this is my favorite j-drama, and that won’t change. i cried way more than a freaking litre of tears watching this. i cried, like, a gallon. erika did a really good job as aya, and the actress who played the mother was perfect. i also love narumi riko (ako, the sister) and she was amazing—she was only TWELVE when she filmed this. ryo gets a lot of shit because “he didn’t really exsist” in real life, but i don’t think that matters. his character represented how aya’s disease affected the people around her, outside of her family. and he was also fantastic.

i think this drama can change your life, it changed mine.i always bitched about small things, but after watching this, i tried not to. i still try not to, everyday. aya had it so much harder than i did, and she only complained like 1/4 as much as i did. and i have nothing to complain about compared to her. i try to be more self-less, and “live on/to the fullest,” after seeing this drama.

this drama is based on a true story, and there is a 100% chance that you are going to cry when you watch this. this is such a great drama, with such a great message that is well conveyed: live on, until you no longer can.
