Miss in Kiss (2016)

I've watched "It started with a kiss" (older TW ver), "playful kiss" (KR ver) and planning to watch the Thai ver one soon too. I do not wish to compare between the different versions but since it's a remake, it's also hard for people not to compare between each version. Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng version was the most memorable version for my up to now. If you ask me about the Korean version, I couldn't even remember a scene other than the cast (why?) because there isn't much difference that made me impressed. So my comparison will be based on the two Taiwan versions

Story: Basically storyline doesn't have any much difference but I like it how this version has the comical like graphics to express some emotions. It makes the scenes cuter and hilarious.

Music: Have never doubted any member from 势在必行, all their song have never made me disappointed.

Acting/Cast:
Esther Wu - At first I really didn't want to watch this version the moment I saw that Esther Wu is the main role of the drama. She isn't the type of actress I would prefer and I believed that her acting skill will not be to my expectation esp when she will be compared to goddess Ariel Lin. But for Dino Lee, I decided to give it a go after 3 years. I was right, she indeed will be the reason if I want to drop this drama. I wouldn't say it's her acting that is bad, it's already better than what I expected but I just can't stand that she is forever pouting. Her hairstyle, her smile and the way she behaves, it just makes me feel that this 27 y/o girl is still living in 2009. Even if the drama needs her to look cute and pity, always pouting isn't the way to express it. I believed that without pouting, she still can easily pull it off with just expressing through her eyes. Pouting doesn't make it natural at all, look at ariel lin, which makes her legendary.

Dino Lee - As compared to other versions of Jiang Zhi Shu, Dino Lee gives off more warm and soft ver which I love it more because other versions of Jiang Zhi Shu is too hard to read even for viewers. Hence making this version a more romantic vibe as compared to other versions.

Gong Yi Teng/ Qiu Shi Lun - At first I was confused why there were two listings of him in the list of cast, then I realised that its because he changed his name. First exposure to his projects and was quite impressed by his looks and acting skills. But acting as Ah Jin, he could be better. He can improve more to the way he speaks cause I still feel that he is too soft to be in the character of Ah Jin. Probably his actual character doesn't act on impulse but Ah Jin is a character who acts on impulse and doesn't even think a bit.

Overall still okay. Will continue to watch the rest of the drama.

[updated]Sorry, after I watch till episode 15, I decided to drop the drama... I rather spend my time rewatching the old Taiwan version than this one. Really can't stand the way Esther wu speaks and act.
