A story that I think I will never forget for the rest of my life.

I think I cried at this story when I was 15. How time flies! Now I am 28 years old.

I decided to write this review because I suddenly remembered Miura and it was Koizora that made me meet him.

I was just watching it last night but this time I didn't cry like when I was younger. Could it be that I've become colder? hahaha.
But I did keep thinking about how obsessed I was with Koizora at that time, and even more so when I learned that it was a true story. At first I didn't really believe that this story was real, I kept wondering, does this type of love really exist? Well, reality always surpasses fiction, right?

I still like the story even though a decade has passed. I think they are stories that never die and you will continue to remember them even if you are of age.

The chemistry between Yui and Miura was very good but I felt a little uncomfortable in some scenes, especially the intimate scenes. Not because it bothers me to see intimate scenes, but because they were recorded from a slightly strange plane lol.

I also believe that even if I am 40 years old, this story will remain in my heart and I will never be able to forget it.

Hi! I come from the future. Year 2024.

Is it really good for a girl to have a child at 14 years old? Definitely not. It's like a child taking care of another child.

But it leaves you reflecting for a long time. To the people who commented on this 3 years ago, well a lot has happened in these 3 years, like Miura's death.

Many say that this drama is anti-abortion. I don't know what your opinion really is regarding this, but Japan having a very low birth rate, it is understandable that it does not give a message of "go and get an abortion."Nowadays, women suffer a lot if they want to have an abortion, because they need their partner's authorization, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEIR BODY, and many are such children of... that they do not give permission. And if you get them the pills are really too expensive to buy. They also can't have their tubes tied or anything like that. It's not that easy.

The issue of abortion has never been easy in any country. Even in my country, when the law was approved in 2020 and it was a great debate throughout the entire society. Even though it was approved, many doctors refuse to practice it and there is also a very large sector that looks down on women who have abortions for reasons of religion. It has never been an easy topic to deal with and at the end of the day you realize that in reality you are not even the owner of your own body.

Now, if I had been Miki, I think I would have been terrified and scared to death. Even at my age, I am terrified that something like this will happen to me because I don't feel ready to be a mother.

I agree that you are dissatisfied because they do not show the consequences that it can bring in the future. Because we all know that bringing a child into the world is not like buying something and throwing it away when you no longer use it. You are no longer a woman, you are a mother and you must dedicate a large part of your life to your child. Your life stops and you can no longer do things that you had planned to do with your life in the future. But in the end, it is each person's decision and whether we like it or not, we cannot force that person to see things the way we see.

Cases like Miki, there are millions today. I see more and more girls like Miki having children.
I've had close calls where I actually wondered "What the hell? Why did you decide to have it if you weren't going to properly care for them and if you weren't prepared?"

My answer came faster than I thought at the time, in an open conversation with a girl I realized that she had dropped out of school and had never properly had a good sexual education. In Japan, sex education is non-existent. I remember when I was 13 they gave me a little talk about "sexual education" (they actually just showed me how to put on a condom, nothing more lol).

I had that famous awkward talk with my parents. They did explain everything to me in detail, especially my father. I really appreciate having that talk with them today, it wasn't awkward or anything. Maybe it was because my parents found a way to explain it to me in a way that wasn't uncomfortable for me.

But the Japanese never have those talks with their parents.

In conclusion, my answer was the little or no lack of education, in all areas and that the vast majority came from unstructured families. So I could better understand the things that happen today.

I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever seen. But I also can't deny that I enjoyed watching it and it left me thinking a lot about it.

From your point of view, the answer may be very clear. But it's not so clear when you face that situation. There is no right or wrong, in these cases, there are only decisions and consequences, nothing more. It depends on the decision made by the person who is going through this, whether the consequences were good or bad.

What I liked the most was that they didn't portray as much how aggressive Yano was towards Takahashi in the first part as he was in the manga. I really hated him for so many things and I still hate him, I'm sorry lol I completely understand what he was dealing with but he made a mistake and hurt Takahashi so much that I always dreamed that he won't stay with her.

Likewise, Takahashi, young and adult, was a strong character. She is not the typical silly protagonist who allows everything, she is intelligent, she says what she feels and does not dwell on the lies she tells Yano, she goes deeper making Yano recognize everything she really did and happened.

Sincerely Nana's sister (Yano's dead girlfriend). She's... a crazy bitch. She is so crazy and bad that she has no limits. She really wanted her to suffer for her entire life for being so bad, the worst thing is that people like her exist and it's scary.

I really enjoyed the movie, it goes from an innocent love to something that becomes a very twisted story.

The performances were very good and I sincerely recommend it. But you really won't stop hating Yano, sorry lol

Well, since I had already read the manga a long time ago, I didn't really find Kou's actions irritating because I had already insulted him so much in the manga that I took it out quite a bit on him at the time.

Now that I've grown up and look at it from Kou's perspective. I can understand Kou, let's not forget that he is a teenager so at his age very stupid things are said. Since he was the one who took care of his mother the most in the hospital, it was obvious that her death will cause him trauma. The same thing happened to my father when my grandmother died and he was a 56-year-old person. He was locked in my house for a year so that no neighbor would ask him anything and to this day, every time it is her birthday he brings her flowers and talks to her. Since my grandmother my family has never been the same. We no longer celebrate any celebrations, like Christmas and things like that. Imagine on a teenager what a big impact that must have been.

So he felt obligated to be with Narumi, out of a feeling of guilt because she said she had no friends (that in the manga is a lie, Narumi did have friends) and he used a lot of emotional tack to keep him as long as she could.

But to his surprise, this ended when he realized that he was really losing Futaba, the only one who made him happy. So he himself decided to cut off relations with Narumi. I really liked him when Narumi asks him if he ever liked him and he gives a resounding "no."Ouch, that must have hurt hahaha but she deserved it for being manipulative.

I also really liked Futaba's attitude, with Kou it was always "you rejected me, so don't think about seeing my stupid face again." It was really difficult for Kou to get Futaba back because she was quite reticent towards him.

Futaba tried really hard to make things work out with Kikuchi, she felt guilty and tried not to make Kikuchi feel insecure. But here I want to say that Kikuchi was quite manipulative too, he practically forced Futaba to give him an answer, even though she reiterated that she still had feelings for Kou but he still forced Futaba, to the point that her friends, especially one, he couldn't stop treating herlike a slut, making Futaba feel worse. You know, she was clear to you from the beginning and she never guaranteed anything, what the hell did you expect? lol That's why I didn't feel bad at all when Futaba broke up with him, since he brought this on himself by wanting to force things.

Teenagers are just that, teenagers. They can make mistakes a thousand times and still learn. Meeting new friends that make your life more bearable and a lot of crazy things we do when we are in love, especially if you are a teenager.

Don't expect very mature attitudes, when they are that. Teenagers.

I really enjoyed it, everyone acted well and I really felt like I was watching the manga in real people because they even tried hard to make the actors look as physically similar as possible.

I really enjoyed this drama! I think it gave a good adaptation to the manga compared to the movie.

It is a very sweet and commemorative drama. It makes you think a lot about how people with these disabilities live, since even the character of Evan Lin makes it clear, and makes you think that we should be grateful to be healthy.

Wen Peng's character is fine for me. Since his clumsiness, tenacity and even his childish attitude made him able to open up and try to be happy.
For Evan Lin's debut he did very well. It is not easy to play a person with these disabilities and the chemistry between Evan and Wen was sensational.

Honestly, it was the first time that I only wanted to see the interaction of the protagonists because with their chemistry everything became boring.

I sincerely recommend it very much. I was very moved watching it. So 100/100 recommended

I started watching this drama because I was bored. I guess sometimes from dramas that you don't expect anything, they tend to be a big surprise! And this was it. Pleasantly.

From the beginning i'm was hooked and although there are situations that made me laugh because they were absurd, I was still hooked to know what would happen with Nao and Tsubaki; who had really killed Tsubaki's father and if Nao was willing to forgive him, despite everything.

This drama has so many twists and turns that you don't really expect what will happen, which makes it unsure if Tsubaki and Nao would finally stick together. Not because they were a toxic couple but because the circumstances that surrounded them + like both of them, willing or not, had injured each other a lot, it was not known if they were capable of forgiving each other.

That part was very realistic because they loved each other but they still had in mind what was happening between them and that it would not be easy for them.

The soundtrack was very good and the acting was great too so I highly recommend it.

I am a huge fan of Strobe edge. It was the first manga I read by Io Sakisaka and I loved it.

The story is very simple and cliché actually but I still like the manga that give off innocence such as the first love and everything that this entails but when I saw the cast I knew that it would not work and I was not wrong.

Arimura does not strike me as a good actress. She has seen her in other dramas and she always has the same face. She is not expressive at all and she was not a good choice to represent Ninako. She never conveyed the sweetness of the real Ninako to me. She just looked like a girl without expression.

And Sota ... I'm sorry but she doesn't seem like a good actor either. I love Ren and maybe that's why it was painful for me to see him play him because he didn't do a good job.

Neither of them had chemistry and they didn't convey anything to me.

I would really only recommend that you stick with the manga and that's it.

This movie exists because the drama was a disaster.

When I made my review, I stated that the biggest conflict that existed was between the director (who did what she wanted) and the author (whose ideas and calls were not respected).

Considering this and with an angry Korean audience it was normal that they wanted to do a "compensatory".

I really have no idea why some actors agreed to be in the movie and others didn't but the webtoon was portrayed in a good way. Of course, if you compare it to the drama, it seems very little. But it's not that bad, it's just not a big deal and it was noted that it was made to calm the waters a bit. That if, if you don't know the story previously, you will surely think "What the hell am I seeing?" because it's quite confusing trying to suppress so much in such a short time.

I was excited when I read that there would be another adaptation (you know, it's never enough lol) although I would know that it would not top Yuki's performance and Miki was looking forward to it.

Also because I saw that the actress was really excited and somehow her enthusiasm was transmitted to me. The cast didn't have much recognition, so I saw that there really was not a great expectation for the film in Japan but I still decided to wait. I said, "Maybe it will surprise me."

However, I must have realized that something was wrong at the time the trailer seemed ... lousy.

And that's how it is, the acting is very bad (even surpasses 1996). Everything happens very fast and there is no feeling whatsoever on the part of any actor.

Also in their second film they changed the actress from the mother and that seemed quite unfortunate to me.

It makes me sad because until the end of the credits they put drawings of Naoko and thanks are all fans but this movie and its prequels are terrible.

It would be fine if it was because they didn't have a big budget but they should at least act well or the director direct it properly.

The story is well adapted but it has no grace or value when you act as if you are reading a book.

I watched the movie 3 times, trying to make me like it, but I'm sorry. It's lousy.

There is something that I have always said and that is that I never get bored of seeing Itakiss adaptations.

Everyone always has something to innovate in and I really liked how they led the direction of adaptation.

This is a good example that you can make changes without removing the essence of Itakiss (as happened with the Thai version). They made a lot of changes but I felt like I was seeing the same story but with some alterations and that was great


I don't have much to say other than good acting, direction, chemistry and ost.

I recommend it.

The story is the same and there really isn't much to complain about because I think they addressed a lot of the story.

The big problem that I find with this adaptation is that it is, strangely, boring. And the main actors have absolutely no chemistry.

I can't tell if they act bad or good, it's just like neither of them has feelings and they just read the script.

That was my big problem with this adaptation. I do not know if I would recommend it or not because there are divided opinions regarding this adaptation. So I can only say that if you are bored, try watching it. Maybe you like it or it bores you like me.

With this story I entered the world of Itakiss, besides that it was the first drama I saw with my family, so I have great affection for it.

I can not say anything about Joe, he really is one of the best actors I have seen, because if you see him off camera, he is someone very charismatic and funny but he really interpreted Irie so well, that I only have words of praise for he.

As for Ariel, she is not the best Kotoko and she is very annoying many times (she is even cruel sometimes / more her friends are very cruel to her) but I would say that she really formed a chemistry with Joe, which I rarely saw.

The affection of the cast was noticed and made the screen go through and you see them as a royal family. People who really loved doing their job.

The story, in its first season, had its flaws, as well as its second part (which they lengthened and made it an unbearable melodrama) but if there is something that I rescue a lot from this adaptation is the laughs. You will never miss a laugh or a tear when you see it and you really don't get bored. It tells little by little how the love between the two was really born.

Despite its minor flaws, it is my second favorite adaptation so I really recommend it!

Like some reviews, I only saw this adaptation because I am a huge fan of Itazura Na kiss.

It was the first and I am very sorry that Naoko could not live to see a great adaptation of her manga such as Love in Tokyo 2013/2014.

The story is bad and does not resemble the real story one bit, except for some situations.
This Kotoko is unbearable with her screaming and Naoki is ... I think he's second worst besides Baek from Playful Kiss.

It's weird because the actors had offstage chemistry but not in the drama. Perhaps this was due to misdirection.

I really don' t recommend it, although maybe if you are a fan of itakiss, you only watch it to see another version but there is nothing remarkable about it.

I really think people are being a bit picky about this adaptation.

I didn't read the manga but I saw the Taiwanese version a few years ago already. However, I consider this drama a great adaptation!

He is fast, he goes to the concrete and the acting is very good. Also, I really liked how they put the episodes, as if you were reading a book or a manga, along with the 80s style.

I really sympathized with the characters and because of Rei's past, you really didn't know what was to come.

From my point of view this adaptation is very well achieved, it is entertaining and has a quite original execution.

If you can be impartial, I highly recommend seeing it! I watch it every time I get bored and it is a story that entertains me whenever I see it.

I highly recommend it.

I far surpass the disappointment of the second season.

We got to see Cha Hyun-su (Song Kang) more screen time than the second season and that's good, because well he's supposed to be the main character.

The pace is fast, you really watch it in one sitting, the scenes were much more well done than the first and second seasons. Obviously people can have criticisms about characters that were removed and included. Well that's normal, they live in an apocalyptic world (something like The Walking Dead), not all the characters manage to survive and they have to introduce new characters.

People also complain that there are unnecessary deaths (well if you are not used to this type of genre it may shock you, but when you are already used to this type of genre you know that this will happen). There's a reason my older brother and I, who enjoy this genre, usually say "don't get attached to anyone, because you'll know they'll die."

About the motives of some characters... well I come from the old school of The Walking Dead, so I have understood that some characters do not have a reason to act or be differently. Human nature is already monstrous, you will find that there are people who really have no reason to act in a monstrous way. Even if you kill yourself analyzing why, you'll never really find the answer in the real world.

About Lee Eun Hyuk, I know many were hoping to see him again. But you have to understand that she presents herself as a counterpart to Cha Hyun-su. Chan Hyun still maintains his human emotions, while Lee Eun Hyuk, after his transformation, has to deal with regaining some of his humanity. Not all transformations are the same, so they can have different nuances. For some reason, his sister tells him that I tried to remember how it felt to be human, so as not to become a total monster.

Pyeon Sang Wook, he doesn't die for no reason. He still kept the human part of him even though he was possessed most of the time. If you see from the first season everyone feared him but deep down, with his hard shell to never suffer again, he was a gentle man. So he preferred to die along with his monster before his humanity was completely lost.

Honestly there will be no fourth season. This is the end, the monsters will have to learn to live with humans and the three main characters deserved to be happy after everything they went through.

I want to say that your opinion is valid if you were disappointed by this last season. But in my opinion, if you have not traveled a long way through this genre, there are many things that you will not like and you will not find meaning in it. But for those of us who already have a long history in this genre, you will really enjoy it and understand many things and some things, characters that die or actions of some characters, do not seem incongruous.

For my part, I enjoyed it a lot, from the story, the ending, the acting, the soundtrack and the cinematography.

Spoilers about the original work, they actually tied up loose ends about Hyuk, that it was unknown if he would become an unfeeling monster or not. Here they leave you to hope that Hyuk is trying to keep the human part of him from disappearing.

At the end of it all, because they are still alive. Well, they are still alive for those they lost along the way and that their deaths are not in vain.

Many people also die in weebtoon. So I wasn't really surprised about that. Furthermore, I reiterate, that I am used to seeing many deaths because I consume this genre.

I think you have been disappointed, I can tell you something: investigate more about this genre and you will realize that the story followed the pattern of many series of this genre and secondly, never get attached to anyone! Otherwise you will suffer when your favorite character dies.
