Uma Coisinha Chamada Primeiro Amor (2019)

the cutest thing

i think this is my new favorite c-drama! i’m getting that empty feeling you get when you finish a show (lol). so this drama is your classic story of first love. although at times the story gets a little embarrassing or strange, i believe it was entertaining throughout.
despite the romance being very youthful, i think it was refreshing to see high school/college characters being played by actual teenagers and not 30 year olds! i liked both the male and female lead (i must admit the acting was little stiff from the male lead but i think it was his first drama). what i especially liked from the male lead was his character wasn’t a total a**hole like most male leads
are. thankfully it didn’t fall into the cliche where the female lead is hopelessly chasing after the cold-hearted male lead while a way more competent second male lead watches (i’m so tired of this typical school drama trope). the female lead has some great growth from being super timid to confident (without relying on her bf or friends!)
i think it was clear that the male and female lead liked each other equally (aww). although their love story is slow (i personally love a good slow burn), i think the scenes when they started dating were so cute. it makes you want to replay them over and over again! i’m not a fan of the slow-no tho. the side characters all had interesting stories, but i was not a fan of the constant fat-shaming of one of the friends. in addition, the way they made the female lead change her appearance so much (even portraying darker skin as ugly) was not fun to watch. i understand the beauty standards are different, but this took away some of the enjoyment of watching the show.

disappointed with the ML

first of all, the atmosphere of the college universe of this series was really good, it was one of the reasons why I continued to watch the series. but the male lead's interest in the female lead was never for me.. it was so fake / not even fake, it was like he wasn't interested at all. or we could call it no chemistry.
time lapses are one of the things i hate in dramas, unfortunately this drama also used it and i think it screwed up the whole story..
a love that lasted so many years and as a result a very simple love story did not suit.. sorry for xia miao miao

"Xue Zhang" (o-o) ~Miao Maio

This is a super cute High school/college romance Cdrama. It follows the plot of many other cliche dramas- the girl is shy 'ugly' unintelligent, whilst the male is tall handsome popular smart. But what makes this drama different from other is that the female lead is not overly obsessed with the male, she becomes more independent.

I really liked the leads cute shy interactions with each other before they dated. Kuan Lin acting still isn't top-notch, which can be seen in some scenes where he doesn't portray enough emotion, especially in sad scenes. Angel Zhao did a splendid job, she expressed her emotions well. They had good chemistry together. Heads up- if you're expecting a kiss scene: well sadly there are none at all in this drama, the most is a peck on the cheeks. This is understandable since Angel Zhao was 16 and Kuan Lin was 17.

The OST is super good! I love their intro song, the lyrics is really cute, and relates well to the plot.

I would definitely watch if season two comes!

Yeah, it's a typical handsome brainy guy and a not so attractive girl story. But I really liked their chemistry together. I wish Lai Guan Lin had more facial expressions, but his smile melts my heart anyway. I was a bit disappointed by how the drama ended - It was nothing special in my opinion, but if there'll be a season 2, I'd still watch it. :) I also liked that Miao Miao, physical transformation was gradual and that there was always something that triggered the change. I am a bit irritated by the "advertisements" of the skin care products, felt it was too much. But hey, that's just me. :)

Nothing new in the story ,same like other chinese or korean dramas . College life ,friends ,their friendship ,their hardship and love but still the drama have its flavour though it has similarities but still it shows uniqueness . Everybody did a great job . Beautiful thing in this drama is that they didnot tangled much with the love triangle , sometime love triangle also make viewers so sad that they unable to focus on further episodes . Sometimes it is good to be to ,"Let it go". Lyrics of the song also nice . Liang you looked so handsome and cute ,his smike i like a lot . One thing they focus on the matter that sometime parents force a lot to their child about their education field ,they forced their choice to them (their kid) ,they donot understand that they are ruiningbtheir child carrier .may such thing brings money but not happiness ,satisfaction and peace . I like this dama .it is not at all boring.

Another Good very sweet School Drama

Another Asian School drama, but we can't seem to get enough of them. Very cute, great ML & FL chemistry. when the ML smiles, he really lights up the screen. One of the few dramas where the ML starts off as a really nice guy and not a jerk. But man, what a sweet heart he is. The FL is painfully shy, but her character grows nicely as the drama progresses. I love her BFF's. I also love the side story with the teachers, chasing after each other as well. Its PG13, so the kisses will also be very innocent, but honestly, it was still very intimate. Brought back memories of what it was like to be so young and in love with your crush.
The OST is pretty good, My favorite song, (think its most people's favorite too) for end credits and was also used to do the "Jealousy Truck Painting scene" was sung by WANG BOWEN. The dorky best friend in the drama. He's got such a great voice and that song has such a great "heart beat". Just a little surprise trivia for people who didn't notice.
Highly recommend, I would re-watch it again.

Sweet, Cute and fun to watch

A Little Thing Called First love, I enjoyed watching this drama. It was sweet, cute and the characters all seemed very innocent. The main Female and Male lead were so cute and I enjoyed how there friendship grew and how they felt about each other. The story is about the female lead moving into a new town. She see's the male lead go by on his bike and he is cute, but not only that he is very nice to everyone. He was willing to help others, and was nice to people. As the drama unfolds she develops feelings for him and it shows how these two become friends, and care for one another. The thing I liked about the drama is the female lead kept making changes to her appearance and actually tried to do better at things she didn't know. She was willing to put in the time and effort into doing whatever she was assigned or trying to accomplish.

When the drama first started her teeth were croaked, wore glasses and was suntan. As time goes on she eventually get braces, and wears contacts, and because she isn't in the sun as much starts taking better care of her skin. All of these to me is part of growing up. You see plenty of kids in middle and High school getting braces and wearing contacts. Each time she did it was because wanted to do better.

I also like that she changed her major in college even though she had the same major as the male lead you would of thought she would stay there but instead she went after what she likes to do which is fashion designer. It seems throughout the drama she was doing things to get closer to the male lead, but for each thing she did she actually did something better for herself.

The friendships between the female lead and her friends and the male lead and his friends was also nice. The girls especially tried to always be there for the other and I just loved when they were together. The 2nd leads(couple were also cute with the way they acted towards each other) :)

This drama had me smiling, and when I was watching and epside as soon as it was done I would watch another because it was so cute . Highly recommend this to someone that enjoys fluff and high school/college themed drama's, and enjoy friendships.

Cute show

This was a cute show.

However... it is like a lot of other cdramas/kdramas... ok just about any drama. In most dramas (including in the US) there is always a reason for the main leads to break up close to the end of the show. Sometimes it is for stupid reasons and sometimes a valid reason (but not always?). It drives me nuts! And this show was no exception. Sometimes I just want to see people be realistic and learn to trust one another and work things through together. Just like the main lead said when she broke up with him. ??‍♀️

As for the story line, that was my main hang up. ?The acting was good. The music was good also.

Would I rewatch it? I would have to see.

THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL!

Actually liked this one very much, one on my fave list! A little thing called first love, is practically what the title is. An adorable story about the female lead and her first crush. Everyone experiences that in their lifetime, right? It can make you think back on your own first crush, I know watching this made me reminisce a little bit (lol). It’s a sweet and innocent story of young love, that usually reels me in about these dramas. I liked the stages in life shown for both female and male leads, how they become good friends, how they mature in life and discover their own self growth. The high school and college setting is always a plus for me, too. One of my first C-Dramas on Netflix. Worth the watch! Enjoy!

Simple and Sweet Slice-of-LIfe

For a drama in which very little happens, A Little Thing Called First Love is surprisingly refreshing in its simplicity. While this drama follows the overused story of an awkward girl whose love for the popular boy spans high school and college, it breaks the mold by keeping the plot and conflicts uncomplicated, deviating from the traditional cliches.

Instead of having an overnight transformation that sends the message that confidence is tied to outer appearances, the leading female goes from awkward, fashion-challenged high school junior to confident, attractive fashion student gradually, each step of her transformation having an explanation (e.g. gets braces after being made fun of for her teeth) and resulting in a slight increase in her confidence.

The leading male is stereotypically perfect at everything, but he has not been placed on a pedestal. He still has his many admirers, but gone are the ridiculous slow-motion entrances and swarms of fan girls who squee whenever he enters a room. He's also friendly, engaging, and down-to-earth, so the friendship he forms with the leading female, even in her awkward years, feels natural and believable, unlike the dramas where the leading male is aloof and seemingly out of reach.

Also absent from this drama is the b****y female rival whose sole purpose is to act excessively jealous and cause conflict between the leading couple. While there are a few fangirls who act poorly out of jealousy, their actions are not a major source of conflict, and their roles are so minor in the drama that it is not excessively annoying. Additionally, this drama challenges our expectations by introducing a woman who seems like the perfect rival to the leading female, but rather than scheming and chasing after the leading male, she admits defeat with grace and maintains her friendship with the leading lady.

The friendships in this drama are to be commended, too. The main group of woman are loyal to one another, and even when a boy comes between them, they maturely communicate that they do not place blame on their friends and request for time to themselves to think and process their emotions before returning to the friendship. The relationship among the men is a bit more complicated, but like the women, they remain loyal and supportive to each other, even when they are at odds.

Many are likely to find this drama boring, which is understandable given the lack of drama and conflict, but the absence of those elements also make it the perfect drama for someone looking for a a light and fluffy romance.
