Just got a copy of It Started With A Kiss, on dvd with English subs. Now I am on the hunt for a copy of They Kiss Again, on dvd with English subs. I need region 1 or All Region. Please let me know if you all see one for sale. Thank you.

I have it now and beside myself with happiness! I am currently watching to make sure the subs work all the way through on every disc. So far, the first couple episodes' video quality actually looks crisp and better than what I have seen, when watching it on youtube and some other sites.

Thank you for the response. I am really enjoying the book, since I started reading again.

thank you for the response. Apparently it is a complicated question. One of the side storylines, that goes up to ch. 685, is included in series 1. However, series one only goes up to ch. 487 for the main storyline. Loving the book, and have barely been able to put it down, since I started reading again. I applaud the script writer though. I think they made the end of season one much more dramatic by changing the time line a bit.

Do you happen to know what chapter, in the novel, the season 2 material starts on? I forgot where I left off. I stopped reading after season 1 stuff ended because I didn't want to get too far ahead, but I am so anxious for season 2, I can't wait anymore.

Do you know, off hand, what chapter does the season 2 start on, in the novel? I can't remember where I left off, but stopped reading when I got to the ending of season 1 material + a little more, so I would know if Sang Sang was alive or not. I can't wait anymore, so I want to start reading the novel again.

Can someone tell me up to what chapter number does season 1 go to, in the novel?

Currently watching Ever Night for the 2nd time. I often think I enjoy the second watch through a drama or movie "more" than the first time. I love noticing all those little details, that I didn't know were meaningful, the first time through. This drama is no different. In fact, I have put all of my currently airing shows on hold while I voraciously marathon Ever Night. (normally, 2nd watch episodes are saved for those days, the dramas on my current watch list are not airing). I also remember people were saying things like "don't get attached to the lead actor, because he will not reprise the role in season 2" ... and I have to say, that took away some of the enjoyment of that 1st view. This time, I am not at all worried about it. I really like Dylan Wang and I know, as long as he and Song Yiren have good chemistry on screen, I will adjust to him as Ning Que very quickly, even if I do get attached to the "Ning Que" in the 1st season.

An English translation is available online at webnovel.com under the name "Nightfall". (If you do a google search, I am pretty sure there are other sites that also have it too, now)I was reading it there while season 1 was airing. I didn't want to get ahead of the story though, so I stopped. Think I might go ahead and try to pick it up where I left off... although, I might just go back and re-watch season one, instead.

Any recent updates on how smoothly filming is going or... a rough estimate of the date it will air???

They really pulled off keeping these heavy topics relatively light. The leads were great. I wasn't sure about the guy, at first, but he really grew on me, as the drama went on. I enjoyed it and looked forward to the next episode every week.

I've only found up to ep 11. Where can I watch 12 - 15?

interesting turn of events. When the sister was flipping through her old journal and his Polaroid was there, Oooo, I gasped. I was not expecting that. I feel a bit sorry for the conductor. He is definitely in a bad position now. I hope Do Hoon realizes that insomnia was a sign that repressing her bad memory was not healthy and helping her remember was actually in her best interest. I am so afraid that she will wake up with amnesia again and this time he stays away out of guilt.

"Why are you watching Itazura Na Kiss?" hahah... because it is so adorable that it is one of the most beloved manga and live action dramas around. You can guess that I am a huge Itazura Na Kiss fan. I have watched every version of the story, I can get my hands on. (the Taiwanese version is my all time fav.).
Of course, it is a comedy romance and really shouldn't be taken too seriously. However, I will address a couple of things you pointed out, giving another perspective on what is happening.
"Not only does she stalk the boy"
I think it is important as a viewer, to understand the culture of what you are watching/or to understand the rules of the fictional universe the story takes place in. Irie Naoki is not just an average boy. He is basically a celebrity in his school. There were plenty of girls "stalking" him. Kotoko was brave enough to confess, after being something like a fan. Remember the girl who changed colleges, got a job at the same place as him, and got him hired as a tutor for her younger sister, just to get near him. That was not Kotoko. After the letter incident, Kotoko is not just a random girl, she is practically his family member. (speaking of family members, his mom also follows him around, while disguised). Also, every time she thinks she thinks he is actually happily seeing someone, she stops/gives up.
"no matter how many times she was rudely turned down and embarrassed, she kept going"...
Kotoko was willing to give up on him several times, but every time she did, she got pulled back in... He, on more than one occassion, seems to strategically give her hope, when he thought she might actually lose her interest in him/stop. Plus, his mother kept feeding her with encouragement that she was the perfect girl for him.
You may see a lack of pride because she kept going back, when he was harsh or embarrassed her. What I see, is why she kept feeling like she had a reason to go back and a reason to like him.
(in addition to him being smart, handsome, a good speaker, and good at everything, in generally , of course)
Remember when she fell over with the love note, he asked if she didn't have anything better to do with her time? It seems from the beginning, that he was giving her a bit of much needed tough love. He constantly challenged and inspired her to grow, learn and become more self reliant.
You could tell that despite what he would say sometimes, he really did treat her as a peer/equal, too. More than anyone else, he was also influenced by her. More than anyone else, he listened to her. Even when he didn't say it, in words, that intimate feeling you get when you have a real conversation with someone, can not be mistaken.

no. I haven't found it yet.

You will see more Japanese characters, in general, with low self esteem. (not just female characters). It is a cultural difference. America especially and most western culture place so much importance on individualism and having a high self esteem, we even reward egotistic and narcissistic behavior. Japan places importance on collectivism and rewards humble behavior. In America, when something goes wrong, people often blame those around them or circumstances. ...Sacrifice those around you for your own benefit. In Japan, when something goes wrong, it would be normal for them to blame themselves first and take responsibility for it.... Sacrifice yourself for the benefit of the group.
... and she was just a young female college student from the country, who was in the city, and without a guardian, for the first time. She was quite petite and naive. I think it would have stranger, if she broke out the Kung fu fighting and took down a larger male attacker without some assistance.
+ It was meant to be a trashy romance that was catering to a taste for a certain male/female dynamic. I didn't expect her character to make to have too much emotional growth.

Same! Thankfully, it seems like it will not have a tragic end though.

That makes a lot of sense. I didn't remember seeing a scene about him panicking about that. I must have missed it... but even just him paying so much attention to her now makes more sense if this is what went down. I was thinking he didn't "do" anything but by not saving KI when he had a chance to, he still felt responsible for his death and YY's current situation(I am assuming she was a little more together before the accident). I am wondering if his father thinks he knows who is ultimately responsible and is getting in position(getting involved with the orchestra) to take revenge, or if he himself was somehow involved.

thank you.

When I started this, I did not realize it was still airing. I hate waiting to find out what happens next.
Not sure quite how to express this...
When I first started the drama, I didn't really know what to expect, but I thought with a name like Fake Affair, it would be a funny romcom with misunderstandings or contract relationships... but instead it is dealing with the serious topic of actual extra-marital affairs and illness. Given the topics, (and the fact that I normally avoid them like the plague)it should feel heavy to me, but it doesn't. It still feels sweet and hopeful. Every episode feels emotionally satisfying to me. Depending on how it ends, I believe I will be recommending this one to friends.
