thank u for the ost. i love this drama even though it's very sad. i don't know why, even though i know i'm going to cry, but this drama kept me watching it. before i watched, i thought it would like all the other school drama, but this one is very different.

its so obvious its a copy .. no one could realli think of a fiction that similar .. i dont believe them at all

this is one of the saddest series ive ever seen! every episoide i ended up with a whole bin of tissues. i love it soooo much!!!!
does anyone have the songs from this movie that they could upload??? really like them

after watching the series, i truly understand why it's called 'one litre of tears'.. very inspirational and motivating

i just started watching this series...soo sad...feel so sorry for the girl...didnt really cry in the first 2 episodes...the 3rd one i started getting tears lol so im pretty sure i'll start crying soon lol
such a sad story..and to think it happened in real life...the story has such a meaningful storyline

o.O it's a J-dorama? omo.. i kept thinking it's a tw drama when i see it on screen >.<'' sounds sad and interesting... shall go check it out on Youtube^^.. and gawd.. Indonesia copied it? what the 93)#(*@)(#@! At least give credits and copyright dammit.. Coincidence? Don't seem like it. They are probably spinning their own stories to make them not guilty.

yeh people dnt expect it...but after the whole series u really have cried a litre of tears

I finished watching "1 Litre of Tears" in 2 days and I have to say that it lived up to its name. I really was crying buckets especially towards the end. The most innocent question by Aya that would make me cry, for example, Mother, will I ever get married? I cried when she first asked her mom and also later on when Asou read her diary. This show is very motivational and inspirational. It inspires me to do things now and stop keeping putting thing off. It also opens my eyes to something that I did not know about such as the condition of spinocerebellar degeneration. For example, when the medical trainee talked to Aya and thought that she was slow. Before, I think I would think the same thing and might simplify or slow down my speech but I see that it is more of an insult.

Regarding Buku Harian Nayla, the plagiarism of a fictional plot is already consider bad but to copycat a true story is just 10x worst. It feels like they are mocking Aya's story in a way. The similarity are so obvious that pretty much they just took the story change a few names and tweak the plot a little to fit the background culture of the story. The producers should be ashame of themselves. Lets say even though I really doubt this was an original fiction of any sort, this was written by someone else they should have did a little research on it and notice the similarity. I mean "1 Litre of Tears" was release a whole year before this one.

All these great comments have made me want to go out and find this drama and watch it! Thanks for the heads up!

i JUST finished watching this series.
hm yes 2 years after it aired ^^;

oh well it was DEFINITELY WORTH WATCHING!!

at first my friend said it was REALLY sad..and i guess i just wasnt in the mood of watching any tear-jerker series..also didnt like erika that much.

but after watching taiyou no uta.
i think that erika is really pretty and a GREAT actress.

so i went bk to watch this series.

man i have to say i cried ALOT while watching this super touching series.
just watching aya day-by-day taking on the pain..was very heart breaking!!!

ALSO ryo was REALLY cute..
and i think he did an awesome job as asou-kun.

currently in LOVE with the 3 songs from this drama!!!!
ALL 3 of them are SOOO goood!!

tihs is a REALLY touching drama and it has taught me alot!!!
made me realize how lucky i was compared to all those people out in the world!!!!

definitely ONE of my favs!!!!

and yes im prob another watcher..that cried 1 litre of tears for aya~

and wow im soo surprised they just copied it like that.
i mean to me.
itz EXACTLY the same..

man how dissapointing
they shud do something about that..

yeh i definitely didnt regret watching.
its one of the best dramas ive ever seen.
haha and yeh ryo was really cute in
and i loved the lead female. she's so pretty and really convincing in her role

this is the saddest korean drama i ever watched, i cried so much.

Sawajiri Erika's character was so brave and strong dealing with her sickness.

Ryo was so hot and caring in this movie ;].

DEFINITELY WORTH WATCHING!

yea its definitely worth watching...i cried so much too...
even my friends had this swollen eyes for two days hahah!

erika's character is so brave...that girl really fight for her life...
and ryo's char is also good...Asou-kun really cares for her much

and the scene that really made me cry is when Ako fight for her
sister....and Asou-kun's reading Aya-s diary in the hospital
with tears...OMG!

ya there were SOO Many REALLY touching scenes that id prob never forget in the series!!

just watching aya suffer all that.
yet she was STILL so strong and was able to live on~

not to mention the lovely support of the IKEUCHI family + asou-kun!!!

didnt like ako-chan at first.
thought she was soo snobby and annoying.
but after she knew about her sisters disease she was SOO Nice =)

she looks kinda old for her age.
in real life i tihnk shez the same age as hiroto!!

ahh that boy was SOO Cute.

as for rika-chan..i liked little rika better.

the older rika wasnt as cute but then i guess after 5 years she has to change...


aww missing this series ALREADY!!!

STILL listening to the 3 songs!! itz TOO OGOOOD!

>.< I just finished the series like an hour ago. Omg my eyes are still puffy!!!

This by far one of the BEST dramas I've wactehd so far. Big tear jerker too I cried like a baby throughout the last two episodes. I cried a couple of times through the series too, it literally makes yu cry 1 Litre of Tears. I had a tissue box on my lap watching it, my trash can was getting full tooo.

Erika and Ryo did a awesome job in this series!!! Erika was always in her character and it was just so PERFECT. It was hard for me to watch her struggle episode by episode and I remember when she left school I cried so badly there too. She was just so determinated, so strong at the same time she strguggled staying strong, yet she will not back down. Ryo also did a fatastically amamzing job in here! He acted so real and when he cried I cried with him. It was just so REAL. It showed his aarogance yet his gentle and shy side. They had great chemistry. I loved it when the dad would mess with Asuo-kun. XDDD

Even though it was really super duper uber sad there were still some hilarious parts. Mostly the dad, Ako and Ryo. What a bitter-sweet sereis. >.<

I fell in love with the family too! All of them really cared for Aya and really supported her all the way until the end. Ako - even though she was a bit bratty at first she really grew on me, when she was yelling a Hiro before his game i cried it was emotional. I liked the little sister when she was younger though. =) She was just so adorable!

Ooo, the doctor was good too. THey showed his frustrations and how he worked so hard to try to find a cure even though he hadn't succeeded.

THere were so many great scenes tooh! When she left school and Ryo and her classmates sang for her, when Ryo was reading her diary, when she broke up with him in her letter, then the happier ones like when her dad and Ryo are together, the little date in the aquarium, the doggie scenes (boy that dog grew fast) and pissy ones like when Aya walked in when her classmates were talking smack about her but I found it sweet that Ryo was the only one who stood up for her and ran after her tooh.

I'm typing alot so I guess I'll stop here. Overall FANASTICAL SERIES!!! REally teaches you to enjoy life. =) I'll reccomend this to anyone.

GOSH this is such a sad drama
i cried while watching esp the part when aya gave asou-kun her letter
there are many touching scenes and i cant stop cryin

just finished the last 3 episodes of one litre of tears and omg it was soo sad!! i was like fully crying and my eyes started to get sore...so sad that day by day, ayas disease gets worser and worser...and she decided to break up wif asou kun *sniff* omg soo sadd!!! this is probably one of the most saddest jap drama ive seen...and its based on a true story as well...i dunno wat im saying but this drama has really touched me! so sad!!!
asou kun didnt even care how aya is...he supported her all the way...its so sweet of him to care for her like that...so touching...everything is just so tragic! aya managed to be like that for 10 whole yrs wifout giving up even though she faceed so music difficulties...a brave girl *sniff*

I don't know if this has already posted but oh well..

From Sanspo News:

1 litre of tears special would be shown on 5th of April.
The story is takes place half a year after Aya's death and it's mainly about her sister and her friend Aso. There will be new scenes about Aya before her death so Erica Sawajiri will be in it too.

further info from what I've heard:
it's a 3 hour special Ryo should be having quite a big role in it it's mainly about him and Aya's sister trying to encourage a girl not to give up on life

one of the most touching series i've ever watched. The scenes and the background music enhances the sad mood in the movie

I know.. it's so sad ='( And she was so strong for holding on for that long.... She inspired a lot of people... =)



Omg.. srsly?! I really want to watch it! Hopefully someone will upload to youtube or crunchyroll.. Wonder if it'll leave me teary-eyed too....

Yesss!!! A special! Altho its a bit late and I'm guessing most of the chractors would have grown some bit. Can't wait! April 5th... so like 2 more weeks?

Truly the most inspiring dorama ever watched based on real story. Loved the fact I cried more than 1L of Tears not cos it's sad but cos it's so moving. Ryo's love for her was so divine eventho that element was fictional. Definitely a must watch if you only ever wana watch 1 j-dorama.

i regret watching this drama... i cried too much for it~
my eyes are all swollen and i feel depressive~~~~ damn sad story
yeah 1 litre of tears... I CRIED FOR THIS MOVIE! LOL

very good tho~ ppl who likes sad drama should def. watch diz

OMG..this is the saddest drama ever...VERY touching and moving.. xDD I think that the main char AYA did a very good job playing that part.. T_____T ''

Hay guys, on April 5th there's a sequel of 1 litre of tears airing in Japan on 9.00pm. The story takes place after half a yr after Aya's death. Does anyone know the title of this series? I really do want to watch it!

isn't it only a movie..? XD
won't it stay "1 liter of tear"..? XD

---

Does anyone know if she could have decide to be euthanasia?...
sry.. i'm not really good in english.. especially asking this... XD

omg...i love this drama!! it's the first time i've cried so hard! i cired like a baby lol O_O. really sad. ryo and erika were such good actors in it!

omg ryo is REALLY REALLY cute!!!!

Currently watching the series. It's amazing; I love it so far.

Erika has so much screen presence. She's a beautiful actress and she has tons of charisma.

And Ryo, lol. I was a fan of his before watching this, but he's really amazing here, too. So dark and handsome!! I love his eyes.

This is a really good drama so far. Sad as hell, but very touching and really well-done. I'll come back and edit this post or post again when I'm done watching it all.

crunchster: wow.. thks alot.. by the way, no one had upload it right? as i was finding yestersday.. but i still can't find it.. think they are busying subtitles.. haha..

yeh they both handled their roles really well and made it very convincing...
erika can just about make u cry in every scene she's in.

happiness winds, there is a torrent of the full episode available...I know someone has split it up in to quads and uploaded it via megaupload...but I don't remember where it was.

I'm pretty sure Kioku was going to sub it, so I want to wait for that.

*crying* I love this drama, its really really touching....made me think totally differently about life now....well kind of NEway.

I've watched it in japenese and it was sooo sad....i had to read eng subs though as i dont understand jap but then i got the canto version and i cried in that too......i think i must have cried in every episode...like even when she fell down and hit her chin i cried....its sooo upsetting. I think this is such a good drama, although it was upsetting it had alot of morals in it and what aya wrote was really amazing, she was a very unique person...

*sniff sniff*

Is seen to don’t have a thread for the SP, so I start this thread.
So glad that is have the SP. And glad to see Ryo and Erika again in SP. Even though their scenes is mostly Ryo flashback but is have some scenes that not in the drama.

Hope everyone will enjoy

*It's not yet subbed, so don't complain if you can't understand it yet!

Just finished watching it a few hours ago. It's amazing. Just...there are no words.

It's one of the best dramas I've watched so far. I really loved this line from the drama: "Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing." A truly touching story; I had a good cry in almost every episode. It's so amazing to see Aya's courage, omg.

Acted to PERFECTION. Erika was amazing as Aya and really conveyed her strength, her doubts, and her struggle to continue living. Ryo...needs to get more dramas. I thought he was AMAZING in this; good chemistry with Erika, brooding and always in character, and he also cries really well. Supporting cast - the family, her friends, the doctor were also very good.

I have watched the special just now i was really looking forward to it but unfortunately it wasnt very good..most of it was just clips from the episodes ,sure you get to see ryo in uniform but it was quite repetitive for me (watching the scenes over and over again)

icesmiler123: oh my god!!! u watched that? with subs or? well, i have found it but it's not in subs.. haiz.. think i have to continue searching again..
if anyone had the special with subs, please post up the links.. arigatou!!!

oh there is an 3 hour special of this series? I didn't know, guess I have to wait until the subbed version comes out But I doubt it will add any value to the original great series...

I'm a massive fan of this series!! I love movies and series that make me cry so i totally fell in love with this series. It definitely tops the list as a great tear-jerker.

The pairing of Ryo and Erika was very good. Their relationship was subtle but sorta sweet and romantic at the same time and although there wasn't much affection, it still breaks you heart when they can't be together. They didn't let a lovey-dovey storyline take over the real message that they are trying to get across to the audience, which is excellent i thought.

Everyone did an excellent job in the series!!! They were excellently casted and there was no "bad actor" in the series that stood out to me! I loved the girl that played Ako (is her name Riko?). I know she's extremely young, but she's so much more mature than her real age and she brought alot of emotional moments in the series. (Especially when she was telling off Hiroki for being ashamed of Aya!)

I just didn't totally love the ending. I really wanted to see Haruto and what happened to him over those 5 years. Did he become a doctor? But I thought the overall story was super!! Aya is SO VERY PRETTY! She's got caucasian blood in her so we know where those distinct eyes come from!!

this is my first japanese drama (althou i've seen jap movies b4) and i'm currently on ep 5...very touching and heartbreaking...but somehow whenever i feel like crying watching this drama i tend to keep it back...unlike the other ones which i usually let it out...i heard that there's one episode which will let the viewers cry the entire time...dunno how much tissue i'll have 2 prepare 4 that....anyways a must watch!!!

i am such a bloody fan of this drama, i just finished watching it and i cried so much! this drama, is probably the best i have seen in a LONG time and it was based on a true story!

very touching, the only bad thing was that i skipped episode 9 and 10 because it didn't load...but i will definatly try it again! i love this...and the main actor and actress in it make such a cute couple!

very handsome and pretty in real life as well!!!
