A good development!

Wow, everything is totally fast paced! I think this is a good sign that the depth of their story will be pushed through until the events happening after their marriage. (This is just a vague wish though!)

But, yeah, this episode is very cool! This is the turning point of which Irie will be experiencing things he had never experienced before. :) Nice going plot! Kotoko is better that the previous "kotoko" versions of this drama, in here, she has depth. I mean she has something that despite her clumsiness and stupidness, one can say she's cool. She's cool in a sense that despite being the most annoying character, she has that "glow" that makes her shine. Other "kotoko" portrayals failed to emphasize this, that's why I'm loving this version more. :) In this episode, there was more scenes of Irie, and I can see the development between the two leads, though I think It would be still like more than 2 or 3 episodes before the the actual romance will start. (just guessing!)

Anyways, I'm getting crazy for the next episode! Waiting for it was a complete torture! :)

Heartwarming.

Yes, I agree that the kiss was a bit disappointing, well that's pretty much expected since our lead actress is still a minor, and THIS is a Japanese teen drama. Even so, I didn't consider the whole episode a total disappointment either. In fact, this episode is a splendid! Irie is shown to have little emotion, which is a good development. Kin-chan's role improved, He is not annoying and a total loser here, he is actually very passionate and sincere. (to the point that I feel sorry for him, since it would be really nice if he gets Kotoko in the end, but we know for sure that its not.) and Kotoko, she's still lovely and active, I like how Kotoko treats Kin-chan, She's not like the previous versions that totally ignores Kin-chan. The story was totally fast paced, considering that they were on college on the 6th episode.

Kin-chan's song touched me! :)

Something big is gonna happen, and it will be totally bad for Ha Myung

I can just sense the direction of the wind is going in the wrong way. I feel like as Ha Myung is getting closer to his goal, something/someone would likely fall apart, and he would regret it. Deeply regret it. I dunno, but I just felt that it would go that way, or I can just feel to mucho and is an overly-feeler person. hahaha. Anyways, I'm sure a conflict would arise and complicate things.



This drama really keeps me going. I didn't find it predictable, and so far, the story is in a good pace. Nice dose of suspense and comedy moments. A good balance of heartbreaking and refreshing moments. Good show indeed. Can't wait for the next episode and looking forward to the ending. c:

so many mysteries...

All the puzzle pieces are seemingly at the wrong place. This is how I view this episode. Everything is so confusing, and more and more mysteries are getting revealed. Don't get me wrong, this drama is a one hell awesome and I would be like dying for a week waiting for the next episode to come. It was sad that Doo Rim is tied into this whole big mess, but I want to see the development of her and Kang Ju's relationship. So much evilness in this house. Grrr.

The ghost is actually the answer in all this mess, but her actions are quite vague too, but still I trust that she is on the good side, because she tied Kang Ju & Doo Rim's thread of life. I think she believed that Doo Rim is the perfect girl for the role for kang ju, and that she knows doo rim can manage because of her great spirit and good will

A nice start!

The start of this series was great! the plot and characters are portrayed according to the story line of itazura na kiss (manga), and I can say it has a different "feel" than the previous versions of this (korean and taiwanese) I cannot say this one is inferior to both versions, this version is different in some other way, plus, the main male lead was totally cute! and the girl who played kotoko, honestly I like her character here, she was not portrayed as over-reacting and mindless like many other "kotoko" portrayals in other versions, she is a unique kotoko, she still portrays that sense of "kotoko" character yet, it is a unique and interesting portrayal, something different from the other "kotoko" versions. I have high hopes from the next airing episodes. I just hope this series will be on its pace, and will continue to have that unique "feel" that is totally different from the other versions. :) I hope it coincides with the anime version! I really love the plot of the anime version! :))

A shoutout to all mental health workers

This episodes highlight lots of things to be aware about when talking about mental health. I really like the people working in OK psychiatric facility. This is one the very rare dramas I come across that have a setting like this. If you have never worked in this kind of facility, this episode will give you an idea how its like to work in such an environment and how they get things done in there. This kind of profession is something only few but dedicated people pursue these days, but I know the world needs more of this dedicated people. So, if you are considering your career in the future, I do hope this episode gives you a certain level of inspiration. The people who worked in the facility including Sang Tae are my favourite people in this drama.
