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.

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.

Two favorite cultures, Korean and Japanese, are intertwined in one movie and they are united by love. The passionately in love couple with fantastic chemistry was flawlessly played by Sakaguchi Kentaro and Lee Sae-young. Their characters, even years after the breakup, can't be happy because the deep feelings are still with them. At the moment of making a decision, Ggzh seems to receive a hint: a street singer sings about how only poor love passes quickly (literal translation over the performance). The director and screenwriter masterfully showed the protracted process of falling in love, pushing to the question: if the MC was given dizzying love as a blessing, then does it make sense to kill her? This poetic story with excellent visuals and soulful music leaves a pleasant aftertaste. Recommend.

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.
