Hatsukoi is a Japanese drama series following Midori, a married speech therapist whose world shifts when she receives a terminal liver cancer diagnosis. Forced to confront her mortality, she unexpectedly reunites with her first love—a man whose past betrayal had wounded her deeply. Now they must set aside years of hurt and resentment to work together on her treatment and survival. The series explores how a life-threatening illness can strip away old grudges and force two people to reckon with unfinished emotional business. Balancing family loyalty, medical crisis, and the complicated pull of a first love, Hatsukoi examines what we're willing to risk and forgive when time becomes precious.
