## Synopsis

My First First Love (2019) is a South Korean romance drama series created by Jung Hyun-jung for Netflix. Yoon Tae-oh, played by Kim Ji-soo, is a young man whose house becomes a shared home when a circle of friends moves in for various personal reasons. Jung Chae-yeon plays Han Song-Yi, Jung Jin-young plays Seo Do-Hyun, and Choi Ri plays Oh Ga-Rin, each drawn into the tangle of old friendships and new feelings that grows between them under one roof. The engine of the series is simple and human: who will admit what they feel, and what happens when a comfortable friendship starts to change. Each episode moves through everyday routines, shared meals, small arguments and quiet confessions, so the story unfolds through accumulated moments rather than dramatic set pieces. Its story spans two seasons of sixteen episodes in total, and it is one continuing arc in which the emotional stakes build steadily. Set among contemporary Seoul twenty-somethings, the series carries a calm, warm and wistful register, with melancholy edges around timing and missed chances. Fans of Reply 1988, Itaewon Class and Crash Landing on You will find resonance in its gentle romance and its sincere attention to young adult friendship.
