Funny how I found this video during one of my sleepless night.. everything you said really hit me like a car cause I kinda feel like i’m more lost that I ever been before. I watched this drama during a couple of months of extreme anxiety and it really gave me a lot of comfort, just now I realised that I still search this feeling with your videos, so thanks and keep it up bc we really appreciate your work! ❤️
I've been having a hard time since the pandemic started. Choosing a course for college was the hardest decision I've ever made. I don't even know what I want to do. I paint, but I can't pursue the only thing that makes me sane. One night, I was feeling lost. I remembered that this drama became my go-to drama back when I was in elementary. The feeling of rushing to go home because you don't wanna miss an episode - the feeling of being free. That night, I decided to watch this here on RUclips to make me feel like I'm also a normal person.. It's been almost a decade since the first time I've watched this, but it still feels like home. And it's been almost a year since I started rewatching this, and even after 4 rewatch, I could still see myself watching it for the next years of my life.
Nandhini, I know it's really hard for you right now. Just as dull coal undergoes painful process to become a diamond, this pain is necessary for you to grow, too. Work at you own pace. You can do this, I trust you, Bestie. ✨
Thank you, this video is resonating with me so much. Itazura na kiss has been my comfort show for so long. Sometimes I wonder if RUclips knows when I'm not feeling well and recommends it to me. As an introvert I understand noaki, as a female who struggles with self worth and not having any goals I see myself in Kotoko. It's funny how when I first watched the show I didn't see anything wrong with it, throughout the years I went from seeing Naoki as a prince charming to a red flag to a misunderstood teenager to a complex character that has both good and bad characteristics. But what I have come to realize is that Kotoko is just as complex, what I considered tenacity and perseverance in the beginning could be interpreted as stalking annoying toxic behavior. But because I could see the cause of it (not having a mother figure, or a model of how a woman's worth comes before a teenage daydream of romance, being called stupid constantly by the people she loved the most) I often dismissed it. But season two did a good job showing that the Kotoko/Naoki couple weren't good because we rooted for them for so long but because they were there for each other in subtle ways and moments that became pivotal in their life. Sorry for the rumbling and happy birthday day to you.🎉
Your insight is so wonderful! Funny how we both have similar views on their characteristics. I was actually planning ages ago to address these, too but I decided I'd do it after all the analyses from season 1 to season 2. You're not really rumbling, you're making a lot of sense. 💗 Thank you for the greetings BTW ✨
I´ve been waiting for these videos. Thank you for sharing your experience. When you are lost there is also the existence of a path to take, while you search for that path doing and discovering yourself can be so helpful to understand what is that that you might see yourself doing in the future
I rewatched the entire first season and I'm halfway through the second season after discovering this channel, there's so many small things to be analysed I love your videos!!
Thank you so much for your greetings Kalled4th. I'm glad you keep moving forward, but I do hope you find joy in every little things you do because like what they say, happiness is not in the destination but in the journey itself. I hope yoi find those little things that will make your heart and soul flutter ✨
First of all, happy birthday! 🎉 I'm glad one of your videos popped up on my home feed! This J-drama has been one of my favourites and I've watched it a hundred times, mostly whenever I'm sad or in another stage of "maturity" in my life because everytime I rewatch it, I always learn or observe something new that I haven't noticed before. I also did an analysis on this drama but mine is in my special journal and I legit cried while watching this (and I'm still crying while typing) because in a world where I thought everyone is reaching for their dreams and goals, I'm still here, quite not sure on what I really want to do in life and I am constantly anxious whenever I feel like I'm not doing enough. I bawled at the part where you said that I'm not the only one who hasn't figured things out because I really thought I was alone for the longest time and just like what I wrote in my journal, "It's okay to be slow. You're doing your best and that's what matters! You will find your meaning along the way! Believe in yourself, okay? You'll be fine, everything will be." I can't stop crying rn knowing that a lot of us are trying, are moving forward and aren't giving up even though we don't know what life has in stored for us but I hope all of us will know that as long as we're doing good and are being nice, we will find our purpose and great things will happen for us! Just hang in there! I am genuinely grateful that I stumbled on your channel! You have no idea how many people you've saved by giving them hope and by making them happy through these analysis. I guess this is one of your purpose in life! If you feel like it's not, I hope one day, you will find your path and walk on it confidently and reach at the end of it happily. ✨ Happy birthday agaaain! And thank youuu for existing! ❤️🎉
Pauline, back in my terribly lost phase, I really needed someone to hug me and say it's going to work out and so wish I can hug you right now. I know you are going through so much. I know you are doing your best but sometimes you feel it isn't enough to see the difference and you might sometimes wonder if it is even worth it at all. But just as little drops of water can destroy that hard cement through constant drops, I hope you hold on and continually move forward. I understand that some days you needed to rest because it's tiring to walk to what seems pointless road, but please don't give up. I imagine this what it must have felt like for people from ancient age where there are no maps, they keep walking until they find something and when they get to something, if they aren't satisfied they take more journeys until they find home, their dreams. I hope we can be like them. Cheer up a little, you didn't came this far to stay this far. ILY, bestie. Cheering you on! 💗
thanks for making this channel and specially this video, I've been having fun with your analysis about Irie but this video felt different, when you said "that's you, it's all of us" I shed some tears. will you make analysis about Kotoko too? bc she's really interesting. She must have felt alone for a long time. Kotoko was called clumsy, dumb good for nothing her whole life, that's why she doubts and sabotage herself, I kind of been in her shoes. I do have a dream and I want to make it real, but since I never saw myself smart or pretty and felt stupid for long time, everytime I have something new to learn I'm like "I am useless, is this really for me, can I really do it? Why everyone catch this that fast, should I give up?" I won't give up on my dream, but I need to trust myself first, that's the hard part, I bet Kotoko felt like that too.
By the way I am a 35 year veteran in the Social Work field and graduated at the top of my class in college. Not blowing my horn but saying you have a great gift! I am so happy with your interpretations with Naoki!! God Bless you and your lifes journey!!!!!
when i watched that show i only watched it for entertainment, its now one of my favorite show/ movie, ur channel made me realize a lot of things in the show
Thank you! You're not alone💙 I'm feeling that way too when I watch this episode. You've done well, through this channel I feel like I found friend who can hype this dorama with me. Thank you so much!💙
Hi bestie♡ Firstly, I'm really happy and proud of you. You've done great girl! (I mean that you found yourself) And I'm grateful for your works. They are make us feel better. This video especially. Secondly, I want to answer for your question. Like, do I feel lost? Oh yes, I do. You know, I'm 16 and this is the time of my life when I need to choose. I don't have enough time, so I'm anxious because of everything. I need to choose my future's direction (path), education, university, find a job, improve my dance skills (I'm a dancer). But there's too many pressure under my head. I'm still a child, silly little girl and I don't want to play this uninteresting game called "adult life". All people around me made their decisions quickly and I'm the one who stayed outside. I'm lost and I want to be found by myself. I hope I will. Thank you for you motivate. Kotoko is the best girl, right? She is so natural, not too idealized like other FLs. I love her and you, bestie
You're right, you're still a child and I know how painful it is to be forced to grow up. I know it's hard when you don't know what direction to take or even if you know, you're scared you'll mess up and won't make it back up. I've been in an exact situation where you have to choose multiple things to do at once so I wish to share to you the dearest advice I would tell my 16 years old self: CHOOSE WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT. The biggest wrong turn I took in life is when I was 16, too. I let someone else dictate what I should be because I was too scared to choose. Don't get pressured to take path where people say are good for you, you know yourself better than anyone so choose what you love and love what you choose. Happiness doesn't come by more often when you're older so while you're young choose a path that will at least lead you to find joy while you're on it. ✨💗
yeah, those decisions at that age... it's easier when you know what you like or your skills, anyway is really hard. Take it easy, ok? you can't decide about your future in one night. As much as you can, enjoy your 16. You can worry about the future later, you're a teen once in lifetime. My peace of advice would be "don't let anyone decide for you bc it is your life. Choose what you like, what makes you happy. You'll surely feel bad, dissapointed, etc etc. but don't give up" I wish you a beautiful and healthy life♥ btw, remember the quote Kotoko searched for when studying in S1E2? that's really motivating xd ps: I didn't read the other comment jsjs, listen to her xd
@@nadialagra3850 I'm so grateful for you, Nadia Lagra. Thank you so much for your words. It is means a lot to me. I wish you great, bright life too. You are so kind, so you deserve it and you will get it (I mean the great life)
@@slimteddy I'm glad I help you a little bit.❣️ I'm just a few years older than you but I've been there, I know how it feels like bc even now, in college and following my dream, I feel insecure and doubt myself a lot. Also, the thought of giving up and taking the easy road is always there but I don't want to hurt my pride xdxd just kiddin. Let time decide too, bc now you might like something, but then you'll realize that there's something you like the most so you end up changing the road and goin for what makes you happy. Just don't expect it to be easy, but again go back to Kotoko's quote in ep2 jsjs Stay healthy girl, mind your own peace and happiness first, ok? Live for you❣️
Its interesting you brought this up because I really appreciate your insight in these characters because it is also helping learning more about myself. ❤
I dunno if I've said it here before, but I will say it again- Thank You for being vulnerable with us about your situation and your inspiration behind this channel. It is so hard to cope with the feeling of not knowing what you want to do while everyone else seems to have their sh!t together- equally hard is knowing what you want to do but not knowing how to go about it or feeling like you CAN'T go for it. I went to college 10 years after all of my HS classmates (making me 10+ years older than most of my peers! Suuuuuuuck! They frequently called me "Mom" & I HATED it!) because I was told that college was not in the cards for me. So I got an adult job, I took community college courses at night & got an Associate's degree. But I had wanted to be an artist since I was like 4 and wanted to go to college since I was 8! It was finally my best friend who, coming BACK from her second degree and starting her THIRD! (she's a doctor- I brag about her!), told me that I could go to college if I wanted to. She literally said "That's what loans are for!" So I stoked that passion and fire I had under my butt & after the first rejection, I got into my dream college/#1 art college in the country. Did I hate that I was older than the 17 & 18 year old kids in my class? YES! But I also sometimes think that if things had gone differently, I'd have dropped out because I wouldn't have been able to handle the stress at their age! (The first year at my school is commonly referred to as Boot Camp. The dropout rate is high!) EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PACE. The decisions I would have made at 18 were NOT the decisions I made at 28. I would've gone to a different school in a different part of the country. But I finally found my groove & now I work in the animation industry. "Not all who wander are lost." - Tolkien
I gave the 100th like! I wanted to do it as a thank you for creating your content, especially this video despite it being like a detour from Naoki’s mind. I can remember watching this during my last year of high school and didn’t think about how it also helped me through my lost period. I’m now an English teacher in Korea and never imagined I’d be here 10 years ago (I realize that was around the time I first watched. Your channel brings me pleasant nostalgia while also giving me some fresh perspective or clarity on Naoki and other characters). Anyway, thank you for making this particular video for us all to reflect and encourage ourselves at our own paces. I hope you are well and around good company.
I would love to see your analysis on Naoki being jealous in Season 2 But still thank you for your videos. It feels more realistic and romantic at the same time
I feel you. Though, I was actually the first one who got successful in my circle with a great job and a very respected title at such a young age. I left it all because I know that it was taking a toll on my mental health. years after, I struggled to get back on my feet because everything that dragged me down back then kept on haunting me and it eventually grew to be one of my insecurities. Now, I see my friends who were struggling before be more successful than I am while I felt like I was stuck to where I had fallen. When you said you are happy for them but you're sad for yourself, I felt that. However, I knew that the experience needed to be there to make me a better person. Let's continue to hope for better days because I know the future has something in store for us. I am with you in this. You are not alone. We are not alone. ^^ Ps. I really enjoy your take on Mischievous Kiss. I am a really big fan of the storyline and I have already watched all the versions. It is definitely one of my favorite dramas and it makes me happy that someone is actually sharing his/her thoughts on it, too. ^^
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉 Wyatb. I really enjoy watching all your video and Love your channel so much. I kinda in the same situation with you kotoko right now so you're video help me a lot. Arigatou
Thanks Bestie. I hope you find yourself in better situation. Like when Naoki and Kotoko slept together and Naoki found out what he wants. I wish you find your dreams like Naoki but mostly I wish you have a Naoki 😆 Love you bestie!!
God bless you and your awesome insight!!! I now see this "movie" and the characters in a different light! Your awesome!! Your ability to read others is a blessing. Maybe you could be a therapist!!!!! Please keep in touch!!!!!!
About feeling lost. We really do go through it, and sadly, a lot of us go through it again and again...every time we lose a job or a dream doesn't pan out well. Majored in something during my undergraduate degree. I enjoyed it and moved on to the grad level. I hoped maybe I would like teaching or that I would figure out a career related to my grad degree during those years. What I found out was that I didn't care for the people or attitudes prevailing in my career field. And I was not a good teacher and furthermore disliked almost everything about teaching. It was discouraging. I did find a related career for a couple of years, then left the workforce. It's a career I would work in but I may not be able to re-enter the workplace. If I do re-enter it, I will be trying to figure out my life, this time with a graduate degree I may not want to use. 😅 My brother told me once that life was like a video game that got harder and harder until you died. 😂 I'm starting to think he was on to something.
Pwede maging barista or counsellor sa school si Kotoko kasi mataas naman eq niya and optimistic lagi. Saka based from the analysis she can do any field kasi nga pagpupursigihan niya talaga like sa nursing. At first diba dahil kay Naoki talaga, pero later on may personal na rewson na rin s’ya. Personal message: Hi! I’m psychology student…I admire your observation skills, interpreting body language, and incorporating culture sa analysis mo. I hope you find your dream and career you want to walk though out your life, congrats if you do then also good luck. If you still don’t try to look at my field psychology the traits that I’ve all mentioned are a critical component in our field.
@@machitsuki2 you know the fight where kotoko threw all the pillows at naoki I would love to see an analysis on how he felt cause during the fight everyone thought naoki we the bad guy
I think on this episode kotoko feels struggle about her future. She doesn't want continue her study, but she can't left her study too. In season 2 episode 3 when Kotoko on the swing with Naoki, finally Kotoko finding her future. Same as like Naoki on medical, but different. Naoki support Kotoko, because Naoki knows that all family must be rejected Kotoko dream. But Naoki, he is not. Because he remember, how Kotoko support him to change his subject. From technic to medical.
Hace poco que pude traducir lo que decia este video y quiere expresarle a la creafora de este video mi apoyo y que esta lucha ,de encontrar un sueño o metas , será posible y que llegará el momento en el que encontrara su camino por el momento perseverancia y mucha fuerza para la creadora y para todo que lo necesite. Aprendamos de Kotoko y continuemos con una sonrisa , enfrentemos la dificultad con valentia y fortaleza. 🎉
do remember which ep it was when kotoko told naoki that she has been kissed by kieta i guess i don't remember well< and he said that i have to clean up haha?
I wish they would stop showing the extra letters with people writing on top of the screen we would just like to hear them talking that other people think it’s nice but not that nice sometimes annoying when you try to watch a beautiful drama
Funny how I found this video during one of my sleepless night.. everything you said really hit me like a car cause I kinda feel like i’m more lost that I ever been before. I watched this drama during a couple of months of extreme anxiety and it really gave me a lot of comfort, just now I realised that I still search this feeling with your videos, so thanks and keep it up bc we really appreciate your work! ❤️

One night, I was feeling lost. I remembered that this drama became my go-to drama back when I was in elementary. The feeling of rushing to go home because you don't wanna miss an episode - the feeling of being free.

I REALLY needed someone to say this to me. I am glad I found your channel. 💜 It feels like God send me this message through you.
Nandhini, I know it's really hard for you right now. Just as dull coal undergoes painful process to become a diamond, this pain is necessary for you to grow, too. Work at you own pace. You can do this, I trust you, Bestie. ✨

Hi bestie♡
Firstly, I'm really happy and proud of you. You've done great girl! (I mean that you found yourself) And I'm grateful for your works. They are make us feel better. This video especially.

But I also sometimes think that if things had gone differently, I'd have dropped out because I wouldn't have been able to handle the stress at their age! (The first year at my school is commonly referred to as Boot Camp. The dropout rate is high!)
EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PACE. The decisions I would have made at 18 were NOT the decisions I made at 28. I would've gone to a different school in a different part of the country. But I finally found my groove & now I work in the animation industry. "Not all who wander are lost." - Tolkien
I gave the 100th like! I wanted to do it as a thank you for creating your content, especially this video despite it being like a detour from Naoki’s mind. I can remember watching this during my last year of high school and didn’t think about how it also helped me through my lost period. I’m now an English teacher in Korea and never imagined I’d be here 10 years ago (I realize that was around the time I first watched. Your channel brings me pleasant nostalgia while also giving me some fresh perspective or clarity on Naoki and other characters). Anyway, thank you for making this particular video for us all to reflect and encourage ourselves at our own paces. I hope you are well and around good company.
I would love to see your analysis on Naoki being jealous in Season 2
But still thank you for your videos. It feels more realistic and romantic at the same time
I feel you. Though, I was actually the first one who got successful in my circle with a great job and a very respected title at such a young age. I left it all because I know that it was taking a toll on my mental health. years after, I struggled to get back on my feet because everything that dragged me down back then kept on haunting me and it eventually grew to be one of my insecurities. Now, I see my friends who were struggling before be more successful than I am while I felt like I was stuck to where I had fallen. When you said you are happy for them but you're sad for yourself, I felt that. However, I knew that the experience needed to be there to make me a better person. Let's continue to hope for better days because I know the future has something in store for us. I am with you in this. You are not alone. We are not alone. ^^
Ps. I really enjoy your take on Mischievous Kiss. I am a really big fan of the storyline and I have already watched all the versions. It is definitely one of my favorite dramas and it makes me happy that someone is actually sharing his/her thoughts on it, too. ^^
Happy birthday!!!!! You're doing a fantastic job❤

More videos for season 2 pleaseee...😊
About feeling lost. We really do go through it, and sadly, a lot of us go through it again and again...every time we lose a job or a dream doesn't pan out well.
Majored in something during my undergraduate degree. I enjoyed it and moved on to the grad level. I hoped maybe I would like teaching or that I would figure out a career related to my grad degree during those years. What I found out was that I didn't care for the people or attitudes prevailing in my career field. And I was not a good teacher and furthermore disliked almost everything about teaching.
It was discouraging. I did find a related career for a couple of years, then left the workforce. It's a career I would work in but I may not be able to re-enter the workplace. If I do re-enter it, I will be trying to figure out my life, this time with a graduate degree I may not want to use. 😅
My brother told me once that life was like a video game that got harder and harder until you died. 😂 I'm starting to think he was on to something.
forever ❤ with naoki and kotoko
11:16 oh my binge watching these videos i got to learn new things and relate to all of those introversion 😊
Pwede maging barista or counsellor sa school si Kotoko kasi mataas naman eq niya and optimistic lagi. Saka based from the analysis she can do any field kasi nga pagpupursigihan niya talaga like sa nursing. At first diba dahil kay Naoki talaga, pero later on may personal na rewson na rin s’ya.
Personal message:
Hi! I’m psychology student…I admire your observation skills, interpreting body language, and incorporating culture sa analysis mo. I hope you find your dream and career you want to walk though out your life, congrats if you do then also good luck. If you still don’t try to look at my field psychology the traits that I’ve all mentioned are a critical component in our field.
I'm already over mischievous kiss now😭😭😭 but I wanna try to watch it again but I still remember the episode's😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Muchas gracias por traducirlo ❤😮
You are most welcome 💗
Hi bestieee ❤ pls make analysis on naoki accept the marriage arrangement to save his dad's business. Is he really wants to know that girl and why 😢
Can you please make a video analyzing how naoki felt during his and kotoko’s fight during the end of ep 6 season 2❤
Episode 6 of season 1 or season 2?
@@machitsuki2 season 2
@@machitsuki2 you know the fight where kotoko threw all the pillows at naoki I would love to see an analysis on how he felt cause during the fight everyone thought naoki we the bad guy
Oh no. I'm almost finished. I don't want this to end. What will I watch from now on?
I miss ur videossss!
I think on this episode kotoko feels struggle about her future. She doesn't want continue her study, but she can't left her study too. In season 2 episode 3 when Kotoko on the swing with Naoki, finally Kotoko finding her future. Same as like Naoki on medical, but different. Naoki support Kotoko, because Naoki knows that all family must be rejected Kotoko dream. But Naoki, he is not. Because he remember, how Kotoko support him to change his subject. From technic to medical.
Fighting girl 💪
Hace poco que pude traducir lo que decia este video y quiere expresarle a la creafora de este video mi apoyo y que esta lucha ,de encontrar un sueño o metas , será posible y que llegará el momento en el que encontrara su camino por el momento perseverancia y mucha fuerza para la creadora y para todo que lo necesite.
Aprendamos de Kotoko y continuemos con una sonrisa , enfrentemos la dificultad con valentia y fortaleza.
🎉
Mariza, I hope we all find our dreams, too. I hope you already found yours. Thank you so much for your well wishes.✨💗
do remember which ep it was when kotoko told naoki that she has been kissed by kieta i guess i don't remember well< and he said that i have to clean up haha?
I really want to know which country you are from? And are you a boy or girl!
Haz uno de la segunda temporada porfaaa
Yes I would. I'm just combing through season one so season 2 will make more sense 💗
Many viewers underestimate Kotoko's value and importance.
I wish they would stop showing the extra letters with people writing on top of the screen we would just like to hear them talking that other people think it’s nice but not that nice sometimes annoying when you try to watch a beautiful drama
