When Yu's mother passes away, his younger brother Hajime (Sato Takeru) comes back for the funeral with his girlfriend Anna (Kato Rosa) and notices Yu's feelings for Monami. Just then, Monami's identity is confirmed and she realises that she's married with a husband and daughter back in Tokyo. When her husband comes to pick Monami up, Yu sends her off with a smile while suppressing his own feelings. However, Monami's husband is uneasy about Yu's presence and his importance to his wife...
Comments: Frankly speaking, if not for Kusanagi, I think I would have struck this off my list immediately. This drama just seems to be a rehash of Korea's Winter Sonata which is called Fuyu no Sonata in Japanese. And I happen to be not a fan of the drama and a certain Yon-sama. Notice the resemblance in the title? The setting of the story? How one half of the pairing suffers from amnesia? And how they are getting Choi Jiwoo to appear in this drama which will no doubt bring a comparison between the two? However, I'll try to watch this at least for the snow scenes and Kusanagi. It will be interesting to see how things work out at the end for the couple.
