Playful Kiss is the Korean remake of the Taiwanese drama It Started With a Kiss (sequel They Kiss Again), which in turn, is based on the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss (イタズラなKiss) by mangaka Kaoru Tada.

The story is about a not-so-bright high school girl who falls in love with Mr Perfect, the smart, sporty, talented and super-brainy senior who rejects her overtures. However, disaster strikes and she has to move in with Mr Perfect. This is the story of how they sort out their feelings for each other and soon enough fall in love.

The male lead is played by Kim Hyun-Joong, of Boys Over Flowers fame. The female lead is not yet cast, but contenders are Park Shin-hye, Han Seung-yeon, and Sulli. Playful Kiss is directed by Hwang In-roi.

This Korean drama is still in the casting stage, so there are no episodes to show. But for sure, once there are, I’ll be putting up the links.

Playful Kiss is the Korean remake of the Taiwanese drama It Started With a Kiss (sequel They Kiss Again), which in turn, is based on the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss (イタズラなKiss) by mangaka Kaoru Tada.

The story is about a high school girl who likes a senior who is handsome, talented and aloof. She confesses to him through a love letter, but he rejects her. Fatefully, an earthquake destroys the home she shares with her father. Her father’s college friend offers them a hand, and they move in to live with him. Coincidentally, the son is the senior she is in love with. And the rest is – well, the drama.

So, the latest news is that they’ve cast the male lead in Playul Kiss, and it’s gonna be… Kim Hyun-joong! Oh, you all know him. He last played the suffering soulful Yoon Ji Hoo in the Korean megahit Boys Over Flowers. He is also the lead vocalist of popular Korean boyband SS501.

If you’ve forgotten about him, let me show you a few pictures to refresh your memory.

Yum! And here is more. No need to thank me, girls. It’s my pleasure.

Yeahhhh!

Ji-hoo was my favorite character in BOF, just because he was sooo hot in his perfect white suits and violins. Hehehe. Acting-wise, I just hope he won’t be too emo. Ahhh, but it’s a kdrama, what do you expect?!

Okay, just a few more photos.

You’re welcome, you’re welcome! Hahaha.

Kim Hyun-joong will be playing the character of Baek Seung-jo, the perfect boy who has got the smarts, the talent, the looks, everything. The female character is Moon Ha-ni, who’s clumsy and dumb, but against all odds, will fall into a romantic relationship with Baek Seung-jo. Although Moon Ha-ni has yet to be cast, it seems it will either be Park Shin-hye, Han Seung-yeon, or Sulli.

Playful Kiss will be directed by Hwang In-roi, who previously directed Goong and Return of Iljimae.
