This is exactly the reason why for naoki kotoko is incomparable to anyone. Because she doesn't just love him for his superficial and good attributes. But also accepted him for him. Flaws and all. He found someone who understands and accepts him for who he is and that's the reason why he fell in love. He found that one single person in the world who loved him for both his flaws and strengths and she never tried to change him for having his undesirable traits. He understands and accepts him and just loved him the way she knows how. And that touches his heart. That instead to formally date her he asks for her hand in marriage right away. He was that sure that no other woman can get to his heart the way she did. That's why when kotoko said he won him over with his impeteous pestering and approach he laughs at the thought because it was not true. He won him over with her understanding and her heart to accept him wholeheartedly despite witnessing his not so desirable traits.
The fact that this channel probably made mischievious kiss gain more popularity and a fandom for ppl that havent seen it even after airing like a decade ago . Thank u for these videos and how ure still posting!
I am amazed on how you determine all of these characteristics of his but I am more amazed on how yuki (naoki's portrayer) and the director of this drama made it so smooth and perfect where all of their viewers are free to feel the drama as if they were there hahahaha
He must've really respected her opinions because after the fight with his parents he listened to her even after she "sided" with his parents for him to know that she also understood what he was going through...most people only would have listened up to the one point of view instead of her understanding both sides.
Most people only listen long enough to hear what they want to hear and if they don't they check out of the conversation until they do hear what they want to hear.
Kotoko's way of showing love is exactly how it should be, always ready to serve others and putting others before herself. I always find her admirable for being strong and loyal to her love for Naoki even though things get tough, she stood her ground and believed in the good of everything. Sometimes it gets so tough but life works funnily when you put all your hope and faith in goodness and truth.
His relationship with Sahoko was necessary because it showed us how he operates normally. He can behave well because he's studied what people are supposed to do and say, but he's not happy doing it because he doesn't feel the way he's acting. I think we can assume he's spent his whole life just imitating other people's social cues, and that's why when Kotoko is always catching him off-guard he genuinely does not know what to do or say. He's just been going by the textbook but the textbook has been taken away and for the first time he has the actual feelings--which he never did before--and no way to verbalize them. Kotoko teaches him to be genuine and shows him the contrast, how a life lived inauthentically can be externally perfect and still feel totally miserable. While with Kotoko everything tends to go wrong and even if he's frustrated he feels engaged in his life...rather than just like a puppet. We seem this theme echoed again when Sahoko and Matsumoto keep saying how being with him was fate because of the external circumstances (the almost-scripted meeting, the fact that all of their physical attributes and talents match). Yet, it's interesting that the beginning of the series refers to the same type of thing as being kicked off by misfortune rather than fortune and an event that ruins the inside workings of both Kotoko's and Irie's homes. It seems to point out that fate is not pretty nor is it neat, that it does with us what it likes. And sometimes things that are the best for us rearrange our lives and viewpoints in ways that actually aren't pleasant for us at all.
Girrrrrrl! I love it. I was so excited when I saw the notification aaaa! Ya know, I jus can't wait to you arrive in 2nd season, I will love when you show the point of view of Irie-kin DYING of jealous 'bout Keita. It's something that I ALWAYS want to see it.
31:56 this one I think is Naoki's way of indirectly confessing to her. He could probably know that he love her but Kotoko thinks different because on what she just heard when the family were fighting. That is why Naoki stopped her to say that he wanted to become a doctor because it was her who inspired him and basically told him to become one
This series always reminds me of my first luv which is just ended in one side but I love to watch this series again and again because the luv which I didn't get in reality that can be watched in this story .... I feel so happy that I watching the video after a long time..... I had completed this series in all the languages even though same script but different vibes ....I love this thank you for posting to realize our goal when we are in confusion....
I love how you showcase why this show is so touching. This scene has huge significance in the series as its the reason Naoki will confess after a while that he neads Kotoko. I now want to rewatch the entire show with your comentery on the side. Although i also have a hate love relationship with this scene as its depth makes Naoki's action afterwards (the engagement saga) so frustrating to me.
I love episode when Naoki get slapped from his mom. Why? Because i can see how Kotoko "stand" for Naoki and his parents. Kotoko said something good, even not impartial. And Naoki more open with her. He is genius but low EQ. Kotoko and her dad so close. So she take her self as person who close with parent ( even her dad is single parent), and how her dad think about her and future. Naoki maybe rich, stable, his parent always there, but he never get close with his parent. Even his parent always make path for him. It doesnt mean, Naoki careless and not love his parent, but he just want be himself. Yes the reason he need Kotoko, he need someone who can understand him, and accept his shortcoming. Kotoko perfect for it.
I know exactly how Naoki feels being pressured by the parents. My parents forced me to study law but then had the audacity to say "what do you think?" I wanted to just do film and they just scolded me for it. They then had the nerve to say that I love doing law to other people when I despise learning it. Everybody around me wants me to do law and work in a law firm and it just kills your motivation to do anything else. To make matters worst is that they had the nerve to ask me what I'm thinking. Like idk, since you know me so much, why don't you tell me what I'm thinking.
Relate. I have been told all my life to be a teacher. Because my mom was one. She forced me ( till now ) to take the profession she once take. Hoping for me to take after her. But i wanted to become a romance novelist and study mascommunication or at best maybe AB English because it's somehow close to what i aspire to be but they just wouldn't let me. They gave me an ultimatum. To be a teacher or to not finish school at all. I choose to the latter and decided to work at the age of 19. And now i am already 23 years old running 24 this april and i am still pressured by them to take that damn course.
Thank u so much Machitsuki. I never noticed that I was waiting for your videos. When you have not yet uploaded this video I found myself watching old your vids all over again. Thank you for the last part wherein you gave a glimpse of the encouragement from Naoki. It made a lot of sense. Moreover, I appreciate how you analyzed the video. Surely, this video took much of my time but it's worth it. I watched from first second to last. Love how you edit your vids, "Kapanapanabik at binabalikbalikan"
I didn't even notice that this is a 41-min video. I was just enjoying the analysis you mafe and didn't even feel like a long video. Is that your magic? Or perhaps, because I have this personality to be easily invested in psychology. And I'm liking it.
Being an introvert can be quite hard for us to express our feelings. We tend to listen more but we don’t open up easily to others. It takes a longer process of time for us to really break our shells to others. Once we found the right person who can empathise with us, we will then start to communicate with them. Your explanation finally opens up my feelings as to why I love watching this drama. This may be the reason why I can finish watching all the seasons (unlike other dramas - I left unfinished). This drama has a special place in my heart. I’ll always come back to watch the drama again.
Yuki Furukawa is quite the excellent actor! When you broke down the character of Naoki here, I realized this might be what Yuki was also thinking as he portrayed him exactly as dynamically as your observation.
One thing more is that Naoki trusted Kotoko is because Yuki was saved because of her urgency to save him no matter what. Yuki is so important to Naoki and she became a sister to Yuki. Naoki love his brother so much that he only trusted one person with his brother's life because he knows that Kotoko will not make any stupid decision. That led to his deep trust to Kotoko and so her words make impacts to him.
37:21 When she exposed the 2nd picture his mom gave her, she didn’t betray Naoki, because she had no pact with him, he bargained for the return of one picture and she gave it to him and didn’t make any promises beyond that. Now he is creating a pact with her over this inside knowledge he gave her, a test. And he is keeping her hope alive because of what he told his parents about their choice; but, it just so happens they’ve both made the same choice and he wanted to tell her that in code, and then give her a knife to stab him in the back so he can be sure. He needs a confidant not some one who will run to his mother every time she gains some inside knowledge.
This is exactly the reason why for naoki kotoko is incomparable to anyone. Because she doesn't just love him for his superficial and good attributes. But also accepted him for him. Flaws and all.

FR THOO
I rewatch the drama bcs this analysis❤😂
Same here re the rewatching
I am amazed on how you determine all of these characteristics of his but I am more amazed on how yuki (naoki's portrayer) and the director of this drama made it so smooth and perfect where all of their viewers are free to feel the drama as if they were there hahahaha
I feel like I just learned so much. not only for itazura na kiss but also for me as an introvert understanding my life's route
He must've really respected her opinions because after the fight with his parents he listened to her even after she "sided" with his parents for him to know that she also understood what he was going through...most people only would have listened up to the one point of view instead of her understanding both sides.

Omg you're so talented. I guess psychology is ur thing!!! Ur so good at analysing people🤩

I can't believe you gave us a 40 minute video, the long wait was worth it😭😭 Loved this one, can't wait for the next one♡

these analysis were so on point, thank you for breaking it down for us! Also the validation I get as a fellow introvert 🤧🙌
YESS! FINALLY A NEW VIDEO IM SO EXCITED!!!

Machitsuki, I LOVE YOU sooooo much for making all these analysis videos! 😍 You made me re-watch both of seasons in 2024! Thank youuu! 🙏🥰

me too!!! hehehe
Love this video sm! Thanks for 41 minutes that you've made😆 can't wait to next video abt this lovely couple🥰
I didn't even notice that this is a 41-min video. I was just enjoying the analysis you mafe and didn't even feel like a long video. Is that your magic? Or perhaps, because I have this personality to be easily invested in psychology. And I'm liking it.
Whattttt this is 41 min video..... Why didn't I realised it. Ohh I saw now.

i needed that advice from naoki, thank you v much for making this vid❤
💜Thank you for this lovely video!
thank u so much, waiting is so worth it.
well done, I think they are my favourite dramas, can rewatch withou skipping. thank you for making this.
Thank you so much for the 40 minutes video 😭❤️❤️
Ayy, im waitinggg!!🎉
😤DROP DAT VID ALREADYYY
I NEED TO WATCHHHH
Yuki Furukawa is quite the excellent actor! When you broke down the character of Naoki here, I realized this might be what Yuki was also thinking as he portrayed him exactly as dynamically as your observation.
thanks for updateeee... please do pov after they marrieddddd❤
Damnn, thank u for giving us a 41 min video 😭❤️❤️ The long wait was worth it, we also missed youuu !! ❤️❤️
Noaki’s spot only Kotoko can touch.
You got me dirty minded!!! 💀💀
a guy with high IQ marries a girl with high EQ... a perfect match!!!🥰🥰❤❤
Thankss 😀😁
27:05 the fact that i, too, fall in love with her at this point. shes really the bestest girl ever 😭❤
One thing more is that Naoki trusted Kotoko is because Yuki was saved because of her urgency to save him no matter what. Yuki is so important to Naoki and she became a sister to Yuki. Naoki love his brother so much that he only trusted one person with his brother's life because he knows that Kotoko will not make any stupid decision. That led to his deep trust to Kotoko and so her words make impacts to him.
39:16 Sako-San was his detour to his destiny. But, of course, Kotoko wouldn’t realize that.
Can you explain to Thailand version , Kiss Me 🥺
i needed to hear that advice from Naoki since nadelay ngaako for having failed subjects, haay Naokii
15:49 that’s right all the other girls are always kissing his ass, he’s attracted to Kotoko right away.
17:51 you don’t think he knows she’s getting him back? She went there when he thought he had it contained.
18:59 he’s developed a respect for genuine nature of Kotoko, she doesn’t play politics.
37:21 When she exposed the 2nd picture his mom gave her, she didn’t betray Naoki, because she had no pact with him, he bargained for the return of one picture and she gave it to him and didn’t make any promises beyond that. Now he is creating a pact with her over this inside knowledge he gave her, a test. And he is keeping her hope alive because of what he told his parents about their choice; but, it just so happens they’ve both made the same choice and he wanted to tell her that in code, and then give her a knife to stab him in the back so he can be sure. He needs a confidant not some one who will run to his mother every time she gains some inside knowledge.
33:57 4 Naoki just doesn’t want to do it on their schedule; so, he’ll make them wait until he feels in control.
Isn't it Papa Aihara who compliments Naoki here 3:44 ?
古川君とほのかちゃんのいたキス1と2が大好きです。しばらく前から毎日見てモチベーションをあげています。何十回も見ているので台詞を覚えてしまいました｡伏線や新たな気づきがあり、引き込まれてしまいます。若い世代ではありませんが､大好きです。古川君とほのかちゃんをはじめ、同じキャストで特別編してほしいと願っています。
omggggg nagbabalik ako at andito ka ulitt wiih
Are you a Psychologist or something?, your analysis is on point ❤👍
There no season 2 analysis?????
sigh....guess who rerun s1 s2
Yesss I fell in love with kotoko myself she is so so sweet and understanding she’s a young person of course but also knows how to be wise and caring
Kotoko isn’t so dumb after all.
And she has integrity
Omg 🥰🥰
Waaaaaa 🌸🌸😻
