@@machitsuki2 I hope you are felling better! Thank u so much for your work🎉 this has been my favorite love story since I discovered years ago and I have seen all version so far jeje being able to see things on Naoki's POV has been awesome❤
Yey, i love watching/reading your Naoki Analysis. I also think that since Naoki's dream of becoming a doctor was born thanks to Kotoko; Kotoko herself is part of That Dream and the moment he decides to let go of that dream to help his family, he equally lets go of a future with Kotoko.
Hi LIT Besties, How are y'all? I missed you 🥺 So uhm hey, let me know if you like the new font style I used or if you want me to shift back to the old format I usually use. Enjoy!
I have a theory, Naoki told Kotoko that he wanted to be a doctor, but he wasn't specific (like what kind of doctor he dreamed of), then in S2 eps 1 (where we all know that in S2 Naoki and Kotoko were married), Kotoko was jealous because the woman named Mira who appeared in eps 1, kept approaching Naoki, and when Mira pretended to be sick, Naoki tried to examine her, and we also know that the examination requires physical touching, at that time Kotoko was jealous and didn't accept that Naoki had to touch another woman, then Naoki told Kotoko that Kotoko had married someone who would become a doctor, that's why Kotoko cried and left. At that time, Naoki decided to become a pediatrician, so that Kotoko would not be jealous or not accept. That's just my theory, I don't know, maybe Naoki has another reason.
I think it was kind of stated in the story as to why naoki choose paediatric. That time when his brother got sick and kotoko said something, i think that made him decide right there and then that he will become a paediatrician
I think the reason why Naoki choose pediatric, because when they were on date, there is a boy who got asthma. And Kotoko said so many children ill and Naoki has capability to make them feel better. After sending the boy to hospital.
@@areumnic_ the honeymoon the trigger i think. But in the end, they are could accept their job and desk. To not make different between man and woman. As example he cure christ and the last episode he cure a boy who got injured.
Dude. A channel entirely dedicated to analyzing Naoki's character from my favorite Asian drama of all time? From the time I was in my teens over 10 years ago? Where have you been all my life?? 🤩😆
Machitsuki!!! So good to have a new post from you!! Hope you are doing better. Thank you for sharing your insights, they are precious for all of us. I love this jdrama and I love even more your insights about it. I'm learning so much
ahhhh how I wish that there are full episode commentaries of this show. The commentaries make me feel like I am watching and fangirling with a bestfriend 🥺 I just watched my annual dose of itakiss and I saw this channel and I am surprised that I am falling even more inlove with it. Nobody among my circle understands my love for itakiss. To them, the show is immature. Everytime I watch it, there are always new things I am seeing and learning as if I am watching it again for the first time. The more I mature, the more I understand the characters and their choices. Watching your commentaries makes me feel validated with the things I love about the show. Ahhhgg kung pwede lang magkaroon ng watch party from season 1 to 2!!!!
Finally your video came i was waiting since a long time you helped me a lot understand lots of things that i didn't understand in the drama well this is my fav drama and i just love to watch this drama again and again
Hey, I have a quick question, have you ever watched the 1996 version? If so, would you make an analysis about the differences in Naoki once you're done with the analysis of both seasons ? Appreciate it.
This whole story is about the push/pull orientation of traditional and modern Japanese society. With some characters embodying both. Kotoko and Naoki’s story represent that transition.
It's sad that kotoko and naoki never got the chance to do the marriage ancestral rites before just like what he did with sahoko. You know facing each of their families sides and properly talk about their marriage. What happened was they got married quite abruptly. Both figuratively and literally. Although naoki is not completely againts the marriage. I bet he was caught off guard with the sudden set up his mother had prepared for them. That's why he expressed his dissatisfaction with how everything worked out while they were walking at the altar. I am sure as a man. Naoki don't want to skip everything and had kotoko married to him right away. He wants to make her feel secured first with their relationship as obviously kotoko is unconfident with his love for her. that's why he proposed marriage instead of making her his gf when he confessed. He wanted to take it slow. Get to know each other properly as a couple. Coz they had an open relationship althroughout season 1. You know when they act like a couple but they aren't one kind of vibe. But i think naoki was relieved of his status as her husband later in the series. Coz if he had married her after graduation he probably had a lot of rivals. Saying he's her husband was more secure than just saying he's her boyfriend. At least with his status as a husband. Those who asks for a chance with his wife would think twice and wouldn't pursue her as she's already married to him.
All this is great but there is one more reason, I believe. By agreeing to the arranged marriage, I think it was his last attempt at trying to go back to the boring life he thought he was more suited to and would feel more comfortable in. Only to realize, he was more comfortable in the chaos that Kotoko brings with her.
Hi dear author ❤️ Have you read the manga Itazura na kiss? I'm so curious what you think about it! And I really hope you'll make an analysis video about the 1996 Japanese version 🥺 It's a very valuable part of Itazura na kiss story. Also, the 1996 Naoki is so hot and handsome 😭 Honestly, he's my favorite Naoki! Thank you so much! Love your videos 🫶🏻
