I felt that this is one of the few lakorns that doesn't make me blood boil that much. Thai dramas usually have so many irritating characters that sometimes I have to pause the drama and cool myself down before I could continue. Although, there were still annoying characters but not to the point that will make me clench my teeth.

Next, one of the downsides is that their bickering part is way too much (though there were only 12 episodes) but probably I just felt that they could have more sweet scenes after they got together. Just not enough for me.

Still, overall it's a lakorn that makes me want to rewatch again soon (though I have just finished watching it).

My friend recommended this movie to me and said that all her cabin crew friends say it was a great movie. As previously I had a trip coming, so I decided to download the movie and watch it on the flight (how daring of me). PLEASE DO NOT DO WHAT I DID, UNLESS YOU WANT A 4D EXPERIENCE. While watching, with just a little turbulence, I had my heart dropped onto the ground and both hands holding tight to the armrest. But it was a really good movie and I think it really deserves a good rating. Btw, at the start of the movie, you actually see different types of passengers. Do not think these type of passengers/ customers don't exist, they do and all kind of, even those you can't think of so don't be one.

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.

After watching just the first episode, the first thing I do was to come here and read reviews about the love-line. Lots of people dropped the drama cause of the love-line. I seriously prefer no love line than having Lu Yao and Bai Youning together, cutting out the BL scenes doesn't mean you must still have a love-line to attract viewers. I actually was looking forward to the drama entirely just for my interest in watching detective/solving genre shows. Luckily I came here first to get my heart prepared.

Btw, I really like the opening song. That rapper is good.

Okay I'm on the second episode, soon, I won't be able to take this woman anymore... Any kindhearted person who can edit out all the scenes with that woman and let me watch peacefully.
