The First Love
첫사랑 cheotsarang
The one everyone remembers.
The first love (cheotsarang, 첫사랑) is the K-drama character from the hero's past — a school sweetheart or a childhood promise — who returns years later and changes everything. As a personality, it's warmth, nostalgia and quiet staying power.
It's you if…

- You believe some people are meant to meet again.

Korean has a popular saying that first love never comes true (첫사랑은 이루어지지 않는다), which dramas love to challenge. Another romantic belief is that if you're with someone you love when the first snow falls, your love will come true — so first-snow dates are a recurring drama scene.
