    I highly recommend this Japanese Drama Series!

    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!

    We Never Know What Tomorrow is going to bring us.

    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.

    It's not a Japanese drama of pure love!

    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.

    A beautiful and emotional romance

    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.

    Perfection! An amazing first 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!

    • Trivia
      Throughout the series, the story of First Love parallels to many of Hikaru Utada's song lyrics and titles. "Distance" and "Letters" (both released around 2001) parallel with their lyrics and titles to when Yae gets into a car accident, losing her memories, and Yae and Harumichi end up separating. Harumichi attempts to give Yae letters, but her mom hides them from him, thus mirroring the two mentioned songs.
