I’ve watched a number of c-drama with romance/historical/fantasy genre prior to Love and Destiny and I’ve been bitterly disappointed with all of them - mainly the endings.
And many times I have vowed never to watch any c-drama with historical genre ever again. Investing sometimes more than 60 eps, the disappointment was too much and mostly ruined the pleasure of watching it in the first place.
I discovered Love and Destiny mainly because of the main lead Ni Ni from previous Rise of Phoenixes (mortally disappointed with this drama - bad ending!) However, Ni Ni impresses me with her acting abilities. So I figured L&D should be good.
Let me tell you, I was so scared to watch L&D, in case of another disaster. I started to do some research (same director/team from TMOPB making L&D. I liked TMOPB but Love and Destiny is so much more superior in quality and content), so l brave myself to give it a go. Also, Chang Chen as God of War was amazing! His subtle articulations of said character - stern, resolute, determine, caring translated clearly in his expression. Well done to the director for choosing these two leads. Most compatible main couple - chemistry, beautiful and solid.
I’m utterly in-love/obsessed/happy plus all the nice feeling while/when watching this drama. Although I wish the last arch of this drama go a bit more detailed and longer.....
I’ve watched it perhaps a dozen times and am still enjoying it. I’m in a fixed and I cannot move on!
Perhaps I’m a hopeless romantic but a bit of romance + happiness melts all the stresses of our everyday life.
