The Story
A lonely civil servant gets transferred to a new department where she encounters a prickly but handsome lawyer. And when he presents her with an ancient locked chest, she finds herself in possession of a magic spell book. But little do they know that the spell book just may hold the key to curing a centuries old curse that has affected all the men in the lawyer’s family for generations. As they investigate the origin of the magic chest and the books inside, they will learn that their fate started together long before their recent chance meeting.
Should I Watch
“Destined With You” is a fantasy rom-com with elements of horror, thriller, and historical drama thrown in. While there are moments of suspense and mystery, at its heart, the plot is mostly fluffy office romance. Of course, that is not necessarily a bad thing, if that is what you are looking for. But just know that some of the edgier scenes in the first couple of episode are soon replaced with a sweeter love story. For me, this is another example of a drama that just tried to do too much. New plots and problems get added each episode, often before the previous story has had any conclusion. On the plus side, the leads have amazing chemistry, Rowoon looks breathtaking, and the surprise elements will keep you guessing right up until the end. I give “Destined With You” an 8 out of 10 ramen.
