Wow 8.8 seems like a lot of people differ your opinion. But I'm genuinely curious why you think this show deserves…
I found it quite boring, they overcompensated with the romance scenes making it redundant in my opinion. I felt like the main selling point of the show was Yang Yang and Dilraba and nothing else. The beginning where Yu Tu was teaching JingJing how to play that game felt like an advertisement and could be skipped. Overall, a lot of parts could be skippable.
I've been waiting for this show for nearly a year and my expectations were super high
I already watched all the versions of this, i saw a few comments and decided to say the differences between then,…
Yes!! I've rewatched Itazura na kiss so many times, and I always come back to this version. You can really see that ZhiShu loves XiangQin. Their first kiss scene at the school party is a testament to it!! His facial expressions when he kissed was of shock. You could see that he kissed her on impulse after she said she wouldn't pursue him anymore and find a guy who is a. thousand times better than him.
I also agree with your comment about mischievous kiss. I've rewatched it six times, and I still can't find the point in which he fell for her. I think it's when they stay at his apartment, but he doesn't express his feelings well.
As for the other versions, the Korean one should've been longer - they had to put in a lot of stuff within 16 episodes and completely changed the plot. I enjoyed the Thai one because the male lead liked the girl from really early, but there was a lot of angst between them. If he liked her, he could've confessed a while back, and they changed the plot a lot making it seem a bit different.,
Miss in Kiss was awful.. I don't know why Taiwan wanted to remake the legendary ISWAK with that. The acting of the leads was awful. The only thing I remember from that show is the second ML because he was the only one that could act.
With the Taiwanese movie, I genuinely enjoyed it and even watched it in the cinema when it came out. I liked the flow of the story, but once again, it was too short. I don't think ItaKiss should be adapted into a movie. the story is so unique, and there's a lot of character development that needs more time
As for the manga/anime - I don't really like them. Irie was lowkey abusive, slapping Kotoko multiple times..
I was really surprised to see Playful Kiss as a comfort drama recommendation. Its more of like a guilty pleasure…
I'd recommend watching the Taiwanese adaptation of Playful Kiss - it's so much better and you can see that the ML loves the FL. They recently uploaded the drama for free in HD on YouTube:)
I'm still shocked to this day. Miura Haruma was a part of my childhood. I remember having his pictures saved on my phone and posted on my bedroom walls. I remember constantly researching to see what new movies, dramas, and musicals he would be a part of. I met him through Kimi ni Todoke, but his role in Boku no Ita Jikan has a big place in my heart.
It's reaching the one year anniversary of his death and I still can't forget the 18th of July 2020. I'm glad his legacy continues as his movies continue to be released.
