Mischievous Kiss

Gem indeed. The chemistry between the lead was superb. I love Jung So Min and Kim Hyun Joong. Bong Joon Gu was so lovable too. I love the ost and cinematography here. The storyline is good too.

Given that this was a 2010 drama it did exceed my expectations. Beautiful drama.

I'll rate this 9.1 because it's already 2022 but man, this was really really good for a 2010 drama.

Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min is a must.

Diamond.

9.1/10.

A college student Oh Ha Ni played by Jung So-min has been in love for years with Baek Seung-jo played by Kim Hyun-joong the most handsome student in school. He does not like stupid girls and sadly she is not very clever and is accident prone as well. They both have other people who like them and friends and family who support or oppose the possibility her charm could win him over. This is a light romantic comedy which is easy viewing, I do wish they had made the lead a little less cold as for most of the series I just became frustrated that she loved him no matter how he treated her. That said a good supporting cast and the endearing charm of Jung So-min makes it worth a watch.

Currently on Netflix (2016) this series is known as "Playful Kiss" for US viewers. I've seen the story before titled "Mischievous Kiss: Season 1 and Season 2," done by the Japanese. That series was undoubtedly influenced by this South Korean version, which was done first.

At any rate, I really enjoyed both versions. There are very slight differences but the core story remains the same: girl likes boy who could not care less about her... until events unfold that give her small bits of hope, like crumbs left on the ground to follow a path. It's how the story unfolds that draws us in. Many times I laughed out loud. Often I had a silly grin on my face. There were times I couldn't stop the watery eyes. I was rooting for Oh Ha Ni all the way - her character was just so adorable and spirited, and good. Oh, and she daydreams!

Anyone who enjoys love stories, no matter the culture, should enjoy this. I'm English-Irish American and I did! And I plan to watch it again. I could give spoilers, but why do that when one can just watch it to see if they like it? Don't look for perfection - look for the story, the intent - that's were the beauty is in "Mischievous Kiss" (2010).

I'm not a big fan of k-dramas, it's actually the first one I saw, and I felt in love...The story is simple, it's about a teenage girl who is in love with the most popular guy in school and so when she confesses her feelings he rejects her, but then her house is destroyed and she moves with his dad in his friend's house, and guess who's father he is? Predictable but still interesting. I loved the long way they both had to finally realize their feelings(especially for the guy who during a very long time "hates" her). It's a some sort of love/hate relationship. The acting is not great but OK, the two main actors have a good chemistry and it's always nice to look at them. It's a lovely and funny story about a conquest of the heart of the coldest guy even after multiple rejections. I think that if you're a romantic and want to watch something cute, this drama is for you!

This show radiates too much comfort for me, the characters are so cute, places amazing, Seung Jo's mother was one of my first women crushes when I was little :'') also didn't know this show has an anime version (shame) I will watch asap.
