A liter of Tears

Oh mi gosh... A liter of Tears is soooooo touching. There are soooo many crying scene, maybe that's how they got the title. I thought this was in Korean but I was wrong. After 5 episodes, I'm like this doesn't sound Korean and the wording is not very Koreanish and then realised this is in Japanese. Probly because I seldom watch J-Drama. LOL

I didn't know it was a true story about a Japanese Girl suffering from an incurable illness. Knowing this is a true story, makes it 10 times sad and touching. To think that someone had to go through something so evil and cruel like this is soooo overwhelming. And how she had to give up everything she loved, sports, friends, school, family and her love interest because of this illness.

Main actors. The main female actress playing Ayu has an ok acting style, she looks 15 to me too. She looks quite young to me. But the main male actor playing Asou doesn't look 15 to me, he looks more like 19 or 20. He's not like those male actors that capture ur attention at the first appearance. Maybe because he seldom smile in the drama. But, he slowly looks cute towards the end. The only person that smiles the most is Ayu, the girl with the disease, which is quite ironic given she's the one suffering. I guess the director wants to show people the true meaning behind this drama, the courage of the Jap girl and not concentrating on the actors or the love story.

All the facts in this drama are real and true. Dunno about the love story tho... might be added for a little spice.

And I don't get the love story in this drama. It's not like those typical Jap/Korean/Taiwanese love story style. I'm like why didn't u say "I love u"?? Why?? Why? Why not when u have the chance!! They don't hold hands or look into each others eyes or hug each other. They don't even have couple scenes. Only one, but quite crappy compared to other dramas. But that's what I loved about this drama, the love story is different!!

LOL.

I cried the whole way through. The only time I smiled or laugh is when the dad was joking around. The dad is really funny. And when Asou was fooling around with Ayu. This drama carefully and wonderfully depicts the real life of the Jap girl battling this disease. I like the starting. At one stage, I thought the disease was made up until I saw the biography of the Jap girl and googled the disease. LOL. This drama should get an award for the-best-tear-dropping drama award. Nice.
