[J-drama] Love in Tokyo 2 is airing~

25 days until Christmas

Yoohoo~ For the first time I wait for Mondays since forever. Actually I'm a huge fan of Itazura na kiss ( Playful kiss in Japanese version), it is airing the second season every Monday with English subtitle.

I'm personally fond of the Korean version out of four versions because it's more logical and more meaningful to me, particularly I do love seven extra special episodes hardly based on the anime. 

Well, the latest Japanese version named "Love in Tokyo" is super duper cute, too. Unlike Korean one, there are some scenes in which I'm not much fascinated =.= It's kinda hard to explain...yeah I'm bad at explaining something. But I love the whole episodes and even extra special ones of Korea :x Love Bae Seung Jo (as Naoki Ire) and Oh Hani (as Kotoko Aihara) much much more than any couple! 

Sadly, Korean version has only one season and ended up with 7 special episodes for all. Now I must wait for the Japanese version season 2 every Monday :') They are cute, too. At least, it's much better than Twain version. No offend! I love Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng in fact, but both of the two seasons "It started with a kiss" did annoy me for the way they exaggerated issues and even Yuan Xiang Qin (as Kotoko) didn't have self-esteem...Move to the drama "Love or Bread", this couple has a perfect chemistry and I do prefer them to "It started with a kiss" a 1000 times!

Okay, it's obvious that none of Kotoko versions has self-esteem since she is clinging onto Naoki all the way for years, though each of them act differently that gives me different perceptions for each version. Among them, I like Oh Hani the most and partly respect such an energetic person like her. She doesn't leave everything alone and only devotes her life to Bae Seung Jo (Naoki) all the time like other versions. She attempts to win his heart by non-stop efforts from passing the entrance university exam, encouraging him, making chocolate box for him on Valentine and getting all the way to hand in him in spite of the storm, drinking coffee for hours to wait for him until she collapses due to being stomached, etc.

Perhaps I sympathized with her since I'm partly like her in reality lolz~Obviously I'm not that pretty =))))) but my personal characteristics are the same. That's why I have a special feeling for the drama in any kind of version. Again, Korean drama, in my opinion, is still the best!

For your information: 

• Japanese versions: Itazura na Kiss (1996), Love in Tokyo (2013) and Love in Tokyo 2 (2014) is airing every Monday in viki.com 
• Twain versions: It started with a kiss and They kiss again (season2)
• Korean version: Playful kiss (16 episodes + 7 special edition)
• Anime version: Itazura na kiss (original)

One more reason for me to love the drama is him :) It connected the story between us to those who were getting through many ups and downs until the end to find out their true love, and it did come from a mischievous kiss. Sadly, it's happened to us in reality. Maybe not yet? Or "Reality is totally different from fiction."?

I have no idea! Await Xmas for the answer ;)

Nice weekend,

xoxo

PS: The pretty main actress Honoko Miki in "Love in Tokyo" has lately arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam for "International Film Festival". She was gorgeous and stunning :x If only I were there to participate in the festival and watch her new movie "Klevan, Tunnel of Love - The Place for Miracles" :(
