Both FL & ML had a sad story background but of them met in 2011 Japan Tohoku Earthquake & they both develop a feeling for each other with so many obstacles in front of them to be together. A heart warming love story. Sakaguchi Kentaro so adorable. A must watch both drama & movie with the same title.
