terrible acting, okay chemistry, predictable plot, really annoying script, and a TON of cheese is what makes up Playful Kiss. Got through 3 and a half episodes before I had to drop it. Not recommended.
I'm surprised there are a lot of bad reviews for this drama. It definitely has its flaws (like episode 13 was almost a complete drag out of episode 12 [-_- had to skip almost all of it] and Tao Le Si, do all of us a favor and STOP CRYING!!] but the OST is incredible (dreamy, dreamy Aaron Yan) and the script isn't completely cliche so you can't expect every twist and turn they take. The chemistry between the main couple wasn't that bad, either. Aaron Yan's acting is AMAZING between switching his two roles, I was impressed. :^D
