Release Date: Feb. 23, 2017 on iQiYi (two episodes every Thurs and Fri 22:00)
Personally I find the Thai version is the best of them all, though it wanders a bit a way from the original story.... The new Taiwan version Miss in Kiss might be my second. It's a bit more innocent, the male is cautious but not cruel. He tends to reveal his tenderness toward the female lead in stuttle ways, she may not always get him but the audience can see it.
I know they finished filming Miss In Kiss. Has anyone heard from a legitimate source if they will also do the…
It is only a Webdrama on netflix. It is played on the regular TV network in several places in Asia with a pretty high rating.... I would think so but then again the Thai version has been rumored to have a sequel for 3 years with still no official word. The chinese remake was done 2 years ago and has yet to air. Soooo...nothing is for certain.
This version of Miss in Kiss has had massive viewership with the power of netflix, so I would expect that there would be one eventually... especially with Dino and Esther becoming very close friends through the project.
Anyway, I was expecting to hear something by now about a sequel, but I don't speak mandarin so getting updated on what's coming can be delayed. Thanks for responding.
The story was well constructed for the most part with relatively little dragging. I found both male leads refreshing, even when they were being a bit selfish they didn't linger there. I loved the way they both interacted with seol and one another.
Seol (female lead) was over all sweet and funny but I wish had developed more depth in maturity as the story progressed. It's more or less the work of the script writer trying to stretch the story line, but she became a little annoying a few episodes before the end holding an unreasonable grudge on Hae for their father's past.
Now the antagonist female 2nd lead was just a witch as was her Seol's adopted sister. I try to find some measure of compassion most of the time for even the evil characters....by keeping in mind most hurt people hurt people, they are not simply born evil.... It is always nice when people have a revelation of remorse and grow up...but I couldn't find much grace for either of them in the end.
Ah well...in the end it is fiction and that is how the story goes... I would give it 8 out of 10 stars. The male leads may make it an 8.5.
I think this is the first time after watching more dramas than I can count, I couldn't digest it no matter how it was sliced....I didn't mind TT but YY was painful to watch. I kept watching thinking I would get into it but never did... Oh well...to each his own... on to the next one.
I read Love O2O after I watched it. LOVED IT! It is a rare thing to see a drama couple not get easily swayed by outside influences attempting to separate the relationship. I also find it admirable that as a boyfriend he ultimately honors her not to cross intimacy boundaries she isn't comfortable with even when they are living together. It is nice to see parents on both sides who are caring and supportive, even if it takes a moment for her dad to get on board with the program.
Boss and Me I also read and watched the drama. I enjoyed them both however I find Shan Shan's insecurity a bit annoyingly drawn out.... I want her to find some self confidence eons before she does. I find her a bit exhausting to watch by 70% in. She does redeem herself once she starts to fight to restore her family's honor in the drama.
Overall as far as CDramas go they are both on my top 5 right now.
I will have to watch My Sunshine.
They added 4 more episodes?? There was 36 eps and now 40 eps... I'm on ep 30 and I think 36 eps is enough,…
Agreed! Hari was an angel in comparison. I would have prefered to see more interaction between the leads. I think the audience would have warmed up to them more. My favorite episode was when LHZ and BHY are on the road trip together. I wanted to see more time with them one on one, especially after they became a real couple.
I suspect part of the time/length of the drama is arranged to meet the structure in which dramas operate under in China. It seems to me they have a 35-45 min 2 episode a night - 5 days a week set up a good amount of the time, where Korea has a 16, 20, 24 or 30 episode hour long drama twice a week. It was 14 hours of extra content from the Korean version - 40 - 45 min episodes = 30 hours total

It was a bit draggy at times...I FF a good amount when her friend would show up....
We didn't lose any of the story during the editing,..They basically omitted any scene repeating from the previous episode which would pop up after the intro music in the next airing. They would also remove the next episodes preview. The intro and exit songs were also different too. In my opinion more could have been removed and I wouldn't have missed it.
