Plot

Described as an adult love story[1], the story of Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi narrates the story of Chiaki Yoshino (Kyoko Koizumi), a 45-year-old TV drama producer. As she is becoming older, Yoshino becomes increasingly more concerned about her health and retirement, instead of building romantic relationship with someone: the life she once hoped for of sharing her life with someone else seems distant. Yoshino is subsequently troubled about deciding on taking a break from her ruling life, and such questions lead her to Kamakura, where she decides to move in and settle. In this ancient city she knows Wahei Nagakura (Kiichi Nakai), a 50-year-old widower and father of one child who works for the city office.

Chiaki and Wahei start getting closer as they learn more and more about each other's lives. However, Wahei's family start obstructing the development of their relationship. Shinpei Nagakura, who's Wahei's brother, starts courting Chiaki, creating a conflicting triangle relationship starts between the three of them. On the other hand, Wahei's sister, Noriko, constantly harasses Chiaki. Facing these problematic family members, Chiaki and Wahei try to build and sustain their budding romance.[2]
