It Started with a Kiss

I mean this is just probably the best adaptation of Itazura na Kiss out there, no matter how you look that it. There is no way you get bored even at the stupidity and incapability that Ariel Lin Character Xianq Qi shows, I mean you can't help it but go all soft on her and cry and laugh with her. Nor can you help sympathizing with poor Jiro Wang character Ah Jin, or tell yourself that she needs new friends lol and you also want to beat up Joe Cheng character Zhi Shu and falling for him at the same time. You can definitely tell that the actors are doing a good job. And that they are really portraying the right emotions.

I found this drama extremely cute and couldn't help but get hooked. When I first started to watch it I thought it was going to be boring but as it started to go on it just clicked.

Good:

-The main character fitted each other
-The characters were believable
-Everybody wasn't perfect
-Their clothes were pretty normal

Bad:

-When it was raining it always seemed to pour
-They could have had a little less of Pei Zi Yu (Just a personal thing)

One of the Taiwanese Drama I love.

The chemistry between Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin is outstanding. At one point, while watching this, I told myself "Are they really a couple??? If not, they MUST!". Joe Chen really portrays the role very well that it blended to Ariel's quirky personality. The tandem is very much believable.

The music is cute. I particularly love the song "Say U Love Me" (Jason & Lara) and "Come a Little Closer" (Lara). The latter has a mellow tune and the meaning of the song really fits for Ariel's role. ^_^

You should watch this!

I think, it's the best taiwanese drama that i've ever seen..
Overall the dramas is well made.
The soundtrack, the story line, the acting, and the good looking face for the actor and actress.
I love ArJoe chemistry!!!
They're very cute..,
Xiang Qin is very funny and in side Jiang Zhi Shu is very cool...
I like it a lot~~

haha
LoL

Synopsis: After an earthquake, Xiang Qing's house was destroyed. Due to this, her and her father were invited to stay at an old friend's house. Xiang Qing is a high school student in class F, meaning her grades are...terrible. The day before, she had confessed her unrequited love to Zhi Shu, the most popular and handsome guy in school. He is also the smartest guy in school, and possibly even in Taiwan. He had rejected her and now arriving at their new place, she finds out that her dad's friend is actually Zhi Shu's father. Zhi Shu and Xiang Qing come off to not such a great start. However, with her bickering and his coldness, he finally starts to open up to Xiang Qing. Not to forget with the help of his mother, Xiang Qing and Zhi Shu are in love. Except neither Xiang Qing is smart enough to notice, and Zhi Shu, too stubborn enough to confess. However, when another girl comes in and falls in love with Zhi Shu at first sight, her grandfather offers to help Zhi SHu dad's company, only if he marries her. Will Zhi Shu marry her? Or will he finally confess to Xiang Qing, and ends their misery? Find out!!

Acting:SUPERB! So amazing, it COULDN'T have been better!!! ;D ;D Joe Cheng [Zhi Shu] and Ariel Lin [Xiang Qing] have such great chemistry together. And Pei Zi Yu played by Tiffany Xu, was also great. I love how they became friends toward the end. The mother [Cyndi Chaw] was SUPER funny ! Lol it was so hard not to laugh at her efforts of getting Zhi Shu to like Xiang Qing. Lol I want her to be my relative too! lol. xD Ah Jin [pJiro Wang] was also great. :] I couldn't help but feel bad for him throughout the whole series. Lol!

My Review:AMAZING! I loved it. ;D Just as much as i loved the anime and manga and the second season! lol. IT IS DEFINITELY A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall: I liked this drama. I would recommend it if it didn't have the second season (which just drew it out in a bad way).
Storyline: It's about this girl (Xiang Qin) and her father who are forced to move into one of the father's old friend's house (who's son Zhi Shu happens to be Xiang Qin's crush). Throughout the series the Xiang Qin is completely in love with Zhi Shu, and he only gives her the cold shoulder. It's way funny and cute. I was glued to my computer and was watching it every spare moment I had.
Music: Kind of cheesy, but cute.
Characters: I love Xiang Qin (even though others have thought she was annoying) and Zhi Shu is also great.
Acting: Ariel Lin is a great actress. People always think other wise because in this drama she plays a ditz, but if you've seen her in Love Contract you would see that she truely can play any character (and do it well). Joe Cheng did a good job playing the "cool guy" in this one, but after watching the first episode of Love or Bread I saw that he can only play "the cool guy" and nothing else (he was horrible in Love or Bread when he was supposed to be funny).
