Both had a hapless, hopeless romantic lead protagonist that went to great lengths and often made fools of themselves over a man. I said, how 'Bridget Jone's Diary' would be an adult, 'R' rated version, while this would be the high school, family equivalent. I wrote in the forum part for this drama about how it completely compared to 'Bridget Jone's Diary'. Yes, mostly at the expense of Oh Ha Ni, but in the sweetest way imaginable. This drama had spunk and had loads of REAL laughs. The closest we get is shlock filled, syrupy, inane dramas on like ABC Family that are as deep as a puddle and as interesting as insurance forms.
#PLAYFUL KISS ENG SUB EP 16 TV#
I do not believe I have watched ANYTHING like this in my life! I am American and our purity on TV left decades ago. This was completely devoid of that!!!!!!! It blew me away. The 'hated' one or several in some dramas. The overbearing parent, the evil in-law, the person at school or work or wherever that serves as the antagonist. Why 'apparently'? It left many of the sinister tropes behind. I think I have a fairly well rounded resume, you can peruse my list if you like, but I have never watched one like 'Playful Kiss'.apparently. I have around 20 under my belt as of writing this review. This drama is purely about the positive.Ī short preamble of sorts. I DO NOT really want to make this negative. It makes me wonder what they were watching, but I have my opinion and as I said, I will cover that later. They even took exception with the mother encouraging this. I see how it made her look dependent, stalker, etc. Which I will deal with later.but a HUGE 'PFFT' – whatever. I have to immediately share that I have read much of the hate or criticisms of this drama.mostly about Oh Ha Ni's 'pathetic' puppy dog love and her incessant pursuit of Baek Seung Jo. I am likely going to come at this in a somewhat unique angle. Playful Kiss was pure, heartfelt joy for me. However, I do not think I will be emphatic enough of how this Kdrama affected me no matter how much I try. I have thought many times how I should start this review. Also, I hope you give my perspective some consideration. I haven't wrote a lot of reviews yet, but this one forced my hand. Rewatch Value 10 READ THIS IF YOU WANT A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE OF THIS DRAMA
