Wow. So I’ve known about ISWAK for a long time now, but never bothered to watch it because it looked a bit too silly for my liking. I’m in my 40’s, so watching a teen manga show isn’t something I would gravitate towards. I also don’t enjoy shows where the female lead is childish, ridiculously innocent, naive, immature, incapable of doing anything on her own, and clumsy, like you see so often in these dramas. And yet the male lead somehow is attracted to this overgrown child. This show is the exception. All of the above happens, but it WORKS. Against all odds, this and it’s sequel are in my top 5 dramas of all time. Words cannot describe how much I love this drama. Yes, you will find some things that will make your skin crawl...don’t get me started on Christine and her dad’s lack of an English accent even though they are British royalty. But, overall this show is one of the best.
