To start off, I've watched every live-action form of Itazura na kiss.I read the reviews before watching this one and I was expecting to be really disappointed. I sort of am because the ending did go by fast. I feel like they should of had more episodes. I did like that some of the stuff that happened in the others was cut out but Irie and Kotoko's relationship literally had no progression in the until the last episode. I did like that Kotoko stood up for herself a bit more in this one! It honestly didn't follow the manga that much. It wasn't that bad though, I wouldn't tell you not to watch it. It's alright. I do think the one who played Kotoko in this one was a bit too much but there's nothing I can do about that! LOL. I did find it hard in the 6th and 7th episode to keep watching this but I persevered through.I wish I would have watched this one first because I would've appreciated all the other versions so much. The 2013 Japanese version has been my favorite so please give it a try! I hope you found this a bit helpful. if you have any questions for me just kik me @ itsyagirlkala annyeonghasyo!
