I had an inkling short dramas like that are not my thing, but you never know unless you try right? I tried, and I was bored to death. I could have followed my gut feeling, but as a person who enjoys scientific method, I rather test it.

Rainkissed Fate is pure entertainment with no depth, no logic, lots of abs and kisses. Sadly the lack of substance is what made me want to fall asleep. I’m one of the people who needs to care for the characters to enjoy the drama, and I could not care less for leads here. Bu Yan was honestly awful and immoral. The whole premise of her wanting to get pregnant just to use her new kid as spare parts for the one she already had grossed me out so much I did not exactly wish her well… oops.

I don’t really have much to say about He Yu Chen, kind of gave me nothing, but the abs. I know, I know - this is why we watch these dramas. But it’s just not enough for me. Abs and shower scenes should be the cherry on top of the dessert, not the whole meal.

The chemistry was amazing, that’s a fact. The kissing scenes were great. The few slapping scenes were even better (I love a good slap in a drama). The villain was dumb, but entertaining in a frustrating way.

Honestly, the most fun part of the drama was how they kept referring to kickboxing as boxing. And saying male lead is a boxer, as he fly kicks his opponents in the ring. That’s the true entertainment of this title. I found this mistake in naming especially funny, because the writer actually got a few medical aspects right - half assing the research? One would think finding out you cannot in fact kick in boxing would be easier than the details of leukemia treatment.

No thoughts on acting, this is not a show that is carried by the acting. It’s a show that’s carried by the abs and kisses.

Overall, glad I watched even if I did not enjoy it. This is just truly not my genre.
