Plot

When two souls find one another, nothing can tear them apart. Widower Takumi (Shido Nakamura) lives a quiet life with his six-year-old son Yuji (Akashi Takei) after the loss of wife and mother Mio (Yuko Takeuchi). Yuji unfailingly remembers her promise to him: "I'll be with you again in a year's time, when the rains come." On the first anniversary of her passing, Takumi and Yuji are taking a walk in the woods when they come across a woman sheltering from a monsoon downpour. She bears an uncanny resemblance to Mio, but has no recollection of who she is or what she is doing there. Family life resumes from where they left off, while Takumi and Mio's memories of their first encounter in high school come flooding back. However, their new life together is interrupted by the discovery of Mio's old diary, which reveals the secrets of her past and how they must say goodbye once more in six weeks time...

Momoe Mori Sep 26 2020 7:22 pm RIP Yuuko Takeuchi.

Please help Sep 16 2020 10:42 pm I'm pretty sure this movie have a Chinese/Taiwanese adaptation... But I can't seem to find it. If someone know please tell me, the story is very similar to this, but it's on Chinese, release before the korean version, maybe between 2008-2016???

AsianDramaPearls Jun 09 2016 1:58 am Just finished watching. It's a lovely and sweet film to the end. It's not a movie.

It's actually 10 episodes, each 1 hour long. I found it on veoh.com

Take care.

Yamamoto61 Jun 16 2014 2:20 am OMGG i love this story , they were so happy and she was so beautiful , i cried when she left away from her family T.T

Inspired Feb 22 2014 9:10 am Beautiful movie! Shed a few tears, really touching. Amazing plot!

bunni3fly Feb 17 2014 12:49 pm This is a must watch! I rarely comment on asianwiki, and this film I've watched a few years ago, and somehow the story still stuck in my head. I've forgotten the title and I've done a lot of digging until I finally found it. It's heart wrenching but totally good. The story is very original and well laid out. Though I am more of a Korean Drama/Movie fan, this show's gonna make my list of all-time favorites.

dhii Oct 25 2013 3:24 am what a plot twist.. so sad T_T

barahachi Jun 17 2013 10:42 pm I ask my teacher about the teruteru bozo and she told me that if it's hanged upside down (sakasama) it summons the rain. :) I answered my own question :D

barahachi Jun 17 2013 8:06 pm I watched it just last night. I liked the plot of the movie. I just wonder what teruteru bozo is for? Wikipedia says it's an amulet to call for a fine weather but in the movie it seems like summoning for rain.

rinto Apr 19 2012 1:57 am what a great movie .... I never thought if it would have ending like that...

ButterflyJoe May 05 2010 8:35 pm Amazing film and one of the few movies that have made me cry, great acting by the entire cast, I was surprised by Akashi Takei he plays Yuji the little boy, he's a just a little kid and he can act better than other actors.... Great film highly recommended.
