なぜ日本語を学びたいですか。 こんにちは。私の名前はアリメルです。日本のドラマが大好きですから、日本語を学びたいです。ドラマの名前はイタズラなKissです。いりえなおきとあいはらことこはとてもかわいいです。:D

Why is ことが好きです used when saying you like someone? So, I've been learning Japanese at school for 3 years and we recently just got taught how to say that you like something or that you like to do something. When saying you like something ～が好きです is used, and when saying you like to do something it's ~することが好きです。 However, I've recently started to watch a Japanese drama called イタズラなKiss (if you know it please message me and we can fangirl together xD) and whenever they say that they like someone, they always say ~ことがすきです, eg "I like Irie kun" is said as 入江くんのことが好きです。 So yeah, long story short, I was just wondering why this happens. (Sorry for the novella haha)
