Feeling dejected, she runs into Yuzuru Imai, a classmate from junior high school, bringing back a flood of memories of their complicated past. Miyu and Yuzuru both transferred to the same junior high school on the same day. Also sharing the same birthday, Miyu felt an instant connection and fell in love with Yuzuru. When they were finally in the same classroom in their last year of junior high school, they shared a close friendship – until Yuzuru’s friend Wakana Kizaki got in between them and they became estranged. Seven years later, Miyu runs into Yuzuru and Miyu again feels the affection she once had for Yuzuru. Edit Translation

Love is decided by fate
This is the 10th installment in this series of short love stories. The location is Fukuoka, Japan, a prefecture on the southern island of Kyushu. I’m proud to say I live in this beautiful part of Japan.What I like:
The story is short, sweet, cute, and well-produced. The two main leads are great. Adachi Rika, playing the part of Nakamura Miyu, is perhaps at her most beautiful self as a young adult looking for work. And Watanabe Shu plays Imai Yuzuru, a handsome, hard-working, entry-level designer. Their fated first meeting was when they were junior-high school students. And that was the very cute part of this tale- their innocent and optimistic first encounters, when they seemed destined to be together. I enjoyed seeing the scenery around Kitakyushu, the second largest city in Fukuoka. It's really beautiful, and the camera angles were perfect. Fukagawa Mai as Love-Rival Kizaki Wakana adds spice to this fifty-minute story.
What I don’t like:
I'm not sure if I agree that our lives, our fates, are already decided when we're born, which is a recurring theme in this drama special. Although this IS a romantic drama, there is no physical contact at all between the two main leads. In fact, there is no dating, either, and the conversations even are short at best. They keep getting disturbed by phone calls and Wakana. So, not much depth to this story.
I recommend this to anyone who wants a well-made, short and sweet drama. You get cute scenes with the main leads when they were young, and then the payoff scenes when, as adults, they flashback to those relevant scenes in the past. And you can enjoy taking in the parts of Japan away from the usual Tokyo locations.
