I usually watch K-Dramas, not Japanese ones, but I've heard of this drama a long time ago and I decided to take a look at it and I think they should put a warning for it : Extremely sad and heartbreaking. But it also changes our lives.
Seriously, I've watched several Korean dramas, which I cried a lot. However, this one just blows me away ! After watching this drama, you change your perspective of the values in life. Suddenly, our problems seem so far away. You can't help but feel for the characters. At the end of each episode, tears start to drop immediately. They showed Aya's pics, how she fought the disease during the years. And the OST is amazing.
There are SO MANY memorable moments. Even the most cold person you know might start crying (or shed a tear). So young but so much strenght. It was terribly sad when she discovered the illness, but that was only the beginning, there's still so much more to see. It is a great drama. 1 litre of tears is GOLD. It shows the love of a family (Ah, God ! a honorable mention to her dad, mom, sisters and brother, they were so great !).
Actually, I love Ryo's character a lot, but it's a shame he didn't exist
As much as I love the main couple, I was more attached to the Ikeuchi family than the others (hey, let's not forget Aya). I got all teary everytime I see her sister or parents. Her illness might devasted them, but it also gives them the chance to bring the good in eveyone.
Ah hell, here are my list of fav moments, I might forget some.
- When Ako gave her speech to his brother about how amazing is Aya and that she sewed his name on his shirt.
- When Haruto starts to sing for her, then came along the whole class.
- When Aya tried to call her mom, but couldn't dial in the hospital.
- Haruto saying he likes her, maybe, probably.
- Aya speech to the whole class, saying that she will be attending to another school from now on.
- When Aya bought a gift to everybody at Christmas.
- When they took the last picture.
You know what ? All I have to tell you is WATCH THIS ! It so worth your time, you sure won't regret it. At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to finish the series, because it was too depressing, but after a while, I was so curious about what was going to happen, I couldn't resist. So don't be afraid and enjoy it !
