Taiwan Blogger's View on Playful Kiss

Saw this post on lovekimhyunjoong.com. According to happiebb, this blog is a lot like dramabeans only it is a Taiwanese, of course. She blogs about any drama and is her opinions are quite well respected. This time though, it is quite refreshing to know that she likes PK and even Leader's acting. I am reposting this in behalf of lovekimhyunjoong.com


And oh by way, if you decide on reposting this, make sure you never forget to add the link of her blog as requested by her, of course..

Kate手扎第602篇◎韓劇◎惡作劇之吻﹝1-2﹞
這是我最欣賞的一版惡作劇之吻


By Kate(From Taiwan) on Sep 07 , 2010


對於「惡作劇之吻」收視率創新低,我並不感到意外,「麵包」已經大賣那麼久,「九尾狐」也是走同類型的校園愛情喜劇,而「九尾狐」已經有固定觀眾群,「惡作劇之吻」這個時候上檔,不啻是以卵擊石。

雖然「惡作劇之吻」只有3.5的收視率,但我想要說的是,其實「惡作劇之吻」還滿好看的說。這是一部第一集必須要跟第二集連著看的韓劇,不是第一集難看,而是第二集更為精采。

第一集一開始的前五分鐘,拍得相當夢幻與精緻,這完全符合黃仁雷(該劇導演)一貫華麗的手法,就視覺感受來說,是相當稱職的偶像劇。

再回來看金賢重與鄭素敏的表現,坦白說,金賢重的表現,比我預期值裡還好上許多,他演出的白勝祖有一種很獨特的完全無視旁人的漠然,與日版的內外皆冷,或台版的外冷內熱,又有著相當的差異處,更有趣的地方在,我並不認為金賢重的演出輸了哪一版。

bb's trans-in-brief for above

Let's come back and look at Kim Hyun Joong's and Jung So Min's performance. To be honest, Kim Hyun Joong's performance is better than what I'd expected. The Baek Seung Jo that he's portrayed has a very unique nonchalance of being totally oblivious and not caring for others. Compared to the Japanese version of being cold both inside and outside, or the Taiwanese version of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside, there's marked difference in his portrayal. And more interestingly, I don't think Kim Hyun Joong's version loses out to any of the versions.


至於鄭素敏,這小妹妹天生會演戲,也有觀眾緣,當我看到第一集,她看到那匹白馬面露俏皮微笑的表情,我內心不禁酸起好醜的旁白,但卻只是想對著鄭素敏大笑,會覺得當下的她很醜,但卻不會討厭她,就是那種想大笑的心情。換個角度想,日後這是不是白勝祖看到吳哈妮的特殊心情呢?

韓劇的第一集少緊湊與流暢的,這是我一直很好奇的地方,韓劇的第一集是有那麼難拍嗎?近年來,只看韓劇第一集就讓我決定on 檔追的只有兩部:「奉達熙」跟「檢察官公主」,其他的,我不是中途跳車,就是很勉強的不小心看完,「惡作劇之吻」的第一集就是那種很典型的韓劇而已。

憑良心講,比起「九尾狐」,我更喜歡「惡作劇之吻」,因為「惡作劇之吻」我很難看到男配角那邊去,一部戲我只要看到男配角那邊去,不是很難看完,就是會邊看邊碎碎唸而已。

「惡作劇之吻」的第二集馬上進入重點,我真的不會覺得太快,因為至少我感到合理。從金賢重用手遮住鄭素敏的雙眸開始,他就走出屬於自己風格的入江直樹,對於吳哈妮來說,他可以主動保護姿態(這是人之常情),也可以不顧情面的推開吳哈妮(這是他的本性),這個中規矩完全是白勝祖說了算而已,在我自己的認知,這也是入江直樹的一種風格,我行我素我說了算。

The second episode of Playful Kiss went straight into the main plot, but I really don't think that's too fast. At least (the development of the storyline) made me think that it's reasonable, logical. From the moment Kim Hyun Joong used his hands to cover Jung So Min's eyes, he has already created and established his own style of the Naoki character. As for Oh Hani, he can choose to protect her (which is something most people would do), or he can also push her away without any regard for her feelings (that would be his personality and in-character). All these 'rules' of behaviour is purely within Baek Seung Jo's control and he decides. As far as I'm concerned, this too can be Naoki's style - he decides.


而,後來吳哈妮對白勝祖反將一軍,指出SJ的所有成員名字,她臉上的得意之情對照白勝祖的無言以對,這一組的「惡作劇之吻」反成日、台、韓三組裡,我最尬意的一組情侶。

韓國女演員裡,我喜歡的有四位,高小英、鄭惠英、張真英與李娜英,這就是為什麼這次我會看「惡作劇之吻」的原因,因為鄭惠英,她的演技真的很好,而且是會帶旁邊演員的那種女星。

金賢重這次的演技真的不錯,鄭素敏的表現俏皮而不做作,戲是看自己高興,我一向如此。

This time around, Kim Hyun Joong's acting is really not bad; Jung So Min is cute and mischievous, but not overacting. Watching dramas and how you take to it is really up to you; if you're happy, watch. I've always been so.

  1. hi kath read this last nite at that great great leader forum and it really lifted me up.its really really hard to be positive and not be affected with all of these because we love leader so much right so there's no need to apologize, me too i'm having a hard time coping,thinking how much he's affected by all these 'coz he's pratically on the news portal everyday telling people how bad the situation he's in and so on so forth but as one of your readers pointed out we have got to stop feeling like this and be more positive and just truly enjoy leader's drama, gonna try high and mighty to do it and disregard the negativity of it all and just savor every bit of him in this drama.in a way IT did fulfilled one of his aspirations and that is for people to see that he indeed made improvements on his acting which many agreed on (fans or non-fans) and for that I AM truly truly happy.loooooooove him to bits.
    Take care now and ENJOY Baek Song Jo together MK Fighting!!!

  2. Lisa,

    Thank you for that lengthy comment...

    I can not reiterate how much positive I try to be. I am really trying hard. Really...But my mind works you know. I feel worried everytime I think of the future. So, well, my bad.

    I am deeply sorry for letting you in to my thoughts everytime I felt bad because I felt that this blog became a negative blog because of that. So, I wont anymore. I am actually thinking real hard if I should stop.

    I guess the drama is super great that is why I am thinking why the ratings are like that. But, nothing will happen if I continue whining..Right?

    Let's just enjoy the drama! It may not be doing great in Korea, but I know it will be a hit once foreign countries start airing it, so be strong!

    By the way, I soo loved Episode 3!To bits!!WAHHHH

  3. What I know is I am enjoying this drama ,his ost song ,and his acting .I don't look at the rating low or high .I am thankful there is MK /PK where is he is putting his best efforts .

    What I don't understand are those negative comments and why they choose to hurl it at Hyun Joong .Compared to other idols he is always surrounded by intrigues and controversy . I'm glad he realizes that is part of his profession and uses that to challenge himself. I wish him all the best . With his hard work ,talent and good heart he will reach all his goals .

  4. Anonymous,

    I dont want to look at it anymore. I am happy about the drama. So happy that I even cried on Episode 3 because I am so proud of him...

    Now that you say it, I thought so too...Maybe because these netizens know that because Leader is soo popular, whatever they say would attract attention that is why...Hope Bae Yoon Joong gives encouragement to him and tutors him about the dirty game some people play and not get affected by it but work harder!

    More than any Korean actor right now, I think he is the most hardworking and he will be at his peak for sure. He is still young but look how popular he is right now. No ratings can ever stop people from loving him..This is just the start...
