The romantic couple "tear the story apart" makes netizens crazy, the groom is praised for being more handsome than the original

Serendipity's Embrace had a very favorable start when attracting a large audience looking forward to the film and discussing it enthusiastically. Most of the positive comments were for the visuals and natural interactions of the main couple Hoo Yeong and Hong Joo played by Chae Jong Hyeop and Kim So Hyun.

The content of the film is based on the famous webtoon Is It Fate? revolving around the story of Hong Joo (played by Kim So Hyun) - an animation PD who has a not-so-good past about her first love in high school, so she is skeptical about love. Meanwhile, Hoo Yeong (played by Chae Jong Hyeop) is the one who witnessed Hong Joo's past, he secretly loved Hong Joo but never confessed before going abroad. Meeting again 10 years later, Hoo Yeong still has feelings for Hong Joo while she is trying to avoid the disturbance of her first love. Thanks to the rather light and predictable plot, most viewers shared that they felt comfortable enjoying a romantic, gentle drama at the beginning of the week. The audience was divided that the couple standing next to each other was filled with the feeling of "first love at one time" when Hong Joo was "stupid" and somewhat fierce while Hoo Yeong was shy, always looking at her with indulgent, affectionate eyes.

Another plus point for the film is the youthful and excellent appearance of the main couple. Kim So Hyun is known as the "goddess of youth" because her visual is extremely suitable for student and youth school roles. So Kim So Hyun's appearance this time makes viewers moved when she exudes the pure first love vibe like when she was naive.

Even more impressive is actor Chae Jong Hyeop, even though he is 31 years old - an age that is difficult to "fit" into school uniforms, for him it is just a small matter. His high school boy image, bright face and soft boy smile made the online community crazy before the whole movie aired. Many viewers praised his appearance as being even more beautiful than the character in the original.
