Playful Kiss: Origins and Popularity

Playful Kiss is a drama I originally watched in 2012 when I first discovered it on Netflix. At the time, I didn’t care for it nor understood the story. It wasn’t until I watched its Japanese counterpart, Mischievous Kiss, and the Taiwanese, It Started with a Kiss, did I start to understand the story.




This story was the first time I realized that Asian countries, like American (North and South), share stories among each other. And it started with a manga. Itazura Na Kiss is a Japanese Shojo manga series written and illustrated by Kaoru Tada in 1990.
