I'm not over the 4% mark, but..First, for love, we're going to deliver the meaning of love and healing ending



First, for love, completed a healing drama that will be remembered for a long time.

tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 『First, For Love" (played by Sung Woo-jin, directed by Yoo Je-won) ended with favorable reviews after the 12th episode aired on the 9th.

On this day, Lee Hyo-ri (Choi Yoon-ji) suffered the aftereffects of the surgery. As there were already concerns, the language function became abnormal, and the number of words gradually decreased and people did not try to meet. Lee Ji-an (Yum Jung-ah) stood by Lee Hyo-ri the closest with the intention that she would not let him stand alone in the dark, and Ryu Bo-hyun (Kim Min-gyu) rather waited for him to return from a distance. Jeong Moon-hee (Kim Mi-kyung), Kim Sun-young (Kim Sun-young), and Cheonghae Village adults and friends all felt the same way.




A year later, Lee began preparing to return to medical school, regaining her normal routine. Jung Moon-hee cheered Lee Hyo-ri that she would be a good doctor, saying that now that she is in the patient's position, it seems that it is the first priority for the doctor to understand the patient's vague fears. Although Lee Ji-an was also worried about Lee Hyo-ri's plan to re-enter the school, she decided to trust and support her daughter, who became stronger and stronger as she was sick. Lee Hyo-ri, who visited Han Chorong (Geum Min-kyung), who gave birth to her, said of Lee Ji-an, "Mom is a good mother, a good adult, and a good person", he said, showing his gratitude and affection to 'the two mothers'.

In the meantime, Lee Ji-an, Ryu Jung-seok (Park Hae-joon), Lee Hyo-ri, and Ryu Bo-hyun were becoming another new family. While Lee Hyo-ri returned to the main course as a trainee, Ryu Bo-hyun decided to go to Germany to study. Before leaving, he asked Lee Ji-an for his father Ryu Jung-seok and Lee Hyo-ri. Changes in Lee Ji-an and Ryu Bo-hyun, who are similar to Ryu Jeong-seok and Lee Hyo-ri, who are similar to each other's father and daughter, and mother, created warmth. The romance between Lee Ji-an and Ryu Jung-seok, Lee Hyo-ri and Ryu Bo-hyun was also still ongoing.

At the end of the broadcast, Lee Ji-an and Lee Hyo-ri's mother and daughter were pictured on their first overseas trip. "Maybe our first love is mother. Having realized the expiration date of life and contemplating how to part ways, my first love taught me to find the answer in how to love and liveAlong with Lee Hyo-ri's narration of ", it gave them a deep aftertaste by illuminating the precious 'people' who became minor 'miracle'.




Here "After all, what we can do is not forget that the best, the next best, and the next best are the efforts to discover the happiness of this moment." I'm just living in love with this magical day to my heart's content. The last line, "'Like a first love that was all heart," had a perfect happy ending, delivering a resonant message to us living in 'today'.
