The drama is an original love story directed by Rikiya Imaizumi, known for films such as "What is Love?" (2019) and "Undercurrent" (2023). Novelist Fumina reflects on her past relationships in order to seriously confront her current boyfriend.
Sugisaki plays Fumina Tsuchida, a novelist who, due to various past romantic experiences, avoids "truly loving someone" and "facing someone properly," while Ryo Narita plays Fumina's boyfriend, Yukio Saeki.
The final episode was titled "On a clear winter day, what was the conclusion the two reached...?"
It's Yukio's (Narita's) birthday. Fumina (Sugisaki) tells Yukio one by one about her worries and honest feelings that she had been hiding. And she tells him that she wants to be with him from now on. After she has finished talking, Fumina murmurs "Ah." Perhaps she had forgotten due to nervousness, but she takes the finished light blue scarf out of her bag and offers it to him saying "Happy birthday." When Yukio sees it, he smiles and says, "That's the color. Hot springs blue," but...and the story continues.
