Okay so obviously this drama is based on Itazura na Kiss and is not 100% original, but despite that I give the story a 10. This is easily my favorite version and the only version I have watched multiple times. The pacing is just right and there is so much more depth and interesting scripting. Each character has their wonderful parts and their flaws so there is never really a boring moment. I especially like how the male lead TenTen (Naoki/Seung Jo depending on the version you have seen) is more than an a-hole genius. There are moments when he is standoffish and looks down on people, but the writers offer an explanation as to why. And there are also caring and tender moments as well, something I think could have been emphasized more with the other stories. There is much more backstory and I feel watching this show gets you more involved, pulls you in more. I also like that Taliw (Kotoko/Ha Ni in the Japanese and Korean versions) is much more likable and is not portrayed as a idiotic and childish figure. She is smart in certain areas and then is lacking in some others, something that is much more realistic in my opinion. There is also no blind following on her part, she can make her own decisions and even get mad - a vital character trait i think was lacking in the other versions. King was especially better, he was not portrayed as a village idiot or obnoxious, but a charmer that is trying his best to win the girl. There were times I found myself getting worked up about the competition, much more than with the other versions.The relationships between all the characters were great in my opinion: friendships, family ties, and love interests all were spot on. The actors did well in each of their roles and I even picked up a few new favorites again. (My list just keeps getting longer!) Of course, I also loved the music and the placement of the music. Nothing was distracting and every time I would start to get bored a song would change subtly or not so subtly. I actually went out of my way to download the full soundtrack. I have already watched this show multiple times and I highly recommend it to others. I know some people are die hard fans of the other versions, but everyone should at least give this one a try as well. Personally, it is my favorite version!
