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.
