Going back to the old school days with a somewhat sweet romance. The movie is cute, a teen romance. Nothing new, nothing special, good to see, good to forget ...
A film with no pros and cons above average, Tan Song Yun and Luo Leo did a great performance and presentation, I just did not like the "aggression" of the boy, pussy, first girlfriend, barely know the girl and want to rush and deepen the relationship , Calm down, have to be slow to your time, rushing things is always bad business.

First Love

My take on this story is this is a very possible teenage love and reactions. How you can be influenced by your circumstances and the company you keep, when her friend tells her of her relations, even though she was shocked initially, later she also feels its alright and what started as an infatuation turns into an obsessive passionate love, which she finds difficult to control. At one time when the boy tells her you are missing you classes and studies, she feels he is fed up and don't want to be with her and reaction was lets break up. He is also very young to make her understand to be more responsible about their studies etc.. These are typical teenage reactions, where your emotions can be uncontrollable and reasoning seldom works. I think this is really worth watching. The way each person takes life, ML, FL, their friends. It kept me thinking for a long time.. Life and people's reactions always fascinated me.

It was a pleasure watching Seven Tan and Leo Yunxi, both amazing actors, both looks so young, seriously looks like they are in school. Acting skill and emotional expressions are too good.

Lovesickness At Its Finest.

I began this as a filler to watch Luo Yunxi in a normal piece of entertainment where he isn't spitting blood or in pain. And holy... I will not recommend this movie to anyone. Perhaps its directed particularly to a certain audience who have actually gone through such emotional turmoil, but unfortunately, I do not fall into that category.

Fang Fang, who has always had a long crush on her childhood friend Guo Yang, decides to pursue him regardless of what awaits. She gets a whole makeover after her Gaokao and finally gets together with him... Only to discover that she had grown excessively obsessed about him.

Boy... the girl Fang Fang was downright scary. The whole movie is told from her point of view, which slightly made me sympathize with her actions, but as a whole, she suffered from such a severe case of lovesickness that it made me glad that I had never been in love. Even the breakdowns in their relationship were never "real", but more due to the female lead's inability to communicate and her wild expectations.
Guo Yang was the regular popular music guy who liked her, but he was also someone who liked to put peoples' priorities over himself and genuinely enjoyed spending time with his friends. We don't see almost anything from his point of view, so I can't speak much about his character.

The lead actors were excellent, though. Well... they managed to give the "kids" vibes really well.
Music was almost non-existent, except for Guo Yang singing and a few mellow piano tunes sprinkled here and there. But, it fits the lonely theme of the story.

On a side note, I was surprised by some of the "Not for Children" scenes. Did not expect to see that in a Chinese Movie.

Overall, a skippable watch.

Ending is unclear

The leads were my favorite, which is why I decided to watch the drama. However, since I watched it in 2024, I found it a bit dull. Nonetheless, the story was intriguing. It revolved around a girl who wholeheartedly trusted a boy, and he reciprocated that trust. She considered him her everything, but he also prioritized his friends and interests, causing a rift in their relationship and leading to their breakup. However, the storyline became unclear afterward. It depicted a scene where after two years since their break up he called her to meet , but their meeting scene was brief, with no dialogue exchanged. Instead, it shifted to past scenes, leaving the ending ambiguous. Consequently, I felt like I wasted my time.

Primeiro amor

Se tem alguma coisa que é universal e quebra barreiras temporais e culturais é o amor e como ele acontece na vida de cada um. Um enredo sobre apaixonar-se pela primeira vez e toda a avalanche de sentimentos que vai se desdobrando a medida que crescemos e amadurecemos com as experiências de vida. O filme é bem agridoce e tem um leve tom saudosista.
Os protagonistas Seven Tan e Leo Luo fizeram um trabalho competente na interpretação dos seus personagens. Acho que é o único longa do Luo. Espero que um dia eles colaborem novamente numa série ou filme pois trabalharam muito bem nesse filme.
