Would it be normal if I didn't fall in love with some of the songs from the drama's soundtrack and I fell in love with the tracks more knowing the male lead had written and composed some of the songs himself.

As you can see from earlier in my post, I have watched the Korean version Playful Kiss and the Japanese version Mischievous Kiss, and I have to say that Miss in Kiss is my favourite take on the drama. I loved the casting choices, I loved the setting and I loved the script.
Dino Lee is my favourite male lead out of all the adaptations of the manga, he seemed to bring something to the role that none of the others did. While both Kim Hyun Joong and Yuki Furukawa played their roles as guys who had no emotions and were cold and expressionless till they admit how they feel, Dino Lee played his role more with a little confusion on how to deal with how he was feeling towards Xiang Yue Qin, meaning that even though he has a cold exterior you couldn't help but warm to him. I loved that in this adaptation we got to see him smile a lot more, which you can't deny that Dino Lee's smile just melts you and makes you love not only him as an actor but also the role he's playing.
Like with Dino Lee, I have to say Esther Wu is also my favourite of all the female leads, while I find the character annoying and frustrating at times for how she allows Zhi Shu to treat her, I can't help but love her portrayal of Yue Qin. Plus the chemistry between the two of them was just amazing, making their relationship on screen more believable.
I loved Gong Yi Teng as Jin Zhi Zhu, in the Korean and Japanese adaptations I have watched, they had his character be more of the comedic relief, but I liked that while he did add comedy in this adaptation, there was a more serious and emotional value to his character.
I thought Wei Lun Xi as Wu Zi Yu, I think she was perfect in her role and I loved watching her relationship with Yue Qin blossom into friendship, I thought she was also perfect at being the female version of Zhi Shu when it came to brains but I also loved that she was more upfront with her feelings and desires unlike Zhi Shu.
On a whole I think the cast bounced off one another and I thought they really worked well together, I'd happily watch another drama with this casting as well as watching them all in different roles and as different character.
If I had to recommend one of the adaptations for you to watch then I would highly recommend Miss in Kiss, this cast is the one I enjoyed watching the most, and I'd happily sit and watch it again.
