1 Litre no Namida (2005)

The story line for this drama was honestly amazing! Also very informative towards the disease. There are many dramas where they "sugar coat"it, but this drama didn't at all. Which I loved, this showed all the watchers the real struggles of this terrible disease. How it drastically changed the life of a young girl! You view the struggles, Aya goes through and it gradually increases. Also shows how it effects the family, the reaction and changes is very relatable to what any family would do.

Though I didn't cry while watching this drama it left a mark.The acting of all the cast was amazing. The family's reaction and acting were superb. The expressions of pain and sadness were so realistic!

The music matched everything perfectly especially the song in the trailer.

I would rewatch this drama with friends, it's so touching and the message sent is very inspiring. This drama has actually got me very interested to the point where i want to read the book from this drama was originally based off.The flaw I found was there were sometimes that I skipped since they seemed like fillers. Other then that I have no other negative thing to say.

I was talking with my friends and they also took pictures of themselves crying while watching this series I shared mine and they were like omg I have a picture of me watching this too. The tears on my pillow on the day I watched this were endless. You know that feeling when your crying and your through closes while your crying and you cry more because you are having trouble breathing that is the feeling I got at the end of this drama. If you are sick of weak female leads in drama or sick of the typical drama feel this drama will wash that feeling away. There is soo much to take from this one drama.
This drama is bittersweet, its very sad but that is life and to be honest this drama made me appreciate life, love, family, education, equality, hospitals more then I did before.
I found a video on you tube which led me to watch the drama version on gooddrama.net
I hear the movie version is good too haven't watched it yet but the series really captivates the story well.

Cry! It is the word that is would use to describe my experience with this drama. I cried... a lot! When a finished watching all of it, I realized that it was a mistake to watch all the episodes in a row. I had dark circles on my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, I loved it! The story is great and moving, the actors are awesome! That is probably why I cried so much, because they did such a great job.
Aya is an example of courage and perseverance, not to talk about the great family she as.
It´s definitly worth watching, it sort of makes you feel thankful for the life you have, for being healthy. But if you are a crybaby like me, go easy on the episodes. You probably should make an hour break between them! XD

Uma memória eterna gerou-se em meu coração.

Depois de assistir este título, meus minutos de vida têm mudado, minha respiração é vista por mim de uma forma diferente, e até os passos que costumava caminhar sem ao menos prestar atenção, têm se tornado algo notório.
Cada minuto deste drama me trouxe uma lição diferente, a realidade dolorosa de Aya me fez chorar duramente, a forma como a família e amigos lidam com tudo é simplesmente tão chocante e emocionante...
A forma genuína como Aya lida com sua realidade e seus últimos anos de vida foram especiais para mim.
Assistindo, me coloquei totalmente no lugar da Aya, e percebi que minha vida era exatamente como daqueles adolescentes que ela tanto invejava. É tão estranho...
Quase aos meus 15 anos, assim como Aya, eu me senti tão próxima da dor dela. Se eu de repente enfrentasse algo como ela, com certeza não teria força e determinação como ela. Cada passo que ela deu, cada sorriso mesmo onde existia dor, cada respiração e fala difícil que se esforçou para dar... Eu estava orgulhosa dela, aquilo era, pra mim, o maior símbolo de determinação que já vi.
Me identifiquei com Aya, a coisa mais preciosa na minha vida é a escrita, a verbalização de lembranças e sentimentos completamente abstratos, sinceros e intensos que só eu guardo para mim mesma. Por isso, a valorização que Aya entrega a seu diário é totalmente valiosa pra mim.
A atuação da Erika e de todo resto do elenco é completamente incrível e torna o drama ainda mais tocante e digno.
Simplesmente, melhor dorama japonês que já assisti. Não me arrependo nem um pouco de tê-lo assistido e recomendo muito!

Get your tissues ready

By far one of the saddest dramas I've ever watched. From episode one I started to cry a river and was sniffing through out the whole thing. Truly moving story that teaches you to be grateful for the little things you take advantage of in life. Warning it's a sad ending, I was hoping the doctor or Aso finds a cure for the disease but sadly not which is the reality in life. I love how its based off a real story which is so inspiring. Sadly in real life Aya did not have a Aso, he was added to the drama :(((

Actors did a great job showing what it is like to have the disease. Ost is awesome. I'll definitely rewatch this drama if I need a good cry by myself.

I never wrote a review anywhere before or ever in my entire life.
So excuse me in advance but i had to do it, this drama is just a straight uo masterpiece.

I went into this drama with a quite closed mind.
Like 5 minutes in i was already confronted with what drama this will be about.
And i knew instantly that this drama would bring me litres of tears.

This drama thought me so much.
It thought me to embrace life and stop complaining about really silly little things.
It really inspired me to be a better person.
To be the best i can be.

The acting was simply phenomenal, i believed every single word any of the cast spoke.
Everything was shot and filmed so well.
In my opinion there were no flaws other than the fact i had to cry every single episode.

I would encourage all of you to watch this drama.
Not only because of the story but mainly because of the message.

Rest in peace dear aya.. your life has inspired me so much and i hope you are in a better place now <3


Sorry if my grammar wasnt all that well.

This is my first review on any site .
This is the show that actually forced me to write a review because it's too good that I don't want others to miss.
It's a story about 15yr old girl Aya. That's all I need to say. But, mark my words you gonna feel the feels each episode. And you gonna cry like baby in some episodes. I never felt this emotional in my entire life. If you are curious, yes I have cried 1 litre.

If you're thinking about should i watch this j-drama or not, Please Watch it but make sure there are tissues by ur side while watching it ^v^
You won't regret watching it.
I finished it by watching it whole day today. . . I cried the whole day that my head n eyes hurts so much...

Ok I'm gonna leave now.

You'll be forever grateful after experiencing this story.

I'm writing this review just to give my thanks.

It's never too late to see this series, as it may be made in 2005 this will be one for generations to learn from.

As we all have heard from everyone and everywhere, value the life you were given, and live it to the fullest.
But sometimes it takes a story like this to take in that fully.

Thanks to Aya for the lessons, thanks to the team and actors who told it, and thanks to everyone that shared it.

--- To break down the points ---

The story is the main selling point of this story, but the actors were so perfectly cast, at first I was a bit unsure of the father and Aso, but the strength jdramas have is character building, which has one come to love them in the roles.

The music felt repetitive, like it forced an emotion, and I'm my opinion, it was not needed at times. The main tracks were good.

Rewatch value? I won't need to, this one like a few others will stick to me for life.
If you can handle another watch, go for it.
