Okay so I wasn't overly impressed on this version of Itazura na Kiss at all.
There was only one thing I liked about it which was the soundtrack as it went pretty well to the entire drama.
The things I honestly didn't like the most was that;
1. The acting was bad, as they didn't seem realistic enough to the parts they played like you know when acting is good because when it gets to a heart feeling part it either makes you cry or you get sudden butterflies, you know? I never had any of those feelings between the two main characters.
2. They missed out on the best parts of the Manga. (not going to spoil which parts so if you haven't seen it and you watch it and you've already read the manga before you'll understand what I mean).
3. The actors could not get into their character's personalities, as for example the J vers of Naoki Irie was a lot better as he could relate really well to the character as he did the same major in university as Naoki did and had the same attitude he did and also looked overall like an actual genius, with the character from this story he didn't look smart and a well known genius so it made the part look really poor and bad.
& 4. The actors they also picked looked nothing alike to the manga version as that is probably not as important to some people but to me it is, I mean if they looked somewhat similar i would of been somewhat more satisfied on that part but nope they looked nothing alike whatsoever which was highly disappointing for me considering I'm a huge manga geek and I've read Itazura na Kiss that many times I've lost count.
But overall I was highly disappointed in this drama, I would not recommend it to anyone.
