Opposites Attract

Opposites really do attract...It Started With A Kiss conveyed that phrase. I once saw one episode of this drama when it was aired in the Philippines and it didn't caught my attention. I was like..."What the...???" Is she really that dumb? Does a person like her really exist? I was really annoyed with Ariel Lin's character here...even her clothes in this drama. And for Joe Cheng's character for having an IQ of 200. Whoa?! He must be in Guiness...hahaha! :D

So, in short I didn't watch it. Not after I've seen the sequel...They Kiss Again. Yes! I did watch the sequel before the first one. :D After watching They Kiss Again I became curious of what happened to them in It Started With A Kiss. While watching They Kiss Again there are episodes with flashbacks scenes of It Started With A Kiss and I told myself I have to see that scene...that "kilig" scene. ;) This drama has a lot of funny scenes to the point of being hilarious. Love watching it...it amused me so much.

Througout the time I'm watching this drama I suddenly thought that opposites really attract. Xiang Chin being dumb but optimistic and expressive of her emotions, Zhi Shu is her exact opposite...a genius with a 200 IQ and have a hard time expressing himself. There's a lot of annoying scenes between them because of Zhi Shu's coldness and harshness towards Xiang Chin specially when he gets jealous but in the end...Gee! He's the man! :D After watching this drama and the sequel I can't help myself but think...what if? What if I have a man like Jiang Zhi Shu? Life would be perfect...but then I have to be dumb like Xiang Chin. Never mind! I'm ok right now. :D
