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!

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.

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

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♡

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

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

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.

how is this even 41 minutes pls i got so invested this show js insane😭😭😭

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.

Noaki’s spot only Kotoko can touch. You got me dirty minded!!! 💀💀

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

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 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.

So excited 😊

these analysis were so on point, thank you for breaking it down for us! Also the validation I get as a fellow introvert 🤧🙌

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.

Love this video sm! Thanks for 41 minutes that you've made😆 can't wait to next video abt this lovely couple🥰

YESS! FINALLY A NEW VIDEO IM SO EXCITED!!!

💜Thank you for this lovely video!

thank u so much, waiting is so worth it.

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.

a guy with high IQ marries a girl with high EQ... a perfect match!!!🥰🥰❤❤

i needed that advice from naoki, thank you v much for making this vid❤

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.

Thank you so much for the 40 minutes video 😭❤️❤️

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

Damnn, thank u for giving us a 41 min video 😭❤️❤️ The long wait was worth it, we also missed youuu !! ❤️❤️

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.

Ayy, im waitinggg!!🎉

39:16 Sako-San was his detour to his destiny. But, of course, Kotoko wouldn’t realize that.

thanks for updateeee... please do pov after they marrieddddd❤

Thankss 😀😁

15:49 that’s right all the other girls are always kissing his ass, he’s attracted to Kotoko right away.

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。

There no season 2 analysis?????

Waaaaaa 🌸🌸😻
