It Started With a Kiss (恶作剧之吻)

It Started With a Kiss
恶作剧之吻 (E Zuo Ju Zhi Wen)


The main character of the story, Xiang Qin (Ariel Lin) is a clumsy and naive high school teenager who is in love with the genius of an IQ of 200 in Taiwan, who also happens to be in Class A of her high school. Sadly, Xiang Qin is very stupid and is in the lowest class in her school, so when she gives Jiang Zhi Shu (Joe Cheng) a letter proclaiming her love, she is ignored and even made fun of by her school mates. An earthquake in Taiwan causes Xiang Qin's newly built house (by her father) to collapse and the two have nowhere else to go. When their sad story appears on the news, Xiang Qin's father's childhood friend lends a hand and offers his house. They accept, but Xiang Qin finds out after she proudly proclaims at school that she will never accept Zhi Shu's help, that her father's friend is actually Zhi Shu's father!

As the two live together under the same roof, Zhi Shu sees Xiang Qin's constant determination of proving her worth to him, eventually softening him up. Her constant honesty and good will, despite showing many times how stupid and without thought she acts, is something he learns to treasure later on. Zhi Shu refuses to admit to his feelings until the better end of the show though people around them have constanly noticed his affections for Xiang Qin (of which she is entirely ignorant). Ah Jin (Jiro Wang), who is also deeply in love with Xiang Qin, refuses to give up and constantly seeks out her feelings, which she does not reciprocate. Zhi Shu of course is the eye of interest of many women on campus and off campus, despite his cool personality, which he only drops when he is around Xiang Qin, which many people consider to be his true self.

Throughout the episodes, many different situations test the affections that each of them have for each other, making it a very amusing drama to watch. One of my favorite dramas of all time, It Started With A Kiss is a drama that I recommend whole-heartedly, because I believe it brings out the best in people, and sometimes even the sides which we may sometimes refuse to see.

Episodes: 30
