The scenes with the kidnapper are seriously creepy! I do enjoy thrillers and physological dramas but I never expected those kinds of scenes in (what I thought would be) a romcom. It seems like they put a lot of effort into that character and that storyline, which is great! Although sometimes it feels so out of place. But I guess that without that storyline this drama wouldn't have too much of a plot....
I remember watching a couple of Thai dramas and the censorship in those are pretty funny as well. There are scenes when the character's are out drinking and all of their drinks are censored.
What I completely loved about Xiao Nai was that NOTHING could make him doubt his girlfriend. That couple was so strong, they didn't let jealous people affect their relationship and make them doubt each other. That is #relationshipgoals in all senses. Also, Xiao Nai wasn't really the cold type either which made him so much more likeable. He had his group of friends, was charming, kind, sweet, honest, loyal and the list could go on
I'm completely obsessed and in love with this story. My favourite version is easily It Started With A Kiss, I'm currently watching it for the third time. I'm also obsessing over the new Miss in Kiss, it is so much better than I had expected! Kiss Me is such a wonderful gem, so different from the other versions but still so goooood.
Episode 24 or 25 I believe... I can't believe that they didn't keep the kiss when Zhi Shu kisses Yue Qin when she's asleep at the hospital! When will we have our next kiss???
I'm currently abroad and because of that I've been able to watch Miss in Kiss on Netflix. But what will I do once I get back home? This drama is not available in my country :(((( The struggle!
ISWAK will forever be my favorite version. I´ve watched that version years ago when I first got into dramas.…
ISWAK was my first ever drama so I completely understand the feeling of nostalgia that you mentioned. I basically agree with everything that you just wrote. The version with Joe and Ariel is my absolute favourite, their chemistry was beyond this world. I also loved the Thai version soooooo so much. I just love this story, I love it so so much!
My list: 5. time jumps: because when there is a huge problem time jump is the solution for that problem; 4. second…
YES on your point 5 and 4. Whenever I see that "[insert number] months/years later" I just get so annoyed. And those 2nd leads that won't every give up... At first it's sad but after a while it just gets so repetitive and I don't feel sorry for them anymore because the one that they love never actually expressed any romantic affection for them at all and might even have told that person on several occasions that they are not interested.
I'm really curious about this adaption and am currently waiting for someone to post it with subs. ISWAK is my all time favourite story/drama and the taiwanese version with Joe and Ariel is my absolute favourite.
In the "Best Couple" category, I noticed that (at least for Good Morning Call, not sure about the other dramas) you could vote for both the actors and the characters. So it's the same couple. Is it meant to be that way or has there been a slight error?
But we can't speak about chemistry between couples and not mention Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin from ISWAK, right?
