About

You can stream First Love (2022) on Netflix with a subscription.

Young, free and madly in love. As teenagers, the world was their oyster—but, as adults, their lives seem dimmer, like a very important piece is missing.

This Japanese melodrama avoids tired tropes by focusing on the quiet, aching ache of nostalgia rather than loud confrontation. It captures the way time reshapes a first love into a haunting, lifelong shadow.
