A Charming Rom-Com About Fate, Love and Destiny.

The series is actually quite enjoyable, especially if you're a fan of classic rom-coms. It has all the right elements—lighthearted fun, romance, and a bit of drama. However, it does feel very reminiscent of True Beauty, from the character dynamics to the overall execution, which makes it less original.

I started watching because it was trending, and the premise intrigued me. The story is sweet, centered around the idea of changing the future while navigating fate and destiny—are the coincidences really just coincidences? At its core, it's about two people fighting for each other against the tragic events in their lives, which is quite touching.

This was my first time seeing Kim Hye Yoon in a lead role. Though she has appeared in other series I've watched, she never particularly stood out to me. She did a fine job, but her performance wasn’t especially memorable. Byeon Woo Seok, on the other hand, caught my attention. I had seen viral clips of him from Strong Girl Namsoon (which I haven’t watched), and I was curious to see if he had more to offer beyond his good looks. I think he does—his acting is solid, and with his rising popularity, I wouldn’t be surprised if he soon takes on more complex roles beyond the charming boyfriend or attractive villain.

Overall, I’d recommend this series. It’s light, fun, and an easy watch.
