Eriko Kitagawa, a scriptwriter who “hasn’t written for a while,” depicts burnt-out love in her drama “Hand in Hand at Dusk.

A week has passed since the final episode of the Tuesday drama “Yugure ni, Te wo Tsunagu” (TBS) starring actress Suzu Hirose ended, and the reverberations are only getting wider. The foreshadowing recovery and the famous quotes are attracting a lot of attention.

The drama is a coming-of-age love story that begins when the wild and charming Kuramame (Hirose), who grew up in rural Kyushu, has a fateful encounter with a boy from the city, Oto (Ren Nagase). In the final episode, after dropping their AirPods after bumping into each other at an intersection, Kuramame and Oto are reunited at the intersection where they first met again.

The foreshadowing play that reminds us that their story began with this encounter is well worth watching. Catch copy on the poster

I fell in love with you long ago.

was the ending of the film, and the tagline on the poster, “We fell in love a long time ago,” stuck in my mind.

However, it was not only the love story between the two that stuck in the hearts of the viewers. In the final episode, we learn that Kuramame, who had left for Paris with his mother Toko (Yasuko Matsuyuki), has returned to his parents’ house in Kyushu three years later.

There are those who were born to fight for life and those who were born to enjoy life.

Oi was born to enjoy life. I was born to enjoy life.
