2020 was when an outbreak of Covid-19 happened worldwide.
The new norm of social distancing has changed the ways of romance completely.
This drama deals with the new ways of romantic relations such as encounters on social media or communications with social distancing and through masks.
It also has many scenes focusing on text-based communications that are distinct for Japanese people.
The Japanese title “RemoLove”, which is short for “Remote Love”, is typical in Japanese language that tends to abbreviate loan words.
