A Little Thing Called First Love (2019)

Light, fluffy and forgettable. I mildly enjoyed it while I watched it, but the story and characters won’t be staying with me and I don’t need to watch it again.

The story and characters are simple and the first half is childhood and the later half gets to the romance.

The secondary characters are pretty good with a special shout out to the teacher romance which is unusually amusing.

The product placement is so obvious and written into the story, viewers may think that sunscreen is the best gift you can give a friend. Yikes.

Also the hair stylist likes helmet hair and it’s so stiff and shiny that it looks almost like everyone’s hair has locks of grey. So odd.

I just finished “A little thing called first love” and I really enjoyed this drama. All the characters were awesome.

First, the female lead improves by the time from a teenager to a young adult. From having braces, to start using makeup, creams and trying to find her own style as we all do during this period. It was not the makeover that we can usually see on dramas. It is really well done.

Then, the male lead is not pushing down the female lead and that is refreshing. For once, the ML is quite the opposite.

Finally, the female lead is really smart from the beginning. I mean she is still a teenager, but she is not naive or so. She knows what she wants and she can say no when it is needed.

To conclude, it was a really great drama, quite realistic. And I loved the FL little sister!

Now, I'm such a huge sucker for cute romances like this one, but if you are looking to have a good sob, you will only tear up a little bit.
This story is so beautiful and innocent, I love it. This drama has 100% introduced me to a different variation of how love is. After finishing this it had me thinking about experiences I've had with love and it has possibly influenced how I will handle my future relationships.
I love how Miaomiao changed for the better to be with Younian. It's so pure and I love it.
As a romance enthusiast, I recommend watching this. It's worth it!

JUST A LITTLE BEAUTIFUL STORY!

This is one of my fav cdramas i have watched. It was fun, lovely, cute, nice and wonderful. I dont usually write reviews but this was soooo wonderful i had to write an review. The FL fell for the ML and started to change herself to a wonderful person. As a person who doesnt believe it the highly coincidental world where both the leads find themselves in embarrassing situations or meet everywhere and god knows clear misunderstandings like a everyday, this drama clearly shows love doesnt come to you unless u take a step forward on your own.
The FL who is not talented and lost hope when she did bad and was shy suddenly found herself changing to be a person worthy of her crush. She not only becomes beautiful but also with her hard work and determination because a talented person. Ppl fear a lot of things but this drama clearly put fear in front and overtook it. The ML was outstanding and an ace like any other lead but unlike other dramas where the FL fell for a bad boy, this time fell for a kind and nice person. The ML was not cocky, rude and full of himself. Idk why they always make bad boys the girls type but this drama clearly broke that rule. And ofc, if there is a nice male lead, there is always a bad boy 2nd lead. This drama gave a happy ending for both the 2nd leads falling together. Even the teachers falling in love together showing love got no age.
Even though this drama is different for other dramas it is somewhat similar too. But this drama had no coindence expect the fact that FL lived near the ML and befriended the 2nd leads who were already related to the ML. and finding a lighthouse used by the ML.
This drama also showed me that love isnt something you need to be afraid of and can change you all together to a better person. As far as i see it, this drama gives hope and shows ppl love can change. For all the unrequited love ppl out there this is a drama for them but those single ppl like me too can see and melt their hearts. I would recommend this drama to anyone starting to see cdramas.

Spoilers ahead

If you get pass the acting, this is an overall worth the watch yes the lead actor is a bit stoic and yes delete this may seem a bit over the top with her rush acting but this is what having an overwhelming crush is about you don't get to know how you up or know how you treat them. The story seems overall good. Thats how you would probaly reaaly act in your first love. The character improvement is good too. Every first is overwhelming and considering that supposedly this is their first love, this is justifiable. I love how the lead actor is seeing her worth and know that they probably dont see it themselves due to the influence they hav on the other hut i also like how they can be firm like miao2. No one else can stand up to i fluence first hand but she tried even though it was probably wrong. The acting does seem cringy at first but no one here really know how to act when infront of their love one especially the first one. The second lead does seem to be rushed (ehem hexinxkaitou) but it kinda redeemed itself in a way. I liked how they try to include kos of the actors story line too except for xia (lead's initiat bestfriend). Overall worth the watch. The story line seems slow to kdrama viewers since they are used to 10-16 ep timeline but it was very bearable. There are times for face palming due to timidness of the female leadbut thats understandable in a realistic point. She got no basis how to act around an overflowing emotion. The lead actor acting is a bit bland but was okay plus it was kinda worth it as how knowing your emotions as you go through an intense love is kinda clueless and tbh most guys ARE clueless. Defenitely recommendable. Besides the chemistry was good you almost wished they kinda developed outside of the projec.. I know i did.

This is an most ordinary and predictable story but the cast is outstanding . Main leads with Cuteness overloaded and it will take some more time to forget the smile of the ML. There are some loop holes and outstanding questions on why the Main leads father remarried within a next year after his wife passed way and the female lead's sister never grew up while the leads completed their school and graduation.

Liang You Nian made me cry in the last episode and the ending is perfect. Xia Miao Miao was saying Thank you in many episodes constantly and calling Senior until the last episode :)

Imagine my surprise when I found out that this drama is a Chinese remake of the popular Thai movie that swept internationally by storm. I thought at first when I discovered this drama it was just the same title but I was wrong. I have nothing much to say about the story of this drama since I'm familiar with the original movie but I want to acknowledge the fact that they got all the scenes down to a T. All the scenes in the movie has been reimagined as a drama and I'm pretty satisfied with it. When it comes with the chemistry, I think they also had chemistry. The difference that I see though with the original movie and this remake is that the male lead had more opportunity to state his emotions towards the female lead. Nevertheless, I enjoyed both so this could also be something you can watch in between shows

very poor script

The contrived misunderstandings between characters were painful to watch. The Lin Kai Tuo character had no apparent redeeming qualities and nobody ever confronted him on what an insufferable jerk he was constantly being. The script writer seems to believe that stalking is the recommended dating style that most of the people should use. I couldn't finish the drama, even though I tried to muddle through the pain for several episodes in the hope that it might get better. After reading the comments about upcoming plot twists that I didn't get to, I'm extra glad I bailed out.

Very Slow

If you’re expecting anything faster than a snail’s pace, then this series is not for you. What started out interesting and full of hope has become bogged down like a tractor mired in mud!
Forty episodes! If the producers cut out all the slow and oft times unnecessary bits and got this story moving at a decent pace, it would be so much better and I’d be so much happier watching it!
Don’t get me wrong, it is not that I dislike the series, it is just that it moves so slowly and our leads don’t share a kiss until the 30th episode out of 40 and it wasn’t really a proper kiss either!
It is 2 minutes before the end of episode 30 and our ML has finally, finally kissed the FL - too bad it was like a 10 second fatherly peck on the cheek!

What is wrong with the Chinese that their so called “romance” series are so slow? This series would have been better had it had thirty episode.

The Chinese historical series are excellent and I love them so why can’t the Chinese series set in today’s world be as good?
