Oh Japanese version is SO much better than Korean one.. Better acting to start with, main leads are also older..

Know what you feel I haven't finished Episode 4 and already finding it weird... I get the weird attraction that FL is trying to figure out but not 100% sure why she's dragging Kusaka-ku into her mess...

Yes it was a nice mix and nice change from high school series where most actors are in their 20s anyway !

Totally agree just watched all episodes in 1 day.

Totally agree watched it all in 1 day. Great chemistry acting and nice to have a different angle to classic BLs

Have that on my List to watch!

You were probably right! Ok get your name now! Only discovered him lately and impressed.

Had a hard time believing in the FL character in that one..

Thanks for the explanation - having never grown up on manga/anime I do find that some series based on them tend to have that exaggeration you talk of. I've seen quite a few jdramas the last few years that I've started watching both jdrama and kdramas, and I do like quite a lot of them which are quite different to kdramas, often nothing glamourous about the characters etc and often nothing too dramatic happens : I find this somewhat refreshing to some kdramas where everything is included in the storyline. I understand the pressure to fit storylines into a format I suppose in an ideal world I'd like less than 16 episodes (which most kdramas are) as often they go off on tangents I'm not interested in. Some jdramas which I've really liked I wish they'd done another 2 episodes or so (or even more than 25 minutes per episode)..

First Love is one of my favourites bought the OST and pretty much every cd by Utada Hikaru. I don't know most of the idols but can recognise good acting. What irritates mr the most is the FL big eyes passivity inspired by original manga, never grew up with mangas so find that part most irritating. Some series are brillant but would ike another episode or so. Most are 8-10 episodes which I find a bit too compact sometimes for the storyline but preferable to 16 episodes in k- dramas with everything thrown in.

Agree sad ending not sure how she had a kid after all those horrendous treatments she had, but I'm willing to suspend reality for such a good series.

Just finished it - really lovely story well acted. Never understand why so many j-dramas are rated so low! Is it because the acting style is low-key?

Thanks I've watched as far as episode 6 and think will stop. Actress playing FL is good ML actor seems expressionless (watched him briefly in Dynamite Kiss which also dropped) Perhaps having watched "The Tale of the 9 Tail" as my first gumho series I was spoilt by storyline and acting. Liked the feisty FL but just didn't believe in any chemistry between the main couple.

thanks for your review just started this now and not sure it's for me. Saw ML in "Dynamite Kiss" and wasn't impressed. Don't know if I'm biased because I watched "The tale of the 9 tailed " recently with Jo Bo Anh and Lee Dong Wook - this was my first viewing of a gum house series..

Just finished it... Also thought FL and SML had better relationship /chemistry than with the ML... It just didn't feel natural - even the ML says 'they've got no chemistry'! Rest of the story/actors was well done.

I think Navillera showed he could act in a non romantic role. Haven't watched 'Sweet Home' either as don't think it's my scene. Would be nice to see him try some other genres of series.

Totally agree think that US actress Renee Zellwegger said that she's unable to have kids due to the yoyoing weight gain she did for the film series.. I'd be thinking of bones - think I saw some Chinese actresss on crutches last year because she'd lost so much weight. Really frightening with serious long term consequences. Horrendous to suffer like that

Very sad if PMY constantly dieting - especially as she is rake thin already.Think actress who played "Bridget Jone's" and put on a lot of weight for the role (she was naturally thin) said that by doing that it really messed up her health.. Doubt losing weight for a role is any healthier when you're already thin.
