It's how the story unfolds that draws us in. until events unfold that give her small bits of hope, like crumbs left on the ground to follow a path. There are very slight differences but the core story remains the same: girl likes boy who could not care less about her. At any rate, I really enjoyed both versions.
PLAYFUL KISS ENG SUB EP 5 SERIES
That series was undoubtedly influenced by this South Korean version, which was done first. I've seen the story before titled "Mischievous Kiss: Season 1 and Season 2," done by the Japanese. I recommend this to everyone who wants romance, and also who wants to see something about school, friendship and growing up.Currently on Netflix (2016) this series is known as "Playful Kiss" for US viewers. Music: I liked the op, it was just perfect for this drama, very japanese style.Īlso the other songs of the ost are good and suitable for the drama. Kinchan was portraied better than the korean version: funny, immature but also mature when it comes to be like that.
I liked the other characters too, both families, and the friends. Speaking of the age incompatibility between Honoka and Yuki, Yuki said himself he thinks Honoka is very mature to be 16, he didn't feel the age differences at all, and I think so. Most of all, I could really feel the change between the firstepisodesKotoko and the lastepisodesKotoko. She's 16, ok, but she is good to be a 16 yo girl! Her exaggerated expressions were part of the script, in almost every comedy japanese doramas there are this kind of expressions. Anyway, it is a good and fresh character that makes you smile.ĭespite of what everybody says, I liked Miki Honoka. I love her because she never gives up, but I hate her because she is a little bit too much in stalkering Naoki.
Kotoko is a character I love and hate at the same time. I think it is something that is in the manga too, but well, he is just perfect this way. The only thing that I have to point out is that at the end his character changes too fast, and it seems a little weird. I mean, you have the feeling the actor is doing a great job because you can feel the cold-and-warm-at-the-same-time heart of Naoki.
PLAYFUL KISS ENG SUB EP 5 PROFESSIONAL
I liked him better than the korean one, because I felt like he was more professional and more like the real Naoki. Naoki was good good looking and well played by Furukawa Yuki. It is a cute and sometimes moving story about love and about growing up.Įven though some episodes are boring, it is not difficult to watch since you fell for the characters. The plot The plot is nice and the things that happen not so unreal. I made some considerations thinking also of the korean version. I never read the manga but I know the mangaka's style I can say I liked this very much but there are also things I'd like to point out. Not because korean or taiwanese versions are not good, but because there are some things just japanese culture can express when it comes to manga/dorama adaptations. Rewatch Value 7.0 I was planning to see this since when it came out.įor series made out of mangas, I think japanese versions are better. I'm really glad it got a second season even if I already know how it's going to end but the drama's amazing characters and its sweet aura will definitely manage to keep me interested throughout its second run. And again, that was exactly what I expected from it. The drama has its fun moments, not to the point where I'd like, laugh out loud or anything but enough to make me smile and feel good when watching them. Still, loved them both together and individually. I loved their chemistry, even if (no) thanks to the author, Irie Naoki's character is difficult to understand (to the point you just want to shake the hell outta him) and Aihara Kotoko's one is way too dumb to not be frustrated with her at some point. Now yes, the over the top acting (especially the main actress) was kinda off-putting at first but once I got past it, I really got fond of the characters and the main couple. INK Love in Tokyo managed to still be interesting to me even though I knew the plot (and its twists) by heart. well, not so good actors and even though I love the story, I couldn't help but being hella bored while watching Playful Kiss. The taiwanese one was way too long and therefore was boring at times and the korean one. I'm a huge fan of the anime version and I have seen both taiwanese and korean drama versions and I gotta say INK Love in Tokyo beats them both. Now it's not a masterpiece either, but INK Love in Tokyo has a good plot, lovable characters and an overall aura of lightness and it was exactly what I expected from it. No melodrama, no tears just for the sake of crying. Watching Itazura na Kiss was a really sweet experience. Rewatch Value 8.0 There's something about japanese dramas that korean ones can't seem to have.
