I woke up at 7am today so I can follow each clip from episode one as it’s being uploaded on Dangjai HD youtube channel :bhehe:
Like many has stated, the ending was quite a cliffy, leaving us anticipating for their very first encounter after 7 years. I am looking forward to watching a jealous Ryu working hard to woo Mayumi back to him. Yuji is quite handsome with very gentlemanly manners; I'm glad he seems to be the catalyst that prompted Ryu to finally seek out Mayumi. I guess Mayumi has not had any potential suitors all this time.
It broke my heart when Mayumi was in the bathroom stall crying; I can feel her pain. She loves Ryu so much, it must not be easy to see news of him with another girl. It doesn't matter if it's just a ruse on Ryu's part to protect Mayumi, because to her, she believes Ryu has really moved on. She's been pinning for Ryu for so long, and constantly seeing him with someone else in the tabloids, I'm sure Mayumi has a big storage of hurt bottled inside her. Ryu will really have to step it up and prove that he wants to marry her because of love, and not only as a duty to both families.
As for Ryu, I can sympathize with him (although I'm siding with Mayumi a bit more here). I did love how Ryu has a full photo album of Mayumi. And it's so sweet that his personal office only have picture frames of Mayumi. It's obvious that Ryu is suffering as well from loving Mayumi at a distance. But alas, you must reap what you sow. Unlike Seiko, Mayumi was willing to stay and support Ryu as soryo. It is Ryu who pushes her away (again, in the name of love and protection). However, it's better to be with the one you love and risk losing that person than to completely cut them off. Death is an unsure thing, no one can avoid it. Therefore, why not spend the time you have with the one you love? I hope this is something Ryu will come to realize.
Anyway, I can't wait to see how Ryu and Mayumi's story unfold. I'm sure the chemistry between these two will make this a sizzling journey!
