Destiny? More like Delusion in HD.
I picked up this drama expecting breezy fluff—idol drama comfort food with pretty faces and maybe a love triangle tossed in for flavor. What I got instead was a grim, hypocritical mess wrapped in pastel posters and trauma bait. It’s like the show lured me in with soft lighting and then slammed me with a brick labeled “cheap suffering.” The tonal bait-and-switch isn’t just jarring—it’s ethically exhausting.
By the 30% mark, the female lead had already been sexually assaulted by multiple people. And just when you think the script might offer her a lifeline, her so-called savior turns out to be another predator—only this time, he’s the male lead, so apparently it’s fine? The show’s logic is nonexistent, its morality thinner than rice paper, and the romance is just a parade of red flags shot in slow motion. It’s not “destiny”—it’s delusion dressed up as fate.
The mixed messaging gave me emotional whiplash. One moment it’s trauma, the next it’s swoon, like the writers couldn’t decide if they were making a PSA or a fantasy. I dropped it before my brain cells filed for emotional compensation
