It Started with a Kiss(惡作劇之吻) and Playful Kiss (장난스런 키스)
These two stories are generally the same based on a manga. It starts off in high school where the female lead is a silly "stupid" girl who has been in love with the same super smart guy for many years. After her friends encourage her to confess her feelings, she gets up the courage to write a love letter..... only to get snubbed in public and become the laughingstock of the entire school. Her father raised her single-handed and loves his darling daughter. However, disaster struck that night in the form of an earthquake that caused her to lose her home. This incident becomes part of the news broadcast due to the fact that their house is the ONLY one that toppled after a very minor earthquake. While watching the news, her father's childhood friend recognizes the father and they get in touch. The father's childhood friend has invited them to stay at their house while they figure things out. Little did she know... this house happens to be her crush's home! Speaking of the male lead... This guy is supposedly the perfect man. He is smart, handsome, rich.... with one BIG catch... He is kind of cold and twisted due to his mother dressing him up and treating him like a little girl since he was little. Is this girl able to help him overcome his coldness? Will she manage to get him to fall in love with her?
It Started with a Kiss (惡作劇之吻)
Rating: 7/10
Pros: The character development. The main characters found each other's "missing piece". For example, the guy learns to be more "human" while the girl learns to make up her own mind instead of always doing things just because of the guy's choices.
Cons: I found the main girl character extremely foolish and idiotic. It was so bad that I was tempted to reach over and smack her upside the head many times.
I found the guy extremely cold and uncaring. I know that's the point, but even I sometimes wondered if he even like her or not. The second season is definitely an improvement in that area.

Mischievous Kiss/Playful Kiss (장난스런 키스)
Rating: 8/10
Pros: I liked this series better because the guy had moments where it was obvious he cared, but he has his hot 'n cold moments.
This series also had character development in the same way as It Started with a Kiss. I love how the main characters grow.

I love love loved the mother character. She was so adorable and funny. The guy's younger brother character was also adorable.
Cons: The daydreams were ridiculous and silly. In fact, it made her seem even more stupid and childish.
