The Irie in this version got the most mercy with Kotoko. In all the other versions( only one I didn't watch was the anime) Irie was in diffrent to her feelings up to the confession part.
At least he really enjoys being with Kotoko at times. He may not show it to Kotoko, but he cares for her.
I'm all for Irie in this version.

If she would have showed any desires and direction for her life other than chasing after a boy I could maybe buy into the view she was a girl who knew what she wanted and went after it. I have a daughter and I would chain her to a chair if she acted like Oh Ha Ni...or allowed herself to keep chasing after a boy who showed no interest...again and again and again and again.
Oh Ha Ni was a sour in the eye. She was so aggressive in all her doing. Just as if she kind of got stuck on her goal (get Irie forgot his korean name).
Playfull Kiss was the worst in displaying Irie and Kotoko/ Oh Ha Ni wasn't that naive innocent girl she should be.

Sorry my beloved Japan, I know I betrayed you a little but it's the truth.
The tversion was on a diffrent caliber. Ariel Lin did a great job.
