Nope. But abuse in a different way, though the ML learns from his mistakes quit early.

But I race-watched it, just to see for sure, and *gasp* the mom's situation makes him leave the FL, and get married with the crazy second lead! This state lasts for years and while he didn't like it and wasn't happy, he genuinely tried to make the marriage work. Nope, I hate forced breakups and especially selfish/ stupid parents.

I have hope!!! \ ( * * ) /

Oh T_T

Why? I'm waiting to see the ending before I watch. Why will the ratings fall? What happened?

If you work in an Asian company with Asian people (which I do), then hugs and kisses are NSFW lol.

Is there any infidelity between the leads? Do they break up or separate? I like smooth, supportive couples lol, so I wanna know.

Whyyy??? Don't Chinese drama writers understand yet that people want a good ending, and that they just ruin the whole experience for everyone if they give a sad ending (especially when the novel has a happy ending!). I'm so disappointed. The writers let us down time and time again. *sad*

I still have hope for a happy ending, OMG!

Is this the complete story? Or is there room for a season 2?

It is extremely worth watching. This became my favorite so quickly. Before marriage was setting the stage, and it was so interesting. After marriage it became even more awesome. This story does not lag at all. I actually wanted more. After marriage was the best for me.

yaayyyyy

This starts out slow and I thought it was a safe drama to watch anywhere ( like at work). Then suddenly, after marriage, the whole thing becomes suddenly risque! Total lovey dovey feels and major cuddle and intimate scenes.
I LOVE IT!! ♡♡♡
But NSFW. ♡♡♡♡♡

I'm thinking of watching this, but I hesitate with Emperor romances because there's just too many women for me to actually believe the romance. My modern mindset goes to war with my suspension of disbelief.
I want to give this a try, because it's funny. However, is there and Empress? And how many concubines does the Emperor have? Please spoil me, anyone?

Thanks. You're not. I haven't started watching yet

Please? I would love to watch it again with good subs.

Itazura na Kiss was first a Japanese manga. A Japanese story, written by a Japanese woman. It's not a copy of the Korean version.

Still the best and most true to the manga.

hahahaha!!!

I love all versions of this show (Except the Korean one). Eager to see it! China does romance better - more skinship lol, and the people actually tr to face their feelings. I wonder if it will be the same?

I liked your synopsis a lot. Please spoil me: what episode did they get married? I'm a sucker for married couples. There's just a different level of intimacy when the show is about a married couple.
