My Precious (2024)

For people who loved my precious the movie and want to relive the memories of tonglin’s first love. Also for people who want a heart-warming series about first love
I loved the movie and was so emotionally attached to it even though it’s a simple plot and it's safe to say I loved the series too.
The series is an expansion of the movie. It’s basically the movie with many of the extra scenes, which did not make it into the final cut. U get to see the characters more and explore their friendship and characteristics. They even show us more about their families and the dynamics in their homes which makes the kids who they are. I’m happy that they explore ja-oh more, it felt like she was a very small character in the movie. They also made it fun by making the girls and the guys interact together more, making them one big friend group. They felt very real, like a group of high schoolers, focusing on studies and college entrance, having silly contests, and hanging out at each other’s restaurants.
The series also subtly highlighted lin, who I think is a very different type of a female lead. She is a typical goody-two-shoes but not the annoying type. She is strict but not in the sense that she never has fun, she knows the time and place and the amount of fun they should have. She has a distaste for tong, but she never looks down him for getting less marks. She helps him and his whole group, though all of them don’t put equal effort. She is the popular girl but not in a mean girl type of way. She knows all the boys like her, but she never takes advantage of their feelings or uses them. Lin and ja-oh’s friendship also shines here, like how ja-oh isn’t jealous about all the guys liking lin or how Lin never uses the guy’s feelings to look more superior. She is a very good friend to all; we can even say a selfless friend but she never loses sight of her goals and ambition. She does not let anyone distract her from her dreams. Lin might be one of my favorite female leads.
They showed how Lin and tong slowly started to like each other and fell in love. I live for tonglin so I was very happy. My only complaint would be we didn’t get to see much of their dating era, which only lasted one episode. I came in expecting more of their dating before the breakup
The last episode was completely different from the movie and it was one of the best . I love how they gave each character their own career paths and love lives. I love how they waited for each other. I really love how they ended Tong & Lin’s story, how they waited for each other, and how tong describes his first love. His whole monologue was very beautiful. Truly a great ending. I had tears in my eyes
I’m sad that this might be one of the last times we see film-nanon in a project together, both of them have big projects lined up but I will be still waiting for more. Also, its high time View gets the role of a main lead, she has proven herself as a strong actress multiple times.
I will be definitely rewatching this, probably binge-watching this to fill my heart
