I'm not sure I've ever wished more for a love story to have a happy ending, and yes, the writing of the characters is massively important in viewers becoming attached and wanting things to work out, but equally important is the actor's portrayal and both Sakaguchi Kentaro and Lee Se Young deliver flawless performances as a young madly in love couple driven apart by poor communication, cultural differences and the loneliness one of them faces living in a different country.

Five years after their separation they meet again but will they overcome these differences or accept their love was a blessing best left in the past?

Both actors are so impressive in this drama, but I also have to mention the direction. Wow! Just stunning. Visually beautiful and with a depth that you don't always get in a love story. I'll be looking out for more work from all 3.

This is yet another top class Asian drama that will live long in the memory. Please watch.

A simple story but very beautiful and emotional in 6 episodes starring the beautiful Lee Se-young and the famous Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi about the love of an immigrant girl in Japan and the hardships of loneliness and being away from her family.

As an immigrant in a country other than my birthplace, I really understand this girl's feelings and shortcomings and I dare say that this is what happens to most immigrant women in foreign countries. Of course, she was very lucky that apart from her own shortcomings, which were due to her youth and inexperience, a good boy also came her way :));) The story of this mini drama is somewhat similar to the first novel in the "After" Stories series written by Anna Todd, but the Asian version.

I give this very tender drama an 8 out of 10 rating and my only complaint is the ending of the story, which although we do not have a separation ending, this reunion is shown a bit spoiled and weak.

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.

Seriously, this is a must see. A highly recommended one. This is a story of a love found, love lost.. and... see for yourself what happened in the end. This series is a by product of a beautiful collab between Korean and Japanese Productions. The color grading and cinematography, the shot were Japanese but the the creativity in storytelling is very Korean. The series did not just focus on the typical romance theme... but will let you see the complexities of relationships. This will also teach couples who are in a relationship that communication and understanding is the key for a good relationship.. and that is where the beauty had its high points. It will let you see what will happen if communication and understanding is the not present in a relationship.

You will also see the honesty in character's admission of their faults and its impact towards the end. Another strength of this series is the storytelling like you are actually reading a book! Very poetic. Yes, this is a must watch!!!

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!
