It started with a Kiss

It started with a Kiss is a Taiwan version of Itazura na Kiss. Itazura na Kiss is a shoujo manga(comic) by TADA Kaoru. It is a hilarious love story that spans 26 volumes.

10 years ago, it was adapted into a great Japanese drama starring KASHIWABARA Takashi and SATO Aiko.

In year 2005, 10 year later after the Japanese drama aired, a new live action version of Itazura na Kiss began airing in Taiwan. It is named "It started with a Kiss". I didnt get to watch when it aired that year as i do not have SCV at home and in fact i have no intention to buy the VCD.

Recently, my sister got the VCD from her friend so i decided to watch. It is really hilarious. It is about a guy with IQ 200 and he is good at everything, including cooking but dont know what is love and a super dumb and clumsy gal who always make mistakes, cant do anything right and always let her imgination runs wild.

The only different between the Japanese and Taiwan version is that Taiwan version have more episodes thus more supporting roles, so it is closer to the comic.

The story was a satisfying high school romance with the leads fighting their feelings and giving into them and other girls and guys vying for the affections of the main leads.

It is really a relaxing story and i enjoyed it alot and hoping to read on the comic or even watch the Japanese version of the drama. The only thing that i cant accept is that how it is possible in this world there is such a "Perfect" guy and "Super Dumb and Clumsy" gal. I think only TV serials will have such characters. LOL

The sequel, "It started with a Kiss 2" had started filming in Taiwan. It seems that it will be aired in September this year. Cant wait to see the sequel. Here is the link on the storyline of the sequel
