El primer amor

I Just finished binge-watching this series on Netflix and I must say it is a breathe of fresh air for me! This is my first time actually seeing a Japanese drama, I am more on watching Japanes animes be it love story, action or fantasy. But this one, I REALLY LOVE! I love how realistic the storyline, their acting are on point and anyone can relate with series! Love the places featured as well!

It's just kinda sad that it's only 9 episode and 1 season only. I feel like I want MORE!

Two thumbs up! More stories like this that everyone can relate to.

Kudos to all the cast and writer of the series!

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.

Great cast, genuine performances, usually I watch others types of series this is the first Japanese serie but I can say was totally worthy. The scenario was light and daily related, we can se the snow, sea, mountain and the ordinary traffic. And that plus the acting and the history makes you wanna keep watching.

**And now some not requested thoughts:

For me was a completely immersion in real human emotions and actions, we are not wise or inspiring in the one third of ours life, we make huge mistakes and unfortunately we always hurt the loved ones because they are the souls around us seeing ours learnings and growing moments. But that is no excuse to keep failing. Is never too late to apologize and try again, try our best for the people we care, like or love.

First Love is perfection! The storytelling is fantastic. This film is so much more than a story about a true love beginning in youth. This drama is one of a kind, using amazing storytelling, weaving a beautiful story by bringing us back to where it began and forward to where it is today with such ease and excellence. This series is the best I've watched all year, and I've watched a lot! Every main character is so well written and authentic. The story develops at such a pace that you develop a true affinity with the characters. Nominations and awards belong to the lead Actor and Actress, the Director, the Writer, Cinematographer, and everyone who worked on this film. We, as the viewers, are blessed by their achievement. Wish I could give it more stars than 10!! Perfection! An amazing first love!

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.
