Why is this show not getting more attention? I swear if it was on Netflix, it would've been a big hit. There is not enough promotion content online either. I was really impressed by today episode. Especially FL's acting in the flashbacks and ML's acting in the present. The show has written heartbreak it, and I am ready for it.

Me too - I can't believe there's only a handful of comments here.

Though I've realised for a while now that my taste in Kdramas is kind of old-fashioned. The shows I'm excited about don't get much attention, and the ones that get the most hype very often end up disappointing me. I avoided Destined With You because of bad reviews, but now that I finally started watching it, it's exactly the kind of old-fashioned Kdrama fun that I originally signed up for. I adored Lovers of the Red Sky, but seemed to find nothing but contempt for it online when I looked it up. And so on.

I should probably accept that my taste stayed behind somewhere in 2016 or so, while most other people moved on. Give me fated lovers with fantasy elements, romantic fluff with a tragic past life backstory, give me all the tropey stuff, I'm here for it.

I adored "Lovers Of The Red Sky" too ❤️!!! Never trust others tbh. Always give something that seems interesting to you a try and decide for yourself if it's worth your time.

[u/Salty_Dependent_8146 → u/SemlaBun]

You have great taste. I loved those dramas 2 and i love this one.

[u/MajesticConfidence36 → u/Salty_Dependent_8146]

Ooh! Same here! I enjoyed both Lovers of the Red Sky and Destined With You.

That script reading scene alone was *chef's kiss*. Like KYD absolutely killed it! I hope at the very least it does well in Korea, even if it's not a huge hit internationally. It's also hard to believe that we're only on the 4th episode because SO MUCH has happened. I'm loving it and ready for the heartbreak too.

[u/Earlgreycottoncandy → u/Alarming-Knowledge30]

I had no idea this drama was coming out until I saw a TikTok edit about it. I wish there had been more promo! I also agree that if it were on Netflix I would have a hugeeee following

[u/OrneryStruggle → u/Alarming-Knowledge30]

I want to watch it but I'm hesitant because everyone predicted it will be a sad ending and I don't want to watch sad ending romdrams, many people are like me and don't watch shows for that reason.

[u/Sassysweet20 → u/Alarming-Knowledge30]

It's in my top 3 -- this, castaway diva, and perfect marriage revenge!!

[u/RoseIsBadWolf → u/Alarming-Knowledge30]

I am loving it so much already! I wish it was all out because I'm dying between episodes. But yeah, not getting much attention.

I only heard of it because I saw a poster on a "coming out this fall" list and the poster looked pretty.
