I personally liked this drama, however it also seemed too short for the concept. It's a beautiful drama to watch when you want to relax as it is short. I loved the concept of the Gods of Destiny and how they influence the human lives but I'd have loved to learn more about their world, it seemed as if everything was just brushed through as it was a short drama of just 10 episodes of an average of 25 minutes each. If their stories were shown more detailedly as a longer drama, I think this drama would have been better, especially the flashbacks, and the relationship between the Gods of Destiny, how their world works in depth, how they come to be and more. I personally feel this concept deserved a longer drama to do justice to it.

The cast may not have done an exceedingly great acting but it was still nice to see, they did well considering they haven't done in major roles previously or acted in many dramas. I kind of wish there would be a sequel or a remake of this drama but longer to provide for the in depth view of it!

I really liked this drama otherwise, some of the lines were very catchy and I loved the OST as well; in my opinion, it fit the drama and highlighted its vibe well! Like many viewers, I too found parallels to the drama Goblin, especially in the very first episode where the two Gods of Destiny had a scene wherein they walk in a tunnel which was very similar to the now infamous Goblin and Grim Reaper walk haha! Goblin was a rather hit for most part and I kind of feel this drama would be too if it would be presented better. On this note, I also feel that my dissatisfaction on this drama came with my high expectations, I read that it was written by Kim Eun Sook (writer of dramas- Goblin, Mr. Sunshine, DOTS, King: Eternal Monarch) and I looked forward to something that came with the same intensity if not better, it was only afterwards that I realised, the team consists of rookies and that's another reason why I think the drama did fairly well for that!

The story of Shin Ho Yoon and Go Che Kyung is bitter-sweet, with the play of 'fate' in the drama, that is something that you expect. The circumstances and world created by the writer puts the two characters in a hard situation, almost with a love that cannot be completely fulfilled. The drama ends with an open ending leaving it to the viewer to decide what happens next yet it's over a positive event. I also enjoyed the characters, Myung and Samshin and their stories, the story of Samshin is another story I'd have liked to know. There were moments in the drama where I felt like it lost a certain continuity, some of the scenes left without a proper closure and once again, I blame it to the short episodes.

Overall, I'd say it was "A bittersweet yet warm and lovely drama that you can watch in a few hours! If you love the fantasy-romance genre and are looking for a light drama, definitely try watching 'Scripting Your Destiny'."
