I have just finished watching this Japanese drama titled "1 litre of tears" (Ichi Ritoru no Namida in Japanese). Based on a true story, the entire series is available on Youtube. For those who like sad sad dramas, this is one of them you can't miss...

"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?"

Acted by Erika Sawajiri, I'm sure she's the type of girls most guys will fall for. However, what touches me most is the never-ending care and concern from her family especially from her mum. Those who are keen, you can click on the below video for a preview.



Enjoy and prepare your tissues...
