Destined With You chronicles the story of a hotshot lawyer who has it all, but is haunted by a family curse. It turns out that the woman who is key to breaking this curse is none other than a seemingly ordinary civil servant.
In the drama, Jo Bo Ah (Tale of the Nine Tailed, Military Prosecutor Doberman) portrays Lee Hong-jo, a 9th-level civil servant and complaint solver at the Onju City Hall She always does her best despite suffering from complaints beyond imagination and is a person who is familiar with being alone.
As she suddenly becomes the owner of an old wooden box, she obtains a forbidden book that was thoroughly sealed 300 years ago. From there, she also holds the key to unlocking the curse of Jang Shin-yu.

As it becomes severe, he seeks help from Lee Hong-jo, the owner of the wooden box. He is desperate to break the curse passed down from generation to generation in his family.
Fated Love Story
After a couple of teaser posters, Destined With You drops the main poster showing the lead pair standing under the mysterious pink moon. Hong-jo holds a page from a book that is burning while Shin-yu is surrounded by sparkling lights.
On the poster, the text says: “Shall we have a destiny?” It draws attention to the relationship between them which has been going on for more than 300 years. Attention is focused on what kind of curse was placed on Jang Shin-yu, the ‘sacrificial lamb of the forbidden book’, and how it is intertwined with Lee Hong-jo, the ‘owner of the wooden box’, who is said to be the only one who can lift the curse.
Subsequently, the main trailer released captures a nostalgic preview of the past and present lives of Lee Hong-jo and Jang Shin-yu. Their past reflects a romance impossible to happen. At present time, Shin-yu boldly declares he owns his own fate and is resolute to make what he yearns for happen.
