Itazura na Kiss ~ Love in TOKYO

イタズラなKiss ~ Love in TOKYO


It's Wednesday and we are halfway to the weekend! Hang in there, yea? Anyway, I am back here to update you guys of another drama which I found really nice. It's the Japanese reboot of the notable "イタズラなKiss", this time round, the show is much lovable? I have watched the Taiwanese adaption, "惡作劇之吻" too but I found this one much better?

イタズラなKiss ~ Love in TOKYO 's Opening Theme Song

I have been posting one or two videos on the show on my facebook, I hope you guys have watched them. Currently, I have finished watching the season 1 of the show. I definitely recommend this reboot version one as the show took many nice setting of Tokyo. From the newest attraction Tokyo Skytree to its older brother, the Tokyo Tower. Also, the casts were great too. Believe it or not, the young-looking main cast Furukawa Yuki (古川雄輝) is already in his 27s! He played Irie Naoki in the show and his acting was good, I must say! Hahas.

The female lead (Aihara Kotoko) is played by Miki Honoka (未来穂香). She is a young actress and her performance in the show was good too. She is only in her 17s. Despite the 10-year gap between the 2 leads, they matched up one another real well. Other than the 2 main casts who hold up the show, there are also many nice supporting cast whom play vital roles in the show too. If you have watched the other adaption, you guys should know, yea?

Other support casts include Yamada Yuki (山田裕貴) who played the role of Ikezawa Kinnosuke, Tanaka Yoji (田中要次) who played the role of Kotoko's dad (Aihara Shigeki), Nishimura Tomomi (西村知美) who played the role of Naoki's mum (Irie Noriko), Imoaraizaka Kakaricho who played the role of Naoki's dad and Aihara's best friend (Irie Shigeo). There are also many other casts who I can't name them all here.

Screen grabs from the show

Following the manga and anime, this show is set for season 2 which we would probably see similar scenes from the Taiwanese adaption, "惡作劇2吻". The Japanese media is working hard to adapt more mangas into live-action shows and I hope this will continue on! As not many people read mangas these days, doing a show on the manga will make the viewers wanted to read the mangas itself too. Agree?

Nevertheless, I have come to the end of this short post. I shall be back again for more updates in the days to come, do drop by soon! Ciaos.
