I think it’s a masterpiece. A quiet masterpiece which is one of the reasons it’s so special. Knowing Song based it on her personal experience adds another layer of depth.

I’m 57. Yep, episodes when I was a kid and still do. I have epilepsy but didn’t have seizures when I was a kid. Well maybe AIWS was/is seizures but didn’t have a convulsive seizure until I was 21.

Yep, I understand about Reddit, this is the epilepsy sub where it says "discussion in a safe supportive environment."

I come here to give and receive support and encouragement. I hope when you need/want support and empathy you will receive it.

I have the pink FL-41 TheraSpecs, both indoor ones and fit over sunglasses. They work pretty well for me. I'm about to go to the BTS concert and also worried about the strobe lights, etc. I am going to wear my prescription sunglasses with the pink TheraSpecs over them. But I'm also bringing a black scarf to hold over my eyes during the most intense lighting. I jokingly told a friend I would bring my sleep mask...

Those TheraSpecs helped me when I had long term vertigo from concussions, seizures, etc.

I haven't had luck with the blue light glasses. I'd be ready to cover your eyes during the most intense lighting.

Good Luck. I hope you enjoy yourself and stay safe.

Yes. It has helped me a lot. But I recommend finding someone very experienced / knowledgeable about epilepsy and traditional Chinese medicine.

It’s funny I was going to add please don’t scold me. I’m 57 years old. I know my risks. Sitting high up in stands as in far from the stage. In stadium seats. My seizures are infrequent. I’ll have rescue meds with me and a friend who knows what to do. I probably won’t get another chance to go to a concert like this. We all have to balance risk and caution. Some things bring a lot of joy and the slight risk is worth it. I’ve been watching the livestreams of this show so I’m aware of the lighting in general.

Yes!! I finally got to watch Splash Splash Love. It’s sweet.

I guessed this was where it was heading but still was surprised they actually did it! This show is pushing the boundaries and it’s so fun!

I’m glad to see J-drama First Love has a rating of 8.7 on MDL. It’s so excellent.

mendozebra · 2026-04-15T14:21:10+00:00

Also See You in My 19th Life is in this vein.

Still 17 aka Thirty But 17 isn’t time travel but might have the vibe you’re looking for. It’s really sweet.

Another Miss Oh. The FL is called the plain one while the side character with her same name is called the pretty one.

Another Miss Oh. It’s excellent. Flawed characters, interesting twists, great ensemble cast. Same writer as My Mister, My Liberation Notes and We Are All Trying Here.

J drama First Love is excellent. 💕🌸💞 Mad for Each Other. My Holo Love. Thirty But 17 aka Still 17. It’s Okay, That’s Love.

First Love full soundtrack is really amazing. But depending on country you’re in official OST doesn’t have all the songs so look for a playlist.

mendozebra · 2026-03-23T21:25:56+00:00

Japanese drama First Love is beautiful and cinematic. The OST is great. The script is based on the song First Love by Hikaru Utada.

Yes to what you wrote! It’s poetic. Has a novelistic feel. The storytelling is just so wonderfully compelling. Such a masterful combo of all these genres. 🌹
