I’ve been slowly rewatching the #kdrama #destinedwithyou and last night I watched Episode 14. What an emotional episode. My one complaint is when instead of immediately calling emergency services time was spent blubbering & professing love. I can’t say more than that. That remains my only complaint about the episode and the drama.

Something else I like about #KDrama ... I can rewatch a series and still be just as delighted and yell just as much about characters not talking to each other as I did in the initial watch. Rewatching #DestinedWithYou and it's just as good as I remember.

It's been a while, so here's my accountability #kdrama update.

On Saturday, I accidentally binge-watched four episodes of Destined With You (they kept ending in increasingly stressful cliffhangers!) and wrapped up the last two episodes Sunday morning. Did not expect to cry over this one!

Now I'm trying to get through the last couple episodes of Run On, which I have been trying to watch for two years, but I've finally hit the slow slog I was worried about. It's not bad in the least but the episode pace is glacial right now and my attention keeps drifting.

And finally, my weekly online kdrama club started our 10th drama! We've started Hospital Playlist, which I have seen and loved, and I'm so excited to experience my pals watching it for the first time!

@UkMudeok

100% agree. Both are fabulous actors - using their whole bodies - even toes pointed a certain way to convey so much!

I finished a rewatch of #destinedwithyou and have to mention the subtle acting of #rowoon. He does great eye acting and always reminds me of a large cat with the way he moves. He also has a great comedic touch.
Jo Bo-ah is also fantastic. She plays off of Rowoon so well and conveys the emotions of her character very well.
My first viewing left me feeling the storyline was great. This viewing left me feeling the acting was great.#kdrama

@s1m0n4
He's great in #Matchmakers,
#DestinedWithYou, #ExtraordinaryYou, and especially, in #Tomorrow

I finally finished Destined With You. This series wasn’t without its flaws, but overall I loved it and would recommend it for anyone who enjoys a modern romance with supernatural elements.

End of the Year Drama Challenge
Day 25: Favorite romance of 2023?

If I knew the ending, I might pick "My Demon" because the chemistry there is outstanding. But I'm not sure how it will end.

I know I'm in the minority with this, but of the 2023 dramas I watched, "Destined with You" was my favorite romance. Loved watching him slowly fall and seeing her love grow.

"Perfect Marriage Revenge" does get an honorable mention.

Complaints I’ve heard about DWY:

- Story is confusing. Yes. The backstory doesn't come early enough & it creates confusion & doubt about the characters - could this be intentional?

- ML is stiff. Yes, on purpose. If you are reading subtitles, the details might be missed. There are so many beautiful, tiny movements - his steadfast steps falter slightly, he wobbles a bit, his hands make finger hearts behind his back. His acting goes down to his toes!

- The coworkers are also terrible people & although we see character growth, we don't know why.

- The 1st part of the drama showed a lot of magic & curse scenes. This faded away & some people felt they were left hanging. I think that as we came to some realizations the magic isn't as important. While there are a few things that I wonder about, nothing that was important to the storyline was left hanging. They may not have explicitly said what happened as a resolution, but the answers are there.

Destined with You
(2023 - Netflix, 16 1:10 eps)

DWY is proving very popular on Netflix. People seem to love or hate it. Complaints are addressed in a reply.

Cinematography is gorgeous - the most beautiful tragic murder scene ever. The director used the surroundings extremely well - all the flower symbolism - look up "Hong Jo", the heart in the city's sign, & the bird that decided to help with the shoot.

One of the funniest kDrama eps I've ever seen is DWY #4. Rowoon's physical comedy is brilliant. With this, he has proven his capabilities. I also like Jo Bo Ah so much better in this than Nine-Tailed. At times her character annoyed me, but her choices emphasized that she had been alone for a long time. The chemistry between them is off the charts cute & sexy! Loved the references to other kDramas.

One of my top 5 favorites! Totally rewatchable!

I really, really wanted to like this. but Show's plot structure was a mess. It tried too hard to be everything & ended up becoming nothing. I was terminally bored throughout because there was a lot of filler characters doing pointless things when all I wanted to know was the curse, our couple and their past lives. But they kept shelved that until the last moment.
