Mischievous Kiss

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.

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!

Just loved some of the supporting characters especially the mother played to perfection by Jung Hye-young. She is the perfect antidote to the evil mother in law found in many K dramas. This show is funny and I laughed many times every episode . Yes the heroine is old fashioned even by 2010 standards. She isn't smart and she loves her man no matter how he treats her. Still Jung So Min is cute as a puppy here. Feminists might not like this story. But there are some girls like that. So what's wrong with making a show about people like her? Fresh off Boys over Flowers, Kim Hyung Joon is quite good at playing the hero with brains but personality issues, High IQ and low EQ. The old sunbae is hilarious as is Bong Joon-gu. Fans of action star Lee Si Young get to see her in a feminine role. So many funny lines by all the different characters including the little brother. This show moves along from HS to college to marriage. It's a relaxing and happy show for a change without angst and frustration.

For me, if you've watched one, you've watched them all. Playfull kiss doesn't stray too much of the original story, though they did add some of the korean playfulness in it. There were some notes from the Princess's hour as well (see the stuffed bears in the end of the episodes). And it did start nicely, although, I must confess, I didn't expect much from the male lead. However, it was cute, even though the story was full of cliche and the leading lady was a silly, airheaded girl. But, the drama got boring halfway. It lost all the interesting chemistry that the couple had and the cat and dog game got tiring. So, overall, 5 out of 10 for playful 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.
