In the late 90s, Yae and Harumichi met and fell in love. After graduating from high school, Yae went off to college in Tokyo, while Harumichi joined the Self-Defense forces as an aviation student, and like that they separated. One day, Yae suffered a tragic accident, and 20 years passed without their lives intersecting again. Now, Yae works as a taxi driver and Harumichi has become an employee at a security company after serving in the Self-Defense forces, both in the same city. About 20 years after their unfulfilled first love, fate brings them together once again...

Well they are stories of two people deeply in love but the obstacles are put on their path by the closest people to them! They keep missing each other, the timing is always wrong! So they throw in a nice time skip (3 to 5 years) and magically everything is sorted out i the last minutes of the last episode!
If you are in the mood for a misery ride with incredible chemistry between the leads, watch this!

A show about growing up. A girl is unable to fully experience growing up due to a sad circumstance but now has the chance to experience her teenage years at the ripe old age of 30.

Both dramas offer the same calm and romantic winter vibe.
When I started watching the first love it reminded me of 'when the weather is fine',
especially when playing past story of them.

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.
