Amor Fati (Korean: 아모르 파티) is a South Korean television romantic drama series directed by Bae Tae-seop for SBS. The series, starring Choi Jung-yoon, Ahn Jae-mo and Bae Seul-ki, is a healing drama about two women. For one, 'family' is everything, and for the other 'success' is all.[1] It was premiered on SBS TV on April 12, 2021, and aired on weekdays at 08:35 (KST) for 120 episodes.[2]

Incidentally Amor Fati was the last morning soap opera aired on South Korean television. As after three years of being unable to rate above 10%, SBS announced on September 14, 2021 that it would abolish the 30-year old time slot and expand its daytime news and lifestyle programming in its place.[3] KBS1, TVN, KBS2 and MBC had abolished the daytime drama time slot in 2009, 2015, 2019, and 2020, respectively.[4]

Synopsis[edit]

Amor fati is a Latin phrase meaning 'love of fate' or 'love of destiny'. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche quoted it as his formula for human greatness.[5]

Amor Fati is a healing drama, which depicts the resetting of lives of its characters who rise up from despair. A woman to whom her family is everything, gets a shock of life when she learns about affair of her husband to a woman to whom success is everything. The story of the series tells their battle and how her spirits rise from despair with the help of another man going through similar situation.
