This series was an ART. I was drawn to it, from the trailer until episode 9. Every scenes, scenery, dialogue, flashbacks were immaculate for me. The chemistry between the past and present Yae and Harumichi was so good as well. Ofc Ms Utada Hikaru’s song. Everyone did so great. Definitely one of my favorite drama series! They captured and delivered the First Love vibe we are all familiar with. ❤😊

By the end of episode 8, I was so impressed by the way the five senses were weaved into the storyline to try and evoke Yae's 'involuntary' memories - the lilacs, their initial meeting, napolitan, the kiss, finally culminating in the First Love listening with her son. It felt like the pieces finally fit together, I love how they were fulfilling their dreams in the ending credits too. I finished the series over the last 3 days but already I can't wait to rewatch it all again so I can appreciate all the finer details!

One of the best Japanese dramas I have watched so far. It brought me back from the 90s and slowly forwarded to the 2000s without making my head hurt with the flashbacks.

I agree on the part where most of the jdorama are made for the domestic market. IMO the usual drama acting they have for domestic audiences doesn't really attract the taste of the foreign ones. Their expressions like ehhh are cringey to foreigners including me and for 98% of the live action adaptation of anime or manga it's even more cringey it doesn't translate to real life (idk how to explain it well) unless it's of the comedy genre. I used to love jdorama until early late 2000s but for the last decade it's a bit hard for me to get several good dramas or movie in a year. On the other hand, those dramas targeted at international audiences are good.

The series were beautifully done. The last scene of episode 8 when Yae sit down with Tsuzuru at the balcony listening to the song and Yae had revelation of her lost memories; hit me so hard. It was so beautiful how she started to remember Harumichi. And all this while Harumichi never left her. I have been rewatching the series for 5 times; episode 8, 100 of times. I'm glad that Japan has finally make a comeback with this drama because I'm craves of excellent quality like this from Japan for a very long time. Please no season 2 of this series because it's already magnificent and heartwarming. I rather rewatch the whole series again.

I'd also agree but Tsunemi tried to get Harumichi out of his Security Guard gig into a Civilian Pilot as implied in one of the episodes. Though I'd also agree how egalitarian his family is when Harumichi was very confused about what kind of job would suit him, but it kinda feels like its a JSDF recruitment commercial on that part.

Think The Notebook, Titanic, Forest Gump, etc. Id love to see more from the director/writer but if this is her most succesful film then she should be content for life.

Last time being watch Love Alarm 1 & 2 and that's good story too its not like K-drama at all under Netflix name, pretty sure this one was deliver same result. Can't get off of my head his character as hitokiri from best anime - live action movie, same result no one can't replace RDJ as a man using iron suit modern era, Depp as great pirates from 1700, Sorimachi as perfect teacher example.

But also the way the story was written and how it unfolds in front of the viewer, piece by piece, like a puzzle until the ending of the 8th episode, it does feel like you explore/remember their story with Yae together. The actors were phenomenal, the male leads (both) were so brilliant. How everything fitted together was so perfectly made, I'm still speechless and in love with it. Thank you so much for making it. It was a beautiful experience to watch it.

I have to admire both youth actor and actress who performed the student period. They were out of performance in this series, especially the youth actor. Great job! 🎉🎉🎉

When I was watching the marathon of this drama I did it for 1 whole day while doing all the house chores.. but u wouldn’t believe that my tears were keep rolling in my cheeks for each every ep. I love the song in this drama specially the first love one, grew up with that song while I was back home in PI. That song by itself was sad and truthfull and knowing that they made a story about it I was grateful. Thank you, so so much. I love it twas so masterfully written and so beautiful..

it is the First movie that about Love since I broke up. It brings my Love feeling back to me "how to manage the Love" . Specially, it is Japan's love movie that I have seen before samurai.

This drama is such a nostalgia. They have portrayed love in different ways, from being inspired to become a better person to being able to share the love that you have; and to remember. Everything was beautiful, emotions are well portrayed by the actors, color scheme matched the mood of the scene, screenplay is superb for its parallel scenes from the past and current time. One of my fav scenes has to be in ep 9, when pilot harumichi looked at yae as a flight attendant. It ended where harumichi's genuine love started.

I was blown away by the cinematography as well as how the show was well-paced for a 9-episode series! Stellar casting too! It is quite amazing how the show came to full circle with such little time. Such a great show and loved how the director featured Utada Hikaru's songs
