Since I have completed watching all the three drama versions of Itazura na Kiss(original manga) now I can sincerely say that It’s the best drama version of all three...In this review all are my personal views so if someone beg to differ with it then be it so......

Story - In the entire three versions story is somewhat same with some backdrop changes but twists are all same. Main differences which set them apart are mainly Direction and Acting.

Characters -Starting with Kotoko Aihara (Here Xiang Qin), she is really well played by Ariel Lin and the chemistry between her and Cheng Joe (Jiang Zhi Shu) is totally fantastic, the clashing of her unwavering will with Jiang Shu's cold and stubborn nature is really a treat for the manga fans, though I liked the Japanese version of Kotoko more which is played by Miki Honoka (my biased view).

For Naoki Irie(here Jiang Zhi Shu)...Hats off for Cheng Joe ,I really liked how he played the role of cold, Intelligent and distant Jiang Zhi Shu, from all of the three version it’s the best bcoz here i can see all the subtle changes that happens to his personality in the whole drama like how he is having fun teasing Xiang Qin and his frustration when he is clueless and dumbstruck by her actions, his journey from an arrogant and aloof genius to a caring and understanding (how he supports Xiang Qin)person is one of the best part of the story.

Supporting cast is one of the best; all characters are very well played by the actors especially Jiang Shu's Mother who plays a very vital role to set up the couple.

Music: Music is one of the best parts of this drama; it really goes very well with the whole series.

Rewatch Value: I already watched it 3 times ?’

Overall I think that this version of ITAZURA NA KISS is A must watch for all manga and romcom fans.

Even though i liked the Taiwanese version more but this one definitely takes second place in all four drama version of itazura na kiss series and is much much better than its Korean version. i am just writing this review bcoz i felt that the story here is much more realistic than other series.....specially the roles of Ikezawa Kinnosuke,Mother and kotoko's friends are really portrayed really well(close to manga and anime)in this series.....specially ikezawa, the way he scolds Naoki for his aloofness or the way he brings special bento for kotoko on Christmas knowing she is betrayed by her friends is.Like in other series i don't pity him here because he truly cares about Kotoko and in a way is more responsible then Naoki. About mother she is truly devious in this series.i truly enjoyed the way she executes her schemes and supports kotoko.In the last kotoko's girlfriends,both are selfish but they do care about her and support her love for Naoki in every way possible.So i highly recommend this series,its a must watch if you really enjoyed the manga and anime.
