Dropped Midway: Struggled with the Trajectory
This is a drop review—commentary on the first half of the season.I’m halfway through and have decided to stop here. I wanted to drop this sooner TBH, and I even skipped through episodes 19-20 to gage if the story picked up at all. Unfortunately, this just isn’t my cup of tea. For most of my watch, it has felt like there’s been a significant amount of filler. While the core story is interesting, some of the subplot choices make it seem as though the narrative is being paused and I would like to see more development.
I suspect this is intended to support character growth, and cement burgeoning relationships, but it doesn't land for me. And I've been struggling with the overall trajectory, even bringing it up on kisskh to see whether the drama might deviate from the novel. No one has responded to me so I am in limbo.
Basic premise in one sentence: The main character is pursuing freedom and strength in a specific way that is disclosed from the very beginning—so that isn't a spoiler. But from my perspective, I translate this to devolving—and that’s not something I enjoy watching. I know some viewers appreciate this kind of arc, but a bunch of us would prefer a different direction, and I fall into that camp. Ultimately, this drop comes down to personal preference—what I enjoy watching and how I prefer dramas to be portrayed and executed.

this is not a standalone it is a prequel
This definitely isn't a standalone drama; the story is a prequel to what happens in another Chinese drama released in 2025 called A Moment but Forever. In A Moment, but forever, the goddess Wushuang, who they keep mentioning in Fate, chooses you becomes the main character, and the male lead is the then-current head of the Yohou clan. It is definitely an interesting watch and not boring, but also not the best thing I have watched this year.Was this review helpful to you?
Fate Chooses You
Saya sudah menonton 10 episode ,secara keseluruhan saya suka dengan jalan ceritanya yang tidak bertele-tele ,akting para pemeran juga bagus,CGI bagus ,apalagi Ren jialun/ Lu qianqiao bahkan lewat mata dan ekspresi wajahnya bisa menyampaikan apa yang ada dalam pikirannya,wang herun meski ada beberapa scane ekspresinya kurang dapet tapi lainya okelah.Aku berharap drama ini bisa di sukai banyak orang dan sukses.Was this review helpful to you?
