When I saw that Kim Hyun Joong was the lead for this drama I went wild. Even though i wasn't a HUGE fan of Boys Before Flowers i did like it, but I LOVED Hyun Joong as Ji Hoo. so naturally i started watching. I sooo wanted to like this drama, but it was impossible. Most of the blame should go to the writers of this drama, cause the story sucked big time. Hyun Joong did a decent job acting but like i said it was more of the crap role he got landed with instead of his acting ability cause i've seen him in other dramas and he can do much better than this. Oh Ha Ni on the other hand had a horrible script to go by and she also wasn't a very good actress. she wasn't terrible either, like i said the main fault lies with the writers. they made Oh Ha Ni the biggest stalker of all time, even by asian drama standards her character was super creepy and obsessive. And of course you know they're gonna get together in the end, and while in other dramas the annoying girl and the snob guy finally find middle ground and i can understand their relationship. in Playful kiss however i honestly don't understand how Hyun Joong's character falls for Oh Ha Ni...she's a stalker. the over "cuteness" of the already predictable story was almost unbearable. there were multiple times when i just wanted to give up and stop watching. the only thing that kept me going was my deep dislike of not finishing dramas, if not for that i would have ditched this drama after the first three episodes. idk maybe im being too harsh, and perhaps one day i'll go back and re-watch it, but for now i can say that this is the worst drama i've ever watched
