This is my first review on IMDB. I have only started watching K-drama just 1-2 months ago and I could really understand now why the world just go crazy over K-drama series. Anyways, I really love this K-drama series. It is a different kind of love story where 2 unexpected people from 2 different worlds and with totally opposite types and temperament from each other, yet they were fated to end up together, no matter what life, people and obstacles were put in from of them. It is full of bitter sweet moments, many funny and hilarious events, and yet some painful and heart wrenching times too. After hours and hours of roller-coaster feelings and boxes of tissues wiping off tears later, I really can say this is one of the best K-drama or any life/love-story dramas I have ever seen in my lifetime. Plus the songs are so good too.

This Korean version is much better than the Taiwanese version of "Fated to Love You". The Korean version is more realistic (the main Korean guy is more older and more believable as the head of a big corporation than the Taiwanese guy - who looked too young and cute); there are so funny, passionate and painful moments too. All their cast acting are very believable, and they put their full effort in their roles.

This K-drama is highly recommended.

A romantic comedy full of heartrending drama. A story hinting at predestined love. A young woman wins a trip and invites a young man from work she has a crush on. Meanwhile a man is planning a grand proposal for his work obsessed longtime girlfriend.

If my review was only on the acting this would have a much higher score, unfortunately there were several scenes where even I had a difficult time suspending my belief. I also felt that if they had taken the time on a couple of the subplot lines it would have felt less frustrated with the plot holes.

Over all I enjoyed the major story arch, two people who under normal circumstance would never have met are brought together by fate.

Initially, I was put off by Lee Gun's manic personality as played by Jang Hyuk. However, as the story developed and reasons for some of his behavior were revealed, I was amazed at how right his acting choices were. Steadily as the serial became more drama and less romcom, I fell in love with his character.

Kim Mi-young played by Jang Na-ra, started out as a very nice door mat. While her character did not go through major changes in my opinion, her ability to show and evoke various emotions as the character goes through difficulty after difficulty was good.

Unfortunately, the writers did not give all the characters as much room to evolve beyond the caricature they started as. Choi Jin-Hyuk as Daniel, was beautiful to watch, but they did not allow the character to develop beyond the unrequited love guy. He was too nice and patient with everyone and everything.

Yet while I some times became frustrated with some of the choices the characters made, over all I enjoyed the story telling.

I would also like to mention I loved Song Wok-suk as Kim Mi-young's mother and her story line. I loved how she was able to be that mother that scolded her daughter one minute and then grabbed and protected her from anyone else that would dare insult her daughter.

If you are able to suspend your belief on a couple of really impossible scenes, I recommend watching this heartwarming and at times tear flowing love story.

The leading actor has a weirdo laugh! A little scary! But there is a reason for that weird laugh! Throughput the drama, there is a reason to his hairstyle, to give different expression! He portrays it very well!

The leading actress is a true doormat! Though not that pretty but sweet, warm, honest & cute at times! But when she has make-up on, nice attire & without the ugly glasses, she turns out pretty. Both of them have a wonderful chemistry! They are comfortable with each other & not stiff! So beautiful together!

The supporting actor is so handsome! So thoughtful & kind!

Fantastic cast! Cool grandmother, tough mom, funny assistant & wonderfu lhalf brother!

Another drama full of obstacles, disappointment, betrayal & love!

One can never forget your first love.

Worth watching! Really swoonworthy! It may not seems like it in the beginning but it will. Be prepared to have your tissues nearby & laugh!

I recommend! Will binge watch again!

I started watching this expecting cheese. It starts off with extreme blue cheese in the first scene, then turns into something warm, gooey and wonderful. The main male lead is OTT and maniacal, and at a few points I wish her mother was there with her wooden bat to have a good go at him again (yay mum!) but the reasons for his behaviour became apparent due to his job/lifestyle, family and circumstances.

All that being said, the female lead had the most wonderful, crazy, overly protective and loving family that as scary as it sounds I think everyone would wish they had. They completely stole the show.

The lost girlfriend though.... she made a poor decision and it cost everyone everything. It's easy to feel sorry for her, but as I always say..... decisions determine destiny.

Watch this show.

This by far is one of the most heartwarming versions of Fated to Love You that I've watched...and I watched all three of them. I found myself watching this series several times...It's just that good! This was the best performed, most gut wrenching and most humorous of the three. I am a fan of Jang Hyuk - and watch everything he does. I can honestly say I really loved him and Nara in this series. They had a strong supporting cast, and the storyline is believable. You will laugh and you will cry, and you will also find yourself humming along with the unforgettable music (OST) in this Drama. I highly recommend this series.
