I agree with those who said that this story is much different than any Itazura na Kiss adaptations. I have watched the anime, live- Japanese, Korean, & Taiwanese versions. I could say that no version could compete with the original, but what I like about this version is that, it's very light. Meaning the drama is not too heavy. SO if you are the type of person who is not into heavy heavy dramas, then this one is definitely for you. Yes they have changed a lot in the plot, but it makes this show unique among the others. The acting is great, as well as the song choices. They chose really good-looking actors too (totally a shipper of AoMike but Kim Hyun Joong of Playful kiss is a hottie). King looks cute too! They also gave a lot of attention to supporting actors which is not a bad thing. At all. But in my opinion, it kind of made some episodes draggy and uninteresting. What I loved about this drama too is that everything a sweet scene comes up, I squeal too much. I can feel the "love" every time they look into each other's eye. Call that cheesy and mushy but the feels they gave me was too sugary that you could get high with it. In summary, thumbs up to the production of this drama. Give the drama a chance? It may not be like the other version, but give it a chance. You might have a change of heart :)
