🌙 Official Trailer Overview

The first trailer for Destined with You (2025) opens like a dream half-remembered — moonlight spilling across ancient scrolls, a faint heartbeat beneath the wind, and the echo of a promise whispered centuries ago.

Rowoon’s voice narrates softly:

“If fate tied us together once… will it do so again?”

Cut to modern-day Seoul, where Jang Shin-yu (Rowoon) is now a lawyer haunted by inexplicable visions — flashes of temples, lanterns, and a woman’s silhouette bathed in red petals. Across the city, Lee Hong-jo (Jo Bo-ah), an earnest civil servant, uncovers an old spellbook sealed in the archives of the city hall — the same book that once cursed their souls.

From that moment, time bends.


🪄 Trailer Highlights

  • 🌸 Opening Scene: A crimson-bound spellbook trembling open under candlelight, whispering ancient incantations.

  • 💞 Meet-Cute Reimagined: A rain-soaked encounter where Shin-yu instinctively calls her by a name she doesn’t remember.

  • ⚖️ Dual Timelines: Elegant cross-cuts between Joseon-era flashbacks and the neon glow of Seoul nights.

  • 🌕 Emotional Peak: The pair trapped in a temple as petals fall like snow — a silent plea, a tear, and a spark of magic reigniting the curse.

  • 🔮 Final Shot: Hong-jo lifts her hand toward him; the world fractures into light — and the words “Some destinies can’t be rewritten.” fade in.


💖 Tone & Style

The series balances mythic romanticism with modern realism — lush cinematography, slow-motion intimacy, and poetic voiceovers that echo its central theme: love as both salvation and curse.

Director Nam Ki-hoon crafts the visual language with painterly grace — glowing runes etched on skin, mirrored reflections symbolizing parallel fates, and transitions where centuries dissolve into moments.

🎵 Original Score: ethereal strings and soft piano motifs by composer Kim Jun-seok (Misaeng, Kingdom) — blending melancholy with wonder.


💫 Themes

  • Reincarnation & Memory: What if your soul remembers what your heart has forgotten?

  • Destiny vs. Choice: Is fate a blessing — or a prison built by love itself?

  • The Power of Forgiveness: Breaking the curse means facing the pain that created it.

  • Love Beyond Time: Two hearts defying centuries to meet again under the same sky.


💎 Performances

  • Rowoon delivers a layered performance — torn between logic and longing, charm and sorrow.

  • Jo Bo-ah shines with quiet resilience and emotional vulnerability, grounding the fantasy in raw humanity.

  • Ha Jun adds depth as a rival entangled in the curse’s origin.

  • Yura’s mysterious role hints at the catalyst of the past — a guardian, or perhaps a betrayer.
