EDITED:
I'm sorry. I have to give this 10/10. Despite it having flaws, the one point I deducted were made up by the fact, that I watched Bright Girl first, and to see the evolution in their chemistry (we might never see this pairing together again...weeps) made this drama extra special for me, and one I won't be likely to forget. I can see myself rewatching this 10 years from now, and still being swept in a great (er) wave of sentimentality.

I am well aware that Fated To Love You may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is one of my favourite KDrama, the first one I ever watched and probably the one I'm most attached to.I already watched it twice and, upon second viewing, I was surprised to find many, many funny moments I didn't remember at first.
It can be a be a bit (voluntarily) over the top sometimes, but the truth is that this show has many qualities: a solid plot, amazing acting, two perfect leads (Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara have an incredible chemistry) and comedy and drama are very well balanced.
Last but not least, the score is beautiful, especially "Destino"... it breaks my heart.

I held of watching this drama for so long bcoz a) the taiwan version was awesome n b)I saw a small clip and was not at all impressed by the lead pair... had I gone with my superficial insticts that wud have been my biggest mistake ever!
The sign of a good drama is how it can play with ur emotions.... and this drama does it so well. Humour in Kdramas is expected by in this drama...especially the first few episode I rolled in laughter.
And this drama made me cry so much, my headphone muffs became soggy :(
Very well plotted not perfect, there were some loopholes but I loved it.
Only once they resolve their issues, the last four episodes became a bit of a drag. The only time I skipped scenes infact.
The chemistry is brilliant and the lead pair and all casting is perfect.... the lead pair share a brilliant rapport and yes...this show has some of the cutest and hottest kissing scenes!
Worth a watch :)

These 20 hours and 20 episodes has been a bumpy ride. There is just a ton of emotions. I would split up this move into 2 parts, first part is before Kim Mi-young went to France and part 2 is after when she came back from France. Part 1 was Kim really "weak" and annoying because it became just too much of the "weak" Kim. Part 2 Kim she was really a b*tch, I was like "why can't you see that Gunnie loves you?" the whole time. I feel like I didn't enjoy part 2 as much as part 1. The whole story had a happy ending but I feel like that this story could had better ending than what we got. Dog poopie being born could had been the ending because we got more connection to it than the twins we saw in the final episode. Esta resenha foi útil para você?
A drama that will stir a sense of romance in even the most hardhearted fool
I started this drama once before and dropped it after the first episode, because I thought it was just too over-the-top to ever take seriously as a real romance. Eventually, I became a fan of Jang Hyuk's from watching other dramas, so I decided to give it another shot. And I realized very quickly that I had done myself a great disservice by skipping over this wonderful love story!*Plot*
This drama is a great example of classic clichés done well. There really isn't any trope in this show that breaks new ground regarding plot. But I've been let down before by romances, and this one finally delivered everything we want from cohabitation, chaebol ML, sweet FL, and all the rest! There were a lot of silly coincidences to drive the plot along, which one could roll their eyes at, but I choose to see it as part of the overarching theme of "fated lovers." Of course they are always running into each other, it's destiny! ;)
I admit there were some plot choices that I very much disliked (the only reason I didn't rate this a nine or a ten). Yet, I can't decide whether or not, if I had a magic wand, I would change them. Nothing was throwaway, it all fit into the main story. Like most dramas I watch, it's more about how the characters execute the plot than the plot quality itself, anyway. Which brings me to the meat of this review...
*Acting*
The acting in this drama is what elevates it from a typical romcom to a must-see. Main and side characters alike are simply a delight to watch. I'm going to dwell on this for almost the entirety of this review.
Our main couple, Lee Gun and Kim Mi-Yeong, are played by Jang Hyuk and Jang Na-Ra. These two are so perfect in their roles, your heart will burst with emotion. Ah, what a corny thing for me to say. But if that's how I felt, I cannot stay silent!
Jang Hyuk plays Lee Gun, the eccentric president of a large company. And when I say eccentric, I'm not talking about the quirkiness that screenwriters often inject into MLs to try to give them personality. I am telling you that this man is straight-up weird and takes some getting used to. Strange mannerisms, at times odd vernacular, and, oh yeah, let's not forget the old "he he hE HE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" in almost every situation. This is why, if you are a bit put off during the series premiere, you absolutely need to watch at least one more before making a decision. I promise, Gunnie is worth it. He is charming, funny, handsome, gallant, and passionate. But he is not that perfect, boringly nice ML that makes me fall asleep. He has a lot of baggage, and he doesn't always handle it properly. His growth throughout the drama feels very real and gratifying. Jang Hyuk plays this character with equal amounts of dorkiness and sexiness, and it's exactly right. Several episodes in, that maniacal laugh ceased to be disturbing and became deeply endearing. And I cannot tell a lie: it does not hurt that Jang Hyuk is one of the most good-looking men I've seen in my life. I could stare at him all day. What? We were all thinking it.
So let's talk about Kim Mi-Yeong, as played by the wonderful Jang Na-Ra. We've all seen the FL who is naive, sweet, hard-working, a pushover, bla bla bla. Is Mi-Yeong these things? Yes...but in such a way that creates a real person and does not feel contrived. She is very tender to the needs of everyone around her, and it is not annoying at all. I could easily imagine any man falling in love with her gentle ways. Her smile is loving to everyone she meets, and her lovely eyes have earnestness that never falters. Many dramas have tried to create a character like this, but few have succeeded to this level. And her growth arc is so good! I was worried that she would lose that warmhearted spirit as she gains confidence, but that never happened. She found her way into her own skin as a woman, but always held onto that grace and vulnerability. There were a lot of moments that broke my heart in this drama, but the only time I genuinely cried with tears streaming down my face was a scene that had her in it alone. Jang Na-Ra knew exactly who this person is and how she needed to convey her feelings (or hold them in at times).
And the two of them together? Fireworks! Electricity! DAEBAK!!! It may seem odd to call this romance a slow burn when it literally starts with a one night stand, but once you watch it, you'll get it. You will feel their desire for each other, which they try to stave off, on a very palpable level. You know, those kinds of moments when you have to pause the episode and go do a few chores just to keep your head on straight. I can't be the only one who does that, right? Someone please tell me I'm not alone there. So when those romantic moments happen, they feel very earned. And this is not a fish kiss drama, I will tell you that much.
Ahem. Okay, side characters. My favorite of the supporting roles was Na Young-Hee as Mi-Yeong's mom, by a mile. I thought she'd just be your typical drama ahjumma, walloping people and calling names. She does indeed wallop everyone and call them all sorts of rotten names, but her heart is pure and very full of love. The other actors played their roles well and made me smile, but this eomma was just shining.
If anyone bored me, it was the second leads, Daniel Pitt & Se Ra. But that could just be that their characters were written to not tug your heartstrings too much. They each had their own backstory that was separate from the main storyline, but I couldn't find it in my heart to care about them. I sound awful saying that. Please forgive me.
*OST*
Great music. Standout tracks would definitely be "Goodbye My Love" by Ailee and "Destiny Sonata" by Jung Dongha. Their voices are somehow both sweet and powerful, which perfectly conveys the feelings of yearning and true love.
*Rewatchability*
I think I'll stray from other fans of this show and say that I can't see myself watching FtLY again. I got so very invested in their romance that the several agonizing crises they faced were almost too much to bear. I probably will be more likely to go look up clips of the best scenes sometimes. I will be satisfied with all the happy moments in my memory.
Wow, did you read all that? Thank you, friend! If you did, my guess is that you are already a fan of this show and looking for someone who agrees. If you have not started it yet, I'm even more thankful that you took time to read my opinion. Now, I will tell you your fate: it is to watch Fated to Love You, starting today!

Weirdly wonderful
A lesson in good directing (Kim Hee Won) of how to take a somewhat obnoxious, yet romantic wealthy male lead and pair him with a mousy, people pleasing doormat style female and have you believe they are fated to be together.Jang Na Ra and Jang Hyuk turned a fairly standard plot into a very watchable drama, Their ability to act transforms what could have been 'cardboard cut-out characters' into real people that I could relate to, Each actor has added their own nuances to their roles that in another's hands could just be annoying and turned it into endearing The development of each role during this drama allows their weaknesses to become their strengths.
I laughed and cried and binge-watched my way through this drama and was cheering for them to be able to be a couple. The only let down was the wrap up at the end it felt forced and less authentic.
Well worth the investment of time,

Amazing, my favorite drama. I don't think I'll be able to even do this drama justice in this review, just go watch the show.I initially only began watching this because it's one of the only dramas Hulu has. I'm not a fan of dramas with the rich guy and poor girl dynamic because, I typically find that they demean the girl the entire time, but this one was so different. Not because they didn't demean her, but because the story strengthened her.
Is the story dramatic? Yes. Unrealistic? Yes. Does it have ridiculous moments? Absolutely. But, do the actors do so well that you feel as though it's all real? YES.
This drama not only is entertaining to watch but also has life lessons and morals that may impact your real life (as it did mine).
Storyline:
This drama, as most know, was adapted from the Taiwanese version and in all honesty, I'm not trying to hate on the Taiwanese version, but I couldn't barely get through the episodes of it. In my opinion, it lacks the charisma and heart wrenching value that the Korean version has.
The storyline sounds so cliché and terrible, but this show makes it work and uses the tropes in a unique way that makes them no longer tropes. It has it's overdramatic moments, but what drama doesn't? To add to that, even the overdramatic moments are so well executed ( in my opinion) that they makes you emotional.
Acting/Cast/Characters:
Gunnie. Oh Gunnie. He truly makes the series as good as it is. He isn't a super stereotypical lead and I feel as though this is one of the reasons that despite the fact that the story has tropes, it continues to be extremely unique. After you watch this you'll probably be imitating his ridiculous laugh for days. That said, he's a character that'll make you roll laughing but also cry your heart out. His genuine heartbrokenness over some of the serie's events is so realistic that it's even more heart wrenching for the viewer to watch. There is so much I wish I could say about this character, but it'd be a spoiler and so I won't say those things. But, he is just all in all a beautiful character. The one thing I will mention from later in the series (and I won't spoil anything) is the computer videos scene (those who have watched the show know what I'm talking about), I have never ever cried so hard at a show or movie as I did watching that scene. It was so realistic and relatable and heart destroying, especially when he's talking about being in the restaurant and choking on the food (again, sounds weird, but those who've watched know what I'm talking about.) it was so relatable.
As for the female lead. Amazing as well. Being a "post-it" girl myself and seeing the character naturally form into such a strong, independent woman was amazing and gave me faith for myself. Jang Na Ra's acting skills are off the charts, I don't really cry at movies or shows. Ever. But, every time she started sobbing, so did I. And this is partially because Jang Na Ra (and Jang Hyuk as well) didn't do the whole "pretty cry." When she cried it looked so real and even though she ugly cried it was beautiful and brought out so much more emotion than when actors do the pretty, delicate cry. When Gun and Mi Yeong cried, they SOBBED. And so did I.
The "love rivals" in this were good as well. I loved Daniel and Se Ra's side story, it was heart warming and I'm so happy they got a good ending as well. Last but not least, despite the two main leads being AMAZING characters, in my heart two supporting characters may be tied with Gun and Mi Yeong as my favorite characters in this series. Those two characters are Manager Tak and Yong. Them as a duo was HILARIOUS. Yong's funny facial expressions and reactions had me on the floor laughing. Both in seriousness and in comedy view Yong was the character I related most to, where as Tak was amazing again, both comedy wise and in caring so much for Gun and Mi Yeong as well. Bottom line: even with as good and I find the storyline to be, had they not casted the actors they did I don't think this show would've been even half as good as it is. The actors and the characters they played were absolutely amazing.
Music:
I just have three words "Goodbye My Love." That song was stuck in my head for days after watching the series. As if the sad scenes weren't sad enough, this song would start playing and I'd begin tearing up already. Ailee's voice (which I actually didn't realize it was her singing it til after watching the series) is addicting and pure gold. As for the other tracks, they were fantastic and fit the scenes so well.
All and all, this series is SO worth your time. Don't write it off because of the synopsis.
