When We First Met – A Heart-Touching Love Story That Will Melt Your Soul
Romance | Fantasy | Drama | Coming-of-Age
Emotional, dreamy, bittersweet, soft magic realism (like Your Name, A Silent Voice, or Violet Evergarden vibes)
In the quiet town of Hanabira, where time seems to move slower than the rest of the world, 17-year-old Yuna Akiyama, a reserved girl with a passion for writing letters she never sends, discovers an old mailbox hidden in the forest near her home.
Legend says it grants the deepest desires of the heart — but only to those who write with complete honesty.
One day, she writes a heartfelt letter about her loneliness, loss, and longing for someone who truly understands her… and places it in the mysterious box.
The next morning, she finds a letter in return — from a boy named Ren, who claims he lives in the same town, but in a different time.
As they exchange letters through the enchanted mailbox, Yuna and Ren form a deep emotional bond. Their letters become their safe place — sharing dreams, fears, love, and everything in between.
But as their connection deepens, they begin to question the impossible:
Age: 17
Shy, artistic, introspective
Writes stories and letters she never sends
Struggles with grief after losing her mother
Believes in fate, but doesn’t believe it’s on her side
Age: 18 (but from 1998)
Adventurous, poetic, kind-hearted
Loves sketching and music
Feels stuck in a world that doesn’t understand him
Hiding a painful secret that links him to Yuna’s past
Longing & connection
Emotional healing
Time and memory
First love
Soulmate energy across timelines
The magic of words and silence
Yuna finds the mailbox and sends her first letter.
The letters begin arriving from Ren — thoughtful, mysterious, personal.
Yuna comes out of her shell, starts feeling alive again.
They start falling for each other.
Yuna starts investigating Ren’s world and realizes it’s not the present day.
Clues emerge that their lives might be connected more than they realize.
Yuna discovers that Ren lived over 20 years ago and died tragically in an accident.
Devastated, she tries to stop writing — but the mailbox still delivers.
A final chance emerges: one last letter could change everything.
Bittersweet: Yuna chooses to let go, keeping Ren’s memory alive in her writing.
Magical: Time bends — she meets a reincarnated Ren in the present.
Open-ended: She receives one last letter — “I’ll find you, someday.”
“Whispers of the Heart” symbolizes the quiet, often unspoken feelings we carry — and how love doesn’t always need loud declarations to be real. It’s about how two souls can connect deeply, even across time.
