First Love (I) (2022)
6/10
Good but slow pace

It's great to see a romantic drama like this from Japan.

As I watch this drama, I feel the story was better when both of them were teenager. The movie switches back and forth between when they were young teenage lovers and to the present day adult. The young actors had great chemistry. Takeru and Hikari were just bland. There was just nothing for them to do beside meet up for a date and then back to showing them at work. The deaf sister was more interesting. I think fewer episodes might of helped. The side plot of Yae's son and the dancing girl was pointless. Yea regaining all her memories from a song? Really? The love story of them as teenager was great but how the show ended felt empty.
