College student Shi has a terminal illness. There are experiences she knows she’ll probably never have, like falling in love. So when an old high school crush named Gong suddenly resurfaces, she is surprised and swept away by his interest in her. Because side effects of her medication cause Shi to suffer short-term memory loss, she recounts everything onto cassette tape to remember the details of their precious time together. But Shi doesn't know that her mother, wishing to give her a chance to experience romance before it's too late, actually hired Gong to pursue her. -- EDKO

  This is a fascinating movie. I am surprised I am the first person to add it to my drama list. At first the movie started off a bit cheesy and I even thought about quiting it, but I am glad I didin`t, because after about 30 minutes the viewers see the other side of First Time. I loved how it managed to be both heartwarming and dramatic. Normally, movies about sick people are depressing to watch and it takes a lot of time for me to force myself to watch them. However, First Time is quite unique, because even though it is about a sick person, it does not revolve around a hospital. Also, it was very colorful, the decoration crew did an awesome job. The only complaint I have about this movie is that the main heroine`s fantasies were painted in almost-chibis. I don`t think these drawings suited the movie.
  
  Acting was very good. I especially enjoyed the main couple`s and Jiang Shan`s (Shiqiao`s mother)performance in this movie.
  
  I loved the soundtrack, most of the songs were created for this movie. I especially loved the ending song, too bad I can`t find it for download yet :(.
  
  Overall, this was a very enjoyable movie. I`m glad I decided to watch it. read more

  Really great drama that touches your heart. Some part was like heartbreaking and some part was just very touching and some part just made you squeal at their cuteness.
  There is like 2 sides of the story, and you first see side A of the story where everything is all fairy tale like, and everything is all like a scene out of a fairytale picture book. All the scene was very romantic and it seems exactly like a picture out of those romantic couple pictures.
  Then there is the other side of the story, which is side B in the later half on the story that tells the background of the story and the truth of the story and how all that fairy tale was all planned in the begining and it just breaks your heart. But this later part explain the whole story and you get sad becasue both sides of the story is really sad, and the more sad part is the ending becasue the girl is gone, and although everyone is sad but everyone lives change becasue of that, and they are all left with beaurtiful memories though it really is suuch a shame how they could not be togehter, and that he later realize that what he felt for her was not just a game but acutally real love
  The music sung in the movie was all really great and it went well with the drama and the guy sang really good and all the time the guy sang for her it made me went crazy at how loveable and cute it was.
  All the acting was really great and the acting felt really true, it was not like bad acting like you see in some dramas these days but it was geninue acting that touches your heart and can make you feel emotional over the drama
  If you have a lot of time and looking for a great movie or a great chick film this is the movie for you because it is a beautiful love story that may have been a game in the begining but later turns into real love. read more
