Kisses, Chemistry, and Unstoppable Love: Why "My Fated Boy" is the Sweetest Romance You'll Watch
Ngl, My Fated Boy was such a joy to watch, especially the romance between Lin Yang and Lu Zheng An. Yeah, the whole older woman and younger guy thing is a pretty common trope in dramas, but this one just hit differently. The way they portrayed it made it feel fresh and genuine, and I was totally invested in their relationship from the start.The FL, Lin Yang, is in her 30s and has all these real-life struggles—work, family, finding love again—while the ML, Lu Zheng An, is this sweet, younger guy who has adored her since they were kids. Their connection was pure, and the way he saw her as his treasure made every moment between them feel special. There were a lot of kissing scenes, and I have to say, it wasn’t over the top but rather, like, a natural extension of their love for each other. I found myself rooting for them every step of the way.
Even the love triangle didn’t bug me like it usually does in other dramas. It wasn’t one of those annoying situations where you just want to skip through it. Instead, it added depth to their story, making the moments where Lin Yang and Zheng An found their way back to each other even sweeter.
Honestly, the chemistry between the leads was off the charts. Watching Zheng An’s steady devotion, how he treated Lin Yang like she was the most precious person in the world, made my heart melt. The way he was so determined to make her see that age doesn’t matter when it comes to love? Ugh, it was just beautiful.
Overall, My Fated Boy took a familiar plot and made it something memorable. If you're into romantic dramas with lots of heartfelt moments, plenty of kisses (lol), and a sweet but mature love story, this is a must-watch. It leaves you with all the feels!
If you love pure, feel-good romance with great chemistry and a heart-warming story about finding love at the right time (no matter the age gap), this drama is perfect for you.

SWEET SWEET SWEET LUV!!!
Amazing acting from both main FL & ML! Their chemistry is so natural and comfortable to watch throughout the entire drama. Luv every episodes start off about their cute childhood memories then it goes back into their current lives. Not to mention, l like the supporting casts such as their friends and Ma Le that always bring humor and can be quite talkative at times. Music OSTs all great to listen and I find myself replaying them without getting bored. Nice storyline, smooth pace. Really recommend this cdrama to anyone who interested in older woman/younger man romance theme & plus steamy kisses.Was this review helpful to you?
Nice combination of tropes done right
This drama is nothing special but sweet, fluffy and has a whole bunch of good old drama cliches keeping you just a little bit nervus done mostly right.There is one character that is annoying but she grows allot during the drama making all the scenes bearable to watch and not a single itch to skip, big + for that. The show , shows a nice level of character growth and has one of c-dramalands sweetest thrupple sisterhood. The female lead is pretty smart when it comes to all but her emotions. The male lead is as warm as hot cup of coco, he may be a tad persistent but overall he is pretty good at not forcing himself on the female lead.
So all in all pretty sweet and fluffy and definitely has the potential to fulfill all your fluffy needs.

Great plot and realistic.
Omg! Love this C- Drama. Tbh i think this is the best I have watched!!! No cliche and cringey scenes! Both the leads have great chemistry together!!!!The ML is sooo cuteee while the FL is sooo beautiful!!! I like the FL’s character. Not like the typical stupid and naive FL. Strong, independent and logical! Very worth to watch… this drama gave me lots of life lessons. I can relate with this drama as day by day I’m growing older haha.
There are lots of intimate scenes but yet very sweet to watch.
The only thing that I dislike is i guess some scenes it is too long? Like they edited the scenes to be longer than it should.
Overall, you should really watch it guys!!!

This is how you do a drama! So many cute and sweet moments both as a kid and as a couple!The leads grew up together! female lead Lin Yang is 7 years older than the male lead lu zhen an. Their parents are best friend and said that they could get married when they get older! Each drama starts out with a flashback of when they are a kid! They are absolutely so cute! Many mischievous time together. Lu zhen an has had a crush on Lin Yang. Lin Yang goes through her life without much passion. He suddenly comes back into her life, changing her lifestyle. They start to fall in love!
When they get together, its very cute! they make such a cute couple! full of chemistry and passion. Dang each kiss is like heart flutters!

A beautiful thoughtful April September romance tale- Unmissable!
Dont miss this unmistakable gem. Here is a list of what went right with My Fated Boy- Sensitive writing with a lot of depth
- Great character development
-Heartwarming scenes linking to the past when the ML and FL were childhood playmates
- Non cliched treatment of the problems of a noona romance. Loved that they did not shy away from the discussions that being older she would age faster and may even die first.
-Super-loved the fact that she is his first sexual partner.
- The supporting actors and their stories all tying in with the theme of nurturing love.
- Every character tried to become better version of themselves. Its as if when faced with a seemingly impossible but intense love between the ML and the FL, each character felt the need to find in themselves understanding, warmth and maturity. It wasnt as if they brushed the age difference under the carpet but accepted it genuinely and tried to protect the difficult relationship.
- Superb chemistry between the FL and ML. His eagerness and heart on sleeve attitude and her reserve born out of past disappointments-- so wonderfully portrayed. I dont think I will ever forget him crying to his father that he wants to protect her but feels useless because she is so capable. Such real fears.
I think 2021 marks the year when C-dramas came of age and started producing real and timeless stories that sit well with audience in non-Chinese speaking areas. And my Fated Boy will arguably occupy one of the top spots.

Such a Gem!
An independent woman and the younger man who’s loved her all his life…possibly even before birth. Will she ever see him as more than the son of her parents’ best friends?The ML is just… adorable & swoon worthy! He never falters in his pursuit of the FL. He doesn’t give up when she shies away out of fear, he doesn’t get swayed by others’ opinions. He adjusts to her pace when he realizes he’s being too much, too soon. He never hesitates to put love rivals firmly in their place, leaving no room for misunderstandings. His choice is her - always, forever. She’s his ultimate - his BAE 💞
And his goodness wins him a love to be envied by everyone around.
When the FL allows herself to follow her heart into his arms, they’re a duo that can overcome anything life throws their way. They’re both strong on their own, but together, they’re unbreakable. 🫠
If you haven’t watched this yet, I definitely recommend it if you’re wanting a sweet love story without any drama trauma. Also, the OST is really good - looooove when the ML “sings” 😍

Truly enjoy with everything!
Hello fellow watchers! I just finish watching this drama. I start with little expectations because at first I just watch it for the sake of "no breakup near the end" "no love triangle" and "no misunderstanding", but this drama really exceed my expectations.[Before that, my writing include some spoiler, but before the spoiler part, I will put "*spoiler*" so you can just skip the spoiler part if you don't want to be spoiled!]
I like almost everything about this drama! So here is my list of what I like and dislike about it!
What I LIKE :
1) healthy relationship
By what I mean with healthy relationship is, they started with imperfect couple who gone through a lot of problems and is willing to learn from it. Somehow, some drama managed to show us the "healthy relationship" because they doesn't really have a problem with each other (which is almost impossible irl). But in this drama, the couple went a lot of trouble (mainly because the ml is a public figure) but still going strong. Their relationship is honestly so matured and sweet! You will enjoy every single moment of them!
2) different background of women.
This drama show us what a woman need to go through in their life. Of course it is not the same with everyone. In this drama, they show the struggle of a single mother, a full-time wife, unmarried woman in her 30s, a young woman who chase her crush, a 40s mother and so on. I'm a girl, so while watching this drama, I always wondered, which of these characters will I relate to the most.
3) the childhood story at the beginning of the drama.
It is so cute<33333 it does not take to much time and really cute!!! You will always find yourself giggle at their cuteness.
4) character development.
Almost every character have the character development and I love it especially *spoiler* Li Tian. Goshhh this girl is so annoying at first (thanks to her cute face, I don't really hate her at that time). She keep chase An An like a crazy fan. But An An always straightforward with her and she eventually accept it and slowly change into a better person <333
5) Lovely side character.
Okay where do I start? The family? FL best friend? Their boss? ML coworkers? FL boss's wife? The sister at the cafe they frequently go?
Most of them are reallyyyyyyyyyy great!
*Spoiler* of course there are some that annoying, but they won't last long😏.
6) the emotion
I laugh and cry like crazy. Oh and I usually cried in some rom-com drama because of how stupid the main cp act (like literally stupid!). But in this drama, I cried because it is beautiful. It is really relatable at some part. You can call it tears of joy<333 and of course I laugh because it's funny.
What I DISLIKE :
1) 2-close-person-like-same-girl trope.
*Spoiler* An An and his cousin like yang yang and this make them kinda fight against each other? BUT, in the end they are good again, so don't worry they don't actually hate each other. You won't really feel their distance.
I think that's all what I like and dislike. Hope this help you in making decision. Btw, you can easily watch this at youtube "youku english".
I truly enjoy this drama and if you decide to watch it, I hope you get the same feeling!
Bye!

The unexpected golden drama you're looking for
Almost dropped this drama for the confusing first 20 minutes, but I'm glad I gave it another chance. The quality of this show is top-notch, they didn't drag the plot lines at all, they didn't overdo the romantic sweetness so every scene was naturally cute, every character was different and has an impact on the storyline.The first thing you'll realize about this Drama is the amazing chemistry between the two leads. It's funny to say, but I was actually impressed with the fist hugging scene the leads had and think to myself "that is such a great and fitting hug". Yes, I love every single hug they did in this show. I was not familiar with both of the two main actors, yet I find them instantly great as CP.
Plot-wise, it has your average recipe of contemporary dramas, childhood friendships, living together, a love triangle, and a more successful male lead. But what's great is that the scriptwriter did a very good job making these cliches tropes to be very natural, every romantic scene doesn't have that "added sweetener" to it, has no cringey "breakup before ending" plots and the character was made believable as everyday ppl you see. Also, this show has a great second plots couple or side story that doesn't take too much time and actually has an influence on the main story.
So character-wise, they made the leading lady far from your "innocent and too nice almost dumb" type of figure. Her lines always have great comebacks, and male leads showed great development as they undergo the relationship.

A really nice drama, which highlights the strength of love, friendship, family, kindness
A really nice drama, which highlights the strength of love, friendship, family, kindness. The actors do a great job, create a real alchemy.Finally a Chinese drama that shows a lot of real kisses, hugs, realistic behaviors within the lead couple!
The context is deeply rooted in Chinese culture (hard work, only child, respect for elders, place of women and strong discrimination between men and women, particularly in the professional but also personal context).
This story is positive, feel-good, without length, and all the women will be moved by the ML, handsome, tenacious, attentive and ready to do anything to protect his wifei.

Follow your heart, be brave in love
That’s the message I got from this drama, along with many others about the value of love, friendship, family and sticking together through it all.I’m writing this review after a rewatch, going through my drama lists and seeing this drama I gave a 9.5 rating. I couldn’t even remember what happened, but I was wondering why I gave it such a high rating so I went in for it.
I felt so peaceful watching this drama, maybe because of the lack of toxicity, the loyal friendships, beautiful familial relationships, supportive work environment, healthy relationships, personal growth and development of every single character in the drama.
so yea, I felt at peace watching this drama and I hope you do to. I’ve increased my rating because truly everything about this drama is worth watching.
