The idea is there...

If you are a fan of arrange marriage, Cinderella or Ugly Duckling like stories..

AND if you haven't seen the original 2008 one, THIS IS FOR YOU.

BUT, if you have already watched the ORIGINAL "FATED TO LOVE YOU" in 2008, it will be a love-hate feeling.


Let's start with what I like.

The CAST:

The Main Lead were cute. I like their chemistry. But I really like the guy who played Anson, the Grandma, the FL mom and the Aunt.

The Sweet Scenes. I really like how they added more scenes which shows how the ML slowly falls for the FL. I also like that they added a scene where he is assuring the FL that she is the one is choosing compare to the original one.

WHAT I DISLIKE

1. They cheated on Anna. Compare to the original one wherein it was really an accident and that everything looks it was planned by Destiny, in the 2020 version, they got drunk and had one night stand.
(Uhmm Don't use the reason that they were drunk and they don't know what they werr doing)

2. How Joe Chen portrayed the FL character is so spot on. She did look like she was a push over, you can feel pity on her since she didn't have friends, her mom and sisters only remembers her when something bad happens. At first, you don't really feel that they care about her at all. You can feel that the reason why she is a YES girl is because she wanted to be acknowledge on something.

BUT in the new version, the FL is well loved. Yes she was a pushover in the first few eps but after that, you don't feel that anymore. She has a loving mother and a Bestfriend, whereas the original she didn't have anyone except her dad who already passed away.

3. Dylan, I really love his character whether it was the Taiwan or the Korean version. I like the original that who was mistaken to be a priest by the FL. I also like that they showed the backstory of Dylan, who is looking for his missing sister and then he met the FL whi shared the same name. In the new version, it's not like that. I didn't feel Dylan's character at all (even if I'm crushin on the actor). And they even remove the part where the FL and his sister shared the same name.

4. Anna, I didn't feel any pity on Anna at all. Unlike the original version wherein, she lost her ability to dance because of an accident which she used so she can keep the ML beside her. In this version, I don't see anything that would make her want to keep the ML. The backstory and emotional trauma they used to buikd her story is not heavy enough to make me want to sympathize on her.

5. The PEN, gosh, it's one of my fave reveal. In the original, when the FL runaway because she thought that the ML didn't want her was heartbreaking. Added the fact that the ML found out that the pen that he thought was a gift from Anna was originally from the FL and she used her supposed Dowry to buy it for him. It was such a reveal that he realized he was really a jerk and decided to run after her.

But in the original, I think it was not given justice. I like that they added a story wherein it shows that the FL did a lot just to get the pen. But I felt that this was wasted.

6. The MOST heartbreaking scene was supposed to be when the FL had the miscarriage BUT I didn't feel anything. Joe Chen and Jang Nara did a great job showing despair and grief when they lost their baby. Up until now, I would cry whenever I see the the Taiwan and Korean version especially how good they show the emotion on those scene.

I just felt that the China one didn't really reach that expectation i had.

7. Tranformation. On the 2 earlier version, you can really see how they transformed from once nerdy looking woman into a confident lady.

In the newer one, there's not much at all. She has been transformed already even before she had the accident.

8. The REVELATION. In the original, it showed that the camera used to record baby Gs giving birth accidentally recorded the convo of the FL and Anna and how Anna apologize regarding the accident. The ML, his grandma and Anson saw it and that's how he confronted Anna.

But in the new one, it was like hey I know it not you its okay I forgive you. Thats all. Like it was not a big deal.


9. NO Baby G. Sad. I mean, Baby G is not a big character but still have taken part in the original story.

10. The story of the Island where the FL is from. TBH, in the new version, they can already remove it. It's like they just added it for the sake that it is part of the original story.

It is vital since in the original, the people of the island pleaded the FL to help them so they keep the factory. That she marry the ML so they can save it. It was important for me since, this gives added burden to the FL and gives her more reason to marry the ML.


I mean it's not that bad. I can see that the writer tried to make the story more realistic BUT that is why it is called YOU ARE MY DESTINY, it was Destiny who helped them meet from the accidental one night stand, and meeting again. The original version is still the best especially the story and the portrayal of the characters. I also liked the Korean version since they tried to make the story close to the original one.

I just felt that the newer version is a bit dragging. But I still would recommend especially if you haven't seen the Taiwanese one.

The original is more ROM COM, slapstick comedy which I think it's charm.
