What I liked the most was that they didn't portray as much how aggressive Yano was towards Takahashi in the first part as he was in the manga. I really hated him for so many things and I still hate him, I'm sorry lol I completely understand what he was dealing with but he made a mistake and hurt Takahashi so much that I always dreamed that he won't stay with her.

Likewise, Takahashi, young and adult, was a strong character. She is not the typical silly protagonist who allows everything, she is intelligent, she says what she feels and does not dwell on the lies she tells Yano, she goes deeper making Yano recognize everything she really did and happened.

Sincerely Nana's sister (Yano's dead girlfriend). She's... a crazy bitch. She is so crazy and bad that she has no limits. She really wanted her to suffer for her entire life for being so bad, the worst thing is that people like her exist and it's scary.

I really enjoyed the movie, it goes from an innocent love to something that becomes a very twisted story.

The performances were very good and I sincerely recommend it. But you really won't stop hating Yano, sorry lol

Well, since I had already read the manga a long time ago, I didn't really find Kou's actions irritating because I had already insulted him so much in the manga that I took it out quite a bit on him at the time.

Now that I've grown up and look at it from Kou's perspective. I can understand Kou, let's not forget that he is a teenager so at his age very stupid things are said. Since he was the one who took care of his mother the most in the hospital, it was obvious that her death will cause him trauma. The same thing happened to my father when my grandmother died and he was a 56-year-old person. He was locked in my house for a year so that no neighbor would ask him anything and to this day, every time it is her birthday he brings her flowers and talks to her. Since my grandmother my family has never been the same. We no longer celebrate any celebrations, like Christmas and things like that. Imagine on a teenager what a big impact that must have been.

So he felt obligated to be with Narumi, out of a feeling of guilt because she said she had no friends (that in the manga is a lie, Narumi did have friends) and he used a lot of emotional tack to keep him as long as she could.

But to his surprise, this ended when he realized that he was really losing Futaba, the only one who made him happy. So he himself decided to cut off relations with Narumi. I really liked him when Narumi asks him if he ever liked him and he gives a resounding "no."Ouch, that must have hurt hahaha but she deserved it for being manipulative.

I also really liked Futaba's attitude, with Kou it was always "you rejected me, so don't think about seeing my stupid face again." It was really difficult for Kou to get Futaba back because she was quite reticent towards him.

Futaba tried really hard to make things work out with Kikuchi, she felt guilty and tried not to make Kikuchi feel insecure. But here I want to say that Kikuchi was quite manipulative too, he practically forced Futaba to give him an answer, even though she reiterated that she still had feelings for Kou but he still forced Futaba, to the point that her friends, especially one, he couldn't stop treating herlike a slut, making Futaba feel worse. You know, she was clear to you from the beginning and she never guaranteed anything, what the hell did you expect? lol That's why I didn't feel bad at all when Futaba broke up with him, since he brought this on himself by wanting to force things.

Teenagers are just that, teenagers. They can make mistakes a thousand times and still learn. Meeting new friends that make your life more bearable and a lot of crazy things we do when we are in love, especially if you are a teenager.

Don't expect very mature attitudes, when they are that. Teenagers.

I really enjoyed it, everyone acted well and I really felt like I was watching the manga in real people because they even tried hard to make the actors look as physically similar as possible.

I really enjoyed this drama! I think it gave a good adaptation to the manga compared to the movie.

It is a very sweet and commemorative drama. It makes you think a lot about how people with these disabilities live, since even the character of Evan Lin makes it clear, and makes you think that we should be grateful to be healthy.

Wen Peng's character is fine for me. Since his clumsiness, tenacity and even his childish attitude made him able to open up and try to be happy.
For Evan Lin's debut he did very well. It is not easy to play a person with these disabilities and the chemistry between Evan and Wen was sensational.

Honestly, it was the first time that I only wanted to see the interaction of the protagonists because with their chemistry everything became boring.

I sincerely recommend it very much. I was very moved watching it. So 100/100 recommended

I started watching this drama because I was bored. I guess sometimes from dramas that you don't expect anything, they tend to be a big surprise! And this was it. Pleasantly.

From the beginning i'm was hooked and although there are situations that made me laugh because they were absurd, I was still hooked to know what would happen with Nao and Tsubaki; who had really killed Tsubaki's father and if Nao was willing to forgive him, despite everything.

This drama has so many twists and turns that you don't really expect what will happen, which makes it unsure if Tsubaki and Nao would finally stick together. Not because they were a toxic couple but because the circumstances that surrounded them + like both of them, willing or not, had injured each other a lot, it was not known if they were capable of forgiving each other.

That part was very realistic because they loved each other but they still had in mind what was happening between them and that it would not be easy for them.

The soundtrack was very good and the acting was great too so I highly recommend it.

I am a huge fan of Strobe edge. It was the first manga I read by Io Sakisaka and I loved it.

The story is very simple and cliché actually but I still like the manga that give off innocence such as the first love and everything that this entails but when I saw the cast I knew that it would not work and I was not wrong.

Arimura does not strike me as a good actress. She has seen her in other dramas and she always has the same face. She is not expressive at all and she was not a good choice to represent Ninako. She never conveyed the sweetness of the real Ninako to me. She just looked like a girl without expression.

And Sota ... I'm sorry but she doesn't seem like a good actor either. I love Ren and maybe that's why it was painful for me to see him play him because he didn't do a good job.

Neither of them had chemistry and they didn't convey anything to me.

I would really only recommend that you stick with the manga and that's it.

This movie exists because the drama was a disaster.

When I made my review, I stated that the biggest conflict that existed was between the director (who did what she wanted) and the author (whose ideas and calls were not respected).

Considering this and with an angry Korean audience it was normal that they wanted to do a "compensatory".

I really have no idea why some actors agreed to be in the movie and others didn't but the webtoon was portrayed in a good way. Of course, if you compare it to the drama, it seems very little. But it's not that bad, it's just not a big deal and it was noted that it was made to calm the waters a bit. That if, if you don't know the story previously, you will surely think "What the hell am I seeing?" because it's quite confusing trying to suppress so much in such a short time.

I was excited when I read that there would be another adaptation (you know, it's never enough lol) although I would know that it would not top Yuki's performance and Miki was looking forward to it.

Also because I saw that the actress was really excited and somehow her enthusiasm was transmitted to me. The cast didn't have much recognition, so I saw that there really was not a great expectation for the film in Japan but I still decided to wait. I said, "Maybe it will surprise me."

However, I must have realized that something was wrong at the time the trailer seemed ... lousy.

And that's how it is, the acting is very bad (even surpasses 1996). Everything happens very fast and there is no feeling whatsoever on the part of any actor.

Also in their second film they changed the actress from the mother and that seemed quite unfortunate to me.

It makes me sad because until the end of the credits they put drawings of Naoko and thanks are all fans but this movie and its prequels are terrible.

It would be fine if it was because they didn't have a big budget but they should at least act well or the director direct it properly.

The story is well adapted but it has no grace or value when you act as if you are reading a book.

I watched the movie 3 times, trying to make me like it, but I'm sorry. It's lousy.

There is something that I have always said and that is that I never get bored of seeing Itakiss adaptations.

Everyone always has something to innovate in and I really liked how they led the direction of adaptation.

This is a good example that you can make changes without removing the essence of Itakiss (as happened with the Thai version). They made a lot of changes but I felt like I was seeing the same story but with some alterations and that was great


I don't have much to say other than good acting, direction, chemistry and ost.

I recommend it.

The story is the same and there really isn't much to complain about because I think they addressed a lot of the story.

The big problem that I find with this adaptation is that it is, strangely, boring. And the main actors have absolutely no chemistry.

I can't tell if they act bad or good, it's just like neither of them has feelings and they just read the script.

That was my big problem with this adaptation. I do not know if I would recommend it or not because there are divided opinions regarding this adaptation. So I can only say that if you are bored, try watching it. Maybe you like it or it bores you like me.

With this story I entered the world of Itakiss, besides that it was the first drama I saw with my family, so I have great affection for it.

I can not say anything about Joe, he really is one of the best actors I have seen, because if you see him off camera, he is someone very charismatic and funny but he really interpreted Irie so well, that I only have words of praise for he.

As for Ariel, she is not the best Kotoko and she is very annoying many times (she is even cruel sometimes / more her friends are very cruel to her) but I would say that she really formed a chemistry with Joe, which I rarely saw.

The affection of the cast was noticed and made the screen go through and you see them as a royal family. People who really loved doing their job.

The story, in its first season, had its flaws, as well as its second part (which they lengthened and made it an unbearable melodrama) but if there is something that I rescue a lot from this adaptation is the laughs. You will never miss a laugh or a tear when you see it and you really don't get bored. It tells little by little how the love between the two was really born.

Despite its minor flaws, it is my second favorite adaptation so I really recommend it!

Like some reviews, I only saw this adaptation because I am a huge fan of Itazura Na kiss.

It was the first and I am very sorry that Naoko could not live to see a great adaptation of her manga such as Love in Tokyo 2013/2014.

The story is bad and does not resemble the real story one bit, except for some situations.
This Kotoko is unbearable with her screaming and Naoki is ... I think he's second worst besides Baek from Playful Kiss.

It's weird because the actors had offstage chemistry but not in the drama. Perhaps this was due to misdirection.

I really don' t recommend it, although maybe if you are a fan of itakiss, you only watch it to see another version but there is nothing remarkable about it.

I really think people are being a bit picky about this adaptation.

I didn't read the manga but I saw the Taiwanese version a few years ago already. However, I consider this drama a great adaptation!

He is fast, he goes to the concrete and the acting is very good. Also, I really liked how they put the episodes, as if you were reading a book or a manga, along with the 80s style.

I really sympathized with the characters and because of Rei's past, you really didn't know what was to come.

From my point of view this adaptation is very well achieved, it is entertaining and has a quite original execution.

If you can be impartial, I highly recommend seeing it! I watch it every time I get bored and it is a story that entertains me whenever I see it.

I highly recommend it.

Well I'm new to watching web dramas so it was the first time I was hooked on one. And mainly with a long one (yes, I know it has a prequel but I haven't seen it yet).

The actors, although they are newbies, acted very well. I mean, I see a great promising future for everyone.

The story is very good, although it seems simple. I mean, it's about guys in their 20s and their problems. Which sometimes, I portray the reality of some young people very well.

The family drama was great, and I think that was the focal point of the plot. My only complaint would be that they left a lot of loose cavities. For example, we knew that the protagonist had problems with his family but there was not really a resolution of it; more than he discovered the truth. The protagonist's friend was the one who left the most unknowns. His family seemed weird but none of that is ever described. They also left open their past with bullying and their friend. I think I suppose that this will be explained in the second season (since it is left open to that possibility)

Regarding the romance: I am not complaining about how rushed it was because after all it is a webdrama so things usually go fast lol but it is true that sometimes the chemistry seemed a bit uncomfortable. More than anything its silences.

Although there were many things under the inkwell, I liked it and it entertained me. And I look forward to a second season so I can see that they give a proper closure to all the characters.

Well I think people are a bit harsh on the concepts that the drama handled as "cute". After all it is the remake of a movie that already had that base lol But I really liked the drama a lot. I firmly believe that it surpasses the movie.

Miao Miao, our protagonist, is evolving step by step and not only because she was in love. Her had his own goals and fight for them! It was really lovely to see her go from being a shy and insecure girl to a determined, strong, talented and persevering woman.

I also really liked Liang. He is not a "perfect" being and in all his stages I saw him as a very human character. But most of all I liked his relationship with Miao Miao, which was very healthy from the beginning. He really was very kind and encouraged her to follow her dreams.

And their courtship was also very credible because it happened naturally. The whole cast was perfect overall and although there are misunderstandings, you can understand them. When you are really young, misunderstandings are frequent.

I liked it because there was no really bad character (except Miao Miao's roommate) and they all helped each other grow.

It is a highly recommended drama ♡

As is known, Naoko (the creator of the manga) died suddenly and this story never had an end. The only thing left was what she had told her husband.

For this reason, those who did a second part took different courses for the end (since they did not have one). But hands down, again, this is the best.

It is not just seeing Irie and Kotoko grow as a married couple or as individuals, but the great ending so beautiful that this adaptation have.

The ending where the two of them are walking together with their daughter, with that little conversation that seems to say nothing but harbors many feelings between them was, simply, beautiful and always cried when I see again. Not sadness, but happiness.

Really his first and second part were beautiful with a great performance.

I can only really recommend that you see it ♡ you will not regret it.
