Well I used a specific example in my title for a more generalized comment/idea I had about watching a Japanese show instead of the Korean shows I usually watch. I had always suspected, as I have not previously watched a lot of Japanese shows that weren’t animated, that Korean television would feel more restricted. That being said….

I am very sorry for not taking more time to completely flush out all of my knowledge about the shows and their origins before posting.

Really, I was just talking about the comparison I was drawing between the older Korean show versus the newer Japanese one, not about the materials origin.  I guess it would have been better to say, “I never would have expected to feel less sexual tension between the characters in the Japanese version than I did in the Korean version. And I mean this on a script and staging level more than on an actor chemistry level.”

If there is one thing I realized watching Playful Kiss it was that it was based on a manga, they make it pretty obvious even without reading the Dramafever page or Kim Hyun-joong’s Wikipedia.  Oh, hell I don’t even know if Dramafever has that on there. I’m going to look ignorant again.
