“They were never supposed to cross paths…”
Don’t get fooled by the boring title. “First Love Again” (FLA) is a very interesting and emotional time travel drama. While lots of modern Cdramas this year started nice but got boring halfway… FLA starts with an encounter that makes you curious – and then gets better and better with each episode until the very end.
●Story:
Ye Yuening (ML) accidentally travels back in time for a while and uses the chance to change a few things casually to the better. Turns out his whole future in 2019 changes because of those little decisions. He finds out he can contact his classmate Wen Xi (FL) from the past (2006) through a special phone. With this he tries to turn things back but instead it only gets messier and messier. And so, this changes the fate of himself - and also of Wen Xi.
The story gets super interesting. I really love time travel and this one really had a clear message. I got very curious about the time-travel-cause and the man in the costume. I was also always looking forward how MLs decisions gonna affect his future every time xD Later it got very emotional and almost broke my heart. I love to feel the feels, lol. There were also some mysteries. :) It even got a little confusing - which is even better since I love it when things are not simple.^^
●Characters:
The FL is not annoying! Omg! xD Not your usual high pitched cutesy gurl. I really liked her, especially the actress. She had this mature look – probably because of her cheekbones.^^ When she played the 18 year old high schooler – I believed her. When she played the 31 year old version in the future – I believed her too. Kudos to the stylists btw. ;)
Same with the ML. He also has this in-between-look. I believed him the 18 and the 31 year old versions. In general I really liked him as an actor. His visuals as well as his acting. He slayed in emotional scenes! Damn!
The side characters were likable too. And yes, I loved the Main Leads a lot. The acting was veeery good and I got easily attached to the characters. You could see in what ways they matured. Great performance!
●Details:
I absolutely loved the colors, filters, locations and cinematography. Very beautiful, especially the future timeline. 2006 had a pink-ish filter, the future had a green-ish filter. While pink often represents first love and naivity, green stands for growth and envy. Pretty fitting, but was it intended?^^
The Opening was spoiler-free! Instead they used pretty illustrations!
The OSTs were great too. I especially liked the Opening song and also “Time Machine” by MayDay, which they used.
●Time Travel:
I’m a big fan of fantasy stuff like that. It was very interesting. Small decisions in 2006 lead to greater changes in 2019. Basically ML, with every change, opened another timeline/universe which, of course, made it hard to turn things back. Since the time in 2006 progressed too, he had to somehow balance out the mistakes from before. Only later he found out how to use the time machine correctly… but everything comes with a price…
►All in all, this drama was a very sweet and also emotional love story, with time travel and some mysteries. I loved every second of it and never got bored. Yes, there also were a few annoying things, like some love triangles and stuff, but it was kinda light and also fast paced- so I didn’t even have time to be annoyed xD The high school timeline was pretty cliché but they switched between scenes of 2006 and 2019 a lot, which made everything perfectly dynamic. The ending was perfect for me!
This is definitely one of the better Cdramas this year. Only my opinion tho. ~❤
