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!

I have to say this series is one of the best Netflix ever aired especially if you're into love and Asian drama. It's written beautifully and pictured in simplicity with artistically picture and warm tones. The series not that long but the story getting more interesting and interesting in every episode. Onion ninja almost got me in the 2 last episodes and I strongly suggest you to watch it! Though the series going back forth between timeline but it all beautifully connected. The background OST is also amazing. One of the best Asian hits in 2000's by Utada Hikaru. I really surprised that main character is French descendant. She is really pretty. You're always gonna be the one best J-Drama in my life ever!

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 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.
