The Beauty of First Love

The premise is basic and cliché, centering around 'first love.'

What's so special about first love? According to ChatGPT, first love is often considered special due to its novelty and intensity, leaving a lasting emotional imprint and shaping one's perception of relationships. This formative experience, marked by idealism and innocence, evokes nostalgia and plays a significant role in personal growth. Cultural portrayals in literature and art further underscore its unique status, highlighting the unconditional and uncomplicated nature of first love. These combined factors contribute to its cherished and memorable place in many people's lives.

I always watch both Kim Soo Hyun's and Chae Jong Hyeop's projects, so I have to watch this one too!

This drama tells the story of the ML who has had a crush on the FL since high school for 10 years. From the flashbacks, it seems they knew each other back then, but something is missing. We'll see in the upcoming episodes why ML never revealed his feelings. Meanwhile, for FL, her first love is not ML. But we'll see, first love is special, but last love is more important, right? XD

For the first two episodes, here are my thoughts:
1) So far, the story is smooth without many unnecessary scenes.
2) Another loser was born. Hu Yeong just smiles every time he is with Hong Ju.
3) The chemistry between Kim Soo Hyun and Chae Jeong Hyeop is great. I can't wait until they officially become a couple.
4) It seems like ML is not just an admirer of FL; maybe there's something about his move to the USA. We'll have to wait and see.
5) As we know, FL's best friend also likes ML. I hope the writer doesn't create unnecessary conflict between FL and her best friend.

I really hope the story isn't just about a crush/admirer becoming an official couple but has more depth.
Let's keep watching episodes 3-8!
