Le livre de notre destin

There are some issues as others point out more eloquently with the filming and the plot/continuity being a bit all over the place, but at the same time the drama is really enjoyable and has lots of nice scenes, be it funny, romantic or just beautiful. The interaction between the leads is good, it's like they have they own funny (bickering) language, and also FL is a great ar counteracting the ML in a way that it is clear that she cares for him but not is also not a pushover, makes him go through a character development. By contrast it can then seem that the FL is not going through as much character development but I think she is getting more mature in love too.

Jo Bo Ah and Rowoon have an insane chemistry, they nailed it.

The cinematography and performances are great.

Another key point is the songs, you can't stop listening to them. They make the scenes unforgettable.

The story is simple but hooks you in.

I loved it from beginning to end. In my case it never bored me.

I recommend it especially if you love romance. There are very beautiful scenes between the main characters.

I liked that the drama had a combination of several genres, because I love that you can experience various emotions.

It will make you cry, laugh and scream.

I'm gonna miss this drama.

Kim Ra Woon makes this series with not only his handsomeness but his good vibes and brings romance and happiness to the drama. The FL seems to have decent chemistry in her role as well. A reincarnation themed fantasy where they have had a 300 year relationship includes some historical scenes and great costuming into the drama. The side story of the co- worker downstairs was good as well as the mayors daughter to bring in tension to the love story is good but not so sure about the comedic older couple side story. Great ending and glad they spent enough time on it. Romantic and happy brought by the ML.

Critically speaking the series deserve 5/10. The flow of story is pretty random, story itself was weak. I liked the costume design though.

But the reason I gave it 9/10 is simply because this series was not meant for critical assessment. The whole intention was to make the audience take the back seat, turn off cynicism and just enjoy. I would say it was successful in making me feel what it intended to- Romantic!

The chemistry between Hung-Jo and Sinyu was critically lame, yet non-critically adorable, funny and cute. Actor Rowoon and Bo-ah were perfect together. Specially Rowoon showed his acting prowess. He gives brilliant yet subtle facial expressions. I watched him on "she would never know" and "the king's affection" and I hope he thinks about acting in movies, and on more serious script. He displayed a lot of potential, and can be something really big and global. Bo-ah is the the cutest, I felt like squeezing her cheeks, haha. Hope to see this pair again.

Like soap operas from my college days, this story had all the elements. A face slapped. Dramatic rescue. A cat fight between two women. Love and people are messy. General Hospital worthy entertainment. Lead characters have great chemistry. Would love to see more stories portrayed by them. Scenes meant to be funny are funny. Scenes meant to be dramatic are dramatic. Subtitles in English were spot on. Really sparked my interest in learning the Korean language. Soundtrack was good. Added Mamamoo song 'Hip' to my playlist. I don't watch reality shows so thank you for creating a binge worthy series.
