A strong Female Lead escapes the Censorship Axe
This review will be Short, Sweet, and straight to the point,Just Like the Drama.
How do I describe Destined to Meet You, a drama I binged in one sitting? Let’s just say:
1. Good things come in small packages,think Tiffany rings and this drama.
2. Every now and then, C-drama writers seem to wake up, remember that weed is illegal ,creativity exists, and deliver something fresh, funny, and completely un-tropey. This is one of those rare gems.There was not a dull moment,the pace was perfect that a problem would be solved in one episode.
3. I may need Botox to fix the smile lines this show gave me because all those punchlines hit hard and a cold shower to recover from their chemistry.
4. The female lead? A revelation. She’s smart, bold, straightforward, and badass,basically everything the censorship bureau usually edits out. Somehow, she made it through untouched and ate without leaving crumbs.
5. If you’re in the mood for something quick, witty, with no angst or annoying side characters..this is your weekend binge. Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded 24 full episodes.
Famous quote by FL to ML:"Am asking you to help me bear a baby,no matter how talented I am,I can't do it by myself"(Viki translation)
Fun note: I called it the Chinese version of "When Life gives you tangerines" ..those who will watch will understand 😂
Important Passwords:
Director Zeng Wing Jie
Screenwriter Zhao Lin
These two must have connections in the higher-ups cos the "good things" they gets away with
