This drama is based on the BL manga "Koi wo Surunara Nidome ga Joto" by Kinoshita Keiko, which tells a tale of mature love revisited, in which a professor and a book editor grapple with the difficulties in reconnecting after they meet again for the first time since they were each others first loves in high school. It stars idol Hasegawa Makoto from J pop group 'The Rampage' and Furuya Robin ('Kiss x Kiss x Kiss') as the central couple Akihiro and Takashi. Support comes from Takamatsu Aloha ('Tokyo In April Is...'), Nagase Riko ('Given') and Shiraishi Shunya, with Mochizuki Haruki and Noserln playing Akihiro and Takashi at high school age. It has been directed by Yasukawa Yuka who helmed the 2023 BL series 'Jack o' Frost'.
Synopsis: "Business magazine editor Akihiro Miyata visits popular university professor Takashi Iwanaga to ask him to write a new economics column. However, he didn't realise the professor was his own 'first love' who broke up with him during his high school days, causing him to suffer a dark and emotional time. It has been more than ten years since he moved to Tokyo and Miyata has sealed away the past and now has a girlfriend with whom he has been living a conventional life, but with this new encounter, his world is once more blown apart as the unfulfilled opportunity from his past presents itself again and he must decide whether to change both his work life as well as his private life in order to pursue this 'second' chance of love with a now over 30 year old guy who once proved he could never be fully honest with him."
