Another highly anticipated drama is coming to Viki, and fans of romantic dramas are already buzzing with excitement! What Comes After Love is a heartwarming and emotional series that promises to tug at the heartstrings of anyone who watches it. Based on a best-selling novel by two renowned authors — South Korean Gong Ji Young and Japanese Tsuji Hitonari — the drama tells the story of a love that transcends borders and time. The plot revolves around chance meetings and reunions, showcasing the lasting impact that a past love can have on the present.
The Story of What Comes After Love
What Comes After Love follows the story of Hong (played by Lee Se Young) and Jungo (played by Sakaguchi Kentaro). The two meet by chance while Hong is studying in Japan, and the connection between them is instant. During their time together, they embark on an intense romance, with Hong visibly happy and deeply in love. However, like many love stories, theirs comes to an end, and Hong returns to Korea, leaving her love with Jungo behind.
Five years after their breakup, they meet again. The Hong we see now is completely different from the vibrant young woman who once fell in love in Japan. With a somber and hollow gaze, she seems to have lost a part of herself after their separation. On the other hand, Jungo also bears the weight of the past, his regretful expression suggesting he’s still haunted by the memories of the love they once shared.
The Love Triangle: Hong, Jungo, and Min Joon
However, Hong’s life isn’t entirely empty. She is now in a relationship with Min Joon (played by Hong Jong Hyun), a loving and devoted boyfriend. Min Joon is a kind-hearted man who has always stood by Hong’s side, no matter the circumstances. He loves her deeply and would do anything to keep her close.
But their peaceful relationship is shaken when Jungo unexpectedly reappears in her life. This stirs emotional turmoil, putting the stability of Hong and Min Joon’s relationship to the test, creating a gripping tension that will captivate viewers from start to finish. Will Hong be able to move forward with Min Joon, or will the reunion with Jungo reignite feelings she thought she had left behind?
The Heartfelt Teaser of What Comes After Love
Recently, a teaser titled “Fate” was released, heightening anticipation for the drama’s premiere. In the trailer, we witness the emotional reunion between Hong and Jungo, with flashbacks of their happy moments together playing across the screen. The question “Do you believe in unchanging love?” appears, inviting viewers to reflect on whether feelings can truly endure the test of time and distance.
In one poignant line, Min Joon tells Hong, “We all change, that’s just how it is,” reflecting on how time alters people and their emotions. Meanwhile, Kanna (played by Nakamura Anne), a friend of Jungo, urges him to let go of the past, saying, “It’s sad to see someone living in the past.” These powerful lines add to the emotional depth of the drama, leaving audiences questioning the fate of this love triangle.
