They Kiss Again (Chinese: 惡作劇2吻; pinyin: È Zuò Jù Èr Wěn) is a Taiwanese drama starring Joe Cheng, Ariel Lin, Jiro Wang of Fahrenheit and Danson Tang. It is the sequel to It Started with a Kiss which is based on the Japanese manga series Itazura na Kiss (イタズラなKiss, Mischievous Kiss) written by Kaoru Tada. It was produced by Comic International Productions () and directed by Chu Yu-ning (). It started filming 26 March 2007 and wrapped 19 January 2008.
It was first broadcast in Taiwan on free-to-air China Television (CTV) (中視) from 16 December 2007 to 27 April 2008, every Sunday at 22:00 to 23:30 and cable TV Gala Television (GTV) Variety Show/CH 28 (八大綜合台) on 22 December 2007 to 3 May 2008, every Saturday at 21:30 to 23:00.
It is the third live-action television adaptation following the Japanese adaptation also titled Itazura na Kiss, its Taiwnaese prequel It Started with a Kiss in 2005 and followed by a South Korean adaptation Playful Kiss in 2010 broadcast on MBC.
It Started with a Kiss ended with odd couple Zhi Shu (Joe Cheng) and Xiang Qin (Ariel Lin) getting married in characteristically comical fashion, and the sequel picks up the story with their honeymoon and married life. Xiang Qin is as ham-fisted as ever, creating many funny situations as she learns the ropes of being a wife and tries hard to become a good nurse and work alongside her genius husband. Aspiring doctor Zhi Shu meets some obstacles at school when he encounters both academic and romantic rivals who are determined to over-rule him.
