Reminded of how great Ichi Rittoru no Namida really is...

A while back, I watched an amazing drama called Ichi Rittoru no Namida or 1 Litre of Tears as it is called in english. At first when I saw a synopsis of the drama... I was like 1L of Tears...what they hell, they just like asking for something sad and depressing. After that I showed Roberta, laughed at it and then forgot about it. Until Roberta's "shallow" facsination of Nishikido Ryo happened, a Johnny's Entertainment actor (a talent agency known for pretty boys that can't really sing or dance that do both). Then we proceeded to download this drama and watch it. It quickly became our favorite drama and to this date, no other drama has been able to surpass it for me. I even got members of my family (who are extreme japanese drama adverse) to watch it with varying degrees of interest. Watching this drama makes me want to live life :) This drama is based on a true story of a real girl with the same disease and her diary has actually been published into a book which I've read a bit of. It's really touching.

My cousin watched it and told me that he can't stop thinking about it and the main female character in the drama. He said it was so touched and he even teared up a little... maybe not 1L but close ;) Though something he said really cracked me up:
"i really need to start another drama to forget about the girl. "
