The library company, which was in charge of production, has signed a copyright agreement with large Japanese publishing group Kadokawa for the performance of the original novel of the same name and has been preparing for the stage. The original novel was officially published in 2020 and was loved by the 10s and 20s by a loving love story that stimulates tear glands, leading to film production. The 2022 film of the same name proved its popularity by winning the `Fan's Best Picture' award at the 35th 'Nikkan Sports Film Awards'.
In Korea, it was published in 2021 and sold more than 100,000 copies in three months, ranking No. 1 in foreign novels in the second half of the year. Since then, 240 copies have been issued so far, making more than 500,000 copies sold. Since its release in Korea in 2022, the film has also attracted 1.21 million viewers, continuing the original's box office success.

'Oseisa' depicts what Doru, who came to make a false confession to help a bullied friend, begins a fake relationship with Maori, who suffers from predisposition amnesia, whose memory of the previous day disappears when he wakes up. On top of that, the moments of memories accumulated by friends, including best friend Izumi, who knows Maori's memory problems and stays by her side, and the production that allows the audience to experience Maori's memory loss for a while will act as a dynamic factor for works without provocative events and will be a charm point that can only be felt in musicals.

The addition of actor Yoon So-ho, who has been constantly loved for appearing in musicals 'Dorian Gray', 'Matahari' and 'Marie Antoinette' adds to the expectation. Actor Kim In-sung, who is building up filmography with musicals 'Emil', 'Darwin Young's Origins of Evil' and 'Red Book', is also with him.
Jang Min-je and Solbin played the role of Hino Maori, who suffered from a prior amnesia due to the accident, but feels happy every day with a small hope 'boyfriend'. Actor Jang Min-je, who was acclaimed for his outstanding singing and acting skills and won the 「6th Korea Musical Awards Rookie of the Year」 in his debut year, plays the lovely and bright Maori Hino. Actor Solbin, a former member of girl group La Boom and loved through various activities such as dramas and MCs, will also participate as Hino Maori. Solvin, who challenged the musical for the first time, will express his character's charm with his lovely tone and unique bright and cheerful personality. In addition, actors Oh Yoo-min, Na Hyun-young, Shin Eun-chong, Jung Ji-woo, Lim Ki-hong, and Kim Tae-han will perform enthusiastically.
The adaptation will include Hwang Jeong-eun, who has been adapted from the Towoljeongtong Theater 'Hamlet' and the play 'Bath Village Diary', and Sanghoon Lee composer, who is the music director of tvN 's Wise Doctor Life' and 'Reply Series', and Lee Dae-woong, who was nominated for the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards Young Theater.
Hwang Jung-eun talked about the adaptation point, saying, `I want to make a work that is a story of adolescents, but that everyone who has experienced love and loss can enjoy together.' `I hope the audience can move on from the relationship and loss that the two characters have, and yet take the power of love and memory that makes them live tomorrow.' The Sanghoon Lee composer thought that the musical language that could best represent the emotions of the adolescent characters was 'pop' after encountering the original work."I want to tell the story of young people, including love, through the musical language of pop, which is detailed and well-represented in the public.
