My favorite drama!
I love this drama, and yes, I am giving it 10/10 all across the board. I have seen every adaptation of this series, the anime, manga, taiwanese, korean and Japanese versions. I will continue to love it, and have seen it over 50 times. The story follows the manga pretty closely, the music is wonderful and catchy, and the actors are wonderful and have great chemistry.The Taiwanese and Japanese versions are 100x better then the Korean version, I would suggest skipping it as it doesn't cover even half of the story.
Definitely one of the best series I've ever seen, and I'm a huge romcom fan!

A bit hard to follow
I would give this series a better rating if it weren't so hard to follow. A lot of 30 second scenes and time skips that are super hard to follow. It got super confusing at times because you'd be in a flash back and then suddenly current time, a 30 second scene, then another time skip.The story was very cute, but a very stereotypical plot. I did like however that the main lead was not an asshole, that troupe is very overdone, he was just a normal guy. It was a bit refreshing.
Overall, it's a cute series, but definitely not something I would watch over and over.

Only part of the series is covered
This doesn't cover nearly half of the series, in fact, it's very little of it. The Taiwanese and Japanese versions cover the entire story, and unless I'm missing something and they came out with more episodes, this was very short, and didn't wrap up the way it needed to. I've seen every adaptation of this series (Itazura Na Kiss/ISWAK/TKA, And this version), and this one is by far the worst.I would highly suggest the Taiwanese Version (It Started With a Kiss and They Kiss Again) if you want the full story, or Itazura Na Kiss, which is the Japanese version, and also covers the entire story.

Talk about a Slow! Burn!
This entire series is a typical cliche, and not in the good ways. You start the series with Qingqing, who runs away from home to go to a college to find out the past about her parents. Alright, nice. But then you just get the slowest burn of a series I have ever experienced.Literally you can watch the first 5 episodes, and then the last 10, and it won't miss much. Typical girl pretends she's ugly when she's not, gets bullied by the popular girls for liking the popular guy, and rejects the hotter, much nicer guy.
Then there's the suicide attempts by the main female antagonist. It was a "If I can't have him, I'm killing myself" moment, which is sloppy writing. Then she tries it again.
I was hoping for a super cute, college romcom, and instead I got the slowest moving drama that I've ever watched. The only thing I did like was the music.
I wouldn't watch it again to be honest, which says a lot, because I like most of the dramas I've watched.
