Playful Kiss (2010)

What I did like about this drama was the pure female lead and her supporting friends, her loving father and male lead's funny mother. I don't like when a female character is depicted to have nothing else in her mind other than male lead. Fortunately she managed to focus a little on her career. I loved female lead's devotion and expression of her emotions but her love was too much. I would like her to be a little less of a male lead's fangirl. What many people don't understand is that we can't have the same type of female lead in all dramas. Some are more expressive and some others are not. This female lead was a little too much expressive. Male lead from the other hand was so not expressive. Even after he started having feelings for her, he didn't show them much, which made female lead confused. Second male lead was a little too expressive too. Although it is admirable for them to be able to express their love, I feel like these characters wasted too much energy on another person instead of themselves. It is not selfishness, but self- investment that they lacked. This drama gave me a lot of secondhand embarassment and that's the main reason I would not watch it again. I thought I should stop watching it, but I am glad I didn't because their story got better. In my opinion it is not so bad as many people say, but this is up to everyone's point of view. You may see it as a foolish love of a silly girl for a perfect male lead or as a pure first love-crush of brave girl who managed to get the boy of her dreams!

Tóxico!!

MDS que radiação é essa☠️☠️
o dorama todo o SeungJo não tá nem aí pra ela e ela fica lá se humilhando
mana vai fazer uma terapia, esse nível de baixa autoestima não é mais normal não
50% do dorama é só ela stalkeando o mlk
isso sem falar da toxicidade do SeungJo né kkkk
pq nessa história é todo mundo doente: é a HaNi q não se dá valor, o SeungJo q é gentil como um coice de cavalo, o outro lá q só sabe correr atrás da HaNi também, a mãe maluca q fica apoiando as doidices da HaNi
eu recomendo terapia intensiva para todos. 😁

painful but hopeful watch

i never cursed at my tv till i started watching. kept wanting to bash my head into the wall. it took him too long to say ONE nice thing. i kept thinking BASH BASH BASH between every very slim to none romantic scenes. but it did make me curious; i didnt completely hate it. i just wish it was different be their relationship shouldnt have been that toxic.

there were moments where the pain of juri just terrorized me. BUT i did like how hani’s friends always stood up for her. i wouldnt rewatch this show though, unless i wanted to relive modern torture.

the casting was good, i really cant complain. i think thats what saved the show. the music was really good. im picky with ratings esp if i get more angry at the show but this one made me rethink every man ive spoken to. i think seungjos character should’ve been reevaluated or altered to not make me want to punch my screen.

I watched Playful Kiss back when it first came out and it was my second kdrama, so of course it has a special place in my heart. That being said, what I particularly enjoy about "Playful Kiss" as an adult is the charming chemistry between the main leads, Jung So-min and Kim Hyun-joong, who brought the characters to life with their endearing performances.

While it may be a little "cringe" to watch now because of how the characters traits are depicted, the drama still beautifully portrays the journey of love, growth, and self-discovery as the two characters slowly develop feelings for each other.

Playful Kiss, disappointment

Playful Kiss remains somewhat mixed for me. Indeed, this drama revolves around two main characters, namely Sung Jo and Ha Ni. Unfortunately, both characters were a disappointment in my opinion. On one hand, there's Sung Jo, the handsome and intelligent one, but also cold and arrogant. On the other hand, there's Ha Ni, the girl who tries to win Sung Jo's heart but comes off as clumsy and overly clingy. It frustrates me how they continually act stubbornly and fail to grow throughout the episodes.

Overall, I just didn't enjoy the story and their personalities, despite the strong performances by the actors Kim Hyun Joon and Jung So Min, although occasionally they seemed a bit exaggerated. Despite being new to Korean dramas, besides the two actors mentioned above, I did notice some talented actors and actresses like Lee Tae Sung, whose funny scenes stood out, Lee Si Young, and Abigail Alderete. The OST appropriately matches the romantic ambiance of the drama.

We all have our guilty pleasures.
Technically speaking I am not supposed to like this drama, I mean, how could I?
Nothing meaningful ever happens, but I was completely won over by Jung So Min’s acting.
She carries the drama on her shoulders from start to finish. I understand that many might question her choices of just blindly following Hyun Joong around but I think she’s just blinded by her love for him. I also like the impact she has on him and that he makes his decisions based on what she says without even realizing (he does later on).
I take this bubbly, cotton candy drama for what it is, simple, fluffy and I really enjoyed myself watching it.

Story- The high school episodes were funny. The college years were frustrating and some were a bore. The last couple episodes were super amazing. The end was cute. Even so, How the relationship develops between the leads is very strange. They go from being a no way in hell to very serious but without any real development in between. Thats why I cant give a higher score for the story.

Acting/Cast- The leads did a great job in thier role. The actress that played Oh Ha Ni acted well as the immature stalkerish girl to a grown up person who knows what they want. I loved KHJ in BOF but disliked his character in PK. He did a great job acting as the snobby emotionless Baek Seung Jo. BSJ really got on my nerves though. He never showed enough emotion to Ha Ni which made thier relationship in the end really strange. Hated his character!! The supporting cast was funny and served thier purpose.

Music- Some cool music nothing too in your face.

Overall- Could have been written better but the end was a welcome surprise.

This Drama was really gud. My friends kept pushing me to watch it but i kept delaying, but i must say i`m very impress with it. one of my favorite ending was episode 13 that kiss was awesome n the rain( the weather may always seem to b against her, but actually its with her) made it even better. i must say my playa game has improved for sure these girls wont survive my romantic assault after this show lol.
I really luv the mother from the get go she was like another Oh ha ni, taking pictures every chance she gets and spreading gossips @ skool lol. the Window scenes where every nice, giving a look inside both characters and how they deal with situation they both face. I think the chemistry between the leads was very gud i had no prob with it.
