about first love
Recently, the Japanese TV series "First Love" has been widely circulated on the Internet, and I also fell into the trap under the recommendation of many people.
"First Love" is a Japanese TV series, which is also broadcast on Netflix. In the TV trailer, Utada Hikaru's songs are played. It seems to go back to the past. I thought it was an old movie, but I didn't expect it to be This year's new film, I thought, the recommendation of others must be reasonable, maybe I can watch it. So I clicked in and started chasing the drama.
Watching Japanese dramas in the past is very different from watching Korean dramas, especially the compactness of the plot. Japanese dramas are usually slow and elegant, sometimes a bit dull, while Korean dramas are bright, humorous and friendly, so I always hesitate when choosing to watch Japanese dramas. After all, I only want to watch dramas that are light and unburdened, as a way to rest. But this "First Love" gave me the urge to continue watching.
*****Some spoilers below******
At the beginning, I couldn't grasp the direction and movement of the plot, especially the expression of the heroine. Although she was working, she couldn't see the enthusiasm, and neither did the hero. It seemed that their life was not going the way I expected, so I began to wonder if it was the same for me.
I thought: When we watch dramas broadcast on TV, other people's lives are played in it, and we do the same job every day. On the other hand, we ourselves seem to be living a similar life, but who is watching us? Is there someone watching our lives and thinking like I am: This person's life is really boring?
Watching this drama, I can also see the throbbing, interesting things or worrying about each other's love between lovers. I worry that I am not the number one in the other's heart and feel lost and trembling. I am afraid that he will empathize and fall in love. embraced by others. Even if you get married, it may not be smooth sailing, and there will be storms and waves in the marriage. Sometimes it is not necessarily the parties involved, and even the parents may become a virus in the marriage.
These are always as realistic as real life, but the more realistic they are, the closer they are to our daily life, which makes them more moving.
Although the plot is not compact, it can bring the audience into the story, and follow the characters' walks to recall the past, as if they are also falling in love in the plot.
The later episodes of this drama are more touching. At the beginning, I felt a little boring, but the more I watched it, the more I felt back to the past. Maybe it’s because the age is similar? I don't think it should be, but some emotions inside are stirred up, something warm and faint rises from the deepest part of my heart.
Or maybe I was affected by the emotions of the protagonists, apart from being sorry for them, I also feel a little bit of pity, I always hope that the development of things should not be like this. However, does the plot as I wish mean that everything can be happy?
The narrative method of the play is neither a flashback nor a forward narration. Instead, it goes back to the past and reality with the plot. In these interweavings, I saw the tragedy happen and the love became stronger and stronger. They were all cried by being "warm" and also cried by "pain". Thinking about it, the life of watching dramas is really a bit ridiculous.
In the play, I saw the hotline at night when the hero and heroine started dating, which reminded me of when I was in love, I was like them in the play, connecting the phone line to the upstairs room, holding on to the phone, afraid of missing it each other's words. The feeling of first love is like a pot of hot water burning on a gas stove, gradually boiling hot.
The first love drama reminds me of my first love, sweet and sour, but also with a little sadness, watching it, the eye sockets can't help but heat up, why do I feel melancholy, why do I feel sad? Maybe first love is not only sweet, but also painful. Just like a plot, two people who are in love may not be together in the end, and they will always be separated due to certain circumstances. As far as I know, the chances of the first love still being together in the end are too small. At least mine didn't.
Sometimes watching the plot in the play, it seems that there is a small piece of emptiness in my heart, with a prickling and painful feeling, as if the memory of my first love touched me again, and unspeakable emotions are projected on me through such a plot. In the pupils of my eyes, my first love was also my first taste of pain.
In the play, the heroine’s friend said something, which made me think a little more: “Countless meaningful encounters.” I think this also seems to imply that every encounter and separation between the hero and heroine has its own reason.
The most regrettable thing in the play is the "losing memory". Of course, losing memory is not easy to happen in real life. This seems to be an unacceptable plot. Every time such a plot makes my heart feel unspeakable pain, which cannot be eliminated by any means, it is really uncomfortable.
Two people who love each other are separated due to memory loss. What will happen to the two who meet again 20 years later? Go after this drama and you will know the result.
The love when you are young is always very full, so full that you can not only love yourself, but also leave it to many people, such as family members, classmates, friends and so on. However, as I grow older, love seems to have been exhausted. Now, apart from being able to love myself, I can no longer bear other people's emotions, nor can I take on the burdens in other people's hearts. Do we need more love to be able to solve these problems? The people in the play regain their long-lost memories and love, how about us? Can we also find our love? !
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
