Zhao Jinmai, Lai Guanlin adapt Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Why do Chinese dramas borrow this curly hair = ugly troupe when 99 % of Chinese people do not have curly hair so it’s seen as more fashion-forward than messy.

Zhao Jinmai stars opposite Lai Guanlin in her first romance in A Little Thing Called First Love 初恋那件小事, an adaptation of the Thai film Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The series streams Mondays through Thursdays on Youtube here.

Nam is a bespectacled, swarthy girl who has a crush on P’Shone (also known as Shone), a popular student in her high school, but she feels that he is too handsome for her. Helped by her three friends, Nam follows the advice of the guidebook Nine Recipes of Love, which supposedly has the magical power to win affection from the boy of choice.
