What Comes After Love

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.

This is the best love story movie/TV show I have ever watched. It is so artistic and very well crafted, featuring amazing acting and cinematography. The two main characters are excellently cast, with outstanding chemistry between them. Thank you for bringing this to the world. I began watching it after all the episodes had aired. I casually started around 11 at night and ended up finishing all six episodes by the next morning without skipping a single second. No recent drama has been able to do that. It feels like reading a book with visuals. Not trying to compare, but Hollywood, Bollywood, and Kollywood are way behind when it comes to emotional dramas like this.

The first episode of the drama made a lasting impression. It is a beautiful mix of all Japanese and Korean sensibilities. Love is the universal language.

The real strength of this show is its writing. The writing, the dialogues, how scenes are developed. It makes you realize how the 'writers' are different from web series or webtoons. Without any disrespect to web-series writers, the writers writing for a fiction book, work differently. It is like a seed, sowed, watered, tended and taken care of till it reaches a maturity - a time-consuming process by a patient person.

It reminded me of The Outlander, War of the Worlds, Lord of the Rings etc. The literary touch of excellence.

Actors and director is doing a fine job bring it to visual medium. Do Not miss this one.

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 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!
