Plot:
A remake of the hit 2008 Taiwanese drama “Fated to Love You“.

Lee Gun (Jang Hyuk) is the president of a family company that produces shampoos and soaps. He is deeply in love with a ballerina. Meanwhile, Kim Mi Young (Jang Na Ra) works as a secretary in a law firm. Her nickname is “Post-it” (sticky note). She earned this nickname because she is so complaisant that her colleagues dump trivial chores on her.

Lee Gun and Kim Mi Young’s paths cross. Fate and a pair of misfit conspirators cause them to pass a befuddled night together, unintentionally. She becomes pregnant….

I didn't like the later half of ep4 at all

and the fact that she was all happy with the marriage it was painful because you can see the huge difference in his reaction

and that lost sister crap is sooooo predictable I just hope he doesn't like her meanwhile coz that would be awful

where do I even begin with this drama? Omg, cause I seriously have no idea, I don't remember laughing so freaking hard when I watched the Taiwanese version

Lee Gun is something else (Jang Hyuk is a refreshing portrayal of this character), absolutely hilarious, less douchey with a touch of maturity when & where it needs to be, teamed up with Jang Na Ra (she's so adorable), I'm loving this couple

I don't have an once of dislike so far

I have been loving this drama! I was hesitant to watch it at first because I tried watching the original Taiwanese version and didn't really like it that much.....but I'm so glad I gave this one a chance! This drama and its actors give the right amount of comedy and heart felt sincerity. I honestly can't wait for the next episode.

Though I must say that I was disappointed with the fact that he didn't realize he was drugged and now there's this huge misunderstanding brewing. But I guess this is what is needed to keep the drama going : /

Not sure if I'm loving this Jang Hyuk's hair :3
Guess I'll pick this series up once it's completed :P

He somehow looked better in this hair. In all of the years of watching dramas, I have never like any of his hair style (IRIS II included) so this is refreshing and hilarious to see him acting like this -- he always cool and relax before.

that gif alone is making me want to watch the drama lol
how is this remake? is it worth watching? I'm in the market for a new drama to watch
*fyi I've only seen bits and pieces of the original

I'd reccomend "marriage not dating" if you're looking for something new to watch. Its fun. Not liking this drama so much. Its very over the top and doesn't make a lot of sense. :/

I actually started watching that the other day! I'm actually surprised how much I like it lol the main character in that show is a bit over the top too but shes honest and true to herself so its really refreshing to see
I'll probably still check out fated to love you eventually, since everyone seems to love it so much

I'm disliking the main girl for Marriage Not Dating. She's too annoying. On the other hand, Fated To Love You main girl is a lot better (even though she's naive, but at least she's not the type of character I want to like shake them to stop being so stupid).

It's worth the watch I'd say. In some ways, it's better than the original because the main character seems to be more understanding like then the Taiwanese Character "Ethan". For a Korean drama, it's pretty fast paced and they don't drag on with the dramatics either lol. (And as far And I believe some one said it in the comments earlier, that they didn't remember laughing this much in the t-version and I have to agree. The comedy in here is hilarious. Plus there's good chemistry between the two main leads.

i hated the original- too dramatic, awful irrational characters. this version is excellent though. i'd def recommend it

You should really check it out. Jang Nara & Jang Hyuk have amazing chemistry just like the leads in Marriage Without Love. And the plus sign, Jang Nara is a lot more likable than Han Groo despite being naive and all. Plus, the series is hilarious. I laugh more on this than Marriage Without Love which imo is equally hilarious too.

I started watching this drama after reading the comments in the last post on here and I'm really liking it. It's hilarious. I haven't seen the original Taiwanese version so I can't compare, but I hope it has a good ending since I feel like there's going to be a lot of shit going down in the next episode. Also I laughed so hard when I saw that little snail creeping up his back when he was going on his long rant about snails.

I'm so happy I gave this show a shot because it's HILARIOUS.
That 'action scene' had me rolling out of bed and gave me aching tummy from laughing too much. I think I even cried.

I'im so amazed by Jang Hyuk in this drama, Gun could be a really annoying character but he makes him really interesting and funny and that LAUGH, omg and that deep VOICE .....dayum.
and then I compare him with how he is in real life and my amazement is complete (he is a pretty quiet guy actually) ;)

because everyone needs a compilation of Gun's laugh (http://fated-toloveyou.tumblr.com/post/91358889253)

this drama is revealing to be so fun and fresh! (I haven't seen the taiwan ver).
Jang Hyuk's character is everything. One minute walking dashingly, another smiling heartily like a crazily lunatic lolol.

Lee Gun is hilarious. The drama is fun but the misunderstanding is going to be annoying. Jang Nara is so so beautiful I'm in love

The first 2 episodes were great. Janghyuk is hilarious and Jang Nara is so likable. For someone like me who doesnt enjoy k-romcom, I like this drama a loooot so far! :D

You should wait 3/4 days before posting. That way, more people can comment on the drama since many have watch the latest episodes by then. :D

I like the characters much more in this version. Especially Jang Nara bc yeah her character is a pushover but not to the extent that the TW one was. She actually fights hard for other people and more for herself than I expected. Also the speech her mom gave about her when everyone asked Mi Young to marry him to save the island...so emotional.

And Gun. I like his character sooo much better because he accepts responsibility and thank goodness there was no contract bc I hate that part of the TW version. He's also much more considerate towards Mi Young. And like everyone has said..Gun's laugh gives me LIFE. I don't know how it isn't annoying

But also not here for the back half of ep 4, the preview looks like there will be a complete 180 to his character

Literally just got off watching the first 4 eps. I cry whenever Jang Nara cries--idk if its the writing or she's really really good. Hope they sustain this til the end!

Seriously after watching the Taiwanese Version I loved it a lot (and was also emotionally drained lol). When I heard they would do a Korean Version I did the usual eye roll and had my mind set that this drama would be ruined lol. But ever since I've watched the first 2 episodes, I've been hooked! I like how this version stays true to the plot but still differ's with the main character's dynamics. Jang Hyuk is hot...good lord! And I freaking love Jang Nara in this role!

Everyone seems to be on the same boat about the end of episode 4 lol. The preview for ep 5 didn't look as much appeasing but I have faith that this drama will keep the ball rolling in the right direction without making Gun look like total misunderstood jerk.

I didn't watch the TW version but I heard the girlfriend eventually becomes not-so-nice... that being said though, I still really feel for Se Ra. I think she was good for Gun and it really sucks for her (and him) that this happened.

Also idk how I feel about the potential sibling story but i do enjoy the scenes of jinhyuk and nara together so far!

I really like this remake. I think the writer really understood what made the original so popular and the parts that could be removed. This drama is just so funny but still has heart. It's been so long since I've actively rooted for the main couple, and the chemistry between Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara is amazing. I need to go back and watch the Jang's first drama together.
