For years I used to wish Lin Yi Chen would get back into singing. now watching footage of her sing song from #twDrama #ISWAK for an audience that seemed to consist almost entirely of people NOT BORN when she first sung those songs has me conflicted. 😱🤣

Ep 4 of #twDrama #FabulousBoys &the FL is still praying A LOT. So am I - offering thanks for FF and praying I'll make it through. I started this ONLY to see Jiro Wang in a role that did not leave me wanting to eviscerate/exsanguinate him as his roles in #ISWAK and #TKA did. I hope it's worth it

That's why I prefer #TheyKissAgain to #ISWAK - the relationship dynamic is so different and the awesome chemistry between Ariel and Joe makes it work. I love that they've done so many different projects together in the decades since and are clearly genuinely good friends.

Oh I’m loving him in this.
Also, if you’ve never seen it, the Thai adaptation of ISWAK is my favorite of all the versions. It is so so much nicer to the FL and the ML actually seems like he likes her. #KissMe

My #twDrama bias (Ariel) Lin Yi Chen has moved WELL past her candy roles now she's a 40+ Mum of two. Her recent roles have been too dark for me, so it was real joy to find out she's re-recorded one of her songs from Dramas of 20 years ago #ISWAK #TheyKissAgain

Me watching #FirstLove : I can’t stand the FL. Maybe am too old to be watching this.
Me 3/4 of the way into the episode: I FREAKING LOVE HER! sure she’s an idiot but very much in the style of ISWAK or incurable case of love

(ISWAK talk) It's no surprise that xiang qin, despite she's just a fictional character from live drama series, shaped the person who I am today. I based my hairstyle off from her and I still wear my left hair in a mini ponytail every now and then whenever I go outside

Now that I think about it, ISWAK doesn't have a lot of fanart

For everytime someone says they hate the anime version of itazura na kiss, that I agree but also please check out the Taiwanese version. It’s so so sooo much better, main lead is better, hella handsome and hes more expressive and nicer in this version. I will always strongly recommend ISWAK

Though at the same time I still really can’t like irie in the manga? I mean I haven’t even read the full thing in detail, I mostly tried to look for scenes that were in ISWAK
I just can’t like him cuz he’s not very expressive in the manga except he’s either stoic 24/7 or gets mad most of the time

More focus on the talk about itakiss because I’m still rewatching ISWAK:
Yesterday I actually went and looked up if any of the arcs from ISWAK showed up in the original manga and turns out they did. It’s no wonder why the anime sucked, so much arcs didn’t get adapted

The more I rewatch ISWAK, I often feel like Xiang qin leans more on the Pisces side… she feels so Pisces coded to me but I honestly really don’t understand why or how she is canonically a Libra as petty as that sounds lol

Rewatching ISWAK again for the billionth time
It’s actually now quite easier to tell why zhi shu gets so easily “jealous” in season one now that I’m rewatching again… which probably explains why he’s such an asshole in some moments. But also I can tell he’s in such a strong denial for being inlove

Itazura na kiss is indeed bad but there is a better version and that being the taiwanese version, ISWAK. ISWAK remains supreme in my book

Interesting seeing the stories of how people came to support their club after my ISWAK episode with @rcfoster.bsky.social The accepted wisdom has tended to be that support is passed down the generations, but there is more to the story.

I'd pay top dollar to have ISWAK on schmaltzy dogshit coloured vinyl.
I'm hoping 'Roland' was a typo - and not the hastening of my neurological atrophy.
*Or 'Hot Chocolate'. (Vomits.)

Yes, I think both ISWAK and the sequel #TheyKissAgain are on YouTube. The 2nds are INCREDIBLY annoying and intrusive, and back then #twDrama episodes were tediously long. You have been warned. 🙂
