ahh, i think episode 7 is a big turning point. ZS was way nice in here and showed more like emotion. i loooooooove ariel and her acting but i'm begining to get a little peeved at her character for being so so so so dumb! when i watched i just kept thinking "how can you like a guy like that? he treats you like dirt!" i know...it's just part of the storyline though so imma be patient and support XQ all the way!
i really don't get why people keep comparing this series to devil beside you and green forest, my home. i've seen all of those and there's nothing to compare. all the storylines are different as well as the acting. (AHEM* we all know ariel makes ISWAK one of the better acted dramas - all you ariel fans *AHEM) okay, i've had enough of me.
LOL i agree!! Ariel's acting ROCKS! Although I must admit Joe's acting is getting better and better too! Especially in episode 7..he really started to shine...
i loved that scene where everyone was laughing their heads off...a lot of the jokes were play on words so if you're listenign it can be confusing unless you listen to it again and again..and you need to understand the language pretty well

I'm just curious. Can someone translate that text on his shirt. TQ

oh. it basically means "the button with the great responsibility"
the responsibility refers to the fact that it must be given to XQ because of the rumour that if the guy gives the second button of his high school uniform to the girl he likes, they will end up together happily...
I just finished watching episode 7... and looking at the preview of episode 8 where ZS stopped the match because of XQ's swollen feet, could the following episode be the one where he was wearing this white dress??? (i saw the picture in the official website.. and sorta made a link) Any Speculations?

Me too. I really love the Jap version since the main guy is SO cuteeeeeee. Just wonder if Joe will do a good job there (not interesed in him though

)

i never have guess that there will be a chinese version of itazuna na kiss. watch some of the episode (in speeding bullet), and oh boy, i'm disappointed

, it's not as good as the jap version with Sato Aiko and Kashiwabara Takashi. takashi is sooooo cute and arrogant. i dont feel that with joe..or whatever is his name. yeah, and he looks too old compared to the manga version

. i like the taiwanese version of meteor garden or marmalade boy though.

i prefer the perfomance of joe more than the character in the manga! Naoki (ZS) is more rude and always bullying her! makes him very nasty!!!!
and Joe has a sexy face when he is smiling.
i have finish watching episode 5, ohhhhhh i think Zs is really in love with XQ! when she tell him that she's going to forget everything about him... and he kisses her...well he doesn't want that she forgets him.. so THAT WHAT THEY CALL LOVE!!!
Little by little i''m understanding this pretty storyline:) (i'm very grateful to the fansubbers and the timer, is really hard do such work, i can only say: THANK YOU!!)

I just watched the first 4 eps and find its so lovely, can't stop watching

.... I prefer this serie than Devil beside you, even though Devil gave me a good time watching but I just don't like the plots and how they end the serie. I love Ariel after seeing her in Love Contract. She's so cute and act well. But in this serie, I have to agree that XQ sometimes.. so dumb that annoy me a little bit, but the character's still cute because of her kindness and pure. Too bad that I have to wait for the sub to watch ep 6 & 7.

There's a part in ep. 5 where ZS'm mom was taking pictures of the whole group and ZS was leaning in real close to XQ and he said, "I was across the street and I could hear you yelled Welcome. You sounded awfully energetic. Come. Yell it again." What is ZS referring to? Could anyone enlighten me on this, please? To my recollection, XQ never yelled that and why does she look disturbed after he said that to her?

I'm confused....

She yelled "WELCOME, have noodles" Something like that. She was welcoming the customers to the restaurant.
She was surprised bec. he knew abt her secret- that is working hard just to buy his present

With my limited madatin, I finished watching up to episode 7 because this series is tooo good; can't wait for the subs. When Ariel was telling Joe that she's moving out and with his "bye"...it's so sad!! I hate Joe making Ariel cry like that. If he does like Ariel, how can he make his love one cry and be upset like that?
I really like Joe's mom, young and understanding. I wish I can have a mother-in-law like that in the future. BTW, in real life who plays Joe's mom? Isn't she that bully in Mars? That girl that always disabled Bis S's hands with a rock? And she also played a role in Meteor Garden II. She played as Big S's guy buddy' gf. Anyone notice this?

I know who you are talking about. I don't think that the mother was in Meteor Garden II though... I think it's an other actress. They do look alike though... I thought it was the from MG too at first, but the mother is too old.

i think he's acting mean to her because he wants to deny that he is developing feelings for her. if you put yourself in his shoes... an intellectual person with an IQ of 200 plus a very calm life with sophisticated friends.... how can someone like him like someone like Ariel!!?? A girl who is always messing up everything and lacks confident in EVERYTHING AND is in F Class. its kinda embarrassing to be with someone like that. soo.... the meaner he is to her, the more he likes her! obviously down the road (hopefully not that much longer) he will put all that stuff aside and let his feeling free and they live happily ever after! well, thats what we all hope for!

hmm that will happen in the last ep i guess. haiz he is just so stubborn. does anybody know when the show is ending? as in which volume:)
guys (esp. ZS) have weird ways of expressing their feelings. i think i prefer ZS to naoki as naoki is too mean to kotoko. if joe acted like naoki, i will personally fly to taiwan to bash him up!
i hate the one week per ePi thinG......

Nope. Da S's bully in Mars is Megan Lai Ya Yan...賴雅妍. The person who plays Joe's mom is a pretty well-known singer in the 90's. Her name is Cyndi Chaw...趙詠華. If you can read Chinese, here's a brief personal file on her:

xsnowangelx - the medicine (or at least I think it's medicine) part is at the begining of ep. 6. It was the morning after XQ got drunk. They were having breakfast and ZS came down coughing and XQ gave him the medicine. This is before she followed him to the school and fainted. XQ is just too cute! You can just see Joe trying hard not to laugh (and he did a little) when she stuck her fingers down his throat.
When XQ fainted, it annoyed me that ZS didn't come running to her side fast enough...he was just kind of lingering behind the crowd.

Littleb, I think ZS 's character is the cool- guy-type who tends to suppress his feeling a lot. He's a person who would not run to XQ immediately to show his concern. However, if U noticed, his anger towards Jason is reflected on his face clearly. 2 more days to go.

hhhhh - do you mean when he's playing tennis against Jason in the preview for ep. 8? I can't wait to see that scene! It'll be the first time he shows jelousy towards XQ. I know that ZS is the cool/cold type, but still...XQ could have been dying for all he knew. Shouldn't that be more important than him trying to still act cool? Who knows, maybe he's just too use to showing no emotions. 2 more days!!! I'm too obsess with this series...:ph34r:

and that b*t*h is so goddamn disgusting. so what if she is pretty. i sort of scanned through the show after that. i can't stand the humilation (i sort of felt it for XQ) at the tennis club. oh man she is just 5 cm shorter. and the look on ZS's face. i am going to kill him >.< ARGH

I agree with all of you : XQ is often humiliated in this drama. The character is totally different from "Love Contract" where she is proud and boyish. If i were her, i can't stand what ZS has said to her : he doesn't show any feeling when she came to say goodbye before movieng out (ep 06). I think that their relationship doen't change much. He is still cold towards her and she makes all she can to be near him without receiveing anything. Doesn't she have pride ?

Actually if u look closer, when XQ got hit, he did turn his face to look at her and though he didn't rush up to her, his expression changed and looked daggers into the senior... also notice his hand gripping the tennis racket more tightly seemed aggitated.... in the next episode his going to take his revenge right? by hitting the ball at the senior....

Itsura na kiss is an old dorama, but you may go to this site, www.jdorama.com and request for anyone to sell it to you, if there's any. Just post your request to the sale and trade section.
now, i dont know your exact location, but some seller could ship VCD globewide. it's a matter of trust.
Joe's character really imitates the manga. aloof and cool, too cool sometimes. So guys, expect less romance since he's the exact opposite of any romanticism's idea outhere. If they keep following the dorama closely, there wont be any major spark untill the last episode, furthermore, any confession of love. i actually feel sorry for the girl
