I don't give bad reviews to dramas because how bad a drama can be but there is always something interesting in each drama, BUT This is HORRIBLE!
I must say if you can't handle watching a senseless girl chasing total Jerk (i don't understand why in the world he is so arrogant) then it's a warning DO NOT WATCH IT!!! It's going to be total waste of your time.
I almost wait half of a drama that please give female lead her senses back BUT NO..why they do so? How will they able to proceed this drama.
All the time that male lead humiliates her and when she tries to stop chasing him, he kisses her,and she again fall for him. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL I AM WATCHING?!!!
I got frustrated and dropped it.
Don't waste your time for this nonsense storyline .

I can related to this story. However, the ending wasn''t the same as me lol.
Coming back to the drama, the plot is the same old. It did kind of start to drag on in the end though. The acting by the female lead was much better than the acting by the male lead, but KHJ and his killer smile :D.
His mom was the best part of the whole drama. She was absolutely hilarious.

I have watched most of all the adaptations for this drama and here are reasons...I did not like it at all what so ever.

1. I don't like it how the main female was portrayed she wasn't even that dumb or stupid like she was suppose to be at all. Plus, she wasn't even that obsessed with him at all either.

2. Kim Hyun Joong's acting was terrible. he didn't suit playing noaki at all because he wasn't even a little bit that cold to her compared to the other verisons. I don't know if it was because I was to in love with the japanese anime at the time,but he didn't do it justice at all.

3. The girl who was playing Hae Ra was suppose to play either Sahoko or Naoki's fiance,but they for some reason decided it was a great idea to combine both the character and make her play both. Instead of getting another actress to play the other character like the rest of the versions which was to me lazy.

4.The story was too rushed all the scenes was all over the place and it was hard for me to keep up. When some of the scenes didn't happen in their correct order like in the anime,so it left me confused. Also, their was some unnecessary scenes like when Hani got mad at baek seungjoo and left the house,but later admitted her fault and came back home. Waste of time

5.It didn't stay true to the original or at least try. Their was also not enough comedy in it, it was like watching a sad documentary in school where just are not supposes to laugh or get you entertained.

Just to start off this drama is just sad. Not going to lie I hated the male lead. 1 The female lead bothers me so she’s so mad in love with a guy that she doesn’t care about her future she’s failing all her class. I hate the male lead okay why is he do rude al least give her a little attention. This shows has a cycle first she’s goes to him and says she’s loves him then she try’s something to make him love her he doesn’t care of gets annoying then she swears not to love him he does something she does it again. You could skip episodes not minutes episodes and still understand what’s happened happening. Her family doesn’t have a home right so you would think she would get a job to help her dad out right nope she gets a job to buy the guy clothes that’s just sad. Okay so she failing so how does she get into college explain to me she’s an F student she doesn’t care for herself at all or she’s would of stopped. She would of been like I need to fix my life I need to care about my future she never does that. He rarely shows affection for her even when they are dating. He treats her like trash and she always comebacks to him she never did anything good for herself she does everything for him and him only. He couldn’t care less about her this show is so annoying I absolutely hate this drama I only continued and finshed it because I thought he would become kind but nope that never happens she lets herself get treated like trash how sad.

Gets repetitive and annoying

At some point you expect some character development, and by episode 10, OHN's stupidity and stalking tendencies got extremely annoying and unbearable, especially when everything felt like an exact repeat of the earlier episodes. I liked the moments where OHN got tired of BSJ and finally said she was giving up—I just wish that these moments lasted for more than ten minutes before she ran back to him. That was a big reason I liked episode 13 (post-marriage meeting) because that lasted longer.

Another thing that makes this super problematic appeared during the college years, when OHN planned her entire career and future around BSJ's. For someone like OHN who seemed to know who she was, this lack of identity and independence was just one step too far.

A lot of scenes started annoying me as they went on, too. OHN's clumsiness and stupidity and apparent lack of ability in ANYTHING got very tiresome. OHN's tennis scenes pissed me off, especially. I wish there was more character development and growth on her part as an individual. I wish there was more growth for BSJ too, and he addressed his mother directly about what she did when he was younger—I'm not sure why that part was talked about as "trauma" and made out to be such a huge deal when it was never going to be resolved.

Honestly, a lot of characters were annoying in this, and it seemed like many of them were exaggerated in some way. BSJ and OHN were okay, obviously, but Bong Joon Gu was also horribly desperate and irritating. Of course, I liked Eun Jo and BSJ's mother, but mostly as comic relief. I liked OHN's two friends as well, but I just wish they had more screentime and personality than just being the people who OHN always ran to to talk about her boy problems.

Plot-wise a lot of things are questionable, like the random and rushed marriage (that nobody even questioned) and the sub-plot of the guy who suddenly liked OHN who never showed up again after two or three appearances.

Valor sentimental muito grande por este dorama.

Foi o meu primeiro dorama então sempre pensarei nele com uma atenção mais especial.

Quando penso em Playfull Kiss é praticamente inevitável que eu não me sinta invadida pela nostalgia das lembranças da minha adolescência, quando a vida era mais simples e tudo parecia girar apenas em torno de mim mesma; isso há quase 10 anos atrás.

Se quero retornar às boas memórias da juventude, retorno, então, à este drama, para me aventurar, mais uma vez, com a experiência do primeiro amor de Hani.

OK i'm going to throw a scenario out here for you guys, do you ever have a drama that you felt guilty you have not watched yet that was me watching this. Playful Kiss was really great like I have no reason why i should not have watched this sooner.

Story:
The Basic premise around this story without going through into main spoiler territory is main female lead's house gets destroyed and moves into main male lead house. The story does get really better as the drama goes on. The romance did not feel rushed to me which is a really nice thing not to go into this drama worrying. The whole story as a whole i give a 8.5.

Acting/Cast:
I be rally honest this drama acting was great because of Kim Hyun Joong. Kim Hyun Joong was great in Boys Over Flower, and he is one of my favorites that i will watch anything of his. Jung So Min was pretty great as Oh Ha Ni she tried really great. The other cast was fantastic all around. Acting/Cast I give an 8.

Music:
OK the ost for this show actually is really fantastic i listened to it before writing this because we all have those moments that we listen to the ost after finishing a drama. The music i will give a 9.

Rewatch value/ Recommend:
Would i rewatch this? Simple Answer yes. I would love to go back to rewatch this because of Kim Hyun Joong because he one of my faves. I would recommend Playful Kiss to people who love Boys Over Flower, and or just starting getting into k dramas. My rewatch Value is an 8.

Overall:
Overall I give Playful Kiss a 9, I feel like a 10 would be great but there were episodes where I kinda flt a little bored (but that just me).

Every single woman is problematic

Well, I haven’t finished this one, but I know the story from watching others. The actors for this version are really good looking, it helps lure people into this otherwise dumpster fire. The most problematic figure is of course the FL. She’s just a weak character, but even so, was the actress good because she committed to rendering this clown without a shred of dignity? Or, is she a bad actress whose bad acting suited the childish mentality of the character? It is very difficult to say. The ML holds his end up, coming across as very stoic, but that isn’t hard to do when the other actors are on 111 every minute they are on screen. The whole thing reads like hot garbage. The director should have made some effort to balance the actor’s portrayals.
The most telling comment of the series is when the little brother calls FL stupid, then points at her friends and says with disgust “flock of the same.” All the females characters in the entire series seem to be the same clown in different makeup. Even the mother of the ML is petty and childish. It really is hard to forgive the overwhelmingly negative image of women in this story. The friends can barely be called that. They are mostly damaging —unapologetically loud, crass and never miss an opportunity to heap embarrassment onto the FL. It’s gross. It would be unexpected for the FL to learn or mature in this set up. From whom would she learn?

This is meant to be situational comedy. I’m not sure what would make this funny or give the characters more dimension. It’s just foolish. If you are still in your teens, maybe there is something worthwhile here to watch. These people have a mental age of roughly 13.

I would give it a 0 just if I could. This drama is a shame for women. The main female is totally obsessed. She suffers from some kind of mental illness. She's totally crazy, she's irritating, annoying as anything in this world, I don't even understand why some women support this kind of thing. Also, is boring. The story sets in high school, then college, boring boring nothing different, everyone is crazy in this drama, some hate the main (male) but why? IT IS A NORMAL REACTION WHEN SOMEONE IS DOING STUPID THINGS TO BE WITH YOU AFTER YOU REJECTED THEM 10000 TIMES.

Spoiler alert ??

I am here to tell you guys that I literally have not seen one episode of this drama but just by seeing the clips I am feeling overwhelmed and not just Overwhelmed my heart is getting so so I don't know how to tell in words heartwarming and there is a lot of jealousy there is a lot of coldness in this and I understood these things from just seeing 10 only 10 shorts YouTube shorts I will update you guys after seeing it fully and I am so excited ??

I am here a big disclaimer to everyone who wants to see this drama is really good and I might have some spoilers and it's so you guys should come back after seeing it bye!!!


I have tried writing this like 5 times but I always forget to save it ughhh it's been a long day of writing review so I don't really use the voice typing because it doesn't work that nicely for me whatever I say comes out wrong so yeah
There are a lot of people saying that is toxic relationship between the main leads I have to disagree because there is a lot of things that they are putting in the episodes saying that he has little bit of attitude or personality disorder Vikas of the mother who is really cool I love her but she wanted her grow child and she didn't get one so she dressed her son as a boy made him become like a girl and be friends with girls I guess but then when he went to a pool one day he found out that he was a boy are those found out that he was a boy to show that had a truama on his life but he becomes an ignorant not appreciate a person who is really smart a genius but doesn't know about his feelings and is good at everything he does type of person but doesn't know anything about his feelings which is really sad and then this girl starts to liking him as many people will because he is smart genius handsome man but even after getting rejected by him which was really funny and a little sad for me as a girl I was like I hate getting rejected so I can't experience that I will really cry so that experience just would have made me stop liking or stop liking but stopped me from just I guess showing my feelings really carelessly to him I will start being conscious that I should stop showing my my emotions to that person but she didn't stop and she started caring about him alot and did everything she could to make him happy it's really made me to happy and like whenever he gets like there are some moments I can't really spoiler that there is a moment where he gets warm like he's not a warm person at all at all and I mean it she is not warm his just this good person but then you will come to understand that he is not mean to everyone is only mean to the girl who likes which means he is expressing his feelings as well as no he has and disorder he has a disorder called I think it's called personality disorder I have written it in the starting only so yeah the personality disorder makes him to be little stupid about his decisions that he is making when he is falling in he starts to ignore his feelings because he doesn't want to fall in love with stupid girl but then love doesn't have eyes I guess he is force for her and then gets jealous protective about her then I think some episodes make me feel that yeah it's not a toxic relationship but then some moments are like it is a toxic relationship but then when you come into the the episodes fully AC all of them to understand that he has done some parts where he should have just let it go but he didn't she likes her but doesn't know how to tell her that he likes which is really something that could happen to anyone so I am not going to say say that it's a wrong thing and kisses world like so beautiful I really loved every single one and understand why it was called playful kiss or not e case as most people know and I really love the chemistry and like how they got anxious each each other got anxious really fast about each other and how cute they are together the chemistry set on point ... It is really like not a story that you would imagine like if I was the girl in that story I would just give up I would not tolerate a boyfriend like that let even you know in Lake the wedding dress shopping episode and all I was so mad like you what the ring shopping and I was so mad what the hell bro your marriage is not something that we can just play around with it's a memorable moment was so angry at him but then you can understand that it went well and like welding o my god like it is really funny to me when they kiss like she just forces him to do it sis control and this scene which was very hard braking to me that there is this you know them honeymoon de they go to some place and it's like they going to the place and there is this couple who is like 10 years older couple one is 21 years old and other one is left 31 you so so they have a big age gap between them and this goal tries to float with him and because she is girls understand that she is trying to flirt with them so she gets really anxious and like they ruined her and privacy and then literally comes and literally flirting flirt with the main lead and she understands the girl understand that and she gets mad and then the mail it is like I am doing something that is what I will do I have to touch women's if I get become a doctor and it's my job you can't be my wife if you are like that and she really gets sad because she knows the intentions of the women like bro you don't understand and then she starts throwing him or herself on him and then he understands and goes to her and make her smile and say some romantic things that like my I don't know if this feeling I get this overwhelming feeling .... Say the story doesn't have any evil in everyone is a good person in the story is there is no evil even the second lead who are trying to get to date main lead is also not shown as a people and the in the sadness is also not there mean is not there there is only happiness in this which I have not seen in most of the drama I have seen there is something that happens that is really bad and the people are shown as bad in the drama there are a lot of other dramas to which showcase like this so I have to say that this drama deserves a ten on ten and the main point is this drama was made 10 years ago 10 years ago keep that in mind when you are writing a 10 years ago which means people nowadays have less concepts I guess that's why there are mean peoples are shown in kdrama but I really like this drama and I wish there was a part 2 it as you guys can see I thought that their is a part 2 because at the last episode there was his brother rejecting a girl
In short I love the storm and I give it a ten on ten even by even though it has been 10 years so and I am a 2006 child so I really love it and I have to say this to everyone if you guys like it g h i wish you guys Happy kdrama journey because i am also on it and easy like my comment thank you because if took a long time to write this and i did do some voice typing because bro i literally deleted this command like 10 times and i'm not lying and I really didn't do a lot of voice typing in there but I did some and I forget to tell this but the is Happy ending for everyone ok it's a Happy ending story not a sad story if your looking for any sad story or have seen a lot of that story please comment down below because I love watching sad kdrama.. And this kdrama made me a lot overwhelmed today I guess it's OK to be a little sad right....... love!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
