Almost every korean drama fan seemed to have Playful Kiss on their top ten drama list,when i checked Youtube.so i got pretty excited to watch it.the beginning was really funny and all,but Baek Seung Jo and Oh Ha Ni had absolutely no chemistry.after around episode 8 the story wasn't even funny anymore,it just kept dragging.Plus, Oh Ha Ni was too embarassing to watch.really!i was disappointed and annoyed with the characters.

I really enjoyed this drama, it was funny, with a lot of silliness and foolish behavior, the story wasn't credible, the series did not portray some romantic real life happenings, but I guess that is why I enjoyed it so much!
If you are looking for something relaxing and you're aren't concerned with how a show usually tries to make the story a tad bit credible, than this drama will be to your fancy!
The whole script is fairy-tale like, an impenetrable handsome, smart and charming prince and the ugly duckling, silly, baka, but honest and with true innocent love for the prince.
If one were to over-think this drama, sure the female character would be considered clingy, a simpleton with no self esteem and will or pride, but the show is not a slice-of-life, it just overly conveys the idea that the characters are fairy tale depictions ( as suggested from the very first few minutes of the show, with her chasing the unicorn).
I loved the characters interaction, I loved the lengths to which the female lead went to show her love and support, I really enjoyed the story development and the silly comedy, the supporting cast was extremely good, especially the mother and her 2 best friends, and I loved how the series was just so well rounded, with a great ending and and awesome character evolution.
It isn't a life changing drama, but it gets you to laugh and forget about real life worries, intricate problems or what-nots.

The first few minutes when it started were soo cheesy to me I was about to give up then it become normal. Kim hyung joong dint really impress me with his acting he's such a flower boy. Anyways as the drama kept on I was captured by joongs mother and I was hooked. I watched it in two days. The girl was annoying when she kept following him excessively then crying then saying she will move on but doesn't. Boong ju the busan boy was quite an interesting character too. It had many kisses than in normal dramas that have one or two

First, the show was fun, was getting interesting and had a warm ending. I like the characteristic of everyone. They complemented well and the way they grow up and matured was good. I really like Oh Ha Ni since somehow I could relate to her and I was wondering maybe I need someone like Baek Seung Jo :))
But he is mostly emotionless :< but his smile was priceless :D
So I guess his okay. It's funny that his brother will seem experience the same love xD

and... There's one thing I was wondering.. What happened to the guy who confessed to Oh Ha Ni? He just showed up for such a short time and it's weird.

Anyway, it was still nice ^^

well this drama really is great .............hot boys cute girls n everything but if u actually consider it more i would never wanna be a girl who would chase such an arrogant,stubborn,egoistic kind of boy but he had his cute side too if it had been me i would have given way long before
the music is great the songs are really amazing

the cast is FANTASTIC their acting was great n that is one of the reasons i watched it if u ask me this is 100 times much better than it started with a kiss

if ur a romance fan u should really watch it...

My first Korean drama! It's a pleasant memory for me. I like so much! The arrogant Baek Seung Jo can to be sweet like Ha Ni ^^ This is one of the cutest series!!! I offer for young girls or for people who like nice stories! It's an interesting relationship between the characters but I think it isn't impossible in the real life too. I like this dorama, it's kind for me :)

I thought the leads and the supporting cast performed very well, the characters were very believable and there was very little stretching of the imagination.
Ummm...but again, if I were Oh Ha Ni's father there'd be no way in hell I would want my daughter to be with an arrogant, condescending prick like Baek Seung Jo just because he's good looking. I mean, talk about low self-esteem! Wow!

For me, if you've watched one, you've watched them all. Playfull kiss doesn't stray too much of the original story, though they did add some of the korean playfulness in it. There were some notes from the Princess's hour as well (see the stuffed bears in the end of the episodes). And it did start nicely, although, I must confess, I didn't expect much from the male lead. However, it was cute, even though the story was full of cliche and the leading lady was a silly, airheaded girl. But, the drama got boring halfway. It lost all the interesting chemistry that the couple had and the cat and dog game got tiring. So, overall, 5 out of 10 for playful kiss.

This review may contain spoilers
When I first started watching it i got hooked, a couple days off work and I finished the series in 2 days.
I think I watched it so intensity because I was waiting for somthing to happen between the main characters. My opinion is that seung jo doesn't deserve ha ni, these was hardly no romance between these two. Bits and pieces hardly. I'm sitting here like, let some Btch talk to me like that, let some guy treat me like that, I'd quit the tennis club if I was her. Nothing made sense in the end, he treated her like garbage. Even if that was supposed to be in "personality".

-spoilers don't read if you haven't watched the end-








The eposide when she got married to seung joke he took her on a honey moon, he let this women hang on him and walked with her. What the hell was that I was so mad I never been so mad about a show. Then when they get home and go to school he meets the girl he was seeing before he decided to marry ha ni. He walks away from his unofficial wife and let's this girl hang off him.





In conclusion it wasn't all bad I liked it, but yknow it wasn't great either. I wouldn't watch this or read the manga in that case again.

I think if you go into this drama with no expectations, it will surprise you. I have not read the manga, but I have watched other adaptations of this drama. And while I enjoy the Japanese remake better, this drama has a special place in my heart and has its own special aura.

The story is straight forward and somewhat cliche, and the acting isn't over the top or remarkable either, but there's a heart in this drama that will make you want to root for the girl. It's a perfect drama to watch as a teenager. I'd have to disagree with some reviews claiming that it showed Oh Hani, the main girl, as senseless. I think it actually depicted somewhat realistically just how swept up some teenagers can get in love interests, that it becomes the whole world to them, but they come to realize that adulthood has many aspects and finding romance is just one of them. Of course the cold male lead ridiculing the young girl is not something anyone wants to support, but this drama doesn't justify him being an asshole either. It instead does show character development and a budding romance between the two leads. I felt like the nearly robotic way the male lead portrayed himself in the beginning wasn't something that deviated out of character, and instead was portrayed fine.

One review said that the mom was helping Oh Hani stalk her own son: well they two leads are living in the same house, it's hard to be depicted as a stalker when you are residing in the same place in all honesty. The mom is actually one of the best reasons to watch this drama. She does want the two to get together because she's always longed for a daughter, but she isn't forceful and doesn't get in the way of the relationship either. It was refreshing to see a Kdrama mum be all over the female lead instead of being against her.

Overall this drama is worth dipping your toes into at least once. I found a special spark this drama had, if you don't feel it that's fine, but it definitely is worth looking into.
