Itazura na Kiss - Love in Tokyo (2013)

[Spanish]

Muy buen dorama, la verdad es que yo no leí el manga de Itazura na Kiss, pero vi el anime y debo decir que es uno de mis favoritos. Este dorama está muy apegado a la historia expuesta en el anime (aunque cambian algunas partes [supongo que es para darle énfasis a otras cosas]), y en verdad me encantó.
La actuación de Yuki (Irie Naoki) la encontré muy buena, aunque la de Miku (Aihara Kotoko) la encontré, a veces, un poco "sobre-actuada".
En cuanto a la música, usaron muy bellas melodías en los momentos precisos y en momentos "humorísticos", otras que resaltaban la escena, pero aun así, creo que fue un poco pobre en tema de cantidad.

Si lo miramos como dorama independiente, creo que es excelente. Muy buen dorama y muy recomendable para los que les gustan las historias de romances como a mi.

There's something about japanese dramas that korean ones can't seem to have... sweetness. Watching Itazura na Kiss was a really sweet experience. No melodrama, no tears just for the sake of crying... Now it's not a masterpiece either, but INK Love in Tokyo has a good plot, lovable characters and an overall aura of lightness and it was exactly what I expected from it.

I'm a huge fan of the anime version and I have seen both taiwanese and korean drama versions and I gotta say INK Love in Tokyo beats them both. The taiwanese one was way too long and therefore was boring at times and the korean one... well, not so good actors and even though I love the story, I couldn't help but being hella bored while watching Playful Kiss.

INK Love in Tokyo managed to still be interesting to me even though I knew the plot (and its twists) by heart. Now yes, the over the top acting (especially the main actress) was kinda off-putting at first but once I got past it, I really got fond of the characters and the main couple. I loved their chemistry, even if (no) thanks to the author, Irie Naoki's character is difficult to understand (to the point you just want to shake the hell outta him) and Aihara Kotoko's one is way too dumb to not be frustrated with her at some point. Still, loved them both together and individually.

The drama has its fun moments, not to the point where I'd like, laugh out loud or anything but enough to make me smile and feel good when watching them. And again, that was exactly what I expected from it. No more, no less.

I'm really glad it got a second season even if I already know how it's going to end but the drama's amazing characters and its sweet aura will definitely manage to keep me interested throughout its second run.
