probably one of the best dramas i have ever seen. from the depth of the characters to how complex they are and their relationships with one another to the cinematography and music choices (first love will be on repeat for me now)!! and the cast is just fantastic, the chemistry between the younger actors who play harumichi and yae felt like i was actually watching a young couple in love!! highly recommend this for people new to jdramas, the 9 episode length was the perfect length for newcomers and to tell this story! first love, i love you 🥲💗
