Cherry Blossoms After Winter

Synopsis

Despite growing up together, these childhood friends have grown apart. Seo Hae-Bom was seven years old when his parents died in an accident. With nowhere else to go, he moves in with the family of his childhood friend Jo Tae-Sung, who suddenly grows cold and distant, destroying their friendship. Now it’s their senior year of high school and, after years of barely speaking to each other, Hae-Bom and Tae-Sung are in the same class for the first time. Hae-Bom struggles to make friends and is plagued by bullying, but after the handsome and popular Tae-Sung fends off his most persistent bully, everything changes—they sit together at lunch and begin to act like friends again. Hae-Bom is unsure what to make of the shift, but this could be his last chance to mend their relationship. (Source: Inklore, edited) Note: After season two the series is rated R19.
