For all of you Kim Hyun Joong fans (drool) out there this might just be the drama for you!
this is a drama about a budding high school romance that grows from rivalry to full blown true love!

Now of course there are lots of humorous and awkward teenage bits to this show, the best parts to me where the parts where you glimpse into Kim Hyun Joong's character (Baek Seung-jo) and past his cold exterior as he contemplates who HE wants to be and what he wishes to do with his life as he is being courted by his fun loving, average, and awkward love interest Oh Ha-ni. Though they are complete opposites they go compliment each other rather nicely and she warms his heart full of angst.
(AWWW)
Of course there are love triangles, family issues and struggles the two face as they go through their high school years and advance into college, which makes this show all the more exciting!
(Also this is the only drama I've seen so far where the mother in law character is on the female love interest's side, which made me SO SO SO SO SOOOO HAPPY! Especially when it caused trouble for her serious and stoic son heehee)
Now if you are in it for the kiss scenes, this drama isn't exactly the best. It had a few forced, open eyed smoochies, (You all know the ones I speak of!) and only one good kiss =(
BUT this IS meant to be geared more towards a younger audience I believe it will appeal to those awkward first kiss memories that I know we all have and remember well haha
Unfortunately there were some aspects of the show that I had issues with...the main thing that bothered me was how Oh Ha-ni's overly devoted love is used to cover up some of the mistreatment she gets from her one and only. As Seung-jo's character is still developing he comes off occasionally as a cold and self absorbed bully and the two are in an on-again-off-again situation, which in my opinion could have been resolved a whole lot better with a little understanding on either character's part, and left me more angry than love struck at times as these moments would drag on for episodes at a time! I found myself being torn apart from hope to heart break with tender hearted Oh Ha-ni as she struggled to be good enough to win her love; But in a way this made the good parts all that more wonderful to watch.
Now the finale had a few eyebrow raising events, but it tied everything together nicely enough in the end, though it was a little patchy I approved of the way things turned out!
Though not perfect, this drama was enchanting, silly, heartbreaking, and enjoyable. It will definitely make you feel Bipolar with all it's ups and downs, fun characters and it will have you up in your seat yelling "FIGHTING!" at your screen =D
NOW FOR THE RATING! DRUMROLL PLEASE!
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb TSH!
On the Aish-Drama's Scale of Dramatasic shows, Playful kiss wins a.......
5.5 on a scale of 1-10
SO if you are looking for a high school Drama with childish charm and humor on top of swing set emotions and high stakes, then this is your drama...DEFINITELY!
