The newest reality TV show on the block is Netflix’s ‘The Future Diary’. The show revolves around two strangers meeting each other for the first time and leading a romantic life through a diary in which a rough script is written on how things will move ahead in their semi-fictionalized lives.

The diary would have little instructions which would tell them how to face several situations as they spend their days together. During the first meeting, they sit inside a restaurant and introduce each other and that’s when they receive another diary in which they get to know what they need to do next.
However, there’s a catch and that’s something that girl, Maai, needs to do.

As soon as the episode moves forward, they get to their first date but they are already told they will be facing a problem and they would have to team up to solve it. As soon as they sat down, they get to know that the chefs haven’t boarded the cruise and if there’s a chef on the cruise then he would need to help them make food. The guy, Takuto, is a chef and helps the cruise staff in making food and feeding 12 people. That’s the first instance where we get to see them working together and share some special moments.

The next day, Maai is told to go to Takuto’s birthplace Hokkaido and the guy needs to show him around to have a better relationship. But Maai is given a task a few moments later and she needs to hold his hand while walking. But the biggest thing they need to do is to kiss each other in a blooming field of sunflowers. Maai is really shocked to learn that and is nervous. However, when they reach the field, we see that the sunflower field is not blooming yet and they would need to come there again in August.

Now that Maai accepts that her feelings for Takuto are getting stronger, Maai gets to know that she can’t tell him about her feelings till the journey ends and that’s absolutely killing her. The couple is allowed to use mobiles while they are together, but they are not allowed to contact each other as soon as they reach home.

Will Maai be able to control her feelings about Takuto? Or she’ll just let it out. On the other hand, Takuto likes her as well, but he’s a bit shy to express his feelings. So, it seems, Takuto would need to be the first one to tell her about his feelings. But the problem is, Mia cannot even reply to him back because she has been told to do so.

Things are getting really interesting now and we cannot wait for what will happen as their journey moves forward.

‘The Future Diary’ returns to Netflix with a new episode every week on Netflix.
