You're My Destiny (2008)

she's ready, he's not; he's ready, she's not...repeat & repeat &repeat.....

This series is sort of entertaining; it made me laugh at times, but I wouldn't recommend it since there are several moments when I'm like...OH. MY. GOD!!! I was so annoyed with the main female lead in the first half for being too weak. The male lead is iffy for the most part. He keeps saying he wants to be with Chen Xin Yi, but always one way or another attached to Anna. EVERY SINGLE TIME he was showing his grand gesture to Chen Xin Yi, something happens to Anna and he has to to to Anna. It gets super annoying how this writer just drag this out for too long. The back and forth...now she's willing to be with him, he's not; then he's ready to be with her, she's not...mind you this keep dragging on and on for most part of the series.

I just could not stand it anymore and had to drop this series at the part when everything is fine and dandy, then she has to have problem with her reproductive system (I mean who goes to check their reproductive system before getting married after had already have a kid together?!) and reject his proposal by saying she wants to go to Shang Hai to be with Dylan and just want to be Cun Xi's friend! I'm like SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this so much! The first few episodes it was serious and I love the storyline. This gave me another chance to see one of my fav actors Ethan Ruan. He does comedy very well. The directors/writers had the right cast to showcase this drama series. Xin Ling Zhong, OMG, she was awesomely funny, I love her. It felt good to really laugh where your stomach hurts, this is a great comedy. It was also sad and like the American soap operas, there is always that snake to break up or harm a relationship. I took half of the points off the music because they played continuously. The chemistry was there in the Romance parts. Not like Legend of Fuyao, I'm being selfish right now... lol. Thanking the Director, and all of the cast including the guest cast! Thanking the team for makeup and costumes. No Martial arts that I love but the comedy was a plus.

I can say that this has been one of my favourite dramas to watch and re-watch. The plot was very moving and I loved how they cut the story into two parts. The first part where Elaine is basically someone who gets walked all over with no career prospects or real personality. But in the second part Elaine grows up and knows what she wants in life and in her husband. I felt that it was so good to see her grow up during the length of the series. It's not something that I've seen in dramas often. Her growth was what made the series interesting to watch. I felt like that I have grown up with her as I was watching it.
The main characters had a lot of chemistry and I loved their scenes together. I felt that this series had really took the taiwanese drama scene up a notch.
This is really a must watch series!

It is typical romantic story, though the comparison to Cinderella is nice fairy element. At the beginning, the fates of Xin Yi and Cun Xi weren't very absorb, but then, when the story is more complicated and Xin Yi goes to Shanghai I've strated watching carefully. I admire Xin Yi's angelic patience to Mr. Ji nad his childish games.

The main character's thread isn't the only one. I love supporting chracters! All Chen family and grandma Wang Zhen Zhu should be noticed! What is more, I'm a fan of 'Father' Dylan eyes, though his style isn't good.

The last episode is incredible. I didn't know that the end will be so intricate.

And these final notes... hah...Asian Lassie xD

Fated To Love You really has a great story about unexpected love, and family. I felt that the plot was good, and the message even better. This drama really made a stand for the importance of life, no matter how small, so small that's the life isn't even born yet. The cast did a great job. I loved every cast member, and thought that each and every played an important role in this drama, but my favorite had to be Anson ;). The music was cute, but when reading the subs for the lyrics, the song really made me think, "What the heck is this?" The lyrics were just plain weird. I would probably not watch this drama again. It's not that it is bad, and I did highly enjoy it, it's just that I think it was way too long. The drama could have been done in 16 episodes. The scenes were played out too long, and the drama between the characters was never ending. It seemed like there was never a moment of peace between the characters, and there was always misunderstanding. I understand how there really isn't a drama without drama, and usually the same sort of drama too, the ex girlfriend, the miscommunication, the "I'm not good enough for you, so I'm leaving you", and so on, but usually dramas don't implement every single one of those conflicts, but Fated To Love You did, and it was overused and overly drawn out to the point that kept looking at the time, waiting for the episode to be over. With that being said, overall I gave this drama a 7. It would have gotten a better rating based on the story and cast alone, but with the drama having too much drama, and being too long, I really couldn't give Fated To Love You a better overall score, even though I really wanted to. This is a great drama to watch if you have a few days of free time. I think it is definitely worth watching, it's just going to take some patience to get through.
