Good Enough
Japanese Drama '' Sayonara no Tsuzuki '' is a romantic melodrama with a tragic story and tragic characters.The drama incorporates the idea that the body has memory, but it is not that well presented, as the story is more focused on the romance and builds its story up from there.
As for the romance, it was odd, as the one person was wracked with grief and was trying to hold on to any spec of hope, and the other had an identity crisis at best. Most tragic of them all was the wife who was trying to figure things out.
The performances, on the other hand, were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

- very pretty cinematography
- I LOVE COFFEE, bye.
- "drinking coffee wont solve the problem, but taking a break is a must" (i think the quote was kinda like this lol)
- if it's a movie, i would gladly recommend it to everyone, but since it's a series, this kinda genre does feel draggy
- in the middle tho, it feels so wrong but as a whole it was okay
- love the Theme Song ❤️ "Azalea" by Yonezu Kenshi

Problematic and disappointing
I was looking forward to this drama and had high hopes. Unfortunately it did not work for me.The key issues were:
A) the relationship between Saeko and Yasuke didn’t build up properly. They started as a holiday fling and jumped early to bed which felt forced. I didn’t feel invested in their love at all.
B) Kazumasa emotionally and physically cheating on his wife (even explained by the gravitational pull of Yasuke’s heart) felt wrong. His wife had stood by him through dark times and loved him unconditionally. She deserved better in my view
C) the transplanted heart having memories made no sense. How can a muscle essentially give you vivid flashbacks and images? I know it’s fiction but it didn’t make a lot of sense to me.
On the plus side, the cinematography was beautiful and the performance of Kentaro Sakaguchi was excellent.
This fell short of my expectations and I wanted to care about the characters more…
