Not only does he have ghastly physical scars, but deep emotional ones too. His parents have cut him out of their life, his friends have betrayed him and the one woman he loved is never to be seen. Fourteen years ago, Shuhei was the happiest man in the world: an ambitious, handsome 22-year old from an affluent family whom everyone envied and loved. He was a top medical school graduate with dreams of becoming a professional pianist and marrying his true love Umi Yasumoto. The more Shuhei gave to others, the more he lost of himself. Shuhei's benevolent behavior of helping others without thinking of himself seemingly led to his self-destruction. What could have happened to turn his life upside down? This pensive drama with a love story theme will reveal Shuhei's tragic life as it makes you question your own thoughts and actions, as well as reflect on your past, present and future. See less
