I agree with your first point. Three years into C-drama, if I’m not attracted (intelligence and/or looks), I…
I have been watching dramas for about 13 years so yeah, I am always looking for something different too. It is getting harder to find unique dramas when I have watched thousand of dramas in the past decade.

It is getting better. But if you like good-looking idols, this drama is not for you.
His looks were not the main reason for me to drop this. I don’t like his personality and I do not find romantic a young lady with an older man that has many wives and kids. Yikes

Also, I don’t watch dramas based on the ML’s looks, I care more about the plot, acting and if the main leads have chemistry.

I do believe the plot might have gotten better and I might give it a second chance after it finishes airing if most comments are positive.

But yeah, there were only a few dramas I was able to watch where the ML was already married. Although I know it was common back then for a man to marry more than one woman, I have hard time rooting for the main leads when there is a 3rd person, in this case there are many. ^^'

The synopsis made it seem interesting enough but it was nothing like I expected. I pushed through and was trying not to drop it since I hate dropping dramas but I just couldn’t.

I watched a few episodes and here are some of the reasons why I am dropping it:

- ML is not attractive (be it his looks or personality), has several wives and at least one son;
- FL and the SML are the punching bags for everyone to punch in their free time;
- The plot feels old and gets too dramatic in just the few episodes I watched, like a drama I would have watched back in 2010;
- The subs are pretty bad starting on episode 4 and that was the last straw for me. I cannot stand bad subs.

his mistake was long time ago.. he has apologised back then.. so what more people want from him? just coz of one…
This is not HIS page, this is a page about his works. I am free to comment whatever I want as long as I follow MDL’s rules.

Also, as I have said several times, I do not hate him, so I am able to watch him on screen, just not him playing ML in a romance or playing a nice character. If he plays the villain in a drama that has an interesting plot, I will probably watch it.

About the year, maybe the article I read was recent but the interviews were old, not sure, so I won’t argue with you about that. But people do not change easily, so even if he is more careful with his words now, does not mean he does not still think the same way.

Anyway, like I said, we all have similar thoughts at some point in our lives, his mistake was verbalizing them, in an interview, like it was no big deal. Apologizing does not make mistakes go away. It does not change the fact that he said those things.

Plus, I never said I hated him, that he should be canceled or anything like that. I just said that, personally, I would not be able to watch a romance where he plays the ML because his image was ruined to me, I cannot look at him the same way.

I am pretty sure he repeated the same "mistake" recently. I know of at least 2 separate interviews, years apart, where he said similar things.

I am not saying he needs to vanish from the industry, it is not like he comitted a crime, just that I will not be able to watch him in a romantic comedy or playing the nice guy when I know what he is really like. He can play the villain in dramas, just not the male lead.

Btw, I used quotes for the word mistake cause it was not a mistake, they were his true thoughts. If he thinks that of regular people, how do you think he sees people of different races or with disabilities? Everyone judges people by their looks but we know not to say some things not only because we know those thoughts are wrong but out of respect for other people.

Just as he judges people by their looks, I can judge him for being small-minded.

If there's Cheng Yi, then there's going to be angst. Boy's destined to be in pain all the time in dramas.
True. Maybe the actor likes playing these kinds of roles so he can show off how beautiful he looks when he cries. xD

Whoever wrote the plot was able to do the following:
- make it unique yet full of clichés
- make the main leads be together most of the drama yet make the progress of their relationship almost non-existant
- send almost every character to the hospital (the male lead might as well haved moved there and changed his home address to the hospital’s)
- give the supporting characters the ending that should have been reserved for the main leads
- and the list goes on.

I get the feeling we as viewers were made fun of the whole time we were watching. From what I have read about the novel, they literally sucked the fun out of the story.
I wish I could get back the time I wasted watching this, it just wasn’t worth it.

It subbed on VIU
No idea. It has been 2 years since I watched it. If you cannot find it, wait for fluffshi to answer since he/she was the one who told me to check telegram 2 years ago.

Ahhh mano, a Globo devia comprar os direitos e fazer uma versao br desse dorama, com um humor mais escrachado…

I might have gotten the episodes from telegram or watched in my native language, so I don’t have a link that I can share. Sorry.

I skimmed through it since it was not really my cup of tea but I think where I watched all episodes were subbed, I am just trying to recall where I watched it since I did not add the link to my notes. ^^'

I wanted to watch this, hope one day goes to viki because i can't with mangotv subs. 🙁
If you scroll down you can find a comment I left 2 months ago for the Viki request form. If a lot of people fill the form requesting this drama there is a higher chance of Viki picking it.

It was definitely slow moving/slice of life style that was biographical of the FL… yet, somehow I could not…
Yeah, I read about in in another comment.

Some dramas have specials, but honestly, I think it makes more sense to give a drama a proper ending than adding an extra episode that would not be needed if they just wrapped up things nicely.
Replying to ClaudiaDramaLover Oct 14, 2023
well so you are biased towards the Female lead not the character itself since you talked about her previous works…
Yeah, I have nothing bad to say about her acting, maybe she was on a bad streak with the dramas she picked. I agree that Rowoon’s character was also not written well, it was just that it was more noticeable with the FL. The actors did gread, it was more of a writting issue. But, yeah, hopefully she will be on some great dramas next.

I also wanted to know what happened which is why I finished it but I wish they made it more interesting. I was also not satisfied with the ending, after watching for so many hours I think we deserved more than that.

I would not say I am biased (at least I wasn’t until now) or I would not have kept watching as soon I saw the actress. After this drama, I am starting to get the feeling that the actress does not pick great dramas. I liked some of her dramas but did not love any of them, like something was missing from the plot. So I guess I was not biased before but might be from now on after watching so many dramas that were ok but not great.

But yeah, what really bothered me was not the actress, it was the character. For a 2023 drama the way her character was written left much to be desired. The way the FL behaved and a lot of her decisions made me question her intelligence or why the ML even fell for her, spells and curses aside. I just wish her character was better written, she is the FL after all. It is hard to explain but it was just the way I felt. She also wasn’t the only character that could have been written better, but oh well.

Overall, it was still a good drama, I rated it 7 which for me means a drama I might re-watch. 9 is the higher rating I have given a drama and only 6 out of thousands I have watched got this rating. ^^'

No problem. I like discussing dramas I enjoyed and this was definitely one of those.

They were not really his targets, just his toys. He met Ma Tae Wa abroad and decided he wanted to "mentor" him, in other words make him feel all powerful when in reality Dex was pulling all the strings.

Dex enjoyed caos and manipulating other people into causing caos was fun to him. Once he was done playing with them or they became people who could bring him down, he got rid of them. He killed the father to give the son a false sense of control and then killed the son when he became arrogant and also because he did not need him anymore. He kept him alive just long enough to bring the ML into his trap.

I believe that he might have wanted to "mentor" Seol too, he was even willing to die for it, that is how insane he is. Turning someone who used her hands to save lives into someone who takes lives would be the ultimate prize to him.
On Destined with You Oct 12, 2023
First few episodes were interesting then it felt like it was plotless then near the end it recovered. Rowoon carried this on his back. The FL was so badly written.

The actress has played the FL on some high rated dramas but for some reason I personally have rated all those (the ones I watched) below average - 7 or under. This one was probably the one I rated highest and I rated it 7. I might have to start avoiding the dramas where she plays the FL. ^^'
