First Love (2026)

Enjoy both of leads acting.

I watched this drama since i miss Shu Tong on short drama and this drama was around years since they shoot so it was probably longest take to wait for this short drama. I personally want to see Zhai Yi Ying on melodrama since the last drama i watch from fer was light-hearted drama with Yao Guan Yu last January. It was really worth to watch.

The synopsis was melodrama coded and focused on the FL's suffering; but it feels i was being scammed in good way this time.
It's a story of campus romance + mutual redemption + running away for love + reconciliation. While there are indeed some awkward moments, the underlying logic is sound. The awkwardness isn't just for the sake of being melodramatic; it's a complete, closed-loop logic that aligns with the characters' actions. Therefore, there are no disjointed moments, and the story flows smoothly. The only flaw is that the kidnapping at the end was really unnecessary. FL mother wasThe first half drama was quite boring but the second half drama was better.

Shu Tong portrayal of ML's character is excellent. He is patient, persistent but later becomes clear-headed, rational, shrewd, and decisive.

FL is grounded, little bit awkward and realistic. She leaves to allow her loved one better opportunities and doesn't want to hold ML back. Seven years later, their backgrounds are vastly different, so her avoidance of him is understandable. Applause for Zhai Yi Ying to make FL character was down-to-earth person.

Still worth to watch but if you don't like melodrama you can skip this one.

I enjoyed it

This was cute! Not perfect, but easy enough to follow. I don’t need to opine on how I feel could have been better because it had flaws that if I was to nit pick, it would seem then to say I didn’t enjoy it. However, it has a clear enough point that it keeps you interested. Female lead is a tough cookie who loved fiercely, and likewise held her grudges til the end. Deservedly, awful parent and step-sibling. Main guy is adorable. Glad he didn’t insist on being a jerk with his revenge. Short lived which is what I like. The transition from school age to adulthood was smooth and I really liked it. Very nice to the eyes. Beautiful love story to the end. This is one of the good ones if you want a nice romance.
