Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo

Yae, an unremarkable girl working in a café and living with a friend, finds herself unable to afford rent when her friend suddenly gets married, and she loses her job in the same day! It’s only when her boyfriend dumps her that she finally hits rock bottom. She’s at her wits’ end when her childhood friend Takumi suddenly reappears into her life. Takumi suggests that Yae take on a part-time job as his “fake wife” for the next six months. He has his reasons for wanting people to think he’s married. Yae has no other choice but to accept his proposal, and in return receives housing and living expenses for playing the role of his “fake wife.” So begins a “fake marriage” with a time limit. Unbeknownst to Yae, she was Takumi’s first love, even though she thinks of him as nothing more than a childhood friend. Takumi struggles awkwardly but earnestly to win Yae’s heart and find true love. Even though their marriage starts as a sham, will the day come when this couple can become something more?

They both have a cool, pokerfaced, 'attractive' male lead. And a girl who is a bit naive. both have happy endings with a lot of love. the difference is that itzaura na kiss is about school life, whereas cruel romance is between two people that are living in a big city and are a bit older. Both are cute and have funny and sad scenes.

Both dramas have a "perfect" ML and "mediocre" FL falling in love. Also the ML in both dramas is helping the FL with her studies and they are cohabiting.
In P&C they are both adults and start with a student-professor relationship while in InK they are in high school to university. There is also no contract marriage in Itazura.
I enjoyed both.

Both are about high school love and both girls are head over heals for the guys.

"Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo" é uma adaptação moderna de uma popular história de amor japonesa. A série segue Kotoko Aihara, uma estudante do ensino médio que é um pouco desajeitada e que acaba se apaixonando pelo garoto mais inteligente e popular da escola, Naoki Irie. Por uma série de eventos inesperados, Kotoko acaba morando na mesma casa que Naoki, levando a várias situações cômicas e românticas.

Assim como em "Okusama wa 18-sai", este dorama mistura romance com humor, enquanto explora os desafios e as alegrias de um amor jovem e inesperado. A série é leve, divertida, e traz aquele charme clássico de um bom dorama de comédia romântica, com personagens carismáticos e situações que certamente vão fazer você sorrir.

#Farofa

- kinda same vibes

Both of these Dramas depict a a clumsy girl chasing a rich, attractive and smart man. To accomplish her dreams of being with him, the female lead receives help from the male lead's family. Also, they show a large part of the life style of a married couple.

In both shows the leads are socially awkward outcasts. They also idolize their popular love interest.

Ayaka, who works at the bridal department at a hotel, has a beauty that everyone recognizes, yet her personality is the worst. Everyone calls her a "wicked woman" after the way she wraps numerous men around her finger. The one who sets his eyes on her is the hotel's new executive Togo, who is the son of a very powerful person of the town. What are the orders that this King-like man requests of her!?

Both are from the same show Okinawa is just a sequel to Love in Tokyo and a prequel to Itazura na Kiss - Love In Tokyo 2

It has same story line but it's only made in japan. Both versions come from the original japanese manga ''Itazura na Kiss''

Well...same Story. Both are based on the Manga "Itazura na Kiss". If u liked the movie you will like "Itazura na kiss-love in Tokyo" too. Love in Tokyo is my favorite version!

Both are adapted from popular shoujo mangas, with a confident, seemingly cold lead that pursues a shy female lead. Both have physical contact elements.

they give off the same vibe. the two main girls remind me of each other. the two main guys are jerks to the girl the majority of the drama.

Highly intelligent man who is extremely disciplined and unapproachable meets a girl who's his complete opposite. She is far from the brightest bulb---actually she's a broken bulb, highly emotional, but sweet and endearing. His IQ is genius level and he is able to memorize things on site. Lead female can't even speak Thai properly.

Much like in Itazura na Kiss the female character seems to embroil the lead male into a series of unfortunate events. All of which he needs to bail both of them out of. Perfect example---they need fresh water-- he ends up creating it out of salt water is similar to when Kotoko burnt the food and Naoki had to make dinner.

If you look at the picture; they made sure the image was reminiscent of ALL the Itazura na Kiss live-action posters ---Toey fits in perfectly, in physical features (if you look at the pic), with majority of the other girls who have revised the role of Kotoko Aihara.

All My Favorites listed in Order:
*Ariel Lin (Personal Fave-Everyone after copied her performance)
*Manaying Sushar (Brilliance--Just Wow!) <-Biggest Resemblance
<------ Toey is now here!
*Reina Visa
*Chuo Genie
*Miki Honoka

**I don't like the Kdrama version so it's not included in anything.

Thai Version - Kiss Me
Original Japanese version - Itazura na Kiss
Taiwanese - It Started With a Kiss (personal best)
Japanese Jdoramas - Itazura na Kiss - extended name (ex. Love in Tokyo
Japanese Movie - Mischievous Kiss
China - Say that You Love Me
etc...over and over and over remake.
