Playful Kiss (2010)

ok i watched this drama long time ago and was dissapointed. The reason i decided to do review now was bcus i recently watched the anime version and it proved me that the story isnt as bad as it seems in k drama.Looking back and comparing, I am extremely dissapointed by KHJ's portrayel of Naoki. I liked his acting in the BOF however in this drama his acting was really poor and bcuz of that i hated the main character and the k-drama. After i watched the anime version i dont hate the main male lead (Naoki) that much. KHJ couldnt convey the anime/mangas character very well, didnt capture the depth of the original character and made it seem plain arrogant and thats it, compared to anime version. Overall this adaptation is a failure and i dont recommend it.Anime is much much better (even though i still got annoyed by the main female lead in both versions lool)

As long as you are awere its bad its actually fun to watch

The sky is mostly gray, the lighing is bad, the hair styles are auful, the acting is mostly bad and the caracters are lacking in depth and backsyory. They also run around doing awkward things.

The male lead is a total psykopath, with 0 EQ but 200 IQ, he is really mean all thrue the drama. The female lead is overwellmingly stupid, persistent and kind. I think the only really loveable caracters are the mom and little brother and his friend.

All this considered I did enjoy this drama. The plot reminds me a bit of a love so beautiful and put your head on my shoulder. The family is sweet and supprotive and this is an easy watch between heavy dramas. And a lessonin what type of relationships you should avoid.

I am actually a fan of the manga where it taken the story from so me liking this series is expected. First of, I was never really into with the whole remaking stuffs so it took me awhile to finally watch this! Secondly, I was also a fan of the second live-action adaptation of the manga so I kinda skeptical if I will really give my time to finally sit down and watch this. So one fine day when I'm feeling like a lost puppy looking for one lost love I decided to give this a try. And I'm really glad I watched this coz it's not bad afterall! I love how light the atmosphere and how beatiful it was shot! Love the chemistry between the leading actors.

About the acting aspect, Kim Hyun Joong is not the best actor out there but his role in this drama make him believable unlike his former role in BOF. The role fits his character. As for the rest.. All I can say they did a wonderful job! I think many of this drama viewers did not like the way Hana stalks/love Baek like she doesn't have a life at all but if you follow the manga, she's really like that!

Overall, it's a must watch to people who likes watching young romance.

This drama never bore me to death from the very beginning. Although it did get me irritated because of how Oh Ha Ni followed Baek Seung Jo around. She seemed like a stalker and it got me really irritated but I never stopped watching. As I continued to watch the drama it made me realize that Oh Ha Ni was a much better and stronger person than how she was in the beginning. You can tell that as the drama goes on, the characters change in their own way. Baek Seung Jo who was always cruel and criticized stupid people became more caring and learned to love Ha Ni. Ha Ni who was immature and childish turns into a hardworking and strong person. Even though she was often hurt because of Baek Seung Jo, she would always put on a happy face. She kinda inspired me in a way. In the end *****SPOILER ALERT***** she got into college, got into nursing school, and even got her man. It just shows that working hard pays off. I really loved this drama and it was super duper cute! Best version and one of the best dramas ever! PLAYFUL KISS FIGHTING <3333

Another one of the very first Korean dramas I watched was this one, and it had me laughing from the start. Perhaps I shouldn't have at times, but the absurdity of some situations for the leads was just too funny to pass up. Kim Hyun Joong was a surprise and welcome male lead.



The story itself was interesting to me. The leads couldn't have been more opposite if it killed them, yet the hidden intrigue the male lead seemed to have at having someone that optimistic following him around got me. Regardless of the shenanigans Oh Ha Ni get herself into countless times, and got Baek Seung Jo dragged into as well, her personality and Baek Seung Jo's cool exterior made the show never dull to watch. I have watched Playful Kiss several times over, and will continue to do so because it is one of my favorites.

At first I kept comparing this to ISWAK, but after awhile I stopped. The feel of the two series is completely different. Both have strengths and weaknesses. No use comparing.

I started watching this because after seeing Kim Hyun Joong in Boys Before Flowers I was curious about what he'd be like in other shows. I think I like him a lot better in this. He's a lot less stiff and he smiles more (which makes him even better looking than normal... just wish they had skipped the perm he has in the middle ^_^). I also really liked Jung So Min as Oh Ha Ni. She had great chemistry with her leading man and managed to play the part without getting to the annoying point.

I also liked most of the supporting cast. Ha Ni's friends were great. Joon Gu annoyed me at first but got better as the show went on. The parents were a bit over the top at times, but the cute moments made up for it. Seung Jo's little brother was great. And I LOVED the band Bye Bye Sea as Joon Gu's posse. Awesome!

Even though the storyline was kinda cheesy and predictable, it was done in an interesting, cute, and funny way. I loved all the little subtle moments with Seung Jo letting his guard down and showing how much he liked Ha Ni. Overall, a really great show! ^_^
