Both dramas look back at past relationships, there is a constant switch between the present and the past. In both dramas, the leads started their relationship in high school. However, since then they have moved on and gone their separate ways, finding new paths in life. By coincidence they meet again years later and restart their relationship.

Both dramas have similar genres (melodrama and romance).

Well they are stories of two people deeply in love but the obstacles are put on their path by the closest people to them! They keep missing each other, the timing is always wrong! So they throw in a nice time skip (3 to 5 years) and magically everything is sorted out i the last minutes of the last episode!
If you are in the mood for a misery ride with incredible chemistry between the leads, watch this!

Two kids meet near a floodgate after school. Yu is a shy 17 year old girl who sits down next to Yosuke as he plays his guitar. Yosuke recently gave up playing sports and has devoted himself to playing the guitar. He only plays a few lines over and over, as he tries to make a song from what he feels. Their relationship progresses tentatively as they both have difficulty in expressing their feelings and thoughts. One day Yu takes the initiative and kisses Yosuke. Yosuke responds by picking up his guitar and going home. Years later Yu wonders, "Why did I cry? Why didn't I stop crying? Why?"..while Yosuke wonders "Why did I run away from you that time?" Fast forward seventeen years later. They haven’t seen each since their days in high school and now have moved on with their separate and empty lives. That is until one day they randomly meet during an audition. They agree to go out together after work for drinks. As the evening turns into the early morning, they are still awake sharing memories of their high school days. After 17 years Yosuke finally kisses Yu. Yu starts to cry again and they soon go to visit her older sister. The next day Yosuke decides to call Yu and make good on a promise he made to her 17 years ago, that is he would play her his song when it is completed. Yu agrees to meet him again and Yosuke goes home to get his acoustic guitar.
