A Hard to Find Gem

I had to really search for this show and finally found it on Tubi TV under the title "My First Time." It's a short series, only 8 episodes, that was later remade as "My First First Love" in 2019.

I wanted to see this show because it stars a couple of young actors who have subsequently become famous since this series played in 2015: Choi Min-ho (whom I loved in Hwarang), Park So-dam (Parasite, Record of Youth, Cinderella & Four Knights), Kim Min-jae (Guardian, Hit the Top, Dr, Romantic series), and Im Yoon-ah.

I loved how the backstory of each character was told throughout the series. The great question was "which guy will the female lead choose?" I won't give away the answer but I admired her for sticking with the guy she initially liked and did not waver.

The story, soundtrack, and acting were great!

Easy watch

This is a great show to watch if you don't want to get totally invested in the characters. It's very simply told, a little unnatural at times, but still watchable. I watched this because I have seen other works of the actors and have enjoyed them.

Granted, this is from 2015 and they've all grown as actors. I thought that Choi Min Ho smiled too often, and at inappropriate times. Kim Min Jae - love him. Park So Dam - I've always loved her voice. The characters she plays seem to be the same, of the shows that I've seen her in.

The storyline was pretty simple. It's about first love, opportunities given, and opportunities missed. I did like the importance of friendships between the characters. I really liked the ending; it demonstrated their bonds of friendships in a sweet way.

Plus, I LOVED the cameos of Yoon Hyun Min and Jung Kyung Ho!!! I wished that scene lasted a lot longer.

"Because It's the First Time" is such a bittersweet drama!! I've been slowly sinking into a drama slump these past few weeks, but this show pulled me out of it. The plot and characters are very realistic. I became so attached to the characters, and now I want to cry now that I've finished this drama!! :'(

I absolutely loved the character development and the friendship that the five characters shared together <3. I fell in love so hard with Choi Min Ho's character! He was so dreamy and adorable, and I could not take my eyes off him! The ending was very open-ended and led to possibilities of a second season, which I hope will happen soon! I thought that the ending was very abrupt, but at least the show was given a realistic end. In reality, we don't always get a definite happy ending.

I'm so glad that I chose to watch this show over break! I highly recommend it. Overall, five stars :D

Because It’s the First Time (2015) - one of the good Minho dramas that I've watched. To how much funny it is at the start, the ending parts was painful. This drama is soooo good in terms of how they face each of their problems at that certain age. It has that relatable factor to it, that is why it is a cute but sad Korean drama for me. Never expected Park So Dam to pull off the character so well, I did really like her after watching this. Minho did well in the drama, and I have seen his improvement. Pulled off his character as well. He suits the role.

it IS good

It's a bit of slice of life and a bit of romantic comedy. For me, it wasn't boring, like what some might say, but, rather, simply did not overdramatize. The issues are shown as they are and it was exactly just as needed to connect me with the characters and what they're going through. It was emotional in a way that does not necessitate getting carried away. Oh, and the music. The music did what it had to.

Personally disappointed that there's no sequel when the ending made it feel like there was supposed to be one, especially when the remake just isn't doing it for me.

❄️Holi, ¿Cómo están?❄️ Hoy les traigo la reseña de la versión original de My First First Love: Because It's The First Time.

?Seguimos la historia de Tae Oh, Song Yi, Seo Ji Ah, Choi Hoon y Oh Ga Rin, cinco amigos en sus veintes que se conocen desde la infancia. Por azares del destino, Song Yi termina viviendo en la casa de Tae Oh, pero ¿qué tan bien pueden salir las cosas en un grupo de amigos cuando empiezan a surgir otros sentimientos?

?Antes que nada quiero decirles que, para mí, esta versión es superior (en muchos aspectos) al remake de Netflix.

?Primero, el grupo de amigos se conoce desde siempre y eso le da una dinámica totalmente distinta a los personajes. Además posta que todos tienen un nivel de química que vuelve imposible no creerles que se conocen desde siempre y que son los mejores amigos del mundo. Una maravilla lo queribles que son todos y lo bien construidos que están para lo cortita que es la serie. Eso sí, el protagonista principal es insoportable, tiene actitudes de niño de cinco años y a veces dan ganas de pegarle (perdón Choi Min Ho, yo te amo, pero parece que no lo suficiente), aunque a apesar de eso tiene algunas actitudes rescatables, como el hecho de que nunca le tira mierda a su rival.

??Otra cosa que me gustó es que no necesitaron hacer que un personaje "la cague" para justificar ciertas acciones o ciertos cambios de sentimientos, los procesos son todos internos y no tienen nada que ver con lo que hacen los demás (¿Podemos amar a "Miranda Kerr"? ¡Sí, podemos!).

?La relación principal también es muy bella y me gustó muchísimo cómo se resolvió el triángulo amoroso. Posta que me dio muchísima ternura todo lo relacionado a la pareja principal.

?Igual, como todo, tiene algunas cositas que no me terminaron de cerrar. El problema de Ga Rin, por ejemplo, se soluciona de un momento a otro (y muy rápido para el tipo de problema que era).

✨En fin, si quieren ver algo cortito, con un grupo de amigos súper bonito y querible, no se pierdan este hermoso kdrama del 2015 protagonizado por Choi Min Ho, Park So Dam y Kim Min Jae.
