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.

where did you watch this?

Is this ever coming out? Have they started filming it yet?

Since the whole series is about a girl with amnesia finding her memory, I am surprised you are watching at all.... and even if a person dies, she still has amnesia.

I am really worried right now. Please say they are not killing off a character midway through the drama.

He used his name to jog her memory, I think. ... Well, at first I think it was to see if she would have a reaction. Originally he thought she might be faking the amnesia, I believe.

I am a big believer in not wasting my time on dramas I don't love. I often drop dramas mid 1st episode. If I get further and it starts losing my interest, I give it one more week to pull me in again. I rarely put things on hold. From there, I usually go straight to drop, if I am not loving it. Hold is the kiss of death for me. I know if I am in the mood for a drama, I will pick something new before going back to a drama too boring for me to finish in the first place. lol. There are a few exceptions... one being City Hunter. I dropped that one, during the 1st episode, not once but twice. I only tried the 3rd time because it was recommended highly by someone I trusted. She told me to at least give it a couple episodes. I think it was around ep 3 that it had completely caught my interest.

Oooo, really enjoying the lead couple's story. I love complicated relationships and this is definitely one. Looking forward to tomorrows episode. I wonder if the tone will start to change now.

One of the things that Kdramas do best is mixing genres. It has definitely had a romcom feel, so far... but the beginning narration told you that This is not a romance, it is a journey. I personally love complicated love relationships, so I am so shipping the lead couple even if she did killed his brother. I was a major fan of Let's Eat and I get why you would make the comparison, since one of the main lead's was also a suspect during that. I think this one has a little more emphasis on the mystery than LE did though. I personally still have too many suspects to feel like I have it all figured out. Other than the leading man and Maestro, I am not familiar with any of the other actor/actresses... but so far, I really like the lead actress. It didn't even occur to me that acting might not be her main gig.

Wow! I am never really sure what a good viewership number is. If that is high, it is very well deserved. I assume it was the director's decision to do that slow mo walk toward the camera/or still on the "watcher", so atm I am giving him credit for it... who ever it was, Genius! It was good all round with soundtrack, acting, directing, and although it got a little messy at times, the writing too. I will definitely recommend this drama.

I don't remember who the person was that got killed. Do we know the significance of that? It was that prosecutor that did it, right? Because the new organization is supposed to be a joint effort with the prosecutors office, it makes sense to me that the next big bad will be a prosecutor, if there is a season 2... what do you think?

I definitely noticed that Jdramas tend to be darker/less naive/more jaded in their outlooks, than their Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese counterparts.
