Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo Episode 10
16 people found this review helpful
This episode cemented my belief that this is the best rendition of "Mischievous Kiss".
1.The pacing is great. They cover so much ground in each episode, while keeping and emphasizing on the important areas of character/arc/relationship development.
2.Even in the instances when Kotoko becomes a bit childish, they never really cross the line into cartoonish and overly annoying. As much as I loved Tversion, and Ariel Lin, it was painful to watch her character sometimes. I won't even mention the Korean one!
3. The characterization of all characters just seems richer, deeper and more realistic. Kotoko and Kin Chan have shown more skinship,friendship and awareness of each other. Irie is not so cold and is more complex in this version.
Kotoko is not as annoying, dumb and helpless as in the other versions.
Irie's mom is just: QUEEN. She is so adorable,funny, loving, manipulating and nosy. I love it. Kotoko's dad's is also less pathetic.
Overall I think this show is doing a great job in keeping all the original elements of the story that we love, yet is bringing new life and dimension to how the story is represented, thus keeping it fresh and addicting.

This show was such a nice surprise. Watched it out of boredom at first, but now I'm addicted. Sadly it's only 1 episode per week. Is it Sunday yet? :(

I found this episode a bit draggy. I kept thinking that they could have used some better editing on the WOC part of the story. But, THAT, does not matter. Eun Shi-kyung confronting Bong-gu was a scene stealer. I wanted to grab him through the screen and kiss him. I was rooting and so proud of him, like there was no tomorrow. This had never happened to me before. I had goofy smile when he was done.
Over I feel this was Eun Shi-kyung's episode to shine. It was brilliantly done. The smart and logical way he is investigating the baddies, confronting them, not letting them get under his skin. Serious He is the man! Can't wait for next week's episode. Love this drama.

Discovery of Romance Episode 1

The chemistry works great among both leading men and the leading lady. The story/acting from JuMi feels a lot like her character from I need Romance 2; overall the entire episode gave me that feeling, but I can't say I did not enjoy it. It was funny, interesting, and well paced. Can't wait to see what happens next.

This episode has it all!My heart was beating hard all through out while watching. There is: romance, action, betrayal, mystery, fights and reconciliations,forgiveness and resentment.
This episode served to really move the plot forward. The acting from all the characters really amazes me. It's excellent.
I don't know how I will survive until next week's episode.
