Hajimete Koi wo Shita Hi Ni Yomu Hanashi or commonly known as "A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love" to us international fans is a 10 episode drama, based on the manga by the same name. On the surface, it would seem like just another 'love square' or a 'revere harem' themed story. However, there is more to this series than meets the eye. It is a drama that tackles the concept of pursuing one's dreams and doing whatever it takes to reach those goals. Plus, it further explores the theme of love and loving someone despite the age barrier.

Honestly, I loved everything about this drama: the plot, the cast and their chemistry, production and even the OST. The only aspect I wasn't a huge fan of was the ending. The ending despite being complete seemed a little incomplete. Part of reason behind my dissatisfaction was because it all seemed unrealistic and left me wondering whether things would truly work out the way they have planned. In my view, it would have been better and even practical if the drama had explored this aspect as well before giving us the 'happily ever after'. Other than this, I don't have many complains nor could I find any major flaws.

Overall, I loved this drama and even found it very motivating (being a student myself). I know many of us were/are hesitant to watch this drama because the 'student-teacher relationship' tag but let me reassure you that this drama does NOT romanticise nor involve paedophilia. So do give this light-hearted drama a chance and I'm sure you won't regret it.

Enjoy the Drama :)
