A true masterpiece, plain and simple. It touched something deep in me, something I didn’t even know was waiting to be moved. The extroverted Yamada Koichi falls in love with the closed-off Oumi Mitsuru. Two lonely souls reaching out not just for love, but to be the most important person in someone else’s life.
But don’t expect a sweet, typical love story. I knew this drama was going to destroy me when it throws a gut-punch in the opening seconds and one of them dies. But this is not a story about zombies or the supernatural either. It is a powerful story about eternal love, about death, about grief. I cried in practically every episode, wanting them to find a way to make their romance work, to find a way to hold onto their love against all odds.
The sad ending broke my heart into a million pieces. But in that heartbreak, there was beauty too. Losing someone doesn’t erase the love you shared. We can move on with the memories we have of that person, and those memories will keep us going. And yes, some loves are forever.
