Drama Pick: Where Does the Sea Begin

I cried so hard in this series, but I could not get enough of it. I was so wholesome and one of my favorite drama’s that I watched this month.

Where Does the Sea Begin (Viki)

Twenty-eight-year-old Natsu Tsukioka’s (Ren Meguro) world turns upside-down when he learns that his college girlfriend, Mizuki Nagumo, has passed away. Natsu attends the funeral while struggling with unresolved feelings and disbelief, as Mizuki had broken up with him out of the blue and they hadn’t spoken since that day. To his surprise, Natsu meets a young girl named Umi (Rana Izutani) – and Mizuki’s mother informs Natsu that Umi is his and Mizuki’s daughter that Mizuki had raised alone for the past seven years. Confronted with this new information, Natsu seeks to understand his newfound daughter and her relationship with her mother. Can Natsu develop his own parental bond with Umi and learn more about Mizuki’s choice to leave him all those years ago?

This series has 12 episodes, averaging 46 minutes long with the occasional longer and shorter episodes, but WOW! I will say one character did get on my nerves (multiple) but one of them broke my heart in a bad way. I didn’t like how they handled things and the things they said and did drove me insane. I won’t say spoilers but OH MY GOODNESS, I was so upset with them. Overall, this is such beautiful story and although it tugs on my heartstrings A LOT I absolutely loved it and can’t stop talking about it. Have you seen this show before?
