What makes It Started With a Kiss worth watching

Defining Taiwanese rom-com of the 2000s.

It Started With a Kiss represents a strong example of taiwan romance from the 2005 production cycle. Taiwanese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Romance and Comedy elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.

The cast is led by Joe Cheng, Ariel Lin. It originally aired on CTV, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
