"It Started with a Kiss" is a Taiwanese romantic comedy series that originally aired in 2005. The show follows the story of two high school students, Zhu Geliang (played by Van Fan) and Xie Shuang (played by Ariel Lin), who share a clumsy and unforgettable first kiss. The series explores their on-again, off-again relationship as they navigate the ups and downs of high school life, friendships, and first love.

When Jiang Mama forces Zhishu to marry Xiangqin, the Khmer translation leaned into the concept of "Katanyu" (gratitude and duty). It wasn't just a crazy mother’s whim; it felt like a proper family obligation. This small shift made Zhishu’s reluctant acceptance more relatable to a Khmer audience than the original Mandarin script.
