer Siegfried et Odette mais a été immédiatement frappée par le karma. Elle a tué l'enfant d'une autre, elle n'en aura jamais.
Ouf! Les C-dramas vont enfin sortir du syndrome de Cendrillon/ Stockolm ? Champagne!

Insipida e piatta rivisitazione di una serie di successo
Adattamento non ben riuscito del memorabile "Fated to love you", drama coreano di una decina di anni fa.La trama a grandi linee è la stessa, ma con quasi il doppio degli episodi (e la noia che, di conseguenza, incalza).
Recitazione appena sufficiente, sceneggiatura fiacca, scarsa capacità di emozionare. La severità di questo giudizio è probabilmente influenzata dal paragone con l'altro drama - paradossalmente ho preferito la protagonista di questo, rispetto all'altra che proprio non soffrivo - ma in "Fated to love you" la colonna portante era l'attore protagonista, Jang Hyuk, professionista poliedrico e originale, capace di dare vita a personaggi unici e indimenticabili, oltre a bucare lo schermo dal punto di vista delle emozioni.
Con alle spalle un predecessore di tale successo, il nuovo "You are my destiny" non può che apparire come un'insipida minestra riscaldata. Il consiglio quindi è: guardate la versione coreana e dimenticatevi di questa.
