First Kiss

About This Movie

First Kiss is an intriguing piece, blending drama and romance in a somewhat understated manner. The story centers on Song Yeon-Hwa, a reporter who’s caught in her own indecision about love, which really adds a layer of relatability. The pace feels almost languid, allowing the audience to simmer in her emotional turmoil. The performances are quite earnest; you really get a sense of her internal struggle. There’s this prevailing theme of missed opportunities and the ache of regret that resonates well. While the director remains unknown, the film carries a certain charm through its quiet moments, letting the characters breathe and the atmosphere envelop you. It’s a distinct offering in the realm of late ‘90s romantic dramas, with a focus on character rather than spectacle.
