Playful Kiss China Version

[Fermina Enge]

Episode 6 of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition is pretty much impossible to recap. I say it with a straight face, because this was a Korean version of an I Love Lucy episode, replete with an ending that has Lucy and Desi (Ha Ni and Seung Jo) conceding that they enjoyed the mess of a day they had together.

Ha Ni is driving Seung Jo to work, and he asks whether she is intending to get into an accident on her first day of driving. She reassures her husband that she is an excellent driver, having only been docked 5 points during the exam. Was her examiner Mr. Magoo?

Seung Jo drives them to a less populated area to practice her driving, and where her victims are less likely other human beings, more cows and pigs and the like. On their drive to the countryside, Ha Ni folds down their convertible top and luxuriates in the breezey air of their impromptu day trip. She keeps feeding Seung Jo oranges, and is totally not listening to his driving tips.

Her head scarf blows away, and they stop to retrieve it. The scarf is dangling on a tree branch that is just out of their reach. Seung Jo first asks Ha Ni to bend down so that he can use her back as a step. She balks a bit, but then actually gets down on her hands and knees for Seung Jo. He has no choice but to smile fondly at her, and helps her up rather than steps on her.

Ha Ni starts driving in the country lane and is doing fine. Her husband bursts her bubble by reminding her that she is still only driving straight ahead. She gets excited and swerves around to demonstrate her control over the steering wheel, and accidentally offs some roadside fauna. Ha Ni suddenly brakes really hard, insisting she saw something up front.

Seung Jo calls out to her: hey ahjumma, can I get directions? In a fit of pique, she pretends that there is a puppy in the road, and causes Seung Jo to swerve the car into the ditch. They wait by the car waiting for a tow truck, and Ha Ni crows that the almighty genius Baek Seung Jo got his car stuck in a ditch.

Ha Ni and Seung Jo have transcended that barrier. The true-to-life beats of their relationship means that we worry how they will make a marriage work once the cameras are gone and the mundane sets in. School, work, responsibilities, duties, and obligations, can their marriage withstand all of that? The YT episodes confirm for us that they are going to be just fine.

I may be asking too much. Next week will be only one epi left. I would like to request that please do writing for BTS (I am not sure I can say recap or not). I would like to read your thoughts on BST too. I wish PK will never end, as we all are enjoying with such a cute drama.

What a delightful episode peppered with funny glitches of husband trying to teach wife how to drive! Their playful reactions toward each other really tickles. Come to think of it, they do their flirting and playing around when cruising.

This web ep is so well put together. Considering the10 minute time constraint, they did a great job. The storyline and dialogue flowed through seamlessly. Add to it JS & HN chemistry, makes ep 6 a winner. Too bad, they could have done the same quality editing with PK. Though drastically cut to 16 episodes, PK had the potential to be a better drama, regretably they ignored that opportunity.

Even without the boating, these YT episodes have been totally full of win. What we basically want is Playful Kiss the sitcom! Now that the drama is over, we can just sit back and laugh with them. Heh. Just 22 minutes of their time, once a week. Yes?

and note to our beloved kim hyun joong, a promise is a promise, im having faith in you that you will keep your word. pls remind your PD that you gave your word to us, your avid viewers and hope that he will help you to fulfill your promise.

Most people are worried about the promised steamy scenes still yet to be seen with just one teenie weenie webisode next week .Some said it was that scene when Hani fell on the hospital stairs and landed on top of SJ. Others said it may show up as BTS . Another said ,Its BOB . They made it BEHIND OUR BACK . LOL .

as always, thanks ockoala! your recaps are totally awesome! ?
this episode is just pure fun.. just looking at the screencaps make me squeal like a fangirl (was not able to finish watching the webisode last night.. my internet at home picked up the worst time to konk out on me.. :(( ) the interaction between HN and SJ is just LOVELY!

why, we even had to learn positioning for stroke (one side of the body paralyzed) and spinal cord injury (depends on the level of injury but definitely with some form of paralysis) patients. so boating in cramped spaces should never be a problem with these two. hee.

Ha, this place has been PK-Landia for awhile now. If I knew how to make pretty custom headers I would have done so already and plastered PK all over the place. Better now then never! Koalas tend to work very slowly, we like to sleep a lot.

Omo! did you get the spoiler about the boating in ep 7??
Actually, seeing the preview for ep 7 makes me kinda sure we will get some boating..
From the previous episodes the kisses were never shown in the preview at the end of the previous episodes. That's why when we see the kisses we were quite surprised and pleased because we dont know it will happen.

But this time they show the kiss in the preview for episode 7..
So I was quite positive that they will show more than just a kiss in the real episode. =D
well, I dont want to get my hopes too high though.

To think my morning jogs use to be how to solve a problem at work. Come to think of it, during my yoga class I was wishing that time would go faster because I wanted to be at home to catch webisode 5 w/subs.

talking about the hug , I was watching the anime yesterday and I noticed that OHN hugs BSJ just like the way Kotoko Hugs Naoki , even the way OHN hugged SJ in the balcony you talked about katwoman , it was just the same as in the anime but near their rooms

galz , I need help ( though dunno if I have the right to ask it here ) , I want a link where I can find the soft english subs of the webisodes starting from N 4 , where I usually seek for subs ( I mean the website from where I usually get the soft subs of Kdrama ) they stopped till episode N 3 , so if anyone can help me I will be very thankfull ?

This is a KHJ fangirl post to spazz about his awesome performance of the theme song for the Asian Games opening. Despite a language handicap among 5 singers, 4 of which are from China, Taiwan and HongKong, he held his own very well and articulated the Mandarin lyrics with ease. Good job and he has done S. Korea proud !

This drama was extremely popular when it aired during the end of 2017, surpassing 2.5 billion views with raving reviews for its fresh characters and sweetly nostalgic storyline. Leading actor and newcomer Hu Yi Tian gained immense popularity both in China and internationally for his portrayal of Jiang Chen.

I know, right? This article (and the other one recommending dramas to watch for Valentine's Day, but especially this one) brought back all the feels. I've finally reached that point where I'm able to let go and move on, but this drama is one definitely one I consider a gem of a show that will forever have a special place in my heart.

Finally, as an update on my fics, apologies. I went away for a few weeks and have been adjusting back to reality. I do have two more planned though and hope to being working on them again this coming week. Sorry for the delay!

Wishing Hu Yi Tian and Shen Yue's separate projects to be successful, and hoping when they're done, please do ALSB season 2! Like it's so enjoyable to watch them together so I'd hope they'd consider doing it.

1:45 minutes into episode 1 and i am hooked! A lot say that this version is better and i kind of agree although it's a bit early and my instinct tells me that it is but at the end of the day, any version of itazura na kiss is love!

I don't beg. Well, i do, but that's for another matter and discussion. Anyway, it was in 2016 when i begged the heavens for the first time for a sequel of a drama. I did again last night when i finished watching this series. I'm hoping. Really.

I also could have used another 2-3 episodes of their college days/adult lives as well. It would have been great to see them evolve as a couple more and more cutesy moments like when XX can't turn the pages in her book so JC does it for her. She read those pages FAST!

I loved this series because it reminded me a lot of the Reply series, esp Reply 1997 (or Answer me 1997), where the OTP also have some misunderstandings and don't see each other for many years. You also see childhood crushes evolve and grow and of course all the misunderstandings and jealousies. Also like Reply 1997, the main female lead realizes too late that she loves the male lead. And she has someone else who loves her greatly (but in the end she only has her 1 true love). Ugh if you guys loved this series and haven't watched this kdrama than you should watch this one! Makes me want to re-watch right now actually haha. Of course, HYT is h-o- double t in this one and I actually was watching the new Meteor garden and loved Shen Yue so much in it that I googled what else she was in and this one popped up. I binged ALSB while waiting for the next 7 episodes of Meteor garden haha.

I am going to get a lot of flack for this but I totally loved WBS. I don't really find him as attractive---something that is really hard to do because HYT is very good looking so everyone kind of pales in comparison anyways.. but I found that if he was a bit better looking than people would have been more torn over WBS vs. JC. I thought his love language was just different than JC. But he was very attentive to XX and it wasn't just throwing money at her or buying her things. XX LOVES to eat, so of course he bought her a lot of snacks to show her he cared. He also REALLY listened to her. She wanted snow- he made snow even though he knew he'd get reprimanded for it. She was struggling in school so he went to his teachers so she could go to him for help and tutor her even though he was also struggling and school was not his favorite thing either. She bought her those gloves--I forgot but I think she had mentioned she wanted some he didn't buy them for her randomly..but to curb the awkwardness he went out to buy gloves for everyone so she wouldn't feel awkward about receiving a gift. He tried to make her laugh everytime she was said like taking her to the pool and pushing her around in the floaties even though he knew he'd get in trouble for it if he was caught. He gave her ALL of his lunch when she said she was hungry while JC gave her one wing (which she still dug out and ate first-- ouch). He told the fireworks guy to tell her it was only 50 RMB, and he'd pay the rest secretly. One of my favorites was when they were both tired from standing when XX was thought to have bird flu so he waved the branch around so she knew he was still there. I don't think he was pushing himself on her at all, because she mainly remained oblivious to his kind gestures. He was just being a good friend emotionally and physically. Like when he was there to cover her eyes when Li Wei almost kissed JC. I'm sure he was there to comfort her and be a good friend when XX was initially getting over JC leaving her. He was patient and even when he was hugely famous he remained loyal and steadfast in his feelings for XX. In the end I hope he found his perfect counterpart like his mirror character in Reply 1997 does. He did get a big ring! Just like him and XX always joked about hha.. just said he didn't get the result he wanted. He poured his heart out twice, but I am also glad because it means he can really move on. As for the proposal from JC..if I was XX after I had received a proposal as romantic as the one BS had given me, I'd probably cry too lol. Although he did redeem himself at work, I guess. I LOLed when she ignored the ring and went to the empty papers. I guess after publishing her comic book he couldn't get her the 'biggest one' ever haha Also think his character was great because it pushed JC to be better and do better, like in the pool table scene. Every inaction from JC had a reaction from BS and it showed JC that XX was someone that other people could cherish. Luckily, XX had a one track mind and only had heart eyes for JC.. I almost wish that BS would have given her an ultimatum prior to the proposal so that she could have reflected on all the things BS did for her!!! In the end he does what his counterpart in the 1997 series does, which is sacrifices himself (with the phone call to XX while JC is confessing his true feelings) when he knows he's no match for the other.
