My Love Mix-Up!

Even though I’ve seen this two times I am still in love with it

This is definitely one of the most cutest dramas on earth! I loved each second of it and even if you didn’t read the manga it felt like you didn’t need too because you basically watched it. Each character had their own unique differences and were all amazing in their own way. Aoki is so cute and funny and I literally want to be him because of how amazing he is. Also I’m just saying I may apply that eraser hack into my life if it’s actually true. I’m just gonna say there may be spoilers ahead so be aware.
It was a very nice and not confusing plot like most BL dramas, but of course it’s a school plot drama. The whole plot is basically Aoki is a high schooler and he has a best friend which is Hashimoto and they both basically complete each other. One day they have a test and Aoki forgets his eraser and he asks one from Hashimoto and she lets him borrow an eraser at the same time Aoki has a crush on her, but when he sees something written on an eraser it’s a name of one of their classmates named Ida and Aoki gets startled and drops the eraser on the ground and the person who sits in front of him is Ida and he sees the eraser and gives it to Aoki, but does a double take because he saw his name on it and asked if it was his, so Aoki had to lie for the sake of Hashimoto and said it’s his so Ida thought that Aoki likes him. Over time Ida starts paying a whole lot of attention to Aoki and Aoki tries to get Hashimoto be with Ida all the time and Aida keeps butting in all the time, but while that happens Aoki starts to develop feelings for Ida instead. The class also had to do a performance of Cinderella and Aoki, Aida, Hashimoto, and Ida were going to do props and sets until the two main class leads got sick and had to drop out of the show and Ida was the prince and Hashimoto was Cinderella, but Hashimoto has stage fright and begged to not do it so Aoki stole Cinderella and while everyone laughed the four of them were happy that Aoki did something so kind. On the day of the show they ate it up except for Aoki slipping and Ida catching him and Aoki got mad and walked out and forgot to leave his shoe so he threw it at Ida which was so funny, but Aoki did get a lot of hate because of that and was called very homophobic comments, but Ida did stand up for him.
On the day on the camping trip they have to get their own food that’s in the mountains somewhere, but since both Aoki and Hashimoto hate bugs they end up only getting one item and in the end Ida ends up sharing with Aoki and Hashimoto, the following night Aoki and Ida hang out and they ended up falling down the hill and while Aoki woke up Ida wasn’t moving so he thought he was never gonna wake up so Aoki started to cry and say that he will never forget him, but Ida woke up and laughed at Aoki for overreacting. Overtime from them tutoring each other and sitting near each other they both end up having feelings for each other, and Aoki at the same time as Hashimoto said their feelings about who they liked and once Aoki realized it wasn’t Ida, but Aida instead he was relieved, but also surprised, after that they ended up dating and although they had one break they got back together and were absolutely adorable. Also Hashimoto was a baddie for slapping Aida for talking bad about Aoki. Even though this show didn’t have any kisses it was actually so amazing and were better than shows that need the kiss scenes. My favorite part of this show was when they were in a school camping trip and when it was the Cinderella play it was so adorable. I definitely recommend this show because it’s a must watch!

Perfectly Captured the Fluttering Feeling of First Love

We first have to thank Hashimoto for lending Aoki that eraser, the legendary eraser that started it all.

While Aoki is the kindest soul, Ida must have been a saint in a past life; there isn't an ounce of malice in that man. I love that he didn't just reject Aoki’s "confession" right away; he sincerely considered his feelings before responding. The only thing I find hard to believe is that this was Ida's first time being confessed to. Seriously? With a face like that (Meguro Ren is a total hottie!), I would’ve been first in line!

Akkun initially infuriated me when he meddled and forced Aoki to the rooftop to come clean. He definitely deserved the slap Hashimoto gave him! However, his heart was in the right place, and he eventually made up for his mistake by being a true friend.

Aoki’s journey was a roller coaster ride of feelings, from the depression of realizing he had fallen for Ida for real, to the heartbreak of thinking he had lost him after coming clean. That scene where he sadly stares at Ida from a distance absolutely broke my heart.

The camping trip was such a fun episode. I loved seeing Hashimoto and Aoki’s bond, and even Ida and Akkun managed to bond for once.

My favorite moment has to be after the pretty manager left. Aoki was dribbling the ball while Ida watched from above. Seeing Ida finally become honest with his feelings while Aoki was already "in too deep" was beautiful to watch.

Credit where credit is due, Ida’s friend, Toyoda, is the real hero of this series. I love how he helped a clueless, "stupid-when-it-comes-to-love" Ida realize his feelings and gave him the push he needed to run to Aoki.

My Love Mix-Up! perfectly captured the butterflies of falling in love for the first time. It beautifully illustrated that you can’t choose who you love and that honest feelings always deserve to be heard.

This show is definitely my top comfort watch! Michieda Shunsuke perfectly captured Aoki’s chaotic energy, and Meguro Ren played Ida’s stoic-but-sincere nature so well.

The OST really is the cherry on top, having both Snow Man’s "Secret Touch" and Naniwa Danshi’s "Ubu LOVE" play at the end of different episodes made the vibes even more magical.

I've never been so happy that "miscommunication" is the foundation of the drama's conflict!

The plot of this drama is truly exceptional. It breaks away from the typical predictable high school love story and offers a fresh perspective while still maintaining the sweet and innocent essence of young love. The pacing is just right, neither dragged out nor rushed, and the story unfolds with perfect consistency. Unlike other stories where unspoken feelings lead to prolonged tension, this drama avoids that trope, making for a much more enjoyable to watch.

Although Japanese BL miscommunication is a common issue, Aoki and Ida's relationship stands out because they manage to avoid this pitfall. While they do have occasional disagreements, these conflicts stem from their struggle to comprehend their newfound emotions rather than from any lack of communication. This unique approach adds depth to their characters and makes their story all the more compelling.

I appreciate the inclusion of the secondary storylines involving Aida and Hashimoto as supporting characters. Their presence adds a sense of wholesomeness to the overall story. Furthermore, I admire the writer's decision not to portray Hashimoto as the typical third-wheel character, which is a refreshing departure from the overused trope often seen in similar stories. This choice contributes to the unique and engaging nature of the storytelling.

The casting for the characters in the show is truly exceptional. Michieda Shunsuke's portrayal of Aoki is nothing short of brilliant. He effortlessly embodies the goofy, funny, clumsy, and kind aspects of the character, while also delivering the sincere, strong, mindful, and considerate traits with great skill. His acting is consistently top-notch, and I couldn't find a single scene where his performance felt anything less than genuine. Additionally, Maguro Ren deserves praise for his portrayal of the inexperienced first-time lover, as he brings the character to life with remarkable authenticity, drawing the audience into the story.

I commend the production team for their ability to portray various scenes in different locations, which keeps viewers engaged and eager for the next episodes. Additionally, the background music is a perfect complement to the story. The carefully curated OST enhances the drama and is well-suited to the overall narrative. This attention to detail adds depth and richness to the viewing experience.

Overall, this drama is a must-watch for anyone looking for a fresh take on young love and a well-executed plot.

Um BL perfeito ao ponto que fui atrás do mangá para ler e saber ainda mais da história. As atuações são todas perfeitas e no ponto certo, equilibrando perfeitamente o drama e a comédia!

Não vou falar muito por medo de dar spoiler, mas, o jeito com que se tratam as relações e as confusões são tão leves, mesmo que impactantes quando você se joga de cabeça na história da série. Com toda certeza foi um dos doramas que eu mais ri assistindo, também o que mais me deixou torcendo para todos - porque é impossível não gostar de nenhum dos protagonistas (sim, conto a Mio e o Hayato como tais).

Vejam esse show, se apaixonem e, no final, leiam o mangá e tenham a experiência completa de Kieta Hatsukoi que vale MUITO a pena.

MUITO CHORO

Acho que nunca chorei tanto assistindo uma série que nem chorei nessa, é simplesmente a coisa mais fofa que eu já vi em toda a minha vida. Os personagens são perfeitos, a atuação deles é impecável, a história é divertida, os diálogos são legais e engraçados e a cada episódio eu me surpreendia cada vez mais! De verdade, Kieta Hatsukoi é um bl que todos deveriam assistir, eu nunca vou superar as cenas, os atores, e a história dessa série.
EU AMO a atuação do Micchi (Aoki) e a forma como ele fez um par perfeito com o Ren (Ida), nem se tentassem encontrar outros atores para esses papéis conseguiriam.
Simplesmente uma obra de arte!

Healthiest Jap BL couple!!!

I love how misunderstanding is cleared up almost instantly. I mean, if a high schooler can do this, why can't other BL couples do this? Lol..I also love side straight couple. I am usually biased towards supporting the BL couple, but this is the first show I actually love all couples and enjoy the entire show, without skipping scenes.

Music is spot on. Development is great. Really funny, cute and loving

The only thing is I still don't understand why they break up. I feel like its a plot twist for the sake of. Depsite it, since its a happy ending, I'll take it. Also, since they are in high school, I guess its common to break up easily for no reasons. After all, its their first relatioship and they did really well for that

It seems unlilely but I'm happy for a special episode or season 2, even!

Also, Ida gets cuter at each scene!

キスシーンはBLドラマに必要なものですか？

私は皆さんに「キスシーンはBLドラマに必要なものですか？」と問いたいです。
男女の恋愛ドラマでキスシーンが無い作品なんて、いくらでもあります。キスシーンが無くても特に何も言われません。

しかし、なぜBLドラマは執拗にキスシーンが求められるのですか？キスシーンが無いことはそんなにおかしいことですか？
キスシーンが無いだけで、なぜ出演者・監督・脚本家の皆さんが「同性愛嫌悪」とまで言われなければならないのですか？
その発言こそが差別だと思いますし、真剣に向き合って、作品を作り上げた皆さんに対して本当に失礼です。
青木役の道枝駿佑さん（なにわ男子）、井田役の目黒蓮さん（Snow Man）、お二人のブログ・雑誌での発言を見ていると、真剣に作品と向き合い、台本だけでなく原作漫画を何度も読みながら演じていました。

日本では漫画の実写化を快く思わない原作ファンも多いので、実写化するとしても原作に忠実であることが求められますが、消えた初恋にはLGBTQ監修スタッフを付け、様々な面に配慮した内容へ少しずつ原作から変更しながらも、放送時間が少ない中で原作の内容を上手に取捨選択していたと思います。

「道枝さんの演技が大袈裟」「目黒さんが表情が乏しい」という海外からの意見を見かけましたが…原作の青木は非常に表情豊かで、変顔が多く、ギャグっぽいシーンも多いです。
そのまま実写化するとわざとらしくなってしまいがちですが、道枝さんは原作に忠実でありながらも可愛らしい青木でした。
瞳の揺れ方、本当に赤くなっている頬、など…井田を好きになっていく過程が伝わる演技でした。
目黒さんが演じる井田は、青木に対する想いが変化していくにつれて、青木と一緒にいる時だけは表情が豊かになり、話し方も優しくなっていき、最終回では青木に対する想いをちゃんと自覚して、瞳に涙を浮かべながら、初めて自分の気持ちをしっかりと伝えるところが良かったです。

道枝さんと目黒さんの所属グループが担当したW主題歌の歌詞もドラマの内容にリンクしており、それぞれの役にイメージカラーがあったので（青木→黄、井田→青）、最終回のイルミネーションもその2色がメインになっていました。
様々な部分でこだわっているドラマだと思います。

SNSを見ているとキスシーンが無いという理由だけで「BLドラマにアイドルを起用するな」等の意見も見かけましたが、私はアイドルを起用することに意味があると思っています。
日本の芸能界に詳しくない方は分からないと思いますが、メインキャストである道枝駿佑さんと目黒蓮さんは、日本で1番有名な男性アイドル事務所（1962年設立）に所属しており、お二人とも非常に人気のある若手アイドルです。
そのようなアイドルがBLドラマに出演することによって、幅広い層の方々がBLドラマを見て、LGBTQについて考えるきっかけにもなると思います。

Je viens juste de terminer cette série et on peut dire que je suis conquise !

Kieta Hatsukoi se démarque des autres BL de part sa tendresse et son histoire. En effet, c'est une histoire qui prend son temps, qui est plus réaliste (selon moi). Les personnages principaux sont perdus face a leur diffèrent sentiments, ils ressentes des émotions comme la peur du regard des autres sans que ca n'amène a une histoire clichée pour autant.

Pour une fois, le personnage féminin qui accompagne le couple principal sert a l'intrigue et ne créait pas de dama (Je trouve sa assez rare malheureusement, c'est pourquoi je le souligne). Elle a un vrai caractère et des sentiments.

En bref, c'est un mignon petit drama japonais avec une histoire réaliste, simple et efficace qui, personnellement, m'a fait beaucoup sourire. Le casting est vraiment bon et on se fait entrainer dans l'histoire des les premières minutes.

Dans tous les cas, je conseille très fortement cette série ! Pour ma part je vais la revisionner d'ici un mois ou deux !

Um bl super confortável de assistir. Recomendo demaaais!!

É um bl simplesmente perfeito! A história e a relação entre o casal é extremamente fofa e confortável. N sei se isso é considerado spoiler mas, apesar de o casal não ter dado nenhum beijo, isso só faz provar que uma relação, para ser verdadeira, não é necessário que hajam beijos ou que tenha relações sexuais.
Eu adorei a temática de como é abordado o dorama, apesar de eu não ter lido o mangá, eu me senti como se estivesse literalmente vendo um mangá se transformando em live action.
Para finalizar a química dos principais e a atuação de todos os personagens são ótimas e puras. Vale muuuito a pena assistir.

Gomme et quiproquo…

Kieta Hatsukoi est le genre de drama au pouvoir d'attraction inexplicable. Avec son histoire toute douce et ses personnages plein de tendresse, je suis tombée dans ses filets dès le premier épisode, attendant la semaine suivante. J'ai eu l'impression de revenir aux sources du JBL. Ceux aux scénarios simples, mais efficaces avec une brochette de personnages attachants. Le tout dans une ambiance légère et positive, agrémentée de cette poésie propre au Japon.

Aoki (Michieda Shunsuke) est un adorable lycéen maladroit. Ses expressions sont extrapolées tout en accentuant davantage les caractéristiques du personnage. Il a l'art et la manière de mettre les pieds dans le plat, décuplant son côté attachant. Il n'agit jamais comme une mauvaise personne, il est soucieux des autres, notamment Ida. Cependant, derrière ses moues boudeuses et ses petits cris amusants, le personnage manque un peu de profondeur, bien que Michieda Shunsuke soit resté juste du tout long.

Ida (Meguro Ren) est tout le contraire d'Aoki. Charmant et de peu de mots, s'il apparaît désintéressé, c'est tout le contraire. Lorsqu'il s'attache à quelqu'un, il donne tout. Sa curiosité envers Aoki était magnifique à suivre. Il s'est longuement questionné, il a prit le temps de réfléchir sans jamais vouloir froisser Aoki. Néanmoins, lui aussi manque un peu de profondeur, bien que Meguro Ren livre une très jolie interprétation. Un acteur à suivre, sans aucun doute.

Les voir développer des sentiments l'un envers l'autre était adorable. C'était fluide, naturel et mignon. Le côté solaire d'Aoki s'accordait parfaitement à celui plus réservé d'Ida. Il y avait une forme d'équilibre où l'un aimait déverser ses pensées, tandis que l'autre préférait les garder. C'était agréable de les voir évoluer au fil des épisodes.

Bien sûr, Hashimoto (Fukumoto Riko) et Aida (Suzuki Jin) étaient des renforts solides qui pourraient tout aussi bien avoir leur propre histoire. Les deux acteurs ont livré de belles performances.

Derrière la romance, Kieta Hatsukoi aborde aussi les inquiétudes et les doutes qui vont avec sa thématique principale. Les questions et les craintes d'une telle relation. Le regard de la société, également. Aimer quelqu'un c'est magnifique, mais aimer une personne du même sexe, c'est (malheureusement) encore difficile. Plus haut, j'ai mentionné que ce drama me rappelait les premiers JBL, et c'est vrai, cependant, il a amenait avec lui une touche de réalisme aux nombreuses barrières qu'on peut rencontrer à cet âge.

En bref, malgré un final précipité (et légèrement décevant), Kieta Hatsukoi est un JBL adorable et sûrement l'un des plus mignons de cette année, porté par un casting sympathique et une très jolie photographie.

Amor, amizade e muita fofura

Kieta Hatsukoi tem uma história simples, porém que conquista. Tudo começou por causa de uma borracha e mal entendidos, e a história até que me surpreendeu em alguns pontos.

Um grande forte desse drama são os personagens. Eles são simplesmente adoráveis e muito fofos. O enredo tem algumas situações bem aleatórias, mas que não me incomodaram porque me faziam rir demais. As atuações são boas, um pouco exageradas em vários momentos, mas isso combina com a proposta do drama e o contexto escolar. A trilha sonora também é agradável, as musiquinhas são divertidas.

Falando um pouco mais especificamente dos personagens, nossa como eu amei todos. Aoki é uma graça, ele é tão fofo, companheiro e empático. Em muitas de suas ações prioriza o sentimento de outras pessoas, e acaba por deixar os seus de lado. Durante todo o drama mostra também como ele é inseguro e paranóico, o que vai repercutindo na sua vida e no seu relacionamento com o Ida.

Hashimoto é outra que também é muito fofa. Assim como Aoki, ela é insegura em mostrar seus sentimentos. Mas também é muito companheira e compreensiva. Ela foi a primeira pessoa a saber dos sentimentos de Aoki por Ida e a conversa que tiveram foi tão bonita e saudável. Em nenhum momento ela o julgou, foi uma cena que me deixou muito feliz. A amizade dela com Aoki é linda, os dois são parecidos e me fizeram rir bastante.

Ida foi um personagem que me surpreendeu. Eu não estava esperando que ele fosse tão compreensivo e gentil. Ele é um personagem que tem muitos conflitos internos durante a trama, pois não sabe exatamente o que sente por Aoki e o que significa gostar de alguém. Acompanhar o desenvolvimento dele foi bem interessante. Enfim, ele é um amorzinho também.

Aida é um personagem que no começo nem reparei que seria importante pra história, mas eu gostei dele também. Ele é divertido e companheiro, e tenta muitas vezes ajudar Aoki (mesmo que seus planos deem errado por não ter interpretado as coisas direito).

Sobre Ida e Aoki como casal, eles me fizeram surtar muito de tanta fofura. Gostei da construção do relacionamento deles, pois pensei que iriam enrolar muito. Porém, foi bem rápido e eles eram bem diretos até. Ainda sim, durante a trama tiveram problemas de falta de comunicação, por conta da combinação da personalidade não muito expressiva de Ida e da paranóica de Aoki. Esses problemas costumam me incomodar muito nas histórias. Aqui também me incomodou um pouco, mas em se tratando de uma comédia escolar e adolescente, não foi algo que me irritou tanto. Em principal porque desde o início foi mostrado como Aoki era inseguro, então não achei incoerente.

Essa história também mostrou como é importante termos boas pessoas ao nosso lado. Com todos os conflitos que Aoki enfrenta, seus amigos estão sempre lá para ajudá-lo. Achei tão bonito como Aoki, Hashimoto, Ida e Aida sempre se ajudavam. Tanto para tentar conquistar a/o crush, como em situações mais sérias e tristes.

Por meio dos conflitos dos personagens, na minha opinião esse drama conseguiu expressar bem sobre o que é ser inseguro, sobre ter mais autoconfiança e sobre aceitação. Essas características são muito comuns na adolescência (e não só nela) de forma que mesmo quem não é mais adolescente pode facilmente se identificar com os personagens (eu mesma).

Em resumo, essa história me deixou feliz e aqueceu meu coração. Mas não só isso, pra ser sincera em alguns momentos eu me emocionei. É uma história muito bonita, sobre aceitar quem você é e buscar o que você deseja. Junto a isso, mostra a importância de ter boas pessoas ao seu lado, que te apoiem independentemente das suas peculiaridades, defeitos, gostos ou orientação sexual.
