It Started with a Kiss is a solid drama with great acting, wonderful characters and a cute story. This drama remains one of my favorites and the only drama that I've ever fully re-watched in its entirety. This drama captivated me from the very first scene, where Xiang Qin gives Zhi Shu her love letter and he in response asks her if she has nothing better to do with her time. The fluid acting and chemistry between the actors is what sets this drama apart from the other versions of the series. The subtle acting is what made this drama for me, for example, even when Zhi Shu's appears cold and indifferent towards Xiang Qin he is constantly taking glances at her when she looks away. It Started with a Kiss had a great supporting cast. There were no over the top villains or truly unlikable characters. Zhi Shu's family in particular, especially his mother was quite hilarious with her not-so-subtle hits and interfering. When watching dramas I'm always rooting for the male lead and female lead and I find second leads to be annoyances to the main couple, but in this drama I seriously questioned who the female lead should end up with. Ah Jin as a character with his unwavering love was quite endearing and his final confession to Xiang Qin really drew on my sympathy (it gave me the same feeling as Jeremy's confession in You're Beautiful). So overall It Started with a Kiss is a great light-hearted drama filled with likable characters and entertaining humor that takes you through a journey of unrequited love.
