A Little Thing Called First Love (2019)

No importa el tiempo quien te ama te espera.

Bueno por donde empiezo:
Es de las series que he visto un avance en todos los personajes sin excepción alguna, todos maduran y crecen.

La primera cosa que aprendí y me gustó de esta serie fue la amistad que crearon todos, la sinceridad, el apoyo entre amigas y el no abandonarse cuando todo esta mal, el no dudar nunca de tu amiga a pesar de estar enfadada, saber quien tienes a tu lado.

El amor tenemos dos tipos de parejas:
La primera es Miao Miao con el senior es uno de los amores más dulces que he podido ver, al principio ella no sabía nada, ni de moda, ni de amor, era tímida pero con el tiempo evoluciona y crece, descubre lo que quiere hacer con su vida y sobre todo aprende a no depender de nadie. Los dos evolucionan de una manera tierna y aunque hay un momento que deben de soltarse para aprender a amarse y te paras y quieres matar a los dos, al final entiendes que lo necesitaban. Amar no significa que debes cortarle las alas a tu pareja, debes apoyarla y si hay distancia de por medio, no tiene por que ser un obstáculo.

La segunda pareja es la del amor al odio hay un paso y del odio al amor otro, ella aprende que aunque lo ame no debe dejarse tratar mal por nadie y mucho menos dejar de ser valorada, el debe aprender a quererse así mismo, perdonar el pasado y empezar a vivir el presente, darse cuenta de a quienes trata mal a quienes grita son las personas que quiere y es entonces cuando da el paso a quererse y cuando recibe de su propio karma lucha por madurar, por demostrarle a esa persona que la quiere y no volver a tratarla mal ni a ella ni a sus amigos, por culpa del pasado que no lograba entender.

En cuanto a algo que no me ha gustado, que el final fuese tan lento, hubo un momento que la decisión de el no contarle la verdad a ella y ella pensar que era su culpa me molestó, pues si el confiaba en ella, ella no tenía que dejar su futuro tras enterarse de la verdad, no que se fue pensando que era su culpa, dejando mucho que ver en que seguía sin quererse así misma, pero como dije es algo que necesitaban para aprender y estar juntos.
Otra cosa que quizás no me gustó, la falta de besos pero supongo que es porque las actrices eran menores en el momento y en China es algo que se lleva a raja tabla pero bueno almenos tuvimos dos besos en la mejilla de ambas parejas que significaron mucho.

En cuanto a la serie la recomendaría 100% y si quieres escapar de tanta toxicidad, problemas, mentiras, esta serie es perfecta para tí. Un romance escolar perfecto.

This drama is somewhat relateable aside from the love lines.
First off, its a typical youth C-drama, female lead loves the popular, smart and handsome male lead.
The character development in this drama is great especially with the female lead, Xia Miao Miao. She was initially a timid and shy girl but grew into a brave, confident, and independent girl because of her friends and because of her beloved Liang You Nian.

Liang You Nian is the male lead of the drama. He's your typical c-drama male lead. He's sweet and nice to everyone except those who ticks him off or trying to get with his girl. You can totally see his glare when someone gets too close to Miao Miao. IT WAS ADORABLE! Back to the story at hand, You Nian is someone who sticks to what he wants to do and this trait of his helped Miao Miao switch her major to something that SHE herself really wanted to do from the beginning. That sparked the change in Miao Miao and how hard working she is in achieving her dreams.

The relationship between the two leads started later because Miao Miao had a crush on You Nian since high school and (spoiler alert) Liang You Nian did as well, however he didn't exactly confirm this until later in university. It was cute when they got together, they held hands, hugged, not much kissing but other than that its adorable seeing them together and working together, etc.

The drama also focused on other couples Lin Kai Tuo, You Nian's younger step brother (its funny because the actor playing Kai Tuo is way older than Kuan Lin(actor playing Liang You Nian). XD Kai Tuo was coupled with He Xin (Liang You Nian's cousin.) I call them the temper couple cause they both have anger issues/temper. hhahaha Another character is Wang Yi Chao and same-grade female character I forgot the name of albeit sh initially liked You Nian.

Furthermore, the drama focused on family issues such as Liang You Nian's family. His father married Kai Tuo's mother. For a while this caused a disruption in the friend between Kai Tuo and You Nian. One misses their birth mother, and the other misses their birth father. As said before, this drama mentioned individual choices -such as majors in universities- if your family wants you to take this major, but your hearts wants something else then follow it cause thats what Miao Miao ended up doing.

Lets just say, You Nian influenced a lot of Miao Miao's choices which eventually lead to an argument I thought was pointless. Anyways, You Nian also said Miao Miao inspired him as well in ways that she never knew she could because she thought he's "too high" for her. It just tells us that You Nian doesn't care if you're not the best looking person, its all about the personality and your actions and what you do with it.

The acting in this drama is not amazing. I just want to say Kuan Lin is not an actor even though he technically acted. He just didn't seem natural whatsoever. His expressions are stone cold aside from his smile - which is adorable but other than that his expressions in acting is terrible. Even the crying part was awkward - it had no feeling to me. The female lead who played XIa Miao Miao did an okay, passable job.

Overall, if you like youth dramas dealing with fashion design, architect, drawing, college life, family drama, friendship then this is for you. :)

This is a sweet, adorable, warm Chinese remake of Thai’s hit film, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The story is same with the film itself, although with subtle changes and more depth. Despite the clicheness, the storyline itself will make you laugh hard, cry wholly, feel butterflies in your stomach, scream so high (which I did), and lastly, get nostalgic.

The SL and FML really got my attention when I saw the former episodes. They had this oozing chemistry, and I feel bad (not) for shipping them rather than the actual love teams. Although, the leads' chemistry is cute cute cute! There are times when I feel like that the FML is not innocent however insensitive, although her development is good. I liked their character development (especially to SL's).

The music is really giving the LSS vibes. It's kind of redundant in the drama, but I don't really care because it somehow suits the scene.

Give it a try, especially when you’re watching angst films/dramas. It might help soothe your heart~ :D

Ok, so i read some of your reviews, and i dont understand why you guys are judging Jinmai's acting (the girl who plays Miao Miao). Her character was set up to be shy and timid, and I think she did an amazing job on acting the part. And I've seen many of her other shows and movies (tbh it wasn't even on purpose, it wasnt until this show that I realized I've watch so many of her things).

but anyways PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW.

sorry that it's not steamy like some of u perverts like, but it's meant to show the innocence of first love.
and im sure the only reason they didn't actually kiss, is because Guanlin is 18 and Jinmai is only 17. AND Guanlin probably didn't want to catch a case soooo i mean....

also stfu, it was the 1st time guanlin acted in a show like this, he's working hard to be better.
and Jinmai too, shes so pretty and and is a great actress, so before you judge her and call her acting bad, watch her other shows, she protrays her character perfectly.

thank u and stop hating on my favorite show atm... its the only thing making me not go insane in this quarantine time.

This drama was so cute! I really recommend this drama to someone who is looking for a light hearted c drama with not much melodrama (or any at all).

This c drama has themes of youth, popular guy and not so popular girl, high school, college, friendship, fashion, architecture, and the cutest little jealousy scenes ever!

Out of the probably 80 c dramas I’ve watched (and counted), this drama goes into my top 5 for c drama youth. This type of drama is exactly what I’m looking for when I think of a youth drama. And yes, there IS a happy ending!

Just keep in mind that the cast is 18 years or younger, so there isn’t much to the drama than your middle school romance lololol. Still recommend!

A premise you've, more likely than not, seen before, with countless recognizable plot devices and character tropes, A Little Thing Called First Love isn't the freshest show out there. Xia Miao Miao is a sweet but meek young girl who develops a huge crush on the golden boy, Liang You Nian, and you follow their lives within the school setting as they come of age. If you've seen this type of story and have loved it, then you'll probably at least enjoy its reiteration here. I'm on that boat. These tropes got me hook, line and sinker lol.

The thing that sort of rubbed me the wrong way in this production was how they handled the female lead's physical transformation in order to fit in with society's standards of beauty and to make her feel more worthy of the male lead. I appreciate how she learned to go after her own goals and actually became respected for skills, but her physical transformation was just a bit much for me with everyone encouraging her to undergo certain changes and then praising her when she finally fit in. The changes ARE gradual and can realistically showcase things a girl does as she grows up, but it's the conversations around it that could have been more tactful. Not a fan, but didn't pull me entirely away from the story.

The cast was a bit young for my taste, but I think they did a fine job for this being so early on in their careers. It's rare that you get actors playing a character OLDER than their actual age. You follow these characters into their early adulthood, which is a span of about six years throughout the 36 episodes, but I still find that a lot of the thoughts and actions they have when they are around 22 years old is similar to their mindset when they were 16. There's not a whole lot of character development for anyone except the female lead, and everyone has retained that immaturity they had when they were in high school. I'm giving them a high score just because they are too stinking cute, and I love the different relationships within their group dynamic. I didn't dislike any of the supporting characters. The lighthearted feel of this drama luckily doesn't call for profound acting ability. They're actually more natural than I expected, but I overall just thought that either the actors were too young or the characters were situationally older than they should have been.

Overall, just an adorable feel-good drama, with some promising young and newer faces.

If you don't want to suddenly derided your young self because it doesn't had such beautiful puppy first love romance turned true love then please don't watch this drama!! You'll regret it as your heart over flowing with sweetness but then you realize your teen already long left your life so cant experience such fairy tale anymore LOL
Yeah fairytale .. anyone have memory of the legendary Thai movie that you watched in school alongside your anime collection, A Little Thing Called First Love ? Aah even till today I cant forget how beautiful the actress was, truly a legendary glow up story XD.. So this drama is a remake from that movie. Honestly at first im not really excited as this remake is not the first one, so the plot line quite overused. But I decided to give it a try as the opening song is just so nice, and aah that the best decision ever, currently when writing this review, already rewatched the drama for the Nth time..
Contrary to my worry that the plot line is overused, the drama give a very fresh feeling. The casts, the setting, the fashion, the hairstyle, the ost even the story line though a remake, but written very thoughtfully that you dont want to miss any moments and always anticipated what will happen next.
Casts : 10/10 . Let just say how shocked I was to know that the leads just in their 17-18 years old, because their acting and chemistry is so moving ah! Angel Zhao's definitely able to perfectly potray her role from a super shy 'ugly duckling' ,to step by step become more confident and independent girl.. the feeling and facial expression just so spot on and her eyes always able to tug your heart string. Such natural born actress and she is still so young too. And Kuanlin is such perfect visual. His eye really beautiful ah.. Kuanlin's acting not perfect but he still able to potray the maturity and depth of Liang You Nian character. After this drama the bad-boy-is-my-type principle just crumbled away by the mature, kind but reserved Liang Shixiong O.o
The other casts is really lovable too, love the friendship mixed with love drama as its not so heavy but rather it give a push to everyone's story to really pursue the one you really love. I love all the couples, well though maybe i still not really like Kai Tao and i hope Xinxin give him more of hard time LoL.. And btw i cant believe they dont give A Xia a male partner at all, she is such a mother fairy and love doctor for everyone, she deserved her own romance, okay!
Fashion : 9.5/10 . This is one of important factor for the 'freshness' feel. I just love their style. As this is college drama, their clothes is casual wear. ML is so suave, his hair style is so perfect for him. FL, because have to empathize the glow up progress, have many different styles through the drama. My fav is the one with long, curly noodle hair, with casual stylish shirt and jeans. So cute!! But the queen is definitely He Xin, her white furry dress, that one a must have collection!
OST : 10/10. The opening song is one of ost that you dont want to skip in every eps, love the instrumental version too. And the one sung by Wang Yi Chou. All the osts just matching the scenes and the story perfectly.
The scenic views and unforgettable moments : This drama have it. I love how their story is started in light house and beach, that just nostalgic and poignant. And how i can recall many moments in this drama, that showed how touching it is. One of the example is when You Nian announce his relationship with MiaoMiao to public. And i love too how heartwrenching or intense scenes suddenly interrupted by comedy break .. that make this drama light hearted without much trying to be funny but still can give a moving undercurrent of the character's depth and emotion while not make us too sad.
Overall this drama is a fulfilling one for me with balanced romance, friendship, family and school life. And I think this give positive messeges too how love can make us better, but its still important to pursue our own dream and to love yourself so you can love other without burden because you love so helplessly and selflessly. Like ML for his family and FL and He Xin for their crush.
So this is definitely in my top of cdrama, one that you just cant but to watch again and again and still marvel how beautiful it is everytime..

I didn't think this would EVER end!

I fell asleep numerous times watching this, it was so drawn out, with SO MUCH unnecessary stuff. Every episode I was like, "Get to the point already!" So much of what happened was for the sole purpose of making this drama longer. Why, I have no idea. The story was a typical Chinese school story. Girl likes boy, boy might like girl but absolutely nothing happens between them until 3/4 of the way through the show,

I loved the male lead character. Aside from being gorgeous, he was a very nice guy and his smile was lovely. The female lead was actually scary looking at the beginning, but you got the impression that he might like her regardless of the hair and the braces, which was nice. During the short period of time they were actually together, they were cute, but they had the typical breakup storyline, and I felt it was more stupid than most. As usual, the ending was rushed.

Now, concerning the second couple, they were extremely irritating. He was a complete jerk to everyone, especially her. She was a stalker, in essence. I don't know in how many different ways he told her to go away, but no, she just kept coming back for more abuse. I think this sends a bad message. Stalking is never okay (so, it might not technically be stalking, but she was certainly following him around). This makes me think that her self-esteem is so low she has no business being in a relationship anyway. Then, once he decided her liked her (for what reason remains a mystery), she blows him off. Again, to make the show longer.

As far as the positives go, I did appreciate that the costume designers didn't put them in ridiculous clothes and that she actually wore jeans, which is a nice change to see.

This was the remake of the Thai movie which I loved back in the day. I have been looking forward to it ever since it was announced. Specially because Lai Guanlin will act for the first time in a series.

The story was faithful to the original movie. The pivotal scenes where showed like pool scene. There was a special ‘tribute’ to the original that somehow gave me a new and refreshing feels about this new version.

It was fun to watch specially because of the cast. They were young/new actors/actress and their new faces added to the freshness of the series. I never knew Zhao Jinmai before but in the mid of the series I remember that she was part of The Wandering Earth cast. Her acting in this series is very natural. She’s so cute and fun to watch. The others like the ones who play Kaituo and Xin are also commendable. Both played a strong character and they have executes it beautifully. ????????

The OST is good also. Definitely rewatchable! ????

The only thing that i got tired of was some very slow motion motion scenes they made me skip a bit because it was too much for me. Hehe! ????

It's rare to come across a drama that is as cute as this one without there being some sort of downside, but this show is just all around adorable. The story is well done, the actor/actresses all do a good job and it gives you a decent picture of young love without making it too sweet or too angsty. It feels very natural.

Though there are a few side characters that I would have been happy to have seen a bit less of, every character added to the show in their own way and created a world that is both familiar and new.

I love this show and was especially impressed with the Male Lead. I think this is his first lead role and he absolutely nailed the character. He carried the entire series as if he'd done it many times.

I highly recommend this drama if you are looking for something light and cute with a sweet romance.

No comparison to ALSB

This will only contain minor spoilers!
I am not sure how I finished this drama. It is no comparison to other school/Univeristy dramas like A love so beautiful and Put your head on my shoulder, the male lead was awful, good looking but could not act while the female lead is young she was ok. There was zero chemistry between them. They liked each other from the beginning but took around 30 episodes/3-4 years to get together. By the time they do get together they are 20 or so but behaved like very young teens. They hide their relationship and separate for a year all in the last few episodes so you hardly get to see any sweet moments. The change in the FL jumped, dramatically at times, from dark skinned to pale, her dress sense from jeans and jumpers to wearing blazers! Their were 2 other couples which were fillers and not overly interesting. The only reason why I didnt drop this drama was because i didn't have anything else to watch at the time, next time I feel this way i will rewatch a good drama and not waste my time!
