Even though i liked the Taiwanese version more but this one definitely takes second place in all four drama version of itazura na kiss series and is much much better than its Korean version. i am just writing this review bcoz i felt that the story here is much more realistic than other series.....specially the roles of Ikezawa Kinnosuke,Mother and kotoko's friends are really portrayed really well(close to manga and anime)in this series.....specially ikezawa, the way he scolds Naoki for his aloofness or the way he brings special bento for kotoko on Christmas knowing she is betrayed by her friends is.Like in other series i don't pity him here because he truly cares about Kotoko and in a way is more responsible then Naoki. About mother she is truly devious in this series.i truly enjoyed the way she executes her schemes and supports kotoko.In the last kotoko's girlfriends,both are selfish but they do care about her and support her love for Naoki in every way possible.So i highly recommend this series,its a must watch if you really enjoyed the manga and anime.
