1 litre of tears..

Juz as i thought that i've finished all the sad sad movies. I downloaded another jap drama from DC++. It's called <1 Litre of Tears>. It's actually a true story which is written in a form of diary. This diary has sold 18,000,000 copies so far and touches many people around the world(mostly in Japan i think, haha).

15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler. However, odd things have been happening to Aya lately. She has been falling down often and walks strange. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?


This drama is by far the most touching one i've ever watched. For those who often go for movie with me should know that i hardly ever cry for movies, but this time, tears just can't stop rolling down throughout this 11 episodes of heart-touching drama. And there's one part where i actually have to stand up and stop myself cuz it's getting so sad that i couldn't stand it. Damn. Didn't know i can get so emo with a movie.

Another must-watch for those who like dramas which potrays real life incidents. Watching this 11 episodes, i can certainly feel the love of Aya's family and friends swarming through the atmosphere. And the courage Aya shown struggling through this 10 years of illness surely made me re-evaluate my own life and purpose of living.

And another reason that makes this drama a must-watch for guys is because it features a really pretty-n-kawaii-type chick--->Erika Sawajiri!!!

Ps: Sammy, when i'm back, will give you this drama, u sure cry gao gao watching it. very touching!!

Ps:To all currently in UTP, anyone of you have the soundtrack for this drama? I like the one they always play when the guy n gal talks. A bit like Jap-style Lifehouse. haha.. Very nice.. Pls give me a copy if u happen to have k? Thanks in advance.
