There were many overexaggerated plot details that made me laugh because of their absurdity. Like all the Itazura Na Kiss remakes, this movie was very fluffy and not to be taken very seriously. Her blind and unrequited love was annoying at all, unlike the Xiang Qin in the Taiwanese Movie remake starring Esther Wu. Jelly Lin also played a good Yuan Xiang Qin. The Zhi Shu in this movie shows just enough emotion to make his love seem real and maintains the same aloofness to keep to the original plot. However, after watching this adaptation, I can honestly say that Darren Wang played Jiang Zhi Shu the best.

Previously, my personal Zhi Shu favorite was the Taiwanese version starring Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin because it was the only version of all the ones I've seen that I saw Zhi Shu developing feelings for Xiang Qin and not just proclaiming his love unexpectedly to her at the climax. There wasn't too much aloofness like the Korean adaptation and he also wasn't too kind/amiable like the Thai version. I can honestly say no adaptation has nailed Jiang Zhi Shu's (Irie Noaki) character to the point than this one.

I literally just stalked the internet waiting for english subs for this to come out so I could watch it.

Rewatch Value 10 I've watched several adaptations of the Itazura Na Kiss franchise and like all others, had high expectations for this one.
