The bright female lead chases after the cold male lead who uncovers his soft spot for her—a trope as old as time but so well done in both dramas that it remains refreshing and tugs at your heartstrings. Both dramas are filled with sweetness that brings out the giddy romantic in you and makes you melt. The cast features an ensemble of characters you love through and through. You'll also see a familiar face in Hu Yi Tian (whether you're a fan or not) playing the stoic boy with some killer one-liners. Top of my recommendations list for anyone looking for something fun and sweet!
A love so beautiful (ALSB) is simply an uplifting show! You can't help but smile.
It's a show with lots of couple time.
ALSB is funny, super sweet, cute, and simply adorable. The genius boy is still cold but supportive in his own way. A common characteristic amongst high IQ individuals is lower empathy... but in ALSB the main male lead has family reasons for not having a higher EQ.
There are so many remakes, adaptations, and versions of the original Itazura Na Kiss-- and I thought the Thai version was the best-- until I I saw ALSB now in Feb 2018. The Thai version is sweeter than the original (2/3 Japanese, 1 Korean, and 2 Taiwanese versions) but it still pretty much follows the original storyline.

I CANNOT believe that nobody noticed these two shows have the EXACT same tropes-
- Airhead FL chases after honor student childhood friend who seems very cold to her. But he's actually just bad at expressing his feelings due to abandonment issues.
- Second FL has advantage in spending alone time with ML just because she's also an honor student.
- Second ML makes ML very jealous, which eventually helped him realize his feelings.

*bit of a spoiler*
1. Both are highschool dramas
2. Both talked about dreams and friendship
3. Puppy love, fresh and fluffy
4. what i feel was the same in both most especially is the SFL who has a crush on the ML. *spoiler* she doesn't have a good relationship w/ her family, and the ML knows her situation that he must not enclose w/ other ppl, so this results to ML & FL problem.
