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.

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!

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!

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 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!
