*** WARNING MILD SPOILERS *** Title: An incredible achievement in capturing that fleeting moment in young love when all seems infinite until it isn't and "controlling the distance" in life and sports This series is one of the most moving coming of age stories I have watched in my life. In my opinion it should be viewed by a more mature audience of 30+, as most of the second half takes place in that bitter-sweet spot where life is no longer filled with possibilities but where youth is still close enough to be seen through a lens colored in a less pinkish hue than the first time around and properly analyzed in order to go on towards middle age and beyond. Kim Tae Ri gives life to one of the most memorable characters I have ever seen in film or TV (I am including here all that Hollywood has ever done). 10* quality drama which is NOT for teenagers. The only TV show that is close to this one in depth and wisdom is the masterpiece "My Mister" 2018, another k drama with Lee Seon Kyoon and IU. I'll end with another quote from this show:"You can't live in this World if you only know how to break". Highly recommended!

At present, over 47% of the male population in Japan aged between 30 ~ 34 are single. While for women, the no. goes up to 60% for those in their late twenties. It is not that they are unable to get married. Rather, they all choose to remain single, as they believe that marriage is not the be all and end all. Life holds more promising things beyond marriage, and thus they are all celebrating life as a single. This drama takes a look at life from the perspectives of these men and women. Hoshino Mamoru is the President of a film production company, having taken over the position from his father. He is an excellent creative director, but he detests chaos and hence prefers to remain single. His brother, Susumu, works at the same company, taking care of the business side of things. Currently undergoing divorce proceedings, Susumu has had to move out of his marital home. Haruno Yuki is disillusioned with men, after having gone through several failed relationships. She wasn't making great strides in her career either, and so one day, she decided to quit her job and pursue her dream of becoming a scriptwriter. In order to pay the bills, she takes on a part-time job at a maid agency. Before she knows it, she gets her chance to make her dream come true! It could be Fate, or just plain coincidence, but the 3 of them are plunged into each other's lives; The "Affluent Single", the "Divorced Hero" and the "Marriage Refugee". Will a pivotal moment happen upon them? Will the "Affluent Single" decide to give wedded bliss a chance?
