Scripting Your Destiny

Refreshing drama of destiny

was very refreshing Drama and I loved it. The cast did a great job. It was about a group of Deity(gods) that write in journals that controls our destiny: who we meet, love, are we happy, sad etc.. It's the story of a girl named Go Chae Kyung aka Go eun seon who is a writer that goes under different aliases like Go spresso(given by Shin ho yoon) and Yang MI soon(her mom name) and is doing very well for herself. Her mom runs a coffee shop that's in her building and the new landlord is Shin ho Yoon who she buts head with. Now with a Deity if the show emotions like caring, hate, love etc they will be eliminated and anyone they interact with will loose there memories of this person. So as it goes on it seems that both Chae Kyung and ho Yoon have been fated 3-4times with each forgetting the other. Until they fight for there memories with penalties to pay on both sides. You really need to watch as there is so much more and worth it.

I personally liked this drama, however it also seemed too short for the concept. It's a beautiful drama to watch when you want to relax as it is short. I loved the concept of the Gods of Destiny and how they influence the human lives but I'd have loved to learn more about their world, it seemed as if everything was just brushed through as it was a short drama of just 10 episodes of an average of 25 minutes each. If their stories were shown more detailedly as a longer drama, I think this drama would have been better, especially the flashbacks, and the relationship between the Gods of Destiny, how their world works in depth, how they come to be and more. I personally feel this concept deserved a longer drama to do justice to it.

The cast may not have done an exceedingly great acting but it was still nice to see, they did well considering they haven't done in major roles previously or acted in many dramas. I kind of wish there would be a sequel or a remake of this drama but longer to provide for the in depth view of it!

I really liked this drama otherwise, some of the lines were very catchy and I loved the OST as well; in my opinion, it fit the drama and highlighted its vibe well! Like many viewers, I too found parallels to the drama Goblin, especially in the very first episode where the two Gods of Destiny had a scene wherein they walk in a tunnel which was very similar to the now infamous Goblin and Grim Reaper walk haha! Goblin was a rather hit for most part and I kind of feel this drama would be too if it would be presented better. On this note, I also feel that my dissatisfaction on this drama came with my high expectations, I read that it was written by Kim Eun Sook (writer of dramas- Goblin, Mr. Sunshine, DOTS, King: Eternal Monarch) and I looked forward to something that came with the same intensity if not better, it was only afterwards that I realised, the team consists of rookies and that's another reason why I think the drama did fairly well for that!

The story of Shin Ho Yoon and Go Che Kyung is bitter-sweet, with the play of 'fate' in the drama, that is something that you expect. The circumstances and world created by the writer puts the two characters in a hard situation, almost with a love that cannot be completely fulfilled. The drama ends with an open ending leaving it to the viewer to decide what happens next yet it's over a positive event. I also enjoyed the characters, Myung and Samshin and their stories, the story of Samshin is another story I'd have liked to know. There were moments in the drama where I felt like it lost a certain continuity, some of the scenes left without a proper closure and once again, I blame it to the short episodes.

Overall, I'd say it was "A bittersweet yet warm and lovely drama that you can watch in a few hours! If you love the fantasy-romance genre and are looking for a light drama, definitely try watching 'Scripting Your Destiny'."

Nice little story with a bit of a sad twist

I want to start off by saying that Jeong Sewoon - Time Machine is probably one of my most favourite osts. The song is just amazing

I started watching this as a filler whilst cooking but i ended up really enjoying it. I liked the storyline quite a lot and i wished it was a full length drama 16eps as it had the potential.

*SPOILER ahead*

My favourite part of the drama was the flashback moments of how they met and how every time it led to him being eliminated. I wished they showed more of that, more of the bond between them and perhaps what fate brought them together. i liked the part with the fortune-teller where she said to her mum she must change her name to avoid the fate. ANd i wished they showed more of her being in a weird state after he had been eliminated. But i understand that it is a short drama so they couldn't expand the storyline.

Overall, i enjoyed it. It was cute, funny and a bit sad if you think about their fate.

I honestly don't even know what happened or what was going on but it wasn't terrible? Like there was a point where there was so much going on and nothing going on all at the same time. It was kind of confusing but it made me laugh I think that's why I even gave this a chance. Plus it was a short one so it went by quickly, but geez. Lol. It really had so much going on and I don't know why I even watched it but also it was kind of cool and refreshing. It really is a show where some people may like it and some people may not so there's that; I don't regret watching it but I wouldn't do it again.

Worth a watch.

Since it's a short drama I'll give it 10/10 for everything. I think it's difficult to judge it comparing to standard length drama. So for a time limited length short drama it's really great.

It has a feel of goblin. Definitely understand what I mean from just episode 1. Also has reference to goblin too. I like that drama and I like this one too. This one is a really short drama where as goblin is full length. I think if you liked goblin which I think everyone who seen it does then you'll like this one too. The ending however just felt like end of a episode not really ending of drama. So it was a little strange how it ended just like that. Didn't even feel like it was the last episode last scene at all. If you do watch it you know what I mean. Korean drama don't usually do season 2 so I don't think there will ever be more. But overall great especially it's a short drama so no reason not to watch.

I’ll write my own destiny please!

I just finished the show and I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending. In many ways the show is predictable but it could be that I've watched a lot of movies and read a lot of books so I always have I sense about how things are gonna happen from the tiniest close early on.

And yet, the show still pulled me in. It was a very sweet and enjoyable show. Are usually like to watch the standard 16 hour show. But lately I've been getting into the shorter web series because I don't have a lot of time. And so far I have not been overly disappointed. Are usually like them and then move on.

But this one has wormed its way into my heart and I probably will watch it again maybe even tomorrow.

The storyline is nothing completely out of the ordinary and yet it has its own unique take on love and destiny. While there are subtle hints given throughout the various episodes they're careful not to give away everything. But if you pay close attention you'll probably figure things out for yourself.

I really enjoyed the acting of the main cast hung I've never seen in anything before. Go Chae Kyung remind me a lot about myself in some ways perhaps that's why I liked her character so much. However, I don't really know anyone like Shin Ho Yoo - but that might be a good thing as he is the God of destiny. I don't think I ever want to meet the person writing my story.

If you ever had a little bit of time and you just want to enjoy a fun no-frills story I highly recommend this one.

Good Enough

Korean Drama "Scripting Your Destiny" is a pretty good mini drama that handled the fantasy element well. Actually, the universe that the drama introduced was interesting, entertaining, with decent CGI and intriguing characters. The drama was also well written, with smooth twists and a sweet romance. The latter had a good pace, and the chemistry between the leads was a nice bonus too.

The performances were, in addition, great from everyone in the cast. The back and forth was also smoothly done. However, sometimes it got a bit off hand and complicated.

So, overall, eight out of ten.
