Just as I don't understand why HEART STRINGS did not get higher reviews and higher ratings in Korea when it did so well internationally, I don't understand why so many people like this drama PLAYFUL KISS. It's got to be the worst drama ever. I really tried to get into it and like it, but it just did not have any redeemng qualities. Not even to watch Kim Hyun Joong, whom I adored in BOY'S OVER FLOWERS. He was sooo swoon worthy there, cutting the food for the girl!!! I mean who does that??? However, in this drama, he was just a total jerk from the get go. I tried to make it through High School and hope that every one matures in college and something sparks between the main couple, but it just dragged on with the male lead being a total ass and the female lead just being a rug with no backbone and no self-esteem. I just hope young girls don't follow her example. Wasted my time, so much better dramas to watch.
