Not because korean or taiwanese versions are not good, but because there are some things just japanese culture can express when it comes to manga/dorama adaptations. Rewatch Value 7.0 I was planning to see this since when it came out.įor series made out of mangas, I think japanese versions are better. I'm really glad it got a second season even if I already know how it's going to end but the drama's amazing characters and its sweet aura will definitely manage to keep me interested throughout its second run. And again, that was exactly what I expected from it. The drama has its fun moments, not to the point where I'd like, laugh out loud or anything but enough to make me smile and feel good when watching them. Still, loved them both together and individually. I loved their chemistry, even if (no) thanks to the author, Irie Naoki's character is difficult to understand (to the point you just want to shake the hell outta him) and Aihara Kotoko's one is way too dumb to not be frustrated with her at some point. Now yes, the over the top acting (especially the main actress) was kinda off-putting at first but once I got past it, I really got fond of the characters and the main couple. INK Love in Tokyo managed to still be interesting to me even though I knew the plot (and its twists) by heart. well, not so good actors and even though I love the story, I couldn't help but being hella bored while watching Playful Kiss. The taiwanese one was way too long and therefore was boring at times and the korean one. I'm a huge fan of the anime version and I have seen both taiwanese and korean drama versions and I gotta say INK Love in Tokyo beats them both. Now it's not a masterpiece either, but INK Love in Tokyo has a good plot, lovable characters and an overall aura of lightness and it was exactly what I expected from it.

No melodrama, no tears just for the sake of crying. Watching Itazura na Kiss was a really sweet experience. Rewatch Value 8.0 There's something about japanese dramas that korean ones can't seem to have.
