So here it is! Tadaa! ~ I know you guys would probably skip my review since there are lot of reviews about it and the series' posters look awesome and promising for those planning to watch it but I don't care. lol haha I just feel like writing one. I honestly just finished it like 2 minutes ago. (w/c is ironic cause you don't care anyway) But man, the feels! They're killing me. Ok, so here it goes. *whew* ~ I love it. It's so... revolutionary! ... So bold! CLAP CLAP HAHA But kidding aside, it's one heck of a whirlwind drama. When the show was like still on the news and over-all new - slash - fetus stage, I was like meh, kay, I'll "try" to watch it. Almost anyone in this world is probably aware of the plot. Even I but I won't put that into scenario cause that would just probably ruin the whole point of an uhmm... unprejudiced report. Got any tissues? The review is only beginning. K here it goes again. The story. If I were a newbie who's not very fond of Kdramas, JDoramas, TDramas (Tdramas?!), I would probably get hooked with them if I watch this drama. The story's simple. Basic. Maybe a little too basic for that part. It's about a girl who falls in love with a guy out of her league. Stereotype, I know right. But that's just what anyone can relate to. I mean, we all fall for some crush beyond our reach. Everyone in this world has likely fallen in that bittersweet phase of lurve. We are only humans after all. Uhm, to make it more simple, ItaKiss is like Princess Hours, sending feel-good sensations to every hopeless romantic out there. It's similar in a way that it makes us reminisce on those what-if moments. What if my high school crush turned out to be the love of my life? What if I get to be with the hottest guy/gal in school? It makes us remember those fluttery feelings of the heart. And that what makes ItaKiss special. As for the casting, I couldn't agree more. Miki (Aihara Kotoko) brings happiness to the screen whenever she appears. She's like the epitome of all Japanese girls. She's a blast :) As for Yuki (Irie Naoki) well, he's a handsome lad! They look too good together. As a fan of the show, I like did a little research on the actors playing cause they were really good and I just learned that they were 10 years apart. IMAGINE! TEN TEN TEN YEARS APART! And I did some searching on other sites cause I can't believe myself. But then I just had to cause well, it's reality. But who'd knew right? I mean, Yuki's just too adorable for his age and I might as well say, he's the epitome of all Japanese men SO does age really matter? HECK NO HAHA! As long as the chemistry's right, it's okay. But I gotta note that I worship the female lead for having to act with a tall, handsome, okay maybe perfect Japanese actor (WHO BTW SPEAKS FLUENT ENGLISH). I was like, "Isn't that intimidating?" lols but then I thought, WORK IT, SISTER! YOU GO GIRL HAHAHA (she's so luckyy :3) Overall, they fitted flawlessly in their respective parts. Everyone did. I gotta admit, it's one of the best castings around. :) Yuki's subtle, Miki's sweet, the mother OH GOSH WHO WOULDN'T LOVE HER, the little brother and his arrogance, the plump father and the list goes on and on. I like how they put emphasis not just on the two leads but to everybody. You can obviously see each character's progression. That's just really lovely cause it polishes the story even more. As for music, the OST is just totes awesome! There's like this opening sequence in every episode and sigh~ it's just toooo cute! Watch the series but mind you: ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY SKIP THE OPENING SONG. HAHAHAHA As for the instrumentals, well, Japanese makes the best of them. I couldn't agree more. Rewatch Value! Uhm 10. Cause it's GV. GV EVERYWHERE (As you can see, I'm rushing toward the end. So sleepy grr) And for the overall, BIG TEN. I GIVE IT TWO THUMBS UP. MAYBE FOUR, INCLUDING MY FAT BIG TOES. But then again I'll look stupid if I raise them up. But anyhoo, you just can't not love ItaKiss no matter how numb, frozen, anaesthetized being you are (WHAT ARE YOU? SOME TIN MAN FROM OZ? GOSH! IT'S THE 20TH CENTURY, SPREAD THE LOVE PEOPLE). If I were to watch ItaKiss for the second or the third or the fourth time around, I would fall in love with it all over again. It's like Hana Kimi or Kung Fu Hustle... goes better every single time. So zzzzz... That's me sleeping. Some of you probably spent minutes reading my review. Thanks. Though it wasn't much of a review since I myself can't proclaim I'm a critic. But words cannot just plainly describe the feels of this too good a series. So if you want to know more about it, you got no choice but to watch it baby ;) Till next time~
