I totally get what other reviewers are whining about when they say there are too many flashbacks in this series. Because, wow, they're not wrong. It's like every time you blink, bam, we're back in the past, replaying the same sad, emotional moments that got us here. Maybe a few less flashbacks would've made this series a bit less of a time-traveling headache.

Is it a heartbreaking story? Yeah, absolutely. And it got me good. I won't lie, this series made me cry like a baby at the most unexpected moments. You think you're safe? Nope. One minute you're rolling your eyes at the drama, and the next, you're wiping away tears. The emotional punches land.

But honestly, you can't help but get invested. There's a reason they keep dragging us through the past-because the emotional payoff eventually hits hard.

Korean Drama '' What Comes After Love '' is a romantic melodrama about two lovers from different countries and different views on love.

The drama handles the back and forth nicely, even though the timeline wasn't linear. Still, it was easy to follow and that approach gave the drama more edge and the story more emotional impact.

The story itself was interesting, though there were times, like the final episodes, that it was a series of miscommunications that got things frustrating. Also, that is when the drama started getting into tropes.

Still, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

This is the best love story movie/TV show I have ever watched. It is so artistic and very well crafted, featuring amazing acting and cinematography. The two main characters are excellently cast, with outstanding chemistry between them. Thank you for bringing this to the world. I began watching it after all the episodes had aired. I casually started around 11 at night and ended up finishing all six episodes by the next morning without skipping a single second. No recent drama has been able to do that. It feels like reading a book with visuals. Not trying to compare, but Hollywood, Bollywood, and Kollywood are way behind when it comes to emotional dramas like this.

I honestly expected more from this drama. There was a lot of hype surrounding it.

The story starts off nicely with two young people falling in love in Japan. Gradually, we observed their inner struggles with their feelings and personal desires, which step by step led them to break up.

The other part takes place in Seoul. The main actors meet again after several years. Their lives seem to have changed significantly, but not their feelings for each other.

In my opinion, the constant flashbacks and lack of emotional expression create a poor narrative for the main couple, who seemed confused and not clearly in love. In the end, I found the story tiresome. However, the direction was well-executed.

I so much wanted to love this series. I found the ML (first time seeing him in anything) extremely appealing, and the FL was good as well. However, by the time the credits rolled at the end of Episode 6, I felt like screaming at the writer. I had expected that at least in the final episode, the emphasis would be on the present day, but no, we were subjected to more repetitive flashbacks. I always feel cheated when this happens. Writers seem to use excessive flashbacks as fillers for content rather than provide more development of the storyline and/or main leads.

I will try to find other series or movies in which this ML appears after feeling shortchanged by this production!
