The Hulu Original side story episode 10.5 of the Nippon TV drama A Tree That Won't Fall After 10 Cuts began streaming on June 14. Titled The Anniversary I Can't Remember, it shows a romantic day between Kim Min-seok (Jun Shison) and Momoko (Sawa Nimura) that was not part of the broadcast main story.

The mystery premise of the side story revolves around a date Min-seok remembers that Momoko does not. The anniversary is the target set for 7 p.m., when Min-seok will visit the clinic. The clinic staff review past interactions between the two to solve the puzzle. The episode features Jun Shison, Sawa Nimura, and Kyomoto Taiga, among others, with screenplay by Ruriko Matsushima and planning by Yasushi Akimoto. A PR video is now available on YouTube.
