First of all, I did not expect this episode to capture me like this. I moved on to the 2nd and it;s just as good. If you suspend your disbelief and pretend you're watching a fantasy-historical-romance that has nothing at all to do with history and is entirely fabricated, this is some good stuff. As it is, it's also just a normal romance story with the normal ingredients. The cinematography is cool though.
The characters... I'm just watching for the romance between the OTP and of course, watching to see George Hu! Handsome, pretty, pretty, badly-costumed-but-perfect-smile George Hu!
Next thing - Nai Nai irks me. For such a talented and gifted seer, she sure is stupid, but I guess we need that to actually have a story. if Nai Nai would only explain their fates a bit, give them reasons why she is so strict, and don't push her poor grand-daughter to be humiliated by others, then maybe grand-daughter would listen a bit more. As it is, even I think Nai Nai is unreasonable and who in the world listens to an unreasonable grandparent?

While You Were Sleeping Episode 8

Awesome episode.
I love the OST. The song is perfect in the scenes it plays in.
Storyline is amazing. I'm loving this so much.
LJS's and Suzy's crazy moments add so much to the drama.
That preview though - I'm just ready to time skip to next week just to see it.

For this episode, I sincerely wished there was something like "Battle of the Mother-in-laws". Xiang Qin's MIL is a thousand, million times better than Ah-Bu's mom. The contrast is startling and shows just how lucky and loved Xiang Qin is. She takes Xiang Qin's side in everything, even against Zhi Shu. Makes me dream and hope I get a MIL like Zhi Shu's mom.

It Started with a Kiss Episode 20

I'm sorry.... The part that I most anticipated - the wedding - I had to skip through. It was funny as hell, but so horrible in the grand scheme of things. No man, how could you do that to me, writers? The rest of it was perfect though. Perfect.

Was just "meh". Thought it would have been better, given the events.

10 for the puppy. And that date. And what happened after that date. 10 for the laughs and for the not-so-little hints that he likes her. He was nice in this one. :)

Amusing episode. Actually, it was hilarious. They took what could have been serious scenes and and made it into a joy to watch. And - Zhi Shu... saying the word "stimulating" while you're half dressed does not hep your argument that you don't like her, dude.
This guy's in love. He just needs to know it lol.

While watching this I really had to ask myself if this really is a remake of Itazura Na Kiss. He is cold and distant to others yes, even his friend, but when he's in Xiang Qin's vicinity, the guy is so full of warmth and teasing. He loves to harass her. I love this version a lot. It's copious on the romance.
When his parents start making decisions, he's "You can't make that decision"one moment and the next, he saying things to encourage them. Not to mention, he later admits that he may like her. OMG. The guy is... sweet to watch. He's handsome too. Joe Cheng did a great job with Ariel Lin. I can even see their friendship. They're so comfortable with eachother.

This guy is definitely interested. I just begun the episode and four minutes in, I'm convinced of it. Am I watching something different? But no, he was like this too in the manga. All the other adaptations over dramatized (or underdramatized) his distant nature. This one is perfection.
But why they have to over dramatize her lack of intelligence? I think they go too far sometimes.

Now, in all the other versions i have watched... and I watched all of them... I was convinced up to the very end that Kotoko loved Naoki more than he could ever love her. I was also convinced that each version of Naoki loved that Kotoko was in love with him, and didn't actually love Kotoko herself. I realised I was mistaken after watching this episode.
I mean, his unconditional lover for her showed up in every single one of these 6 episodes, but it was crystal clear in this one. Crystal. This episode and this rendition of Naoki masquerading as Zhi Shu gave me a complete understanding of the character in a way nothing but the manga did. Actually, I think it surpasses the manga because Joe Cheng brings so many emotions to the table.
I change my mind now. This episode was sweet and it taught me how to fight for a marriage and that most times, the fighting inside the marriage is kind of pointless lol. Zhi Shu definitely loved Xiang Qin more than enyone would ever know, including her. The man puts his heart and soul in it.

Okay, so I'm watching this and I'm convinced an alien took over Zhi Shu's body. He's so goddamn sweet to his wifey. Where is the cold closed off dude? He's a little practical but he's so in love with his wife, it's kind of nauseating if I didn't love it so much. When he looks at her, no one could mistake that he loved her. I mean, he could be a little more open and communicative, but that's their biggest problem. Also, Xiang Qin knew who she was marrying and that he had trouble talking lol.
This is the best version of Irie Naoki (not the truest - that award goes to Love in Tokyo 2) that I love the guy. His wife is his everything. I'm not seeing cold dude. I'm seeing a man who love to smile at and look at his wife. So freaking sweet. It must be an alien in his body. Must be!

This show is amazing. I love the sound effects and the actress's reactions and facial expressions. Most of all, I love the relationships between the 2 female leads. It's nice to see a drama where women get along and support each other, instead of fight over a guy. Love! I also like how the characters harbour no ill will towards each other so far. I'm speaking of the 2 leads, their friends (and the fiancee), the assistant, and the exes. No one back bites anyone. In fact, they support and kind of look out for each other's best interests even while doing going about their own business.
