First Love for the Third Time (2022)

Good drama for the "in-between"

If you're in between dramas, meaning running out of drama to watch or need a break from usual plot, this could be a nice filler during that time

Its nice to watch short drama, especially if you're tired of the dragging from Kdramas or the "take forever to confess" storyline in BL, or just general toxicity in BL.

Its cool to actually see couple progress fast enough in this drama.

I love how it's short and sweet. The couple is REALLY sweet.

I've enjoyed most episodes, but found that it's a bit rushed towards the ending. Last 2 episodes are somewhat hasty, especially episode 6

But, given at how short the drama is, they have done well.

An enjoyable series

This series had quite an intriguing plot, it was short but very entertaining.
The story was beyond fresh and amazing, the acting and chemistry among the 2 characters were also amazing.
Even though both of them start liking each other at first, we can agree that the dominant one fell first and I'm someone who usually likes that.
It started off kind of sad with one showing dislike to the other but he eventually got to like him, it was exciting to see that process.
I also loved the fact that there was another person in the story ( a rival) it really spiced up the story a bit more and made everything a bit more interesting.
Overall, it was a great series, the acting and the story was my most favourite thing of all...

A Warm Feeling Story

While this series was short and sweet (mostly), I enjoyed watching it.

The storyline was a bit different, the actors had great chemistry, the tears were emotional, as was the struggle to find out the one you were looking for was also a male. I also enjoyed the songs.

This was not a heavy hitting drama, no disapproving parents, no jealous girlfriend, no fighting, in other words it's not a passionate drama love story, but it conveys what it is intended to convey. So if you are looking for a short series with just a simple, but good storyline, you will enjoy this; as I did.

I am sure I will watch this again someday, but not real soon.

I feel Jeong Ha Yeon deserves better

I felt first love again was an okay shows here’s why, it reminds me of UWMA (Until we meet again) which is also based on reincarnation, but it kinda was confusing at times with the many different time changes and mainly the first two out of six were about Yeon Seok’s past lives with Jeong Ha Yeon (female version) in which she dies before him in both two lives and on the third life is when he meets the male version of Jeong Ha Yeon in a restaurant because his fox (Sin Bi) told him that Ha Yeon would be there, but he was stunned that he was a man and suddenly didn’t like Ha Yeon anymore which I felt was weird then Yeon Seok was parked with Ha Yeon since he became someone who can help him figure out how to write his novel as a fan. So, at first he was very rude to Ha Yeon and then soon started to become nicer to the point he caught feelings for him. Until he saw Ha Yeon’s sister who is the female version of Ha Yeon so he started to become confused. One of Ha Yeons friend from America who is part of the baseball team is Jin Hyeok and he also has feelings for Ha Yeon and wanted to confess to him, but Yeon Seok already beat him to it. I do feel that Jin Hyeok should’ve ended up with Ha Yeon because they seemed to have so much chemistry in the 5 minutes they were together than with Yeon Seok, and he kind of hurt Ha Yeon for not telling him that he was his past lovers so he became confused on if he liked his sister or him. I know my review isn’t that good, but I feel it has its pros and cons. I do recommend this because of how cute Ha Yeon is.

Has all the highs and lows of korean BLs

I loved this?! Why, though? It's Kissable Lips all over again!!! Premise is very interesting and unique (for a BL), execution is lacking. Most of its weaknesses can be atributed to insufficient runtime.


What I liked:

1. Pretty to look at, pretty sounding, emotionally devastating at times. Basically the same as most korean BLs I've ever watched (no shade intended (?), but I still can't comprehend how Ocean Likes Me can be korean drama)

2. Main actor (Jeon Chang Ha) was so beautiful I wanted to cry just looking at him 💜

3. The story wasn't overdramatically unbelievable despite the premise. This one sounds weird, but hear me out. I'm sure many of you know UWMA. And while the show has done a lot of things well, it was also too much whenever they tried to use the "fateful connection" device. Almost cringey. I couldn't even get emotional during most of those moments (and I was lowkey traumatized by the opening scene for weeks). So while this story uses the same "string of fate" idea, it does it in a way that's easier to believe and relate to.

4. Leads have refreshingly open conversations. I know there is still some miscommunication involved, but compared to many other BLs, they actually voice their feelings!!!


What I didn't like:

1. Whoever voiced Jeong Ha Yeon's inner monologue sounded absolutely emotionless. Mostly tired. Almost like a robot. And some of those lines should have been pretty soul-crushing imo.

2. The ending was rushed. As expected. It's just too little time to progress through such conflict at good pacing, but I would have preffered them rushing the "before together" part, if it meant having at least one more episode's worth of screentime after the revelation.

3. SPOILER : The side guy was unnecessary. He wasn't a good rival. I'm still conflicted whether he even loved the ML, or was just a good, protective friend. END OF SPOILER


Overall feelings:

It's not perfect. It could be disappointing if you were looking forward to it based on the premise. But I stumbled on it when I was stressed, binged it at night and had a pretty great time!! Will rewatch ifwhen they make a movie out of it.

My Review

What I like about this series are it's strengths.

1. I love fantasy stories. This one is a fantasy meeting the reality.

2. Actors are not familiar to me but I don't mind. Now I want to learn more about them since I'm done watching. Acting is just right for me. I laughed at Jin Gun and I cried at Jeon Chang Ha. Actually to both of them. 😄🤧🤧🤧. Acting is kinda cool..Episode 6 timestamp 12:40 really killed me!

3. The musical scoring is simple yet on point.

4. It may have a different impact for other viewers or they may agree but for those who had this kind of situation would know what I mean. The kind of love that is heartbreaking but awesome! 😁😉. See? I don't even know what I'm saying. Hahaha...

5. I am going to watch it again and again.

I guess the only downside of the series is that this is way too short to finish. That could have been the reason why the ratings declined as I see them today. I am used of watching Thai BL series that is over 10 episodes. And maybe if the storyline got stretched a bit, it would give more of the actors an avenue to shows more of their acting skills. They deserve a season 2 if they want to prove it or maybe a new series. A Romantic Comedy. And of course! MIKAEL! LOVE UR CURLY HAIR 😉😁

Did I say too much? Hehehe..

Congratulations to you guys!!! I hope to see you in person Jin Gun and Jeon Chang Ha.

HORRIBLE STORY

PAUNAWA, ANG MGA MABABASA NYO AY OPINION KO LAMANG; LOVE LANG PO, WALA PO AKONG INTENSYON MASAMA
CHIKA LANG TO AS A FRIEND ❤

Hi Guys Share ko lang, pinapanood ko kase yung kaka tapos lang na K BL ngayon na FIRST LOVE AGAIN.
Sa una nag enjoy naman ako kase napansin ko kaagad yung husay sa pag acting nung bida, yung top (para magets nyo agad) as in para syang yung mga male lead sa mga romcom na kdrama yung very serious pero nakakatawa ( well sa dame na ng kdrama na napanood ko ) and ang wish ko sa career nya sana mag karoon pa sya ng another project yung romcom na straight drama kase I think mas bagay nya yon pero syempre as a BL fan , mas gusto ko na BL ulit, pero kase nakikita ko talaga yung chance sa kanya, basta I love his acting.
Sa editing naman, I mean yung dating nung bawat series, annganda!, yung effects, yung kanta, background, set ups, yung places kitang kitang ginastusan at ginalingan talaga wala ako masasabe don, baksu !👏👏👏,
Saka si ate gurl na nine tailed fox galing nya don umarte good job ! Di talaga mawawala yung mga ganung Y gurls sa mga BL wahaahha..❤🤗

So ito na nga, don naman tayo sa isang male lead yung bottom ( hahah diko kase alam kung pano ko sya i aaddress ng tama pero I think in this way mas magegets nating lahat) sorry guys pero I think hindi sya bagay don sa top, wala talaga akong ma feel na chemistry, wala akong mafeel na kilig, and yung kiss nila di ako masyado kinilig. Sorry talaga, diko alam sa kung anung reason pero in MY OPINION, sa dame ko na napanood na kdrama, ( I am kdrama fan since 2019, BL fan since 2020) at BL makakabisado mo talaga ee magiging expert expertan ka ee diba, hahaha sana nagegets nyo, and for me, medyo down sila sa picking ng right tamdem dito sa drama na to. I am not saying na hindi good looking ahh, well in fact apaka pogi nga non at saka very baby face. Also yung acting den nitong si bebe boy bottom, mejo hindi sya nag mamatch sa acting na binibigay ni Kuya Top, like ganon ganon lang sya pero yung isa very nagagalingan ako at very binibigay talaga yung best acting. Sorry about that sa mga fans nyaa..Wala akong intension mang bash huh love love lang tayo, I am telling this sa whole ness ng series . So yon for me di talaga match.
And ito pa sorry,diko natanggap yung story na diba sa past life nila babae yung bottom, and on the present lalaki na sya and her face became her sister in present?? Diba hahah, si kuya Top confused na confused, papaano nga naman yon diba, sana di nalang ginawang ganon diba , sana ibang tao nalang like totally wala na yung feslak na yon nung gurl. And ang masaklap pa nagmeet silang apat don sa bahay nung bebe boy bottom, so naisip ko lang hindi ba na awkward-an si kuya Top don? Kase yung babaeng mahal nya, I mean yung face nung babaeng mahal nya for so many years ay mukha na ng ate nung mahal nya ngayon hahahah.. sorry, off sakin talaga its so wierd.
And I decided na di nalang tapusin yung series kase diko na sya matake pa. Share ko lang. Well sarili ko lang namang opinion to, like sino ba naman ako diba.
For those who watched it and finished and loved the drama , good for you guys ! Desurv nila yan kase they worked hard para mabigyan tayo ng saya as a BL FAN ..
yun lang Baksu 👏👏👏👏 ( wala kase ako kausap here sa bahay so share ko nalang dito you are all my friends naman ❤)
K bye.

Don't judge the book by it's cover 2.0

I am a picky viewer and i rarely give high scores, but this series made my heart, mind and soul unstable. Trust me, this series is an A+. it just started but given the fact that the 1st ep is wonderful i already know that the upcoming eps will be great. Face Value is an A, Characters is an A, Story line an A+, the music A, and of course it is a Korean Series so i do expect an A in/to the chemistry of the MC's.

Since this review need 500 words...

Hello Im Yurie! This is my 1st time to write a review but i do critique a lot. First of all, i want you to know the plot. I will not tell the plot but i am going to give you insights a bit. I love how the magical creature play its role because i believe that if that creature is not present the story will be boring. This character really plays a big role to the story most importantly to the couple. The couple is amazing, i define the Top as a cute guy and the Bottom as a handsome guy. At first, i was very hesitant to watch the series because i define the Top as an ugly Character. Now, i have crush on him HAHA. Now you guys know my type. Back to the topic, i will not queestion the bottom since he is amazing already. I think so far, everything is good as long as the writer and the director will stick to its core. Now, i come to a conclusion that, you should watch it first. To the person who gave small rating, poor you.
