The Journey of FIRST LOVE
(As narrated in the Korean TV Series Reply 1997)

First Love. The reason why we think first love is beautiful is not because people we first love were actually handsome and pretty. It's because we were unconditional, innocent, or a bit stupid at the time of first love. And because... we know that we can never go back to that young, passionate time of our days.

First Love is a bit rash. Without any calculation, we throw ourselves with passion and finally came to face failures. But it is at the same time dramatic. It comes with inexplicable feelings that we never get to experience again. So first love becomes the most dramatic moment of our lives. It's okay to fail. Tragic stories stays longer than "happily ever after". It's nice to have that wonderful story as one chapter of one's life.

First Love is a period of time. It never comes back. If the next love comes, time has to yield for that new love. It might not be as innocent as (your) first love, but it would be a little more mature, due to the pain suffered with the first love.

A person who dreams of love, is the one who waits. And a person who waits can recognize the love when it comes near him.

After the romance, the real life comes. Innocence gets dirty, passion gets cold, and youth gets old with cleverness. So first love becomes part of one's exhausted daily life. That's why first love looks like it can't be accomplished. Because no one talks about a successful romance with first loves.

Thus, it's (okay if you did not end up with your first love. There's too many kinds of love anyway).

PS. I just made the title. The contents thigh were exactly the same in the series except those inside the parenthesis. I just added them to give complete thought.
