A love so beautiful (ALSB) is simply an uplifting show! You can't help but smile.
It's a show with lots of couple time.
ALSB is funny, super sweet, cute, and simply adorable. The genius boy is still cold but supportive in his own way. A common characteristic amongst high IQ individuals is lower empathy... but in ALSB the main male lead has family reasons for not having a higher EQ.
There are so many remakes, adaptations, and versions of the original Itazura Na Kiss-- and I thought the Thai version was the best-- until I I saw ALSB now in Feb 2018. The Thai version is sweeter than the original (2/3 Japanese, 1 Korean, and 2 Taiwanese versions) but it still pretty much follows the original storyline.

After years of being treated like dirt, Miyo has learned to keep her head down, hide her pain, and obey every order. So, it comes as no surprise that she is arranged to be married to Kudo Kiyoka, a military captain rumored to be so cruel that he has driven away every one of his potential wives so far. From a painful upbringing to a painful marriage, that's the future that awaits Miyo—or so she thinks. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is actually kind-hearted. What really awaits Miyo is a blissful, everlasting marriage full of happiness!
