![]() ![]() Though I have to correct some things I wrote before. After watching it again, I feel split between my first feelings, for some stronger than ever, and the joy of discovering things I had missed or misunderstood the first time (subtitles didn’t work and my Japanese isn’t that perfect). ![]() *43 minutes of re-watching, please wait…* On the other hand, I HAVE to put a stress on the opening, because I just found it really cute, colorful, and loved the music. Seriously, some moments and some dialogue need their silence. I had the feeling it was always trying to catch the attention. Though I didn’t appreciate the fact that there was music during all the episode, to my mind, the ost is here to improve the story, to accompany it and make it more alive. The music is neither wonderful nor awful, I would say it was average. Sure Naoki Irie has to be Naoki Irie, but I was expecting at least a smile from time to time (Finally I’m just like Kotoko, I want him to love her so hard I can’t stand such a distant behavior, hihi). I haven’t been able to see the love in his eyes for like ¾ of the episode. As for Naoki, I was a little disappointed as Yuki Furukawa acted the same way he did before Naoki and Kotoko’s wedding. Miki is still a perfect Kotoko, cute, sweet, and… so in love! I discovered her in the first season, and couldn’t imagine a better actress to play this role. (A detail that always annoys me in dramas… No one in the world kisses like that, please stahp…)īonus: As spoilers are forbidden, I won’t say too much, but I just LOVED the cross over, it made me laugh out loud, for real! (+1 for the music and the japanese by the way ~ !). I know the manga was like this too, but I found the liberties taken by TKA interesting, I wish love in Okinawa had taken some too! I really found this special was too short, and most of all too HURRIED! I know announcing days is part of the “joke” with Mari-chan, but when the week ends up only being a list of days and short episodes, I only can be disappointed. Until now, only the Taiwanese version has dealt with the honey moon (as I don’t recognize the Korean 7 minutes episode as a real adaptation), and as I thought the honey moon story was deserving a long episode (just like in TKA), I was really happy to see on the details the episode would last 3 hours… and here comes the trouble. Still I want to comment some aspects of the special episode, and one in particular. I won’t talk about the initial story here as I find it almost perfect. Though, I wouldn’t say my thirst was completely quenched. This review may contain spoilers After having seen all the versions of Itazura na kiss existing (including the 1996 Japanese version), and particularly loved the “Love in Tokyo” version, saying I was waiting for this special would be an understatement. ![]()
