First Love

First Love is a must watch for every romance enthusiastic. It had me smiling and tearing up every few minutes.

I'm not sure if the show was inspired by Kimi no Na wa (Your Name) but it definitely feels like it at multiple points throughout the show. The story is very similar to Your Name and so is the background score. It was like i was watching a different version of the Anime movie.

I found it a little confusing in the beginning, but later realised that the different timelines make the show much better. All you have to do is keep watching.

The main story with Yae and Harumichi is beautiful and so are the side characters' storylines. Each character has its own importance in the show's different timelines.

Everything blends together very well. None of the episodes felt like long drags like a lot of romantic shows do.

Binge watched Japanese drama 'First Love'

Inspired from songs by Hikaru Utada, It's a slow-burn romantic drama.

Simple story presented in swoon-worthy, heartwarming, heart-touching way.

Writer-director Yuri Kanchiku beautifully narrates the screenplay.

Each episode is like a connecting pieces of puzzle, which makes it immersing, intriguing and interesting.

Each small detail in storytelling is so important, Even small dialogues, activities and objects play important part.. Each action of a character is beautifully presented, why he/she took such decision, which gives depth to characters.

Series has perfect casting, specially lead couple, their older and younger versions.

Their acting is enthralling. Chemistry is top-notch.

It not only narrate dynamics of a couple in different life stages but also relation of mother-daughter, friends, mother-son n siblings.

Drama has beautiful OSTs, breathtaking visuals, specially in the last episode has Icelandic scenery.

I find myself shedding tears in each episode. Truly heartfelt for me.

If you think it's a TV series about Japanese pure love! ? Then you may miss a good work.

The range he spanned happened to match my age.

It's like when I listened to Hikaru Utada's first single 'First Love' when I was a student From the Fukushima Earthquake in Japan to the current COVID-19 in 2022.

When I watch the TV series, it seems that I have gone through these years with the TV series.

It describes the bitterness and joy encountered in half a lifetime of life.

No matter how hard the day is, always face it with a smile.

And silently holding back tears behind his back.

It describes the strength of women and the greatness of mothers.

These processes are also everyone's first time.

A choice made out of love.

The performance of the story also hopes that everyone can be like the leading actor in the end.

Able to overcome their difficulties.

Boldly do something for yourself that may change the rest of your life.

I loved it.

It's a beautiful, heartbreaking, and an excellent series.

I rarely give 10s on a first view, but I have to say that I absolutely loved this series.

Everything is amazing - Story, Main Leads, Their Chemistry, Acting, Star Cast, Background Score, Music.

I completed this series in 1 days and I am suffering from Post Drama Syndrome now. I can't get over it. Fabulous love story.

It is so moving that I found myself shedding a couple of tears everytime it was on.

If you're looking to see what true, real love and dedication/effort is, then this is the show for you. Will never forget.

Great story with great song, great actor and I love the way how the director connect all different timeline by years and present the past to the audience.

I have been growing up with this famous classic Japanese song from Utada Hikaru and I am so happy that they create this art-piece based on the story of the songs, and i believe that it would be great before watching it.

I think the young actor and actress also did very well which my memory of first love also flashback during watching it. Love the last two sections which may me cry.

Thank you Netflix for producing such amazing series to me!
