It ended with a Kiss!

Tweet

Playful Kiss ends this week. Both ep15 an 16 are up at viikii.net with eng subs.

Ep15 marks the wedding and honeymoon scenes and ep16 wraps everything up. If you previously watched ISWAK and TKA (TwDrama) you can say they rushed the ending BUT for me I am good with it.

No, I retract my statement, I love the ending!

I feel so proud of Oh Ha Ni (Jung So Min)! She indeed matured and got her wishes from husband Baek Seung Jo (KimHyun Joong) to her career choice (to become a Nurse since Seung Jo is studying to be a Doctor). That is due to her persistence and perseverance. If it were me I'm sure I gave up already.

And Baek Seung Jo is such a charmer. Just smile and I'll forget everything else.

Did I say anything?

Time out with MGIG (since I’ve watched all eps to date), time for PK!

As I’ve said in my previous posts (sorry for being makulit), PK is the Korean adaptation of Itazura na Kiss (Jdrama, anime and manga) and It Started With A Kiss (TwDrama).

ISWAK is one of my fave TwDrama so I really set my eyes for PK, not to mention Kim Hyun Joong (Ji Hoo of BOF) will play the male lead.

So much with the intro, let’s get to the drama itself.

As most of the Kdramaddicts out there, ep 1 was a huge disappointment: story, acting and rating-wise. But I did not falter (like in ISWAK I nearly gave up watching it after watching the first few eps) and sure enough the story and acting picked up as they move to the next ep. Not sure about the ratings though. KHJ is slowly proving his worth as an actor not just a pretty boy.

I’m done last night with ep 4 and I can’t wait to watch ep 5 and 6 which are scheduled to be shown next Wed and Thurs at MBC Korea (so we have to wait for 2 to 3 days for the eng subbed).

I’m pretty confident this will be the next big KDrama to hit the Asian boobtube.

KDrama: Playful Kiss

This is definitely BIG! as in B-I-G!

Sometime ago, I wrote about the Korean adaptation of Itazura na Kiss (JDrama) or ISWAK- It Started With A Kiss (TwDrama) being under serious consideration. And now they finalize the cast and guess who will play the male lead?

Kim Hyun Joong oppa! Remember Ji Hoo of BOF - Boys Over Flowers. Premier is set to be on September 1, can't wait!

But according to the grapevine, Lee Min-Ho was first offered the part but he declined. Hmm, should I be disappointed?

I think it is LMH's loss since I really like the Taiwanese adaptation ISWAK and TKA - They Kissed Again played by Ariel Lin and Joe Chen. So I really think this would be another BIG hit just like BOF.

The female lead was offered to a newcomer Jung So Min.

Sticky Note: Playful Kiss , Korea ’s adaptation of Itazura na Kiss

After Boys Over Flower, Korea will soon work on their adaptation of the manga and anime Itazura na Kiss. It has previously been made into JDrama and TwDrama.

Remember ISWAK? It Started With A Kiss that made Ariel Lin and Joe Chen a household pair, it was followed by They Kissed Again.

We expect Playful Kiss to get as much attention as BOF.

Who will play the lead roles? Wanna bet?

But we have to wait until next summer to watch it.
