Boku, Unmei no Hito desu (2017)

You can't get better than Kame and Yamapi and really, they're the main reason people will watch this anyway. Poor lead actress, whoever she is, to be stuck opposite the dynamic duo. The best scenes are with Kame and Yamapi, the song is awesome so watch it every time because the ending changes a little with each episode, and overall, just a fun, cute drama that would be forgettable except for our darling male leads. Yamapi isn't in it quite enough to suit my tastes, but when he's there, he packs a punch. It was easy to tell the guys were just having fun. Will rewatch when I'm in need of a Kame and Yamapi fix.

Get the girl and save the world

This drama seemed to have considerable hype at the time of airing. Probably because everyone was really looking forward to the Kame & Yamapi reunion. Personally, I was intrigued by the concept, since I generally like fantasy dramas, so I gave it a try.

Plot-wise, it is nothing new. A guy tries to win over a woman that is supposedly her soulmate, but he always manages to fumble his approaches and ends up getting the opposite result. The woman can come off as really dismissive and annoying, but considering a random man repeatedly comes at you talking about destiny, logically she is right to turn him down. That said I think it took a very long time for the characters to develop a semblance of a meaningful relationship, making the romance not particularly interesting in my view. Instead, the bromance between Kame & Yamapi's characters is definitely the best part of this drama, at least for me. I actually wish that there were more of them or more interactions with the rest of the cast overall. It is still worth a watch just for them.

So I don't actually think this drama is completely perfect even though I've given it a ten across the board, but the way this drama made me love it makes it Feel like a ten to me, so a ten it's getting. I might come back to this review later and change the scoring, but for now, I'm on a finished-drama-high, and who am I to say no to the impulses you get when that happens?

So yeah, there's one main flaw to this story, and if you've done any looking at the comments on MyDramaList, you probably already know what it is.

The drama doesn't provide any compelling reasons, outside of destiny and saving the world, for the leads to end up together.

Granted, I think it does a pretty good job of showing their compatibility when they interact with each other, but still. You do expect a romance to do a little bit of work convincing it's audience that these two are right for each other. Similar hobbies, compatible personalities, the same moral code, something that shows that there's more to their relationship than just 'Fate demands it.' Of course, I'm sure there are many drama lovers out there who find destiny and saving the world compelling enough reasons on their own, and I don't fault them for that. While I'm not really a fan of the 'do it to save the world' angle (that's a very different kind of story, in my eyes), I don't dislike the use of destiny in romance stories. And despite it being the only real foundation for their relationship throughout most of the drama, the leads did always feel Right for each other to me. I don't know if it was the acting chemistry between the actors or the subtext of their interactions with each other or how they always somehow just Fit or what, but I always wanted them to end up together. And by the end, I honestly wasn't all that bothered anymore by their relationship being built almost solely on destiny, which I guess means the writers did a good job of selling me their story.

At the core, this is a drama about two kind people who've experienced some heavy romantic disappointments in life being guided (or pushed, lol) towards each other and ultimately finding themselves the better for it. And I don't know about you, but that's a good story to me.

(On a side note, I have to say that the most emotional part of the drama was when our resident 'God's' job was done and he went about making his goodbyes. Uggggghhhhhh, that was a gut punch. I definitely got a little misty-eyed over it.)

[pemula] Awalnya agak ngebosenin untuk ditonton, tapi begitu mulai ketemu inti ceritanya baru mulai naik serunya.

Agak sulit untuk nyebutin kekurangan dari drama ini, selain suka dengan storynya yang seger, acting dari para castnya juga wajib diacungin jempol. Setiap mimik muka dibawa dengan ekspresif. Setiap episodenya juga diwarnai dengan bumbu konflik yang baru dan ga itu itu doang, Komedinya yang sangat hidup bikin drama satu ini jadi menarik, Belum lagi ada beberapa plot twist yang tidak mudah ditebak. Konfliknyapun cukup nusuk dan bisa ngebawa baper saya ketika nonton ini
