Can’t believe that out of all the airing dramas this is the one I’ve been enjoying the most. I mean, a protagonist that can swipe through memories by touching butts?! 🥲 Kudos to the BYT team.
This is really good so far! Don’t let the premise scare you away. It’s silly, yes, but extremely well directed. The mystery and the comedy elements are enjoyable. I also like that it’s not a Seoul-based narrative – it is a breath of fresh air.
I enjoyed the humor and ensemble cast in NLB but BJT didn't have that interesting or big of a role in it. And…
I actually liked the FL in New Life Begins but imo her character did feel a bit too righteous at times. The main couple was not my favorite part of the drama. Destined is shaping up to be the better one out of the two indeed :)
Oh, would you have any recommendations of completed works that are similar to Destined? I am not too familiar with Chinese dramas yet. What I do know is that the wait for new episodes is too much 🥲
Wu Lei and Zhou Yutong are such natural actors they make this a superb watch! I find myself cheering for Sanchuan and Youan in every step of the way. REALLY loving the chemistry.
Call it ludicrous all you want, but it’s damn addicting. So much shenanigans and plot twists from start to finish you are left baffled but never bored.
It was okay. Nice pacing. REALLY liked the casting and performance of Ayane, Chizu, Sanada and Pin’s actors—they were the highlights of the show for me. As for Kuronuma and Kazehaya, I guess Miura Hamura and Tabe Mikako were just way too good in the 2010 movie for me to get over them 😭 As someone who read the manga and watched the anime, they were perfectly cast! The looks, the performances, the chemistry, everything was really good. Don’t get me wrong, I think the new actors from this adaptation are fine enough. They just do not make me feel so much as Miura and Tabe did in the same roles. I think that’s about it 😊
I seriously hope this lives up to the hype. I like the actors, but I LOVE some of the previous works of both the screenwriter and the director.
Also, aren’t Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee at their best when they play gritty, non-stereotypical goody two shoes characters? I hope we get to see that.
You Are My Glory set the bar for romance dramas way too high 😭 Everything was perfect. A lot of shows are enjoyable and everything, but almost all of them pale in comparison to YAMG.
Wow... Ojakgyo Brothers was my first Korean drama. This is one of those moments you realize you will never be able to properly log ALL of the shows you have watched lol I always end up finding new ones I thought I had already added to my list.

I remember shipping Uee and Joo Won so much...
