I feel Jeong Ha Yeon deserves better
I felt first love again was an okay shows here’s why, it reminds me of UWMA (Until we meet again) which is also based on reincarnation, but it kinda was confusing at times with the many different time changes and mainly the first two out of six were about Yeon Seok’s past lives with Jeong Ha Yeon (female version) in which she dies before him in both two lives and on the third life is when he meets the male version of Jeong Ha Yeon in a restaurant because his fox (Sin Bi) told him that Ha Yeon would be there, but he was stunned that he was a man and suddenly didn’t like Ha Yeon anymore which I felt was weird then Yeon Seok was parked with Ha Yeon since he became someone who can help him figure out how to write his novel as a fan. So, at first he was very rude to Ha Yeon and then soon started to become nicer to the point he caught feelings for him. Until he saw Ha Yeon’s sister who is the female version of Ha Yeon so he started to become confused. One of Ha Yeons friend from America who is part of the baseball team is Jin Hyeok and he also has feelings for Ha Yeon and wanted to confess to him, but Yeon Seok already beat him to it. I do feel that Jin Hyeok should’ve ended up with Ha Yeon because they seemed to have so much chemistry in the 5 minutes they were together than with Yeon Seok, and he kind of hurt Ha Yeon for not telling him that he was his past lovers so he became confused on if he liked his sister or him. I know my review isn’t that good, but I feel it has its pros and cons. I do recommend this because of how cute Ha Yeon is.Was this review helpful to you?

Has all the highs and lows of korean BLs
I loved this?! Why, though? It's Kissable Lips all over again!!! Premise is very interesting and unique (for a BL), execution is lacking. Most of its weaknesses can be atributed to insufficient runtime.What I liked:
1. Pretty to look at, pretty sounding, emotionally devastating at times. Basically the same as most korean BLs I've ever watched (no shade intended (?), but I still can't comprehend how Ocean Likes Me can be korean drama)
2. Main actor (Jeon Chang Ha) was so beautiful I wanted to cry just looking at him 💜
3. The story wasn't overdramatically unbelievable despite the premise. This one sounds weird, but hear me out. I'm sure many of you know UWMA. And while the show has done a lot of things well, it was also too much whenever they tried to use the "fateful connection" device. Almost cringey. I couldn't even get emotional during most of those moments (and I was lowkey traumatized by the opening scene for weeks). So while this story uses the same "string of fate" idea, it does it in a way that's easier to believe and relate to.
4. Leads have refreshingly open conversations. I know there is still some miscommunication involved, but compared to many other BLs, they actually voice their feelings!!!
What I didn't like:
1. Whoever voiced Jeong Ha Yeon's inner monologue sounded absolutely emotionless. Mostly tired. Almost like a robot. And some of those lines should have been pretty soul-crushing imo.
2. The ending was rushed. As expected. It's just too little time to progress through such conflict at good pacing, but I would have preffered them rushing the "before together" part, if it meant having at least one more episode's worth of screentime after the revelation.
3. SPOILER : The side guy was unnecessary. He wasn't a good rival. I'm still conflicted whether he even loved the ML, or was just a good, protective friend. END OF SPOILER
Overall feelings:
It's not perfect. It could be disappointing if you were looking forward to it based on the premise. But I stumbled on it when I was stressed, binged it at night and had a pretty great time!! Will rewatch ifwhen they make a movie out of it.

My Review
What I like about this series are it's strengths.1. I love fantasy stories. This one is a fantasy meeting the reality.
2. Actors are not familiar to me but I don't mind. Now I want to learn more about them since I'm done watching. Acting is just right for me. I laughed at Jin Gun and I cried at Jeon Chang Ha. Actually to both of them. 😄🤧🤧🤧. Acting is kinda cool..Episode 6 timestamp 12:40 really killed me!
3. The musical scoring is simple yet on point.
4. It may have a different impact for other viewers or they may agree but for those who had this kind of situation would know what I mean. The kind of love that is heartbreaking but awesome! 😁😉. See? I don't even know what I'm saying. Hahaha...
5. I am going to watch it again and again.
I guess the only downside of the series is that this is way too short to finish. That could have been the reason why the ratings declined as I see them today. I am used of watching Thai BL series that is over 10 episodes. And maybe if the storyline got stretched a bit, it would give more of the actors an avenue to shows more of their acting skills. They deserve a season 2 if they want to prove it or maybe a new series. A Romantic Comedy. And of course! MIKAEL! LOVE UR CURLY HAIR 😉😁
Did I say too much? Hehehe..
Congratulations to you guys!!! I hope to see you in person Jin Gun and Jeon Chang Ha.

Don't judge the book by it's cover 2.0
I am a picky viewer and i rarely give high scores, but this series made my heart, mind and soul unstable. Trust me, this series is an A+. it just started but given the fact that the 1st ep is wonderful i already know that the upcoming eps will be great. Face Value is an A, Characters is an A, Story line an A+, the music A, and of course it is a Korean Series so i do expect an A in/to the chemistry of the MC's.Since this review need 500 words...
Hello Im Yurie! This is my 1st time to write a review but i do critique a lot. First of all, i want you to know the plot. I will not tell the plot but i am going to give you insights a bit. I love how the magical creature play its role because i believe that if that creature is not present the story will be boring. This character really plays a big role to the story most importantly to the couple. The couple is amazing, i define the Top as a cute guy and the Bottom as a handsome guy. At first, i was very hesitant to watch the series because i define the Top as an ugly Character. Now, i have crush on him HAHA. Now you guys know my type. Back to the topic, i will not queestion the bottom since he is amazing already. I think so far, everything is good as long as the writer and the director will stick to its core. Now, i come to a conclusion that, you should watch it first. To the person who gave small rating, poor you.

First Love, Again o amor que ultrapassa a eternidade
Ao encontra esse título e ler sua história achei promissor, pois de todos os BL que assisti nunca havia me deparado com essa temática. Portanto, comecei a história com expectativas altas e posso dizer que estou feliz de ter encontrado esse título, claro a história e a trama em si tem um erro ou outro o que considero normal, o sentimento que se tem ao terminar é de satisfação.Dentro de toda a expectativa que tive o carisma e a atuação do elenco me deixou satisfeito é uma história simples mas que tem o seu charme, que é justamente a simplicidade de uma história doce, os atores mostraram muito talento ao ter um contato físico mais real do que em muitos BL, e a trama têm seus pontos altos e baixos, que poderia ter se resolvido com mais episódios. No entanto, me surpreendi com a duração dos episódios que tem uma média entre 20-28 minutos algo que marca um diferencial nas produções da temática na indústria coreana, definitivamente estamos mais perto de BL com maior duração e investimento e dessa forma, First Love, Again tem sua contribuição.

Um drama muito bom, porém passageiro.
First Love Again, foi um drama que eu demorei um pouco para começar porquê eu não olhei as informações dele e achava que era super longo, hoje quando peguei para assistir, vi tudo de uma vez só, consegui nem parar para ir no banheiro. É muito viciante, e por ter eps mais curtos você pega muito no embalo. Mas a minha opinião sincera, é de que ele é bom na hora que você assiste, depois você meio que esquece dele. Não passou nem 1h depois que eu terminei e eu já nem lembrava o nome dos personagens. Tentei lembrar aqui o que aconteceu no final do primeiro ep, mas simplesmente não vem na cabeça. Mas eu me lembro de surtar bastante, achar muito fofo, e gostar demais de tudo. Então essa é minha conclusão: na hora que você assiste (e quando termina), ele é incrível, você fica apaixonado, mas depois que o efeito de êxtase passa, você não lembra de mais nada, só que você gostou. Claro que isso aqui é a minha experiência!Sabe, eu até que gostei da história, mass não acho que a plot foi totalmente explorada, acho que faltaram algumas explicações. Porém, eu entendo que é um drama mais curto, então pensando nisso, acho que eles fizeram um bom trabalho em relação ao desenvolvimento. A atuação eu gostei demais, principalmente das cenas mais emocionais, os atores deram tudo de si. E queria fazer um comentário a parte para o Changha, que fazia o Hayeon, como ele pode ser tão fofo??? Sinceramente, um dos seres humanos mais adoráveis que eu já vi em toda a minha vida, não tem como não sorrir olhando pra ele!! E esse foi seu primeiro drama, ansiosa demais para os próximos!!
É bem gostoso de assistir, e como eu disse, bem rápido e viciante. Então recomendo muito, só não vá com o pensamento de que vai ser um bl que você não vai parar de pensar depois. Pensa nele como algo para passar o tempo, talvez até como um drama para te tirar da ressaca.

Ahh a Coréia e seus doramas fantásticos sem lógica.
Primeiramente, sempre me preocupo ao ver doramas com temática sobrenatural, ainda por cima quando se trata da Coréia, pois os BL's coreanos geralmente são curtose os eps raramente ultrapassam a casa dos 20 minutos, então construir um plot convincente, cativante e que não termine cheio de buracos é realmente difícil.Falando especificamente de "First love again", posso dizer que a história é cativante, isso somado à ótima atuação, uma bela fotografia e uma ost encantadora, formaram um conjunto que deu certo e apesar dos furos, a história foi plausível e teve uma final lindo. A parte fantástica é meio ilógica, 300 anos atrás ele alimentou um gato, que era uma espécie de fada, e seu pedido foi poder reencontrar sua amada e viver seu amor, mas partindo desse princípio, como se deu sua vida, infância e juventude? Ele nasceu com a consciência de que era sua terceira vida, e sabendo o motivo desse fato? Também ficou faltando o desfecho de Mikael, que agora cumpriu sua missão e não tem mais obrigação de ajudar Yeon Seok. Quando Ha Yeon viu a foto, de imediato soube o que estava acontecendo? Essa parte ficou meio que sem lógica, principalmente no ep seguinte, quando Yeon Seok relata para Mikael que Ha Yeon não entendia se ele o amava realmente ou amava quem ele foi em vidas passadas, essa parte foi muito sem lógica. Mas pra que lógica com um casal tão lindo e fofo? Até o empata love, amigo de Ha Yeon no final foi super legal e não teve como não gostar da série com uma história tão leve (apesar dos furos), e do carisma dos atores.
Recomendo muito! É curtinha e vc maratona rapidinho.

HORRIBLE STORY
PAUNAWA, ANG MGA MABABASA NYO AY OPINION KO LAMANG; LOVE LANG PO, WALA PO AKONG INTENSYON MASAMA
CHIKA LANG TO AS A FRIEND ❤
Hi Guys Share ko lang, pinapanood ko kase yung kaka tapos lang na K BL ngayon na FIRST LOVE AGAIN.
Sa una nag enjoy naman ako kase napansin ko kaagad yung husay sa pag acting nung bida, yung top (para magets nyo agad) as in para syang yung mga male lead sa mga romcom na kdrama yung very serious pero nakakatawa ( well sa dame na ng kdrama na napanood ko ) and ang wish ko sa career nya sana mag karoon pa sya ng another project yung romcom na straight drama kase I think mas bagay nya yon pero syempre as a BL fan , mas gusto ko na BL ulit, pero kase nakikita ko talaga yung chance sa kanya, basta I love his acting.
Sa editing naman, I mean yung dating nung bawat series, annganda!, yung effects, yung kanta, background, set ups, yung places kitang kitang ginastusan at ginalingan talaga wala ako masasabe don, baksu !👏👏👏,
Saka si ate gurl na nine tailed fox galing nya don umarte good job ! Di talaga mawawala yung mga ganung Y gurls sa mga BL wahaahha..❤🤗
So ito na nga, don naman tayo sa isang male lead yung bottom ( hahah diko kase alam kung pano ko sya i aaddress ng tama pero I think in this way mas magegets nating lahat) sorry guys pero I think hindi sya bagay don sa top, wala talaga akong ma feel na chemistry, wala akong mafeel na kilig, and yung kiss nila di ako masyado kinilig. Sorry talaga, diko alam sa kung anung reason pero in MY OPINION, sa dame ko na napanood na kdrama, ( I am kdrama fan since 2019, BL fan since 2020) at BL makakabisado mo talaga ee magiging expert expertan ka ee diba, hahaha sana nagegets nyo, and for me, medyo down sila sa picking ng right tamdem dito sa drama na to. I am not saying na hindi good looking ahh, well in fact apaka pogi nga non at saka very baby face. Also yung acting den nitong si bebe boy bottom, mejo hindi sya nag mamatch sa acting na binibigay ni Kuya Top, like ganon ganon lang sya pero yung isa very nagagalingan ako at very binibigay talaga yung best acting. Sorry about that sa mga fans nyaa..Wala akong intension mang bash huh love love lang tayo, I am telling this sa whole ness ng series . So yon for me di talaga match.
And ito pa sorry,diko natanggap yung story na diba sa past life nila babae yung bottom, and on the present lalaki na sya and her face became her sister in present?? Diba hahah, si kuya Top confused na confused, papaano nga naman yon diba, sana di nalang ginawang ganon diba , sana ibang tao nalang like totally wala na yung feslak na yon nung gurl. And ang masaklap pa nagmeet silang apat don sa bahay nung bebe boy bottom, so naisip ko lang hindi ba na awkward-an si kuya Top don? Kase yung babaeng mahal nya, I mean yung face nung babaeng mahal nya for so many years ay mukha na ng ate nung mahal nya ngayon hahahah.. sorry, off sakin talaga its so wierd.
And I decided na di nalang tapusin yung series kase diko na sya matake pa. Share ko lang. Well sarili ko lang namang opinion to, like sino ba naman ako diba.
For those who watched it and finished and loved the drama , good for you guys ! Desurv nila yan kase they worked hard para mabigyan tayo ng saya as a BL FAN ..
yun lang Baksu 👏👏👏👏 ( wala kase ako kausap here sa bahay so share ko nalang dito you are all my friends naman ❤)
K bye.
