Fated to love You: A heartfelt drama that touches every emotion

From an initially absurd and almost delusional start, a remarkable drama unfolds. At first, I wasn't fond of it and nearly quit, but as the chapters progressed, it transformed into something truly memorable.

Jang Hyuk's portrayal of Lee Gun is nothing short of fantastic—an eccentric character expertly executed with a sensibility that traverses the spectrum from absurdity to deep drama. His versatility shines, making Lee Gun a memorable and multidimensional personality.

Jang Nara, in the role of Kim Mi Young, initially depicted as a seemingly trivial person, evolves into a character of immense kindness and care. Her journey transforms her into a role model, adding layers of humor and, ultimately, making her irresistibly lovable.

Choi Jin Hyuk's presence, charming smile, and protective role contribute impeccable charisma to the drama, adding another layer of depth to the storyline.

Upon its conclusion, the viewer is left with a profound appreciation for the significance of good work, kindness, humility, and caring for others—a message beautifully embedded in the narrative.

The only quirk lies in the peculiar costumes, with less-than-tasteful combinations that may raise an eyebrow. However, these eccentricities neither detract nor add significantly to the overall experience.

The Plot:

Lee Gun, the president of a household products chemical company, harbors a deep admiration for a particular dancer. On the other hand, Kim Mi-young holds the position of secretary at a law firm and is nicknamed "Post-it" due to her tendency to be unable to refuse the requests of her peers. She accumulates tasks as a result, as others take advantage of her kindness and gentle personality.

The plot takes a turn when Li Jian and Meiying, under the influence of a third party, find themselves in a situation where Meiying becomes pregnant. This unexpected event sets the stage for a series of events that will shape the narrative of the story.

When Gun's grandmother, President Wang, discovers the situation, she compels Gun to seek her out and marry her. However, uncertainty looms as Jiang Shila reappears.

The Romantic Dynamic Lee Gun emerges as a captivating and charismatic character, while his counterpart is depicted as a somewhat naive "post-it girl" with a surface-level portrayal, yet mentally resilient. Despite their notable personality differences, her unexpected character transformation mid-series introduces a layer of complexity to the narrative.

The Interplay of Kisses: King Mi and Lee Gun

Introducing Choi Jin-hyuk (1986) as Daniel Pitt, the Supporting Role vying for Kim Mi's affection. As an affluent character with hidden wealth, Daniel Pitt embodies the classic third-wheel trope seen in many K-dramas. Unfortunately, his lack of charisma and a feeble confession make him come across as more of a pushover than a substantial character.
