GREEN-EYED VIEWThe hit homosexual drama Hiru no Yume is back, and this time on the big screen. Asami Hayama and Yuki Shirasaki are, of course, returning to their leading roles. Their on-screen love affair was the talk of the season last winter. However, most people don’t know Hayama and Shirasaki are following their characters’ example off-screen. This is a problem on set when a new cast member, Yamase, gives Shirasaki attention that stirs Hayama’s jealousy.

The young actor Yuki Shirasaki has moved in with the superstar Asami Hayama. Everything has been going well for the two of them as a couple, but work is a different matter. Nothing about Shirasaki's performance works in his new director's eyes. He's determined to work through this on his own and won't accept Hayama's help. This work anxiety is about to seep into Shirasaki and Hayama's relationship too. Because how can Hayama love Shirasaki when the superstar can't understand the newbie's struggles?

HOMECOMING OF THE HEARTHayama Asami and Shirasaki Yuki decide to visit home for a former classmate’s wedding. But Hayama hasn’t been back in years. His parents’ home just makes him uncomfortable and memories of awkward years at school come back to him. Hayama only briefly interacted with Shirasaki in school, but the young man left an impression on him.

LONGING AT LONG DISTANCEWith Hayama Asami filming a movie in the U.K., and Shirasaki Yuki starting in a TV drama, the two actors have to make their relationship work across different timezones. Shirasaki is ready for his leading role, but the director is an authoritarian bully from his past. Meanwhile, Hayama has to play the hardest role of his career...depicting his novelist father. Hopefully, their support for each other can cross the distance between continents!
