Netfly has produced many popular works after entering Asia, but most of these works are from South Korea or Taiwan.
works usually involve criminal suspense.
and so, in many people's minds, most of the dramas produced by Netflix in Asia are characterized by "large mind and large scale".
Friends who are familiar with Netflix's operating model should know that Netflix will not interfere with too much creation if it invests in dramas in a certain region. As long as the script is attractive enough, the creator will have enough freedom to create.
This also creates that the dramas produced by Netflix have obvious local characteristics.
And the drama we are going to talk about today is a drama invested by Netflix in Japan. This drama also fully highlights this feature and brings the pure love and beauty in Japanese dramas to the extreme.
It is -
"First Love "
Before chatting about this drama, I strongly recommend that you open your music app and play Utada Hikari 's classic song "First Love".
Yes, the inspiration for this drama is this song, which tells a story about first love.
As we all know, Japanese film and television dramas are good at making love, regardless of whether the story is excellent or not, it must be good on the picture.
A series of Japanese works represented by Shunji Iwai . Countless pictures are easy to see and can be taken directly as wallpaper.
And the director of the drama "First Love" Haku Yuri has also received guidance from Shunji Iwai and is considered half of the apprentice of this great director.
Han Zhu Lily, who was born in the commercial film, also brought her keenness to the beauty of the picture to the extreme in this drama.
So, in the process of watching this drama, there is definitely a visual enjoyment, and this drama has also achieved the level of being able to take a casual screenshot, which is amazing.
But the most important thing about a drama is the story itself.
However, the story of this drama is its biggest flaw.
The story revolves around the love between the male and female protagonists for more than 20 years. The heroine Noguchi Yae (played by Mitsushima) is a taxi driver, but when she was a girl, Yee (played by Riko Yagi)'s biggest dream is actually to be a flight attendant.
is just the person who blocked her from realizing this dream, and the first person she loved in her life - Naimu Harudao (Sato Take-).
At that time, Yaei was still a student. When he first met the young man Harudao (played by Kido Daishen), he was fascinated by this ostentatious boy.
However, love in youth is always young.
Yeying always secretly pays attention to Qingdao at school, and Qingdao actually likes Yeying too.
Even if you like it in your heart, neither of you know how to express it.
Qingdao accidentally heard a boy confessing to Yeying.
The boy asked Yeying, what do you like to eat? But before Yeying could answer, she ran away shyly.
Qingdao told Yeying that the subtext of this sentence actually means "I like you".
And when Yeying mustered up the courage to ask Qingdao the same question, Qingdao told her very confusedly that she liked pasta.
But how can pure likeness be defeated by clumsiness?
The two people with the same heart, even though they have countless "ineffective communication", they still cannot hide the passion in their hearts.
On a snowy night, he was waiting for her on her way home.
And when she saw him, she got off the car without hesitation.
Finally, the two hugged each other on a snowy day, warming each other's cold winter with their hottest hearts.
The love during the campus period was pure and beautiful, and the two experienced sweet youth together.
Share a pair of headphones to listen to music and imagine the future together.
The two thought that they would love each other like this for the rest of their lives, but they did not know that fate would always catch people off guard.
Go to the Self-Defense Force to become an Air Force, and Haruhi Kazuyoshi started a long-distance relationship. The two also had misunderstandings and quarreling because they could not meet for a long time.
On this day, Qingdao wanted to call Yeying to apologize, but unexpectedly, Yeying was in a car accident and lost her memory.
She forgot her high school and college days, her dreams, and her Qingdao.
Even though Qingdao kept writing letters to Yeying and wanted to contact her, all this was stopped by Yeying's mother.
Yeying's mother hopes that she can marry a better person, and Yeying, who has lost her memory, married an elite doctor as her mother wishes.
Ke Yeying's life was not satisfactory, and the difference between her husband's family concept forced her marriage to end with divorce.
Qingdao, who became a pilot, has always been depressed and unsuccessful. Although he also has a girlfriend who is engaged in marriage, he knows that he can never forget Yeying in his heart.
Until the two met again under the command of Yee's fourteen-year-old son Masaru (played by Araki Hiroshi).
The love of the youthful period was once again ignited in the hearts of Ye Ying and Qingdao, who are already middle-aged...
Whether the final ending of the story is HE or BE, the editor will not spoil this here.
has a total of 9 episodes in total, and they are released at one time. Interested friends can find the answers in person.
But even if you don’t know the ending, you can see that many scenes in the play, such as car accidents, amnesia, and parents’ stops, are too old-fashioned.
This is also the reason why many viewers are not buying this story.
But it has to be admitted that the pictures and overall shooting style of this drama have a strong pure love style of Japanese dramas. The style of
is probably the purest in Japanese dramas.
Just like the song "First Love", even those who don't listen to Japanese songs will probably hum a few melodies of this song because it is classic enough.
And in this drama, we can also see and hear the shadow of this song from time to time.
So, even "feelings" are enough to add points to this drama.
Generally speaking, this story about "first love" is not novel, but it is also a pleasing drama.
