Tu es ma destinée (2020)

I Barely Made it Through This One

Right off the bat, I started fast-forwarding through a lot of the FL's scenes. Mousy, picked-on, yes-woman character I get - but this one was over the top. And she just kept on whining and playing the victim. Even her steamy chemistry with that dreamy ML couldn't save her character. And I know better than to blame the actors, who are playing the parts they are given, so the screen writers and the director are guilty.

Wang Xiyi tried to convince Chen Jia Xin that he loved her and that he would do right by her and their baby - but over and over with the guilt trip and the apologizing! And then when her own actions led to her running out in front of a car and losing the baby, she (and just about everyone in her circle) blames Xiyi. The story up to that point had me fast forwarding a lot! So annoying!

However, I managed to finish the series and could only give it a 6 (because I liked the leads). But that being said, I do have to express:

Most Noble character - Dylan (sorry he couldn't get a better ending). Maybe good guys get rewarded somewhere.

Least Favorite character - Jia Xin's mother. Not quite Mommie Dearest, but what a virago!

Most Annoying character - Siqi - hands down!

Very touching in parts, especially dealing with Ximi. But everything else was just too messy and the story arcs could have been developed a little more.

Re-watch? I doubt it. But maybe for the romance factor - there were some good kissing scenes in there.

Meh

Started watching this drama after getting recommended by instagram and not going to lie that the main leads were both good looking, so I gave it a chance. the plot had some strength to it and since the main issue of the whole drama is already an emotional baggage, I thought they ride that train longer. This drama has two parts, both of which were weak. I'm not going to Lie, this drama is a drag but you could only drag it for 14 episodes after which you start to feel nauseous and want to fast forward it and at the end I truly just skip entire episodes and felt nothing missing, that is when you know, the drama has a problem. Instead of lengthening the distrust, anger, misunderstandings and most of all sadness, of the SECOND half, these people just did an enormous meet and greet, if you will an "entire icebreaker" spanning 20 episodes. really feels like a missed and a lost potential, I mean miscarriage is one of the most, if not the most painful experiences anybody goes through and they minimized that entire plot, really felt like I should have been crying river (entire Mississippi). But Alas, I could only write.

Well, Thank you for keeping up with my rambling. Well how are you guys doing. I think, maybe will be writing here more, so see you guys.

I liked this drama overall (I haven't watched any of the other adaptions) simply because the plot was new to me. I also really enjoyed Xing Zhao Lin and Liang Jie's performances. They're both good actors and they have good chemistry. I don't feel like writing a super in-depth review, so here's my hot take. The angst it too spread out. This drama would have flowed much better if there were 20 episodes or less. While it was well cast and the performances were exemplary, the ending was way to abrupt for how long (in drama time and episodes) they spent pining over each other. That's more of an issue with the writing though. All it all it was okay. I'm glad I watched it, but I probably won't rewatch over watching something else.

Why to choose to watch You are my destiny.

I usually don't bother to write reviews for the dramas that i like. But after finishing you are my destiny i felt the urge to write down a few words for other users to see. You are my destiny was one of the best Chinese dramas that i have ever watched regarding acting skills, production(sceneries , clothes etc ) and casting. Actors were very well chosen for each role and everyone portrayed their role in an amazing way.FL and ML have a very unique on screen chemistry and thats why you can easily feel their emotions. Music was also a plus, all the songs have stucked in my mind. To conclude, if you are searching for a cdrama that has a little bit of comedy, adult life, and lots of passion scenes you are my destiny is your choice!!!

I think the show should end at 30 episode. The last few episode felt like very draggy.
I also think the ending part should be at least 1 full episode.
The last episode was still the leads trying to resolve some issue and the ending ending was done in like 15-20min.
So some episodes felt like there's fillers to fill the time because they wanted to end it at 36 instead of actually needing 36 episode. I think it would have been much better if problems were all resolved in the episode before the last and just give us the last episode of the ending like what happens with the character after they resolved their issue. I'm trying to write this without putting in any spoilers It's quiet difficult to explain without actually mentioning some spoilers .

Fated to love you 2020

I saw some clip from IG at first i was so hesitant for watching it i thought its not good as the original one from taiwan. Actually i didn't watch the korean version because im afraid that it might destroy the story that i still remember. But when i saw some clip i told myself why not giving it a try. In just 5days i was able to finish the 36 episode of course i skip some episode and focus to the main character cuz im so confident that the story is still the same. After watching it im not satisfied i felt that their are some scene that i might omit. But i like the chemistry of the main character zhaolin and jangjie. I start searching for them in ig then i saw some clips thats i skipped.Then i started watching the drama full episode and I realise that the story was so good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 i like the characters, the chemistry, the plot .There are some few changes but the love story is still there. Pure and loving chen jianxin and comical xin yi. I Really like to recommend this drama. Please watch it it dont skip or you might not able to see their sweet and loving moments. I already finish watching the eternal love 2 and still waiting for eternal love 3. They really portrait the character as if its their own story. God Job! Godbless. Actually im into Kdramas so i only watch a few chinese. Just wanted to share a story Last year i decided to go to taiwan with my 2 sister, we made our own itinerary. Prior to that i watch fated to love you taiwan and i learn a few words atleast 5. 🤣🤣🤣 the one that very helpful to us is zai na li. Dont know if correct. While in keelung where looking for a bus stop and a lady in 40s felt the we need some help she ask us and said zai na li? Or na li i tolf may sisters Shes asking us if where are we going. She keep on talking i cant understand she help us to find the bus stop where we can ride a bus to jiufen. All i can say is thank you in chinese. Thats all 🤗🤗🤗

I'm a fan of these two because of Eternal Love. And I'm happy to see them in a moderm drama. This version has its up and downs.

I watched the Taiwan, dropped the Korean because it became too melodramatic for me and thai version was boring in my opinion.

The chinese version changed some details from the original story but am happy they removed the sick male lead arc from the korean and thai versions.

Although they cheated involuntarily on Anna I can't help but hate her victim mentality and her brother Dylan, I seriously love him and thought of all the versions he could be the best Dylan but no, he had to be the good brother and stop Wang Xoyo from reuniting with Jiaxin even though he had the moment of enlightenment I can't help but think that the siblings are way too selfish.

I love Wang Xiyi's family and I like how this family dynamoc changed with Jiaxin and how intact it was after she left. I love the aunt for fighting to keep Jiaxin as her niece in law. And that outrageous meddlesome grandmother.

Jiaxin's family is okay for me the mom fought for her daughter and saw Xiyi's devotion to her and changed her mond about their relationship.

The story dragged on in the latter part and I kinda hated how Jiaxin became a pushover for the siblings may be because she thought she was to blame but like girl you gotta fight for your love. Right? Although you see the character growth she still has that snail in her.

Wang Xiyi's growth is imminent and although I think he's too nice he never got back with her even after his wife left. But he never drew a line she can't cross which cpuld be the reason she was hopeful they can be together again.

The only ex gf of the main lead I liked is the one in the thai version because after they talked it out I never saw her attempt to get her ex back and understood that he loved the wife.

Although we all know it would be a happy ending given it's the 4th remake but the last episode felt too rushed. Anyways its still good.

Never wanted a couple to find the way back together more than this one!

This was a beautifully well written story, and I loved it. I cried, got angry, laughed and happy for all. I binged watched from episodes 1-36 for 2 days. This couple deserved to be happy with all they went through. Wang Xiyi really loved Chen Jiaxin and didn't give up on her. Glad he gave up on Anna, who hurt him so many times to find his true love and happiness. Was surprised that XiYi and Jiaxin had never filed for divorce from the Civil Affairs Bureau. So sad that they loss the baby to go through hell to get happiness in the end. So glad Anna lost in the end because she was just evil and selfish, and I truly hated her. Glad Dylan found his sister and hope he helps her to turn her life around and find true love for himself. Glad Anson found happiness with his crazy wife because I was worried with her ego, he might walk away from her.
The chemistry between the main actors is amazing and actually all the characters touched me so much.
Glad the ending scene was on the cruise where it all started. Although the final episodes were a bit frustrating and disappointing, I liked this C-drama mainly because of Liang Jie and Xing Zhaolin. Swoon worthy couple with their kissing and hug scenes.
I also watched the Korean version of this drama Fated to Love You. Same feels.

ok but not the best version of the show

I have watched the different version of this show and while this version is ok, it's far from being the best one. I liked that they brought some twists to the version of other countries. I liked that they removed the illness of the main character and removed the part of going in the wrong room (doesn't really work anymore) but they also turned Dylan in a forceful creep, killing the show for me. him trying to get Elaine to break up with xinyi was done in a bully's way. And the actor that plays Dylan is not great. I would also add that Elaine's transformation was weaker than in the other version of the show.
