Reasons to watch: Bring on the rom-coms! And if you’re Destined With You, you’re also bringing a bucketload of fate with you. (And perhaps, going by the cast promotional photo, a dose of silliness too.) In our story, Jo Boa plays a civil servant who gets entangled with handsome attorney Kim Ro-woon when she breaks the centuries-old curse on him and his family. But with tons of cuteness also comes the forbidden and tragic (?) Joseon-era romance that started off the curse to begin with. (Well, at least we know they “met before” right from the get-go.)
Also starring in second lead roles are Ha Joon and Yura — both of whom have gotten too good at playing antagonistic roles. Notably, the drama also marks screenwriter Noh Ji-seol’s comeback after the success of 100 Days My Prince. Here’s hoping for a smash hit of cuteness and unexpected depth of character.
