2. Beijo Atrevido: Amor em TÓQUIO
Japanese Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
This is the second Japanese drama version of Itazura Na Kiss. It is very cute and funny. The second lead in this one is one of my more favorite. He seems to be less one dimensional that some of the other versions of this character. Also love the mom in this one. ... And while Joe Cheng in the Taiwanese version is my favorite, Yuki definitely does the role justice and he has a charm about him.
