well, I think this is pretty interesting when I do not have any desire to follow the others' steps as they are watching and discussing 'bout the newest Korean drama, i.e. Personal Taste which has been aired every Saturdays, 9.30p.m. on Channel U since couple weeks ago. Who knows it would be possibly the side effects of watching The Temptation of Wife. It was a best drama production which makes me feel so hard to watch another Korean drama. It might be a lousy production, ain't it?
however days getting boring while I am waiting for the next season of Vampire's Diary. So I decided to let myself go. Coincidentally, Hwee San told me that Kim Hyun Joong's new drama is aired on PPS. Thus, there is no reason for saying NO to Korea drama anymore.
Mischievous Kiss (abbreviation MK), is also known as Naughty Kiss or Playful Kiss. The drama is based off on the popular Japanese manga book, i.e. Itazura na Kiss, and the Taiwanese drama, i.e. It Started With a Kiss. The Japanese had produced Itazura na Kiss into soup opera in year 1996. Hmmm... 14 years ago. In other words, I watched the drama when I was only 10. No wonder I had forgotten much of the scenes but still remembered that the male actor was truly handsome, hohoho...
after the Japanese version, the same drama was later made into two Taiwanese shows. And in year 2010, the manga is being adapted to a Korean drama.
so far I had watched 4 episodes of the drama on PPS. And there is nothing to hide 'bout. Good means good, or vice versa. Although Hyun Joong is the selling-point of this drama, but I cannot deceive myself that this is a good drama, particularly when it is not. Why am I saying so?
first of all, there are copious of similarities between MK and Goong Princess Hours. Lacking of creativity. Obviously they are adapted from two different story plots, but somehow it turns out to be sequel of Goong. And for Korea plastic surgeons' sake, even the female main actor do look like Yoon Eun Hye. Goong indeed! No wonder people said, the Korea handsome guys and pretty girls do look the same.
besides that, the two main actors are poor in acting, I shall say. Hyun Joong never improve! The way he smiles, he walks, he talks... everything... is SAME.
in spite of it, I like the bright colors they used in the drama. From school equipments to every single little props. They look lovely.
after all, the drama is still airing in Korea. Hopefully we may get something new that could eventually become the best selling-points of the drama instead of replying on Hyun Joong only. Hope so.
