This is a series from 2024 that is part of the Ossan's Love saga. It is a direct continuation of the Ossan's Love: Love or Dead movie (2019), although this series picks up 3.5 years after the movie ended. When the movie ended, the main character's boyfriend left for an overseas job. This series picks up with him returning and them living together full time. It introduces a few new cast members and a couple from the movie didn't return, but I thought it was nice that they mentioned the characters and what they were up to. I don't want to give much away, I will say that you must watch the original mini-series (2018) and the movie (2019) before you watch this or very little of it will make much sense, they are definitely building as they go. They do off some limited flashbacks, but not enough to piece it together if this is the first thing you are seeing. It does have a very happy ending and there is some humor throughout. There is something traumatic that happens in episode 8 that will probably make you cry, but they pull it together for a happy ending in the finale of episode 9. I actually enjoyed the entire series, it got more enjoyable as it went along. There are also 2 shorts that go with this series, the TVER spin off which takes place the same time as episode 1 and the TELASA spin off that takes place the same time as episode 7.
