Playful Kiss

The last dorama I have seen is Playful Kiss. It is also, like Boys Before Flowers, a drama based on the manga of the author Kaoru Tada Itazura na Kiss (イ タズラな), but it isn't already finished due to the sudden death of Kaoru, when she was moving to another house with her husband and her son. But the manga is still being published with the permission of her husband. This manga has also a anime version.

Cast. 

Oh Ha Ni:  She is a silly girl, so clumsy and she is always messing up everything and making mistakes. She is no intelligent, but he puts her effort in all she does until she gets what she wants. She can be very persistent.

She cares a lot for her father and everyone who surrounds her. She gives her all on making the boy she likes to look at her, although it is sometimes uselessly. She always have the support of her friends and her "mother". She is ready to help in everything. She is really a very good girl.

Baek Seung Jo: He is a smart boy, tall and handsome. Son of a wealthy family who has never lacked anything. He can solve easily any conflict.

He a proud person, sometimes too proud and ironic.

He seems to be quiet and calm due to his lack of motivation for anything. He has no dreams to fulfill since is easy for him to achieve anything.

But he is a very good person, who cares about his family and when the girl he loves (without knowing his own feelings) is with another boy, he gets jealous.

Bong Joon Gu: He is a clumsy person, not very intelligent but he has a big determination and tenacity that he puts in the objective that is marked. He is very honest. He is not afraid of confessing his feelings, since he is very proud of them. He is impulsive, passionate, unreflective and spontaneous. He acts consistently and according to his thoughts at all times. He is therefore likely to mess up and make mistakes.

Yoon  Hae Ra: She is a really beautiful and intelligent gitl and all the boys are after her. She always gets what she wants. Although she seems to be the typical egocentric and conceited girl, she is a good person that hides her feelings fot not to get hurt. She is the rival of the protagonist in this dorama, the person who also likes Seung Jo and do everything she can to get him although she knows that he loves the other girl. She has hope until the end.

I really like this dorama, but it frustrated me a little because the boy was always therating the girl bad and being rude to her, when he obviously was deeply in love with her. It's so romantic and I cried a little bit, but I also laughed so much.

Other doramas I would like to see are:

You're beautiful
