Acclaimed
filmmaker Park Cheol Su presents a fresh variation on the
Korean melodrama in the Chinese-Korean co-production TV
drama My Destiny. Set in both China and South
Korea, the drama tells a compelling tale about love and
betrayal amid the dreams of youth and the loss of
innocence. Newcomer Korean actress Yoon Joo Young, popular
Chinese actor Calvin Zheng Guolin (Family, The Legend
of Hero), and Korean actor Shim Ji Ho, who starred in
director Park's film Green Chair as well as hits
like Stained Glass and A Frozen Flower, form
a confused romantic triangle in this heartwrenching drama.
Other than the unique cast and production background, My
Destiny stands out from other series with the topic of
cross-cultural romance and unique storytelling devices
like using alternate dream sequences to reveal the
characters' true sides and unvoiced confrontations.
Chinese
college students Jia Ying (Yoon Joo Young) and Tang Hao (Zheng
Guolin) are the perfect couple in everyone's eyes. Both
coming from humble family backgrounds, they've persevered
together in the city, and look ahead to marriage and
better days after graduation. Things seem to be going well
when Jia Ying finds a promising job as a translator for a
Korean firm and Tang Hao enters the corporate world, but
the two begin to drift apart. Blinded by his ambitions,
Tang Hao starts to change after meeting willful rich girl
Zhou Lan (Fu Xinyin), who's determined to steal Tang Hao
away. Purehearted Jia Ying tries hard to hold on to love
in the face of Tang Hao's lies, and a burgeoning
relationship with her kind boss, Hong Ming (Shim Ji Ho),
who stays by her side through the tough times.
