When First Love Transcends Time
First love, soulmates, unresolved feelings, grief, loss, coming-of-age—all in one story 😭
I was so lucky to discovered this hidden gem dubbed as Tagalog on YouTube. I've watched the whole thing while working on my computer.
I really loved the location in the early scenes—it reminded me so much of my hometown. That nostalgic vibe just hit different. The movie follows the coming-of-age journey of two best friends who slowly fall for each other. But the catch is… they lived in a time when being gay wasn’t as accepted as it is now. The concept isn’t exactly new, but I don’t know—this one really stuck with me. Maybe because I’m a big fan of Ohm and his acting got me from the start. He’s the kind of actor who always knows how to break my heart—just like he did in Bad Buddy.
What shocked me though is how the second half totally shifts. It’s no longer a BL—it turns into a reincarnation story! I honestly felt a bit robbed, lol. Dew (Ohm) dies and is reincarnated as a girl, and they meet again years later. When I read the plot summary, I really thought they'd reunite as guys. Maybe I should’ve watched the trailer first 😂. Still, no regrets watching it. It’s such a beautiful piece. Prepare yourself though—this one’s a serious emotional roller coaster. Tissues are a must!
Shoutout to the actress who played the girl version of Dew—she really looked like Ohm! Perfect casting. Everyone did great, but Ohm? He’s just on another level. So versatile!
