Playful Kiss Episode 16

Former favorite drama that did not age well.

This was the first K-Drama I ever watched so that's why I've rated it so high. There would have been a time where this was an automatic 10 stars because it really was great compared to the other dramas I had seen at the time, but now I've seen too many great dramas to give this 10 stars. However, if this frustrating drama about an adorable, plucky young woman falling in love with a very smart and cold young man was not so addictive, I never would have started watching dramas in the first place.

However, if I were rating this drama for the first time today, it would be more like 6 stars for me. Oh Ha Ni is still adorable, but watching her chase after a boy who so obviously didn't like her, is too annoying. And I'm not annoyed because he didn't like her, he had a right not to like her, I'm annoyed because she wouldn't respect that he didn't like her and let it go.

But even though her unwillingness to let him go frustrated me, I was still very happy when she got what she wanted in the end. The girl worked hard and got her man, and he was nice to her after a while.
