Playful Kiss, disappointment

Playful Kiss remains somewhat mixed for me. Indeed, this drama revolves around two main characters, namely Sung Jo and Ha Ni. Unfortunately, both characters were a disappointment in my opinion. On one hand, there's Sung Jo, the handsome and intelligent one, but also cold and arrogant. On the other hand, there's Ha Ni, the girl who tries to win Sung Jo's heart but comes off as clumsy and overly clingy. It frustrates me how they continually act stubbornly and fail to grow throughout the episodes.

Overall, I just didn't enjoy the story and their personalities, despite the strong performances by the actors Kim Hyun Joon and Jung So Min, although occasionally they seemed a bit exaggerated. Despite being new to Korean dramas, besides the two actors mentioned above, I did notice some talented actors and actresses like Lee Tae Sung, whose funny scenes stood out, Lee Si Young, and Abigail Alderete. The OST appropriately matches the romantic ambiance of the drama.
