it started with a kiss
taiwan ver. VS japan ver.
1. Cast
i find taiwan ver. the names super weird when i started to watch it =p 1st thing on my mind was how come male lead de surname short of 1 word =D cuz japan version de should be ru4 jiang1 zhi2 shu4 (Irie Naoki). and i can't even recall the name of the female lead.. cuz i always remember her as kotoko. Aihara Kotoko (xiang1 yuan2 qing2 zi3).
look at the pics. haiz.. i really old liao. imagine i watched the jap version when i was still studyng in sec sch. lower sec some more. tat time shld be 13 14 years old ba. i'm turning 20 this year and now i'm watching the taiwan version.

*male lead*
i really prefer taiwan ver. de naoki cuz he has a better character. frankly speaking i dun like jap ver. de naoki =X

*female lead*
cute VS hyper active. taiwan de really looks like a primary sch kid to me.. but she is more normal compared to jap ver.

*naoki's admirer*
i'm not too sure whether this taiwan ver. de count or not. cuz in jap only 1 appeared. but i taiwan ver. there is 2..

*kotoko's admirer*
jap ver. de looks super kowaii~ he became very serious when dealing with naoki.. like ah beng VS genius -.- taiwan ver. de is more to kawaii. at least he is not an ah beng.

*naoki's brother*
younger ver of naoki. jap de really v irritating but he acts better den tw ver.
2. Storyline
jap ver: kotoko bangs onto naoki with a kiss at the very 1st scene.
tw ver: WHERE IS THE SCENE?! wasn't the title It Started With A Kiss?

jap ver: naoki is very irritating. act cool robot.
tw ver: irritating but playful =p more like a human.
