There was so much hype around this series that I actually was anxious to start watching it. Somehow my instincts were telling me I'd be disappointed. And they were right.

Its story is too boring and drags too much. The story was cliche. A girl going abroad and falling in love with the first guy she meets in that country?!! And in such a big city, they meet just a few while after? How many people can say such coincidence happened to them? The story is just unbelievable.

The dialogues are also kind of childish and corny. And the way the characters behaved and reacted in situations were unrealistic.

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!

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.

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 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.
