Fated to love you was the first kdrama i watched and only because i saw somewhere the scene in the rain where Gun tells Sa-ra he married another woman. Jang Hyuk is phenomenal, but watching his other performances, i am not really surprised. This guy can act! Yes, as Gun he is a little over the top, and maybe there are times when you will cringe, but weirdly enough, you will get used to it! Worth mentioning is all the hairstyles he goes through the episodes! Nevertheless, he still looks million dollars ;) Jang Nara is beautiful. So innocent and pure. They both did an amazing job.
Now to the plot. I must say it left me with mixed feelings. Especially because of Sa-ra. I felt terribly sorry for her. She was a victim to a big misunderstanding where she was suddenly left with a broken heart. In the 'original' taiwanese' version of fated to love you (with ethan juan), the feelings between Ji Cun Xi and Anna were much stronger, his emotional struggle between his feelings for Anna and moral obligations toward Xin Ji was much more apparent. In the korean version, Sa-ra's feelings were neglected and i felt sad for her. Of course, they gave her long lost brother at the end, but that's a different kind of love and for me it did not compensate the heartache.
Overall i enjoyed the show very much, i laughed, i cried, i cringed, i hoped.. it was a rollercoaster of feelings and emotions and all actors did an amazing job to make me feel that way!
