Foundational Romance Tropes: mistaken identity, love triangle, secret crush, friends to lovers, ace/demi repThere’s something about this show that pushes absurdity to its cartoon limit but stays genuine to the high first love school experience. Kieta Hatsukoi ended up being kind of Cherry Magic + Light On Me X Make it Right with good pacing and so many unexpected twists in angst and miscommunication that despite it being classic live action yaoi it felt fresh and new to the BL world, also a touch frustrating. Clearly Japan is back to reminding us WE STARTED IT ALL, SUCKERS!
Aoki is the drama queen to end all drama queens, the meme fairy to end all meme fairies. While Ida is ace spectrum demigod rock we all leaned on to survive Aoki’s madness. And they’re surrounded by truly awesome friends (a hallmark of, and my favorite thing about, high school BL). All the characters were so endearingly awkward, earnestly sweet, and desperate to do the right thing and not hurt each other that the show became utterly lovable while still being teenage angst incarnate. Japan can get pretty over-expressive and childish in their yaoi adaptations and this is no exception - Aoki is SUCH A SPAZ, the biggest chaos-baby drama-llama to ever bizilla his way through a BL. SO EXTRA. I suffered quite a bit of second hand embarrassment that was, occasionally, too much for me. Maybe because Ida is so obviously demi, I could see all along it would just take him more time, it’s annoying that Aoki couldn’t and made no effort to understand Ida. So while I very much enjoyed this BL, it kinda lost me to frustration at the end, even as the final episode left me smiling. I think these aspects will work against it for me in rewatch potential, which is one of my main ways I rate BLs, so... hence my 8/10.
But i honestly think most BL fans will like it more than that.

Warm, cute, and sincere, this tale has a great message for LGBTQ+ Youth wrapped in a BL coating.
Here on MDL I have come to find certain terms thrown around with WILD abandon. One phrase "Light and Fluffy" is maybe used more than almost all others collectively. Unfortunately most of the programs given this badge, do not deserve it. So many shows have their comment boards decorated with these adjectives but then upon viewing, you come to find storylines of suicide, misogyny, violence, crime, death, loss, betrayal, on and on it goes. Sometimes it is even all of the above, cough "Dali and the Cocky Prince," cough. But because there are a handful of cute scenes, or funny moments, the entire show is labeled "Light and Fluffy," when it clearly is not.Kieta Hatsukoi however, is the exact definition of what is meant when a show has the right to be deemed "Light and Fluffy." There is hardly a moment that isn't written to bring warmth to the viewer. There are not convoluted over-the-top overly dramatic plotlines. There are not vile evil characters working to destroy the leads. There aren't toxic people acting against the story. Everything here is made sweet, endearing, funny, joyful, and above all easily digestible.
For the most part, this works wonders, and created a Saturday viewing pleasure that was an easy break from the more soapy and overwrought tales found almost everywhere else. KH is in itself, an antidote to the humdrum world, the covid plagued reality, depressing news cycles, and heartbreak that makes current day reality. It is the purest of ventures in the art of escapism.
Our leads Aoki (Played adorably by Michieda Shunsuke) and Ida (delivered silent and sexy by Meguro Ren) are both winning in their juxtaposed personalities. Aoki is geeky, insecure, dramatic, and in-touch with every emotion that runs through him. Ida is contemplative, popular, sporty, and lost inside his stoic world not understanding a single feeling that is awakening in him. As the two comicly fumble their way through finding possible romance with each other, the viewer get to delight themselves with cute gags, silly interactions, and heartfelt moments of self realization.
Helping our leads along is a straight side couple Hashimoto and Aida. This possible couple seems to be a heterosexual version of our male leads. To a certain extent they face the exact same obstacles as our male male story. Fukumoto Riko as Hashimoto is cute as a button and a perfect ally and friend to our Aoki. Suzuki Jin as Aida is playful and cocky, while remaining kind and sincere.
The choice to have the "homosexual" storyline followed almost exactly by the supporting "heterosexual" couple seems to be an attempt for the story to normalize what is happening as much as possible. To show viewers, hey, see, these boys really aren't that different than anyone else. Look at how they face the same issues as the guy and girl. This was welcomed, and also effective, as you will enjoy this side couple just as much as our main male leads.
Now, you might ask, MJ but you are giving it an 8 but only saying great things about it. Trust me, an 8 on my scale is a very solid score. While, I do have mostly only positive things to say here, the show isn't perfect. There are some acting choices along the way that I didn't enjoy. There is a feeling of some filler episodes and spinning in place plot repetitiveness, though still HIGHLY enjoyable to watch, shows that the story could have had some stronger plotting and pacing as it is only 10 30-minute episodes. The story itself is also very simplistic. It works, so this isn't really a drawback per say, but it does keep me from awarding it a higher score since it keeps itself always in easy-town, not matter how fun it is being there.
In the end this tale is winning and wonderful. It closes with a great message for everyone involved on how love can blossom if you allow it, how being open can breed happiness, and how living truthfully can bring companionship. "We don't have to be like everyone else." our leads tell each other. No truer words have been spoken no matter if they come from a "Light and Fluffy" tale. I just hope the audience watching is also listening.
8.0 = B+, 4-Stars. A solid all around entry that will likely not disappoint.
May we all have a day of such beautiful illumination!

A Great Series that Left Me Feeling Empty
This is unquestionably a great series. The acting is superb. The story is good. The humor is spot-on. At times it is even hysterical. Both the gay and straight relationship developments were entertaining. BUT, I felt nothing for the gay characters. I wanted to but the story got so much into developing a story that they forgot what the story was about. It was supposed to be about love and connection. I felt it missed the mark on both counts. I so wanted to love this series but for me, it never got there. That does not take away from its brilliance. I just did not feel it even though I desperately wanted to. Something seemed missing to me. A spark? A deeper connection? Even some sexual tension. There just was none of that.If yo want to read my full review go to BLBliss.com

SEROTONIN BOOSTER❤️
Kiekoi is the single most adorable fluffy emotional beautiful ride of a series I have ever had..Never have I in my 26 years of life been this excited giggling and happy because of a seriesThe entire show screams positive vibes..I have never seen such an accepting tolerant loving bunch of people in my life..the way the show and each individual in the show handled a delicacy topic like homosexuality in this conflicting time that we are living in most heartwarming and precious.
Aoki is such a bliss.He was never hesitant to root for the happiness of his first love or in accepting his feelings for Ida..he never imposed his feelings for Ida which is evident when he said it is weird to go out with him if Ida does not have feelings for him( ep 7)
Ida ( swoon)has become my ideal type?..he is not perfeCt but he is the perfect boyfriend..the way he always puts Aoki first and asks what he wants?the way he didn't outrightly reject Aoki even though he was shocked..hi is super kind hearted stands up to protect and comfort aoki?he is the kind of tsundere i would love to meet??
Hashimoto is the definition of a strong female character and not the steroetopical girl villian in most bl series . The value Aida gives towards his friendships and his unconditional support to Aoki is admirable..Both of themare solid support leads..
Taniguchi sensei is the impersonation of what a teacher really should be ? Ida's friends are pure gold?
I hope more people watches this series with an open mind because it is silly fluffy show and everybody deserves such fluff in their lives with al the crap that we are going through theses days.. sincerely thanking each and everyone that made the series happen and hoping praying and manifesting a seaon 2 because I would love to see how their relationship progresses❤️
If you are thinking whether to watch or not don't think so much and just go watch it
This is me signing of

I LOVE THE DRAMA AND THE MANGA
I absolutely loved this drama, the moment I heard that Kieta Hatsukoi was getting a live adaptation I knew I had to watch it. I recommend everyone to watch this drama AND to read the manga. The casting was PERFECTION, each character's personality was perfectly resembled by each actor. The actors have caused me to fall in love with this story once again!Another thing I love is how the two lead actors are both part of J-pop groups, and their groups sung the intro/outro for the drama. (Michieda Shunsuke is part of the group Naniwa Danshi and Meguro Ren is part of the group Snow Man). I just thought that was so cute! I will for sure follow each of their group activities. Sad to see that it has ended but it's definitely become one of my favorites. Watch it or you'll be missing out!

Do Boys Like Their Girls, Do Girls Like Their Boys , Or Do Boys Like Their Boys?
Based upon the manga ‘My Love Mix-Up!’ (消えた初恋) and adapted onto the small screen by screenwriter Kuroiwa Tsutomu and directors Kusano Shogo and Horai Tadaaki, ‘ Kieta Hatsukoi’ will likely put off a lot of mainstream drama watchers by its bizarre setup and seeming cataclysmic conglomeration of outdated cliches and tropes.
The premise revolved around high schooler and main male lead Aoki Sota ( Michieda Shunsuke) ‘s initial crush on supporting character and female lead Hashimoto Mio ( Fukumoto Rio). Mio gives him her rubber during an exam and Aoki is left to believe that Hashimoto has a crush on popular classmate Ida Kousuke ( Meguro Ren). When Sota drops the rubber by accident Kousuke picks it up and misunderstands that Aoki has a crush on him instead . Aoki decides to protect Hashimoto’s feelings by pretending that the rubber was his, yet rather than Kousuke deriding Aoki after rejecting him ( as Aoki expected), he finds himself in a sticky situation when Kousuke wants to “ get to know” Aoki more personally. However Aoki soon finds himself developing real feelings for Kousuke as they begin to spend more together.
Against the fear of the drama being a parody of itself ‘ Kieta Hatsukoi’ surprisingly does not reimburse the typical tropes and writing cliches in predictable ways. Diverged screenwriting takes on classic tropes will likely surprise viewers by sudden “ predictable screenwriting decisions” being changed by the decisions of characters and the route towards the developed relationships onscreen.
From an acting perspective ‘ Kieta Hatsukoi’ is fairly solid. There are admittedly some line deliverances throughout the drama which felt a little enforced or poorly delivered, but overall our main cast did help to present a charisma for their onscreen personas.
Michieda Shunsuke helped to present a sense of awkward charm as his onscreen persona Aoki Sota; a laidback high schooler, who finds himself involved in an awkward position. As a main character Sota has his strengths and weaknesses; authentically he’s your typical “ awkward teen”- misunderstanding scenarios and hates getting into awkward social situations whilst having only one truly close friend through “ Akkun” ( Suzuki Jin). On the other hand one of the biggest problems at times with Sota’s character drive was that whilst we were supposed to understand his “ conflicting” feelings for Kousuke, there never really felt like they were moments where we were able to see thus transcend gradually onscreen.
To explain this further and without major spoilers one of the greatest character-drives for Aoki surrounds his initial feelings for Hashimoto before seemingly falling for Kousuke despite their “misunderstandings”. Whilst it isn’t out of the question for individuals to be ineffably attracted to someone, it seemed odd that as viewers, we never truly reached a more emotive epiphany in the series for Aoki’s feelings for Kousuke being explored in more depth. Additionally there’s the issue surrounding Aoki truly feeling like an actual “ teenager” in the series aside from sometimes being shoehorned into the cliche of the “ whiny teen”; we rarely get to understand more about Sota’s background and family and whilst we are presented with a little indication into his fairly casual-bickering relationship with his mother in episode 2 ( the voice belonging to actress Mitsuishi Kotono) , we didn’t have a lot of opportunities to explore or understand more about Sota’s family dynamic.
Of course this isn’t to critique Aoki’s character entirely. Whilst some of his flaws felt more enforced than others ( not least of all often being the root-cause of conflict between his potential chemistry with Kousuke), Aoki coming to terms with his feelings for his classmate was surprisingly sweet as well as his friendship with his former-crush Hashimoto. Upon the former character mentioned Hashimoto and Aoki’s friendship surprisingly did not play on overt stereotypes or cliches- Hashimoto did not hold “ contempt” for Aoki , just as the male lead did not hold a grudge against his former-crush either. Admittedly whilst it’s understandable that the series didn’t want to draw-out Aoki’s initial “ feelings” for Hashimoto, it often felt as though the topic was swept under the carpet for a major proportion of the seriesm rather than being used as a plot-drive to present a greater growth between the friendship of Aoki and Hashimoto.
This naturally brings us onto the main love interest of the series and main lead Ida Kousuke. Played with a stern yet laidback charm by Meguro Ren, Ida Kousuke is the archetypical “ all-round-ace ” student. He’s a popular classmate, academically smart and sporty. Initially this leads Aoki to believing that he is Hashimoto’s crush and seemingly his “rival in love”. Kousuke is admittedly shoehorned for a major proportion of the series as the “ polar opposite” of Aoki; rarely flustered, sociable and suave. Aside from Aoki’s seeming initial misconceptions of Kousuke being slightly aloof, Kousuke proves himself to be a genuinely good person both within his brief yet insightful relationship with his mother ( Matsushita Yuki) in episode 3, as well as his childhood friend Todoya Shun ( Mochizuki Ayumu).
However admittedly where Kousuke often felt as though he could’ve been explored in more depth revolved around his seeming “ hero’s complex”. It’s revealed that Kousuke’s initial inability to say “ no” to others made him struggle with turning down Aoki’s feelings. However consequently Kousuke often struggled with elements of understanding Aoki’s anxiety or stress in different scenarios which naturally could put a rut in their onscreen relationship. Whilst this personality trait was briefly explored near the ending of the series it felt as though it could’ve allowed more opportunities to see symbiotic and mutual growth for both main leads; Aoki struggling to grasp his feelings for Kousuke, and Kousuke finding himself attracted by Aoki’s kindhearted actions. The relationship between both characters admittedly is drawn upon “ misunderstandings” and “ plot tension”, but the ending helped to present a heartwarming outcome for both our main leads.
The main side characters of the series are Hashimoto and Akkun; both of whom provide themselves to be good friends in need to Aoki. Whilst no major spoilers will be given towards the direction taken with both characters their arcs and development time admittedly did give way to some underdevelopment by the ending of the series, whilst whilst sweet, lacked a satiable build.
As a consequence of the diverged attention between only two plot lines in particular ; our main characters and then the subplot, the series would often fall into a staid and cyclical pattern of rarely diverging in episode formula; a new “ obstacle / climactic conflict” to “ get in the way of the main leads”, and then suddenly a “ quickly thrown-in solution ” to “ resolve” matters. Admittedly it isn’t entirely uncommon for dramas to fall into a status quo episode structure the series rarely used opportunities to explore a more dynamic buildup. This led to some episodes’ pacing ( especially by the latter-half of the series) often feeling anticlimactic and lacking sound-resolve.
The cinematography of the series is admittedly basic at best- whilst minimalistic shots did arguably help to capture the simplicity of Aoki and Kousuke’s overt onscreen relationship against warmer palettes and shades adding a romantic tone, it felt as though the series could’ve facilitated camera angles more towards conveying the characters’ emotions openly or invoke pathos through the captured scenery of the series. Certain tracks of the OST were admittedly a little generic in between scenes but during more emotive scenes the lack of lyrics and emphasis on instruments, did help to convey the characters’ feelings during certain some of these moments onscreen.
Overall ‘ Kieta Hatsukoi’ was a heartwarming and sweet drama. The second-half up until the finale was admittedly on a slight downwards slope in comparison to the first-half with certain writing elements and characters failing to meet dynamic buildup. However it’s undeniable that decent acting by our main cast as well as an intriguing main couple helped to present a charismatic charm towards our main leads which for those looking for a fairly sweet and heartwarming romance storyline, then ‘ Kieta Hatsukoi’ is perfect for lighting up your mood.

Started for the romance, stayed for the friendship.
When I start any BL, I am in for romance. I am not expecting an amazing plot, complex characters and any meaningful, well built relations between all the characters. So imagine my surprise, when half way through the show, I cared more about all the friendships, than the main romance.Does it mean the romance was bad? No. For me, it was just really basic. It got me with “aww, that’s cute” a few times, but overall, I was not that invested. Maybe because there were no real stakes, and all the problems and conflicts were similar to each other, but I barely felt anything.
On the other hand, I adored every scene between Aoki and Hashimoto. I wish the focus of the show was on them building their friendship that started from a misunderstanding, and the romance was more of a side plot. Watching them support each other was delightful. That duo is probably the best thing that happened in BLs in a long time.
I even cared more about Hashimoto and Aida more than the main couple, thanks to Hashimoto’s bubbly, but also brave personality, which made their scenes that much more interesting.
The cast did an amazing job portraying the characters. Michieda Shunsuke aced the over the top, but still somehow realistic reactions Aoki had. Meguro Ren portrayed the gradual change in Ida’s feelings, and initial unsureness in an excellent manner. Fukumoto Riko made Hashimoto the fun real life version of “looks like cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll, but could still kill you” character and Suzuki Jin made Aida fun, even if at times frustrating character to watch.
Overall, it was a fun watch. I do believe it would be more entertaining as a binge watch type of deal, since it did not have the plot that made me anticipate each new episode every week. It’s just a fun, cute high school romance that will make you feel happy, but might not amaze you.

Cute and fluffy
This is my first Japanese drama, as well as my first BL drama, so I had no idea what to expect.I'll be honest. If it wasn't for the exceptional reviews and a pretty high ranking, I wouldn't have watched this. The plot didn't interest me nor did I watch for an actor/actress that I like. ('Cause of course, my first JP drama.) The story is cute but after the camping trip, there wasn't really anything that I looked forward to watching.
The main characters were fine, but I never truly "loved" any of them. I usually love the supporting and guest characters, but in this drama they all just annoyed me.
I thought the acting was pretty good. Aoki (Michieda Shunsuke) was the stand-out because he has great facial expressions. Meguro Ren, who plays Ida, also did a good job at acting as an aloof, but also a sympathetic person.
There are 2 OSTs in total.
➀ Snow Man - 'Secret Touch'
➁ Naniwa Danshi - 'First Love'
I loved that the two leads also sang the OSTs in their respective bands.
After watching this drama, I think I could be a future fan of BL. I need to watch more BLs to decide if that's the case though.
aight byeee~

Sweetness Abounds
"Kieta Hatsukoi" aka "Vanishing My First Love" is a wonderful series about going through the confusion, turmoil, fear, and scary joy of realizing that you're in love with someone and finding the courage to face those feelings head-on, in order to confess to that person. I love that the series doesn't forget about how important friendship is, to have people in your life, that will also support your journey down this path. I love the humor that this show has, in telling this funny, touching, and sweet romantic journey of Aoki, Ida, Akkun, and BFF Hashimoto.Was this review helpful to you?

Arigato! Ida and Aoki
The eraser and the misunderstanding. The supposed to be someone else love story turned into a cute mix-up! Pilot episode did a great job holding me till the end. Since EP01 until EP10, there’s no doubt that this drama make me feel extremely happy. I just keep smiling the whole time. One thing that I always do when I am enjoying what I am watching is to took several screenshots from it. My gallery will prove how fond I am from the show.IDA IS SUCH A NICE GUY –a rare gem to be exact. The way he handled Aoki and the eraser situation was something only kind-hearted people will do. He was shocked but he didn’t altered any harsh words to Aoki. He responded him with an utmost thinking of whether to accept Aoki’s confession or not. If only all guys acts like the way Ida acted towards Aoki’s love revalation, maybe people like Aoki may avoid a painful rejection from the guy he liked just because he is gay.
Ida-kun in a rolled white-school-long-sleeves with a loose necktie is so sizzling hot! With his kind personality and duality of either being a hottie or a cuttie, I therefore conclude that Ida is such a perfect boyfriend material.
Aoki on the other hand is the character I closely relate to. In the world where hetero relationship is labelled as “normal,” people who likes the same kind of gender tend to be really scared to even avoid speaking this kind of feeling to their friends. Some people can’t bring themselves to speak up and be honest with their sexuality to others, not even themselves. That is why I cried a lot when Aoki finally open up to his best friend, Akkun. It is really a blessing to have a friend that you can freely tell to them everything, even liking a person who have the same sex with you. I love how Aoki and Aida’s friendship was been told, supporting each other no matter who other person likes.
Aoki the cutest and the kindest. After their confession scene at the camping episode, every scenes were definitely a screaming-with-joy moments knowing that the two of them are real boyfriends now. Those beautiful smiles of Ida brought by Aoki’s action is absolutely the sweetest thing ever. His minimal laugh was sexy and appealing. I love him, we all love him, but most importantly, Aoki love him the most. On the episode where the appearance of a temporary new teacher –changing his attitude after knowing that Aoki is gay, make my blood boiled up. But thanks to this, we see that Ida is that gentle boyfriend who will protect you and let you be dependable to him because he doesn’t want you to be sad on something. Also, Aoki who will protect his lovelife and not letting other people say something bad about being in a homosexual relationship is the bravest thing to deal with homophobic person. I am glad that in the end, the teacher has been educate about this kind of relation.
From the special episode, aired before the release of the last two episodes, I am so happy to hear that Ida’s small and soft gesture of caressing Aoki’s hair from time to time has became a big topic in Japan. It trended and called as IDA-PON (Pon means touching or poking something.) Their first date was one of my favorite episode. I can feel how amazingly high their chemistry is with a consistent connection since the pilot episode. The highlight scene for me is when Ida is supposed to change his clothes on Aoki’s side, then Aoki were in panic because he’s too shy to see Ida’s angry abs. That was a funny clip for me, an exquisite one.
There’s only a few scenes where we see Ida being jealous and it was an adorable moments to see. Ida’s facial expression when he found out that Aoki has a little crush on Hashimoto before was the cutest! In spite of that, Hashimoto and Aoki became real besties now. This girl has a pure heart even after mistakenly knowing that Aoki has the same crush with her, she was so cheerful to accept her rival. I am also grateful that a person like Hashimoto exist in Aoki’s life owing to the fact that she’s a trustworthy and comfortable girl for Aoki to talked about his relationship with Ida, the same way Aoki help her with Aida. Hashimoto and Aida doesn’t have the best side couple story but both of them has been a great help to Aoki and Ida’s relationship; they’re truly a wonderful friends to have. Along with Ida’s volleyball friends who are kind too. I hope more and more people will be just like them, who is sincerely open on accepting homosexual relationship.
Ida and Aoki relationship has also some downfalls encountered. The misunderstanding or conflict thoughts were fix immediatle, proving that they have a healthy relationship.
The final episode is a real game over! When Ida say “I LOVE YOU” to Aoki, I hold my face so tight and cry in great silent. That was an insanely lovely scene, Ida finally giving Aoki a reassurance. The last scene is a happy ending indeed. Aoki borrowing Ida’s eraser and saw the text “Aoki (with a heart)” on his eraser bring me too many emotions. It all started with a eraser and ended up with another eraser, no misunderstaning, no mix-up, just being real with their feelings.
OST’s is as great as the drama. The fact that both Michieda Shunsuke and Meguro Ren was the one who sang Kieta Hatsukoi OSTs alongside with their respective groups are so cutely amazing. Snow Man’s Secret Touch and Ubu Love by Naniwa Danshi are the two songs that has been added to my favorite songs in my playlist. No doubt that it were one of the best Japanese song I’ve ever heard.
I never thought that after “Cherry Magic: Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You A Wizard,” there were another Japanese drama that I am been so attached to. Kieta Hatsukoi began its first episode on October 9, 2021, a year after Cherry Magic first episode well released as well. Destiny is really doing its job making this coincidence to happened. Both drama is an all perfect score for me! The OSTs, acting, visuals, chemistry, and everything about these two shows are a masterpiece. I am always so grateful for Japanese BL for having a Kurosawa and Ida as the perfect boyfriends ever existed in fiction and live-action, as well to their ever loving and caring cute boyfriends, Adachi and Aoki.
To those who read this review until my very last paragraphs, thank you so much for making time for me. I am just super happy to be able to wrote feedbacks from the show that made me feel so much happiness. Let us live our life always seeking for our happiness that we deserved. Ida and Aoki thought us that love is purely love regarding what kind of sexuality we have. I wish everyone the best in their life! Arigato!
