I gave this drama a perfect ten in all categories because I personally feel that they deserve it. there has never been a drama, in my entire years of watching Asian Novelas, that made my whole being engaged as i watch. AS IN NEVER. Since I have both ISWAK 1 and 2 in my tablet, watching these again and again has now become a daily routine of mine. I read all the positive comments/reviews regarding Joe Cheng and how he played his character Zhi-shu well and i must say that i'm truly grateful that i'm not alone on my assessment about him. he, amazingly, brought NAOKI to life especially with his perfect timing expressions. Who would have thought that a super-introvert and brutally frank person can be sexy and engaging at the same time?!! makes me want to look for a real life Zhishu! Story: I super duper love the plot! in this season you will see how the MAIN characters mature. I have to give the credit also to the creators of ISWAK. I think the people behind this drama had really put efforts in conceptualizing the story. I've read bits and pieces of the manga and i must say that their creativeness has made ISWAK very successful and acceptable to viewers. Acting/Cast: My first impression of Zhishu/Joe Cheng on the very first episode, i was like "Why him?", "Why this actor?" but as the episodes progressed, I become little by little entralled by him and then in THEY KISS AGAIN, i have to shamelessly admit that he made me fall truly, madly, deeply in love with him!! His amazing poetrayal of NAOKI was his additional attraction. Xiang Qin's character was also done outstandingly by Ariel Lin. I love her innocent and naive ways! Although at times i find her ways so childish and irritating, all in all, i really adore her. I could not think of anyone who can be as compatible with Zhishu as her. (I'm borrowing one of the lines from TKA). :-) Mrs Jiang: I love her so much! Her love for Xiang Qin even though she's not her real daughter is really for me very touching. Cindy SHaw has done a great job in acting out ZS's mother. The rest of the cast's acting was also good. Music: Well let me tell you this, i have all the songs in my cellphone and i listen to them before going to sleep EVERY NIGHT! Rewatch Value: Can't count how many times i've watched this already and until this time I'm still watching it! Some says 50-episodes are kinda long and boring but i say it's not enough! i want more more more! Overall: Can i give a rating above 10? if so, i will definitely give this a 200 which is equivalent to Zhishu's IQ!!! I highly recommend ISWAK and TKA!
