The DramaNext guide
What Love Me as You Did at First is about
Ten years ago, Jonathan Carter was a brilliant, rich heir, and Lauren Shaw a poor but radiant campus belle. A decade later, he’s a bankrupt waiter while she rises as a powerful CEO. At a class reunion, they meet again. Life may change, but no matter your origin, education, or status, as long as you dare to be yourself, someone will always love you.
MicroDrama released it as 59 bite-size episodes mixing CEO romance, billionaire and campus, made to watch on a phone in one sitting or a few.
Is it worth watching?
The draw here is the power gap between the leads and who ends up holding the cards. On top of that: the hidden-wealth reveals and the people who misjudged the lead.
At roughly 1–2 hours in total, it's quicker to finish than most full-length series.
