Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo - A Timeless Live-Action Marvel for Manga Enthusiasts
"Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo" holds a special place in the hearts of manga enthusiasts and live-action lovers alike, and it's easy to see why. As someone who falls into both categories, this live-action adaptation quickly became a cherished masterpiece that I've rewatched at least five times. Not only did I delve into the original version, but I also explored its various adaptations in different countries.The story kicks off at a high school entrance ceremony, where we meet Aihara Kotoko, a high school student who might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but possesses a heart brimming with affection. Her world takes a life-altering turn when she sets her eyes on the handsome Irie Naoki. Instantly smitten, Kotoko falls head over heels for him, though she initially keeps her feelings hidden. However, she eventually gathers the courage to confess, only to be met with a harsh rejection from Naoki, who utters those unforgettable words, "I don't like dumb women."
The plot takes an unexpected twist when a meteorite wreaks havoc on Kotoko's house, prompting her and her father to seek shelter with her father's friend. Little does she know that this friend's house is also home to none other than Naoki.
What sets "Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo" apart is its ability to balance humor and emotional depth flawlessly. Kotoko's character, despite her perceived "dumbness," resonates with viewers because she mirrors the human experience. We all make mistakes, encounter setbacks, but ultimately, we find the strength to move forward, often with laughter as our companion. Kotoko embodies the transparent, outgoing spirit that brings joy and contentment to those around her. She represents the genuine, sincere self within us all.
Naoki, on the other hand, stands as Kotoko's polar opposite. He's reserved, even bordering on antisocial, and at times, he raises red flags when it comes to relationships. However, it's this very dichotomy that makes their journey so compelling. They grow together, discovering the unique qualities that make them compatible, despite their apparent differences.
At its core, "Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo" teaches us that love transcends initial impressions and societal norms. Naoki's affection for Kotoko deepens because of her authenticity and the happiness she brings into his life. It's a profound message that underscores the idea that true love sees beyond the surface and appreciates the beauty of a genuine, unfiltered soul.
"Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo" is a timeless marvel that captures the essence of manga while delivering a heartwarming live-action adaptation. With its humor, emotional depth, and a central couple whose journey from opposites to soulmates is a delight to witness, it's a series that lingers in your heart long after the final episode. If you're a fan of romance, comedy, and the enduring power of authenticity in love, this is a must-watch that will continue to charm audiences for generations to come.

ENJOYABLE
I'm not really into Japanese dramas, I'm more into kdramas but this one was recommended to me by one of my friends and so I tried it. By the first episode, I already enjoyed it... Idk how, but It just happened to be a very good story.I got very hooked to this drama that I even skipped a lot of my assignments just to watch this. The story is sooo good. It was well-written and The plot was very intriguing to watch. The characters are sometimes dumb but It's totally okay. Some kinda embarrassing moments too that gave me second hand embarrassments... but overall, it was a nice experience watching it.
I recommend you to watch it :))

A Classic JDrama
I honestly love this drama.Now I admit it's kinda cliche and has that whole cold, uninterested male lead and one-sided love from the female lead. Also the whole hate-to-love story (kinda). But I just love it so much.
The actors and actresses of every character make it such an enjoyable drama. They make everything the characters do very believable despite being exaggerated (like a manga come to life haha). It's just super enjoyable and easy to watch.
You stay rooting for Kotoko despite in real life I would be like "Girl give up" haha.

O suco de relacionamento tóxico
Então, eu assisti esse drama quando era mais nova, e na época não entendia as reclamações, mas hoje, com meus belos 21 anos, eu não só entendo, como sou uma das pessoas que critica toda a dinâmica entre esses personagens. Eu já li o mangá em que a série é baseada (Itazura na Kiss), e foi justamente após a leitura que me dei conta de quão lixo essa história é no geral.A única característica que a personagem principal tem é ser apaixonada pelo Irie, e anda atrás dele como um cachorrinho sem NENHUMA dignidade e senso de amor próprio. Eu realmente pensei que no fim ela iria mudar e virar uma pessoa mais independente, que dá suas opiniões, mas não, toda a vida dela gira em torno do Irie (ela se torna enfermeira só porque quer trabalhar do lado dele, que é médico).
O relacionamento deles é super abusivo, sendo que ele não faz nenhum esforço pra ser um bom marido. É extremamente egoísta e trata ela como sua propriedade, sem respeita-la nem um pouco (os diálogos expositivos podem dizer o contrário, mas não, ele não a respeita). Ele é um babaca do início ao fim, isso é só um pouco do que faz essa obra ser extremamente problemática, PRINCIPALMENTE pra o público que ela se propõe.
Esse drama é o próprio suco do relacionamento tóxico.

Во вторых, отмороженная вторая половина показала искренность чувств очень хорошо. И мальчик симпатичный, и секс присутствовал , было бы странно если ни-ни за два сезона то
Ну и друзья тут отменные, что старшее поколение, что младшее.
А еще там была серия, после которой я просто апплодировала стоя, потому что она показалась такой родной и знакомой. Вот не помню какая по счету, но во 2 сезоне, когда молодая семья с отцом поехали на могилу матери Котоко. И там их встретили родственники, в количестве...всей деревни Боженьки, простые люди везде одинаковые, что в Японии, что у нас.

meu traço tóxico é amar itazura na kiss
Vocês vão me desculpar mas amo itazura na kiss, acho a kotoko uma fofa e apesar de algumas pessoas só acharem ela uma tonta (coisa que ela realmente é mas poxa vamos dar um desconto pra bichinha) ela tem uma personalidade muito doce tbm, o oposto do irie-kun claro, que o principal traço da personalidade é ser frio. Eu assisti a bastante tempo e reassisti algumas vezes também. Dá pra passar um pouco de raiva assistindo mas as vezes tudo que a gente precisa é um dorama bestinha pra surtar com as mínimas interações entre eles. Eu assisti as duas temporadas e é muito fofinho, obviamente eu queria muitooo uma terceira temporada, é uma pena não ter. Depois que assisti acompanhei os atores no Instagram e também vi algumas entrevistas que eles deram na época, são realmente muito fofos.Was this review helpful to you?
