Minha Confusão de Amor! (2021)

A fluffy chocolate cupcake!

Taking you to the feeling of eating a fluffy cupcake, with only smiles and giggles to come by, Kieta Hatsukoi is a chill but really enjoyable watch. It is humorous, witty, but warm and heartfelt.

The four main actors brought phenomenal performances as each upholds to the characters they are portraying. Hats off to Shunsuke and Riko!

The story accomplished what it promised giving out hunger for the audience to come back and indulge once again to the beauty of young love.

Moreover, the theme songs are worth to sing along, too! With Snow Man's Secret Touch alluding to Ida's calm but sure love for Aoki and Naniwa Danshi's Ubu LOVE reflecting to the latter's brightness and lightheartedness, a perfection is up on your way!

Kieta Hatsukoi is an absolute tread to the growing sensation of BL genre!

Overall Enjoyable BL

This is one of my first BLs so I can't comment much on it as a BL, but the storyline is not the most creative, the usual high school setting. However, I did like the style of acting in Aoki (exaggerated expressions) as I thought it was quite cute. I love love love the ending song, 'Secret Touch' by Snow Man. There wasn't any particularly impressive acting throughout the series but it was passable imo, lines are not as forced as some of the BLs I've watched. I just wish that it was a little longer so they could maybe get into the backstories of the characters a little more (family etc.)

All in all, Kieta Hatsukoi is a relatively lighthearted and cute drama that I would watch again just to squeal at the sweet romance:)

the best wholesome drama

It has been over a month since this drama ended and I cannot stop thinking about it, thats how good this drama is. Highly recommend!
Every character is so well developed which makes a lot of sense considering that Kieta Hatsukoi is adapted from a manga series. I so badly wish we could get a season 2 but that is probably really unlikely but a girl can dream.
This is my first time not only watching a Jdrama but one that is also BL and it exceeded any expectation I had. Kieta Hatsukoi is a really lighthearted, fun, comedic and wholesome drama about miscommunication, love and friendship.
When researching BL dramas Vs. GL dramas, I wish really surprised at how little GL dramas there are compared to BL. Now it just makes me wish for GL dramas like Kieta Hatsukoi,

Finding ones true self

Im kidna dumb founded on this drama don't get me wrong it was excellent in more ways than one.
The cast did an exceptional job portraying there characters and bringing them to life.
Its not your typical BL where they like each other and the relationship advances from kiss to sex.
This is more about Aoki and Ida finding themselves and being conformable in their own body....
Its starts with Aoki liking hashimoto(FL) and borrows her eraser only to find out she likes Ida.. Ida see the eraser and while he cant tell him its hers, he says its his and Ida looks confused to this. Being the nice guy he is, he trys to push FL with Ida many times, but instead he realizes he likes Ida. Aoki friend akkun"Aida" also trys to help, but becomes friends with them. The big surprise is when aoki tell FL he's starting to like Ida and she tells him likes "Aida" not Ida due to eraser being used. Now a new friendship begins with everyone helping each other find love in themselves. As aoki help FL confess to Aida. The boys start dating as Ida isnt sure if he likes him this way as both have never dated or thought about a male partner.
This drama takes you thru the good and bad misunderstanding as Ida is the guy that when pressured always says yes and is quite and doesn't speak his mind.
Aoki is the opposite he speaks his mind, is funny always willing to help others, but has Insecurities about their relationship. We now watch as Both relationships progresses.
A must see

I Just Want To Put Aoki In My Pocket

I'm just casually crying about the cutest LGBTQ+ Japanese show. They're really hitting all the nails.

The main guy is such a cutie relatable awkward cupcake. He's such a mood and him freaking out about all kinds of stuff and being super dramatic is just so funny. He's really that anxious little puppy that overthinks everything.

When both him and his best female friend thought they liked the same person, she reacted soo amazing. She literally was like LET'S GUSH ABOUT OUR MUTUAL CRUSH. She didn't even bat her eye when his crush was a guy.

His male best friend initially was like I didn't know you were like that and the moment he said that he was like at this moment he knew he fucked up. But baby Aoki was like yeah isn't it kind of weird that I like a guy, which had the male best friend like OMG NOOOO IT IS TOTALLY OKAY. He was just surprised but supported him immediately.

Besides, the love interest is the most precious thoughtful person ever.

Also, Aoki was getting tutored by like a University student that was like an aid to his class. They were getting along very well until the tutor saw Aoki holding hands with Ida, his boyfriend/love interest. So he then was like OMG AOKI MUST LIKE ME BECAUSE EVERYONE WHO IS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE OF THE SAME SEX/GENDER MUST BE INTO EVERYONE OF THE SAME GENDER. He suddenly acted different and was saying all kinds of bullshit such as I'm not like that, which already had all of Aoki's friends and his boyfriend hella mad. But that tutor went even further when he saw Aoki giving directions to an older man to his hotel, for which the old man wanted to compensate him, which had the tutor like AOKI DON'T SELL YOUR BODY LIKE THAT. Precious awkward munchkin was like BITCH WTF and gave him crap for his retarded thinking which ultimately made the tutor realise how wrong he was thus he apologised.

I really like how supportive this show is and cancelling all those toxic stereotypes of queer people

The ending was just so full circle and darn cute. I just fucking loved this so much.

Love story started from an eraser?

Not even a single kissing scene, but it will surely make you fall in love. Aoki was the cueeetesst in the world(I'm 100% confident about that) I can't even find any actors this much cute. This series helped me a lot to reduce my stress and made me smile whenever i watch aoki. Infact all the actors were really cute to the point that, we can't take our eyes off from them. There friendship, love, relationship everything was ON. And the songs, both the songs were amazing.( Don't forget to watch the snowman ost from utub) Ida and aoki had a really good chemistry and that makes this more fun to watch.

I will rewatch it whenever I need to be reminded that Life is beautiful!

Kieta Hatsukoi is a slow burn no doubt but a soothing and heart warming one. I have rarely enjoyed any high school drama this much. The actors (including the supporting ones) were perfectly cast and they acted brilliantly. Special mention to the lead couple and their expressions.
Its a simple high school drama about 4 students finding love. Ida and Aoki's relationship starts with a misunderstanding but soon becomes too real for Aoki and Ida is unsure yet hesitant to let go. So begins the journey of exploration of emotions and one's self. All through this they respected eachother's boundary and took the yes and nos with patience. Meanwhile their ever supporting friends guided them and helped them in whatever way they could to realize eachother's true emotions. Even the friends never did anything cringe worthy. The support characters helped the plot move forward. The makers also touched upon the subject of prejudice that same-sex couples face and that was a surprise as generally in BLs they tend to avoid such serious issues. But it was shown in a lighter way and it made me very happy that they did. I am all for rosey romance but would like them to further the cause of the LGBTQ+ communities. The Osts were just perfect and I have listended to them non stop. The drama managed to transport me to my highschool days.
On the negatives, the series in the middle episodes felt a bit dragging. We were seeing the same confusions being played out for couple episodes in a row and it felt a tad bit drawn out for me. Either the makers could put more content or cut the series short.
All in all Kieta Hatsukoi is a feel good drama that shows respect, patience, perseverance and pure love. I will rewatch it whenever I need to be reminded that Life is beautiful with love and innocence in it!

I really want to scream and tell everyone that this is my most favorite series of 2021 so far!!! I added the word ‘so far’ because I still have several “currently watching” series on my watchlist.

I don’t know where to start, but this series succeeded pulling my self out for any other series that I’ve been following at that time. I fell in love from the pilot till the season finale.

I really don’t mind about how stupid they are as a teenagers who fall in love at their very first time, weren’t we all? the naivety of all characters made this series easily to be fond of precisely lol

Well, let’s count the days till all of my series ended. Will it still be on my first spot?

Petite douceur assumée

Vous savez ces dramas qui ont un pouvoir d'attraction inexplicable ? Kieta Hatsukoi était l'un de ceux-là pour moi.
Un casting parfait, une intrigue mignonne, une belle photographie et une bande son légère. À peine avait-il commencé que j'étais prise dans les filets de cette vraie douceur japonaise.

Aoki est adorable dans la peau du lycéen maladroit. Ses expressions sont extrapolées (ce qui m'empêche d'être pleinement satisfaite sur ce point), mais elles renforcent ses maladresses. Il a l'art et la manière de mettre les pieds dans le plat et toutes ces petites choses ne font que le rendre plus attachant. Bien sûr, on pourra bouder un manque de développement sur ses sentiments.
Ida est charmant et un personnage de peu de mots. Il est de ces personnes qui semble détaché de tout, alors qu'en réalité, lorsqu'il s'attache à quelqu'un, il donne tout ce qu'a et s'intéresse sincèrement à Aoki. Or, tout comme Aoki, on peut remarquer un manque de développement, mais encore une fois, j'ai plié le genoux face au duo.

Pourtant, au travers de ces personnages qui semblent clichés, le drama prend des directions différentes. Dont les doutes d'aimer une personne du même sexe. On découvre les interrogations et les craintes. Les personnages ne sont pas parfaits, mais c'est ce qui rend l'ensemble plus réaliste à mes yeux.
Ce n'est pas parfait, ce n'est pas non plus le BL japonais typique, il dégage autre chose. Le fait d'aborder ces thèmes plus sérieux alors qu'aux premiers abords on pourrait penser qu'il s'agit d'un nouveau BL japonais tout doux ne fait que renforcer l'affection pour Kieta Hatsukoi.

Bien que le drama se termine sur sa pointe de précipitation, il n'enlève en rien les bons moments que j'ai passé. Je ne pense pas me tromper en disant que c'est l'un des meilleurs BL de 2021.

There is absolutely nothing I would change about this series.

Aspects I find especially outstanding:
* The class: Even the background characters had their own personality. They weren't just there, the actors seemed to know what their characters were like at any time. I found myself rewinding some scenes just to watch them doing their thing in the background. There's not only our favourite drama couple (the original Cinderella & her prince) but also look out for: the guy who alsways has his little notebook with him, the foodie, the two boys playing games... I would actually watch a second series just to see what they were all up to during the whole relationship drama of Aoki and Ida. (The same is true for the volleyball team btw.)

* The whole atmosphere in the class. It reminded me of my own last two years of school. We had much less dramatics, or at least I wasn't aware of any, but this is what it can be like if young people are allowed to be whoever they are and respect that about each other.

* I liked every single character in this show. Yes, even the student teacher. They were all genuinely trying to understand and to grow.

* The friendship between Aoki and Hashimoto. Hashimoto could easily have been that stereotypical love rival but she wasn't. I love how we gradually get to discover that she is more than just a timid or shy girl.

* I haven't even said anything about the two main leads. They earnestly try to discover how they feel and what to do about it. I like how the drama focuses on the awkwardness of trying to figure out who you can be as a romantic partner, and what you want your partner to be like. I remember being this awkward at 16 and 17, so for me, it's actually quite an accurate portayal of a first love, if a bit exaggerated -- but it IS a Japanese show and adapted from a manga, so it is kind of expected.

Overall, this little series has become of my favourites, and is one of the series I choose to watch if I need a pick-me-up.
