Not feeling the love and…
…not liking the “leave it to your imagination” ending.This drama dedicated 2 whole episodes for the ending after the villains were defeated so I thought we would get some nice happy vibes that some dramas have nowadays. But what I got was interesting bits which tied back to “A Moment But Forever” with cameo appearance & interesting dialogue, a mysterious black cat and an all too brief reunion that forces us to imagine their happy ending.
Lots of logic loopholes and I could not endear myself to the FL or the ML so it was just an average drama for me that looked pretty good but the story was a mixed bag of ups and downs.

Brilliant leads trapped in preachy, propaganda-laden nonsense
I can’t give this more than a 2/10, and honestly, those two points belong entirely to the lead actors. Ren Jialun and Wang Herun do an absolutely fantastic job with the garbage script they were handed. Their chemistry is great, the fight choreography in the early episodes is epic, and they genuinely try to elevate the material.Unfortunately, the story itself is an absolute farce. I was completely hooked by episode three when the female lead started kicking serious arse, but the narrative immediately collapses under the weight of heavy-handed, sugarcoated state propaganda. The moral messaging here is completely broken. We are forced to sit through infuriating levels of injustice, only for the male lead to let a despicable, traitorous tyrant of an Emperor off the hook just to preserve societal stability. It is insultingly preachy. Instead of a satisfying story driven by common human decency or earned justice, the script treats the audience like idiots. It uses lazy, industrialised tropes to drag out a bloated, frustrating plot just to meet an episode quota.
If you want a smart historical drama where actions have real consequences and bad people actually get punished, avoid this at all costs. Don't let the high production values or the great cast trick you into wasting 40 episodes on this formulaic, compliant nonsense.

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?
“The drama contains religiously offensive content in Episode 21. This is unacceptable.”
Stop to watch this drama because in 21 episode...In Episode 21 of Fate Chooses You, a scene was shown that visually resembles a sacred religious site and was presented in a way that offends religious sentiments.
Artistic expression should never come at the expense of religious sanctity. I urge the production team to issue a formal apology, remove or edit the scene, and clarify how it was approved without proper cultural or religious review.
Respect for all religions and cultures is a non-negotiable principle +first this my best drama but now I'm stop.
