since i allready saw the other 2 version of it this one did not reach my expectations. the story was way too compressed in those 9 eps, and since it didn`t follow the pattern it could`ve been better if they adjusted it so it will fit for 9 eps. it was funny allright but that`s all. i didn`t really like the acting, it was ordinary but Kotoko was way too noisy (as in too loud) i mean, why did she have to yell every single time?it was disturbing, i know that it`s her nature to make a fuss over anything but this kind of Kotoko was anoying even for me.they should`ve worked harder at it.

I really love this version really much….

I really love this version really much. this version are my first version that I have watched now. Even I’m not yet watch the other version I can say this original version will be evergreen for me. the chemistry between the main lead and also other supporting actor/actress really great. I really wish this version have more episod. I really want this version show their love story after the confessing,marriage,work together in the same hospital and that I really want to see their baby girl. This kotako and naoki for me are the best one. Can’t bealive this version aired 27 years ago. Miss too see Takashi & Aiko on screen together.

I mentioned in the INK~Love in Tokyo that I seen every version of this story. I forgot this version too. I've seen this drama as well.

This isn't my favorite version of this story, but it had some good things about this drama.


Story: I love the story, but it was so different from the original. But it's because the manga was still being written in 1996. The manga will forever be incomplete with no ending at all. The reason is that the author passed away(if you haven't known that, then that's the main reason that the story is so different). It's actually kind of more comedical(not as funny, but still).

Acting: I think Kashiwabara Takashi did pretty well as Naoki. He was so cold that I wanted to beat him because he was cold. There a few moments that he wasn't too cold. Sato Aiko got her role down. But I couldn't really relate to her. She was very annoying character. Aoki Shinsuke as Kin-chan didn't have much screen time at all because the story was still being written at the time. The person who played Yuki was pretty good as well.

Music: Not that memorable at all.

Rewatch: I didn't like the drama very much, but there were some good moments in the drama I would watch over again.

Remember, it's my opinion. If you disagree, that's fine with me.

KASHIWABARA TAKASHI WAS SO HANDSOME!!! ???

I'm so glad I watched a fanvideo on tiktok of Naoki and Kotoko! At first I was hesitating to watch this version cause of the Taiwanese version which is one of my all time fave drama. But because of Takashi, I gave it a try since he was so cute in this drama ?
The plot was the same but I was glad that there were some small changes on the storyline, because of these the next scene was not predictable. I love how I'm gonna get surprised especially to the reactions of Naoki toward Kotoko. This drama has a slight difference to the Taiwanese version but I wouldn't say that it was bad. It has its charm as well as funny and cute moments of Naoki and Kotoko. ?
I just wished that it should have got more episodes, 9 was not enough! I would want to see more sweet moments of them!
Overall, this drama is worth seeing. Takashi is such a perfect Naoki for the Japanese version. Although its short, you will really enjoy watching this. ?

So I was expecting a little more, But disappointed to say it wasn't what I though it would turn out to be. It wasn't very good but there were some funny moments in their so guess that made me change my mind a little but not really The cast acting was very bad I mean not to judge but it just didn't feel like they had chemistry at all when I first watched ep1 I though wow Maybe it will be good but it's was very sort of decent sorry this was so not worth watching =(((((

my review

the reason why i am writing this review is becuz i have seen the one with Yuki Furukawa and i really liked it. i watched both seasons. thats also the reason why i watched this version thinking i would like it. Not only did i force myself to finish this but as the series continued i found kotokos voice getting more and more load and annoying. and i did not like the actor for Naoki. i also did not like the ending. it felt too rushed. i did not feel anything for the 2 main characters. i would not recommend this version to anyone. go watch either the anime or the live action movies or live action drama.

nice & fluffy comedy

Totally lovable comedy, with a melodramatic vibe. Actors are good-looking and natural, and all in all they make this series so enjoyable! The support cast - the parents and the little fellow - are especially funny.
The video quality is bad, but the rest of this drama doesnt scream outdated! Fashion is ok, nothing to hurt the eyes.
Very lively, nothing to resemble a manga adaptation. This is a plus! I didnt give this a ten because the "dumb-but-sweet-girl" is not my fav trope, and also i didnt like that the SML was treated like trash, comedy or not...
I watched this on mute, after reading the previous comments, so the FL screaming didnt bother me.
I really really liked this, though not for a moment it can be taken seriously.
Better version than the Korean one, way more genuine.
Recommended.

A Kotoko worse than the Korean version

I started watching this drama a few years ago, right after I finished the Korean and Japanese versions and ended up abandoning it halfway through the first episode, uncomfortable with how much the protagonist couldn't stop screaming even with the person in front of her. Anyway, I wanted to give this version one more chance and I finally managed to finish and I must say it was a great effort, I felt like running a marathon, I was so tired, that i just wanted to ended as soon as possible. There were several points that bothered me, I'll mention some of them:
-- The protagonist manages to be more boring than in the Korean version, it seems they took all the traits that were supposed to make Kotoko a silly, idiot protagonist and just made her really unbearable to put up with. Like I've already said, but she would start screaming out of nowhere, for everything, even if the person was in front of her, do you think we have hearing problems?
-- The actor who played Irie wasn't so bad, I think he played the role he was given as well as in his other versions, and I agree with some of the posts I read here, I didn't feel bad at all when he treated Kotoko like garbage, honestly she deserved a lot and not because she ran after Irie like a puppy, because honestly I'm already used to the fact that this drama and manga were made in the 90's and this thing about the protagonist being a "bad boy" was still a thing.
-- Another problem was the ending, it seems like that the producers realized that they only had one episode to finish everything and they did everything very fast and rushed, honestly I didn't feel any change in the protagonists, mainly in Irie's feelings to simply make him leave in a hurry behind Kotoko, like, hi?! You were away from the girl for two years and simply found out because of something your mother said that you are in love with Kotoko, it doesn't make any sense, I felt lost, as if I had skipped several episodes and simply went straight to the end. He had more chemistry with the other girl, than with Kotoko herself.
--The other characters didn't make much difference, whether they were in the scene or not, it didn't make any difference to me, like Kotoko's best friends and Kin chan, the other versions did a good job. exploring better these characters, I think they paid more attention to the A and F class teachers than to the rest of the people.
-- The soundtrack was... yeah, whatever, it was nice as far as possible.
Overall, it was torture to watch and I doubt I'll watch it again unless I want to watch again every possible version of Itazura na Kiss. Sorry for some mistakes, english is not my first language.

I don't like dramas showing girls following men like a stalker and become their pup. The male lead was horrid to the main lady from day 1. Later he had a change of heart but even after getting married he was horid. KOKOTO was sort of ugly. She was pushy etc. This drama is a nigjtmare. I thinj I'm too old for this type of dramas. My first and last j drama. Thanks to this i never want to see a j drama..

Amei!

Amei! Para mim é simplesmente a melhor adaptação de Itazura na kiss! A qualidade de imagem pode deixar a desejar um bocado, mas para mim o que conta é a atuação dos atores!
Os protagonistas são excelentes! O personagem principal é menos frio nesta versão comparada com as outras.
A protagonista é encantadora mas um bocadinho burra, muitas coisas hoje em dia podem não ser consideradas certas para algumas pessoas, mas há que levar em consideração que é um dorama de 2005.
Os personagens secundários também são excelentes! A mãe dele é ótima e a atriz encarou muito bem o papel.
A nível geral, eu recomendo muito este dorama. Tem 2 temporadas, a 1, ir start with a kiss que é de 2005, e a 2 temporada, they start with a kiss, que é de 2007.

Itazura Na Kiss lâu đời nhất nhưng kịch bản xúc động nhất

Itazura Na Kiss 1996 có cốt truyện thú vị nhưng cũng có điểm chưa mạch lạc, mạch phim hơi nhanh so với hiện nay. Tuy nhiên đây là bộ romcom Nhật duy nhất mà mình yêu mến. Visual diễn viên phụ cũng đủ gây ấn tượng.
LIKE:
1/Kotoko toát ra nét chân thật và đặc biệt từ ngoại hình đến tính cách. Naoki không thích con gái mà, Kotoko bản này khá là khác biệt với con gái. Không cần làm điệu chải chuốt mà cũng toát ra khí chất đủ nổi bật giữa đám bánh bèo, diện đồ lên là visual lên top chứ chẳng chơi. Điểm đọng lại để mình thấy Naoki thích Kotoko là vì tính cách bộc trực, nhiều lửa và nét ấm áp, quan tâm rất ư là chân thành, độc lập với kiểu con gái thông thường.
2/Kotoko vs Naoki này biểu cảm rất đa dạng hài hước, diễn nội tâm rất tốt, cảm giác được Chemistry bắn tung toé. Diễn viên Aiko vai Kotoko bộc lộ tấm lòng lương thiện và bao dung quá đỗi chân thành, đến mức làm người ta cảm động, đến đâu là chở nắng đến đó (Tuy là tư duy có hơi comedy, nhìn cũng đẹp mà hay tấu hài?) Có người bạn như Kotoko ngoài đời thực mình sẽ yêu quý cô ấy vô cùng.
DISLIKE:
Naoki thì diễn ổn, ra nét tuổi thơ bị lừa dối nên thiếu niên này dậy thì không thành công, không chủ động chứ không phải lạnh lùng gì. Mình thấy thêm vài cảnh chi tiết nội tâm Naoki thay đổi sau này thì hay hơn. Chứ biên kịch cho con người này hơi khó hiểu, cũng có thể do diễn xuất.
Quan trọng là nét tấu hài bộ này nó rất là độc ?
Lúc cảm động thì ấm lòng, lúc 2 đứa khịa nhau thì ngọt mía lùi luôn.
Chắc là BTS diễn viên đạo diễn cũng thân thiết
