I thought that the Taiwanese drama It Started With A Kiss, was a really romantic, satisfying yet disappointing, 5 star rated drama. It had many obstacles that the characters needed to face in order to achieve what they wanted. It started out with a clumsy, and ditzy girl called Xiang Qin, who had a crush on a cold-hearted and mean boy called Zhi Su. Xiang Qin has an IQ of 75, which puts her in the lowest class at school: the...

Really enjoyed watching this series. Great cast. Only annoying part was how dumb Ariel's character is meant to be. Even when Joe's character proposes, Ariel's father asks him if he's sure he wants to marry her, and does he realize she is not smart.

After watching the several episodes.. i find the show a bit out of sync... by episode 9 i stopped watching and just go all the way to the last 2 episodes. downloading it now but havent watch the ending.

Am a bit dissapointed that its not really good as i expected it to be - i thought the reviews were good but after watching this drama the first 1-9 episode i give up..
