How it feels

A young woman named Yuki lost her brother years ago when he died saving a boy from thugs. She and her father have since resented the boy who ran away. After studying in America, she returns to Japan at age 20 for an arranged marriage, but secretly hopes to find the person who wrote to her, the man named Junpei Akagi.

What happens

『二十歳の約束』(はたちのやくそく)は、1992年10月12日~12月21日まで毎週月曜日21時00分~21時54分にフジテレビ系列(月曜9時枠の連続ドラマ)にて放映されたテレビドラマ。 幼少期に母を亡くしてから、父と兄と暮らして来た高井夕希。しかし、その兄が不良に絡まれていた少年を救助した事により死亡。夕希は父と共に、現場から逃げ去った少年への憎悪を抱き続けて来た。高校卒業後、アメリカの大学へ留学した夕希の元に「藤村旭」という人物から手紙が届く様になる。そして二十歳となった夕希は、親戚の北条道子から持ちかけられた見合いの為、2週間ほど帰国する事となった。しかし夕希の本心は見合いではなく、藤村旭こと赤木純平を捜し出す事であった・・・。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
