Featured reviews
I have to say this series is one of the best Netflix ever aired especially if you're into love and Asian drama. It's written beautifully and pictured in simplicity with artistically picture and warm tones. The series not that long but the story getting more interesting and interesting in every episode. Onion ninja almost got me in the 2 last episodes and I strongly suggest you to watch it! Though the series going back forth between timeline but it all beautifully connected. The background OST is also amazing. One of the best Asian hits in 2000's by Utada Hikaru. I really surprised that main character is French descendant. She is really pretty. You're always gonna be the one best J-Drama in my life ever!
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!

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.

Great story with great song, great actor and I love the way how the director connect all different timeline by years and present the past to the audience.
I have been growing up with this famous classic Japanese song from Utada Hikaru and I am so happy that they create this art-piece based on the story of the songs, and i believe that it would be great before watching it.
I think the young actor and actress also did very well which my memory of first love also flashback during watching it. Love the last two sections which may me cry.
Thank you Netflix for producing such amazing series to me!

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.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThroughout 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.
