SYNOPSIS
中山優馬 Nakayama Yuma - Missing Piece
Three years after graduating from high school, Suga Mizuho gathered together with her high school friends to attend the funeral of their classmate Origuchi Haruka. Haruka's mother is convinced that Mizuho is a close friend of her deceased daughter, and she asks Mizuho to help her find the identity of her daughter's boyfriend.

Mizuho meets Narumi Hikari at the funeral, a carefree guy she used to hang out with secretly. Their relationship started casually and it also ended casually when they just stopped hanging out. They shouldn't have met again but they did, and so they look back to their past...



REVIEW
Piece is an interesting drama about youth;how they struggled to fit in with everyone, how they tried to figure out their real selves, how they worked hard to become adults, and how they managed their relationships.

Suga Mizuho is a responsible person but I get why people around her think she's coldhearted. I think it's good to have principles, but Mizuho seems to force her principles on other people instead of just imposing it on herself.

Narumi Hikaru: Do you know? There are four (4) types of people... (1) Those who would never board the wrong bus, and (2) those who would always board the wrong bus. And then, there are (3) those who, on boarding the wrong bus, would immediately change to the right one... and (4) those who continue on their journey even when they know they are on the wrong bus.
