Scripting Your Destiny (2021) User Reviews

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 8/10 · 26 May 2021]

Korean Drama "Scripting Your Destiny" is a pretty good mini drama that handled the fantasy element well. Actually, the universe that the drama introduced was interesting, entertaining, with decent CGI and intriguing characters. The drama was also well written, with smooth twists and a sweet romance. The latter had a good pace, and the chemistry between the leads was a nice bonus too.

The performances were, in addition, great from everyone in the cast. The back and forth was also smoothly done. However, sometimes it got a bit off hand and complicated.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Boring, confusing, touching...?

I don't mind mini-series. They usually have a great length for a lazy day at home - and so did this one.

Challenge with mini-series: it is hard to find the right pace for the story and for me, this show kind of failed at it. The first 5 or 6 episodes were pretty boring and until then, I had no idea where the story was headed, which was frustrating.

It was only in/after episode 7 when everything started to make sense and more feelings and emotions were involved, thus making me catch interest. And BOOM, just like that, when I had just realized what was going on and loving it, the show ended lol.

There are a few things I want to highlight though: The cinematography and the scene edits were fantastic and the soundtrack was really fitting.

Also, I loved the characters, especially Go Chae Gyeong, Shin Ho Yoon and Myeong aka the main trio.
