This is what i was waiting 4 ,they got me with the poster hahaha Xd STORY :Okay it's not a new storyline , we all know it an love it!! it's not new , but it's very fresh they finally made justice to this story in my opinion :P sticks to the manga ? CAST : this one has an amazing cast , the best of all the version YUKI and MIKI where the best choice to portraited irie and kotoko, they look good together , 4 god sake the have chemestry (not like certain kdrama , that i'm not gonna mention hahahahahhaXD) Irie : they didn't made irie to cold or anything, actually it felt more human. I really liked that. yuki made a very very good job. Kotoko: she wasn't annoying like in other version. miki made her very sweet and likeable. Kin-chan was the best of all kin-chan thats all you need to know. the music was very catchy really like it!!! REWATCH VALUE :Go for ti , it's nice, funny, romantic,classic, good , and very cute Overall. great adaptation , amazing cast,it has love, tears, Laug, and some very romantic scene of yiki and miki. :3 u will love it every time !!! give it a shot !!!? In my own personal opinion I didn't really like the old japanese version was kind of boring actually. the taiwanese version It Started with a Kiss was so much better definetly,. then the catastrophe of playful kiss,I enjoyed, buy it didn't feel like itazura na kiss.(love the kisses BTW)
