Personally, I found this drama very sweet, as I do quite like the Itazura Na Kiss story. I think it was done overall very well, and I enjoyed feel of the drama. I think, given it is a Japanese version of the story, it worked better then other versions because in Japan they seem to have a much larger sense of sweetness to them! Story - 9 I have given the story 9 because I absolutely adore the Itazura Na Kiss story line. However, to follow a story line, it mustn't change drastically. For this reason it does not have a 10, because of course it cannot be original, but it was still a good take on the story! If you have already watched a version of this story (eg. Playful Kiss) then I wouldn't skip out on this drama, but I wouldn't expect too many differences. It is still a good watch in my opinion! Acting/Cast - 7.5 My main critism about the casting is probably the difficulty of playing Irie Naoki. I think Furukawa Yuki is very good looking and good at pulling a straight face, which is mostly the character. Despite this, I think the character is too dull in that sense, as he only seemed to show emotion in the last episode. This may have been the characters or actors fault, but I can't be sure. I think Miki Honoka did an extremely good job, especially given the age she was when it was filmed. The character of Kotoko is very over the top, and I think she portrayed her very well. Personally, I think the version of Kinnosuke was better in the Korean version. Overall the acting is quite good, but could be better. Music - 8 The music in this drama, when played, was catchy. The opening theme I enjoyed, and I thought was very good relating to the drama (although Kotoko's face when she is 'crying' is hillarious). However I didn't feel like music was played very often, especially compared to other dramas I've seen. Despite this, I like there being less music, but it may not fit everybodies tastes! Rewatch Value - 7.5 I think I would enjoy rewatching it because, as I said previously, the Itazura Na Kiss story is great and I personally love it. However with there being several versions, I don't think I would rewatch it any time soon, because if I want to see the story again, I have a variety of choices to watch. However this is not the fault of this specific drama but of the fact that it is a widely popular storyline! Overall, I think it is a good drama, and if you enjoy the Itazura Na Kiss story then you should certainly watch it!
