A Little Thing Called First Love

A Little Thing Called First Love stars Lai Kuan Lin as Liang Younian, a handsome high-achieving most popular guy in school, and Zhao Jin Mai as Xia MiaoMiao, a sensible, plain new girl in town who falls for Younian at first sight. The drama follows the development of their relationship from high school through their university days and beyond. The metamorphosis of MiaoMiao from a timid plain girl with eyeglasses and bad teeth to a beautiful and confident young lady is fascinating to watch, underlining the power of love to transform a person to be the best he/she can be.

This story about first love is so heartwarming it feels like hot chocolate on a wintry night. Wang Bowen's mesmerizing song Can You Feel My Heart makes me feel like hugging those romantic scenes wherever it is played.

" A little thing called first love " was a nice drama, but, towards the ending, they messed it up.

The story was pretty cute, with a nice paced romance. The love triangle was interesting too, with enough intensity to keep things fresh for a while. Although, her friend was a bit clingy and overdoing it with her obsession for her love interest, which was obvious that wouldn't lead her anywhere. Nevertheless, the main character was pretty likable, with a nice, smooth character development that was well handled. However, the final episodes were disappointing. Especially the last one, was a bit open, as they didn't conclude everything nicely.

So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

I really liked the drama, the characters were good and even the story has a nice plot but i was still expecting something meaningful at the end. The end was kind of incomplete as nothing was concluded. But still the story was good and entertaining with an element of irony.

My 1st Chinese series. I can't gush more about how much I liked this series😭 Such a well-written show with such fleshed out characters (except for Younian who is unrealistically perfect). If you see the story looks cliche' on the face of it (I mean, a geeky girl falling for a popular guy and then becomes beautiful), BUT the story's been told in such a fresh manner with subtle nuances that you fall in love with the characters. Thank God, no overnight fashion makeovers! The transformation happens at a slower pace, much like real life (I didn't like the equivalence of beauty with fair complexion though. Colourism is unacceptable) Personally, I found the student life more relatable than what is shown in the Western teen shows.

I watched 36 episodes of this series in just 2 days and this series is awesome means I donot Express my feelings what I felt after watching this drama.
