[stephreviews]

Fragrance of the First Flower (2021)

Yi Min (Lin Zai Zai) and Tin Ting (Lyan Cheng) meet again as adults. Yi Min is married and has a son. In high school, Yi Min and Tin Ting played on the same volleyball team and had a short, budding romance that was ended too soon. Throughout the drama, we see them reconnect as adults while experiencing flashbacks to their romance as teenagers. Will they rekindle their romance? What about Yi Min's husband? What made them break up in high school?

This drama was my very first GL, and damn, was it good. I watched it with a friend of mine while it was airing and each week it had us on the edge of our seats waiting to see what would happen next.

Overall: 9/10

Chemistry between the leads? 100000/10

Hot lesbian sex? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A cute child actor that steals the show? 10/10

Unpredictable ending? 10/10

This show has it all. Cute high school romance, sports, family, angst, unpredictable ending, sexy times, you name it. And season 2 coming out this year!

Happy Birthday. Even though I didn't prepare anything today, I hadn't forgotten our promise. How can you not bring a gift? At least treat me to a drink. Sure. I know a drink store nearby that's pretty good. But we'll have to run to make it in time. Let’s go.

3 AM Thoughts

(SPOILERS ABOUT WHEN I FLY TOWARDS YOU)

I've been on a streak of watching C-dramas recently, and I happened to rewatch When I Fly Towards You because it's honestly really wholesome.

I want to talk about Zhang Lurang's uncle because I don't think a lot of people talk about him.

(ACTUAL SPOILERS)

So Mr. Lin (Su Zai Zai's math and homeroom teacher) has been the one for Zhang Lurang since the beginning of high school since (I guess) he's Lurang's guardian.

Because of this, how much do you think he actually knows about the relationship between Zai Zai and Lurang prior to Lurang telling him that they were dating?

I mean we all know he knows that they were friends and that they got really close because of the tutoring sessions. Also, he's probably noticed how the two interacted with each other through high school and when they were together in college.

He's also noticed Lurang's emotions and stuff. Like when Lurang was smiling while reading Zai Zai's English notes when he got jealous think Zai Zai wrote a love letter for someone else. And especially when Lurang spaces out when filling cups with water.

Personally, I like to think that he just kind of knew this was coming: he sees that they like each other and was waiting for them to start dating. I think it's also a funny idea to imagine that his response to Lurang announcing his relationship is along the lines of "I know" and "about time." Granted, his personality makes me think he kept these thoughts to himself and just accepted that the two were dating to save Lurang some pride.

However, there were several scenes that makes me think he didn't actually know about them until Lurang told him. One particular scene was right after Lurang confessed to Zai Zai, and I think he basically says, "What's up with this guy?"

Anyways, I'm interested to hear about other people's observations of the show or what other people think about this situation. Please repost and tell me what you think!
