Destined With You Episode 1 Recap
The first episode of the show began with an introduction to Lee Hong-jo (Jo Bo-ah), a righteous and dutiful civil servant who gets transferred to Onju City Hall’s parks maintenance department. While Hong-jo has a hard time adjusting with her new team, she takes on the major responsibility of the demolition of a haunted shrine after the death of a YouTuber at the deserted place.
As for Jang Shin-yu (Rowoon) there’s a mystery curse affecting him. While a red hand haunts him, it’s also revealed that he’s suffering from a genetic disorder that may affect the senses in his hands and legs. The answer to his pain and suffering though lies in a mystery wooden box that is hidden at the shrine.
After meeting a shaman who used to take care of the shrine before it became an abandoned location, Shin-yu learns that only the owner of the mystery box can help him save from his condition that person is Hong-jo. After starting off on the wrong foot at the beginning of the episode when they have an unexpected meeting at the shrine, Shin-yu reaches out to an upset Hong-jo outside the city hall and offers to help her but doesn’t reveal that he needs her help too.
