Our take
The wheels of fate won’t stop turning for Tsuji and Ukiyo, the star-crossed lovers at the heart of this cosmically-charged tale of love and missed connections. Playing in its original cut, this ten-episode miniseries is Japanese auteur Kôji Fukada’s magnum opus: a romantic comedy unlike any other.
