Acting/Cast- The leads did a great job in thier role. The actress that played Oh Ha Ni acted well as the immature stalkerish girl to a grown up person who knows what they want. I loved KHJ in BOF but disliked his character in PK. He did a great job acting as the snobby emotionless Baek Seung Jo. BSJ really got on my nerves though. He never showed enough emotion to Ha Ni which made thier relationship in the end really strange. Hated his character!! The supporting cast was funny and served thier purpose.
Music- Some cool music nothing too in your face.
Overall- Could have been written better but the end was a welcome surprise.

I really luv the mother from the get go she was like another Oh ha ni, taking pictures every chance she gets and spreading gossips @ skool lol. the Window scenes where every nice, giving a look inside both characters and how they deal with situation they both face.

I don't give bad reviews to dramas because how bad a drama can be but there is always something interesting in each drama, BUT This is HORRIBLE! I must say if you can't handle watching a senseless girl chasing total Jerk (i don't understand why in the world he is so arrogant) then it's a warning DO NOT WATCH IT!!! It's going to be total waste of your time.
I almost wait half of a drama that please give female lead her senses back BUT NO..why they do so? How will they able to proceed this drama.
All the time that male lead humiliates her and when she tries to stop chasing him, he kisses her,and she again fall for him. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL I AM WATCHING?!!!
I got frustrated and dropped it.
Don't waste your time for this nonsense storyline .

Strange and distorting social relations drama
The drama is enjoyable and you can say that it draws you in, but the concept itself is strange. The main character is literally obsessed with her boyfriend and acts like a creep. The very fact that she is rejected for such a long period of time and still follows him, literally follows him, is abnormal. The only explainable aspect (because the character and attitude towards the main character is terrible) is the appearance of the main character XD. Even for a drama about teenagers and later students, it is very childish.Was this review helpful to you?
Coming back to the drama, the plot is the same old. It did kind of start to drag on in the end though. The acting by the female lead was much better than the acting by the male lead, but KHJ and his killer smile :D.
His mom was the best part of the whole drama. She was absolutely hilarious.

1. I don't like it how the main female was portrayed she wasn't even that dumb or stupid like she was suppose to be at all. Plus, she wasn't even that obsessed with him at all either.
2. Kim Hyun Joong's acting was terrible. he didn't suit playing noaki at all because he wasn't even a little bit that cold to her compared to the other verisons. I don't know if it was because I was to in love with the japanese anime at the time,but he didn't do it justice at all.
3. The girl who was playing Hae Ra was suppose to play either Sahoko or Naoki's fiance,but they for some reason decided it was a great idea to combine both the character and make her play both. Instead of getting another actress to play the other character like the rest of the versions which was to me lazy.
4.The story was too rushed all the scenes was all over the place and it was hard for me to keep up. When some of the scenes didn't happen in their correct order like in the anime,so it left me confused. Also, their was some unnecessary scenes like when Hani got mad at baek seungjoo and left the house,but later admitted her fault and came back home. Waste of time
5.It didn't stay true to the original or at least try. Their was also not enough comedy in it, it was like watching a sad documentary in school where just are not supposes to laugh or get you entertained.

Gets repetitive and annoying
At some point you expect some character development, and by episode 10, OHN's stupidity and stalking tendencies got extremely annoying and unbearable, especially when everything felt like an exact repeat of the earlier episodes. I liked the moments where OHN got tired of BSJ and finally said she was giving up—I just wish that these moments lasted for more than ten minutes before she ran back to him. That was a big reason I liked episode 13 (post-marriage meeting) because that lasted longer.Another thing that makes this super problematic appeared during the college years, when OHN planned her entire career and future around BSJ's. For someone like OHN who seemed to know who she was, this lack of identity and independence was just one step too far.
A lot of scenes started annoying me as they went on, too. OHN's clumsiness and stupidity and apparent lack of ability in ANYTHING got very tiresome. OHN's tennis scenes pissed me off, especially. I wish there was more character development and growth on her part as an individual. I wish there was more growth for BSJ too, and he addressed his mother directly about what she did when he was younger—I'm not sure why that part was talked about as "trauma" and made out to be such a huge deal when it was never going to be resolved.
Honestly, a lot of characters were annoying in this, and it seemed like many of them were exaggerated in some way. BSJ and OHN were okay, obviously, but Bong Joon Gu was also horribly desperate and irritating. Of course, I liked Eun Jo and BSJ's mother, but mostly as comic relief. I liked OHN's two friends as well, but I just wish they had more screentime and personality than just being the people who OHN always ran to to talk about her boy problems.
Plot-wise a lot of things are questionable, like the random and rushed marriage (that nobody even questioned) and the sub-plot of the guy who suddenly liked OHN who never showed up again after two or three appearances.

my first kdrama i've ever watched
I think i'm not the only one who watch this series as a kdrama beginner. I watched it for the first time 12 years ago. Since then, I've been addicted to korean drama. I've been re-watching this series for nth time. I often rewatching this whenever I need a stress reliever.The drama remains classic and legend. This drama is perfect for you who want classic romance-comedy drama, need a light drama because it's easy to watch, or you who just miss the old days. I can say that this is the OG romcom kdrama.
The character is still iconic. Even you watch Jung Somin in many projects, you can deny that Oh Hani is very iconic. It's a shame that Kim Hyunjoong's career isn't durable, but Baek Seungjoo too remains iconic.
If you ask me if this drama still relevant now? I honestly say NO. I guess it will have bad criticism if it releases in this era. I also think that it's just a classic romcom who give me memories of me enjoying kdrama in my teenagers day, but as an adult I can say that it really has many problems in characters and story. But yeah, I just want to let it be a good memory and I really enjoy of the comedy trope in this classic work.

OK i'm going to throw a scenario out here for you guys, do you ever have a drama that you felt guilty you have not watched yet that was me watching this. Playful Kiss was really great like I have no reason why i should not have watched this sooner. Story:
The Basic premise around this story without going through into main spoiler territory is main female lead's house gets destroyed and moves into main male lead house. The story does get really better as the drama goes on. The romance did not feel rushed to me which is a really nice thing not to go into this drama worrying. The whole story as a whole i give a 8.5.
Acting/Cast:
I be rally honest this drama acting was great because of Kim Hyun Joong. Kim Hyun Joong was great in Boys Over Flower, and he is one of my favorites that i will watch anything of his. Jung So Min was pretty great as Oh Ha Ni she tried really great. The other cast was fantastic all around. Acting/Cast I give an 8.
Music:
OK the ost for this show actually is really fantastic i listened to it before writing this because we all have those moments that we listen to the ost after finishing a drama. The music i will give a 9.
Rewatch value/ Recommend:
Would i rewatch this? Simple Answer yes. I would love to go back to rewatch this because of Kim Hyun Joong because he one of my faves. I would recommend Playful Kiss to people who love Boys Over Flower, and or just starting getting into k dramas. My rewatch Value is an 8.
Overall:
Overall I give Playful Kiss a 9, I feel like a 10 would be great but there were episodes where I kinda flt a little bored (but that just me).
