Plot Synopsis by DramaWiki Staff ©

Reiko is a 28-year-old that works at a housing maker. She suddenly gets dumped by her boyfriend Koichiro after 5 years together.
Without any warning, "career oriented" Reiko gets dumped. Before that, she was happy because she was able to balance both her career and love life.
After the breakup, Reiko finds herself not being able to concentrate at work and starts making mistakes that she ordinarily wouldn't. Thanks to this, she finds herself close to losing her position at work. Furthermore, she gets to the point to where she's almost anorexic, and her looks start going down hill. Right now, for Reiko, life is the pits. And to add to her misery, she finds out that Koichiro has a new girlfriend.
"Being in love is no big deal, and neither is breaking up for that matter." This is what Reiko thinks to herself after she starts feeling like she doesn't know what she's doing anymore. "There are all kinds of problems in the world today like pollution and people struggling because of economic woes. How many people are there starving at this very minute?" "I need to think a little more about the troubles of the world," she thinks to herself as she begins to feel a little ashamed that her problems are only a drop in the bucket. But for Reiko, the real problem at hand is not war or hunger; it's Koichiro.
To this point in time, Reiko has tried to make the best out of life. She's really done all she can. The reward for this has been her position at work and a stable love life. Thanks to the break-up, the string that equaled stability in life snapped in one swoop. She never paid much attention to other women around her before, but she starts doing so now. She also does the same at work.
The solution she comes up with to her problem is to fall just totally head-over-heels in love and ride the "wave" of love as far as it will take her.
