ok, now that camps are really FINALLY over, i got some rest and watched some drama serials. one of which that i finished watching is titled "One Litre Of Tears". man, it's a GOOD show! seriously, apart from the fact that the actor who acts L in deathnote is in it and that the main guy is really handsome, the show is brilliant. and please, this is not a show about heartbreaking love alright, instead, it's about................................ haha. if you guys plan to watch it and don't want me to spoil the fun, don't read the following paragraph. but if you just want to see what's it about before you decide, read on!
ok, this Jdrama serial is based on a true story of a girl called Ikeuchi Aya (name in the show). the lively 15 year old excelling in her studies and sports gets accepted into a prestigeous high school. everything's going well for her be it school or love life till one day on the way to school, she falls flat on her face. the weird thing was that a normal person would naturally put out his/her hands to break the fall but Aya did not do so. her mother, Shioka, got worried and asked for a thorough check-up in the hospital. and to their dismay, Aya was suffering from spinocerebellar degeneration. this is an incurable disease that will eventually cause Aya to lose control of her body and her ability to speak. as the situation worsens, young Aya fights on together with her family, good friends that includes a guy, Asou Haruto. anyway, the story is really sad as it shows how Aya struggles to be accepted in her high school and society. furthermore, she fights hard against the disease though it worsens everyday. but what's so good about the show is the family support that Aya has. also, her optimistic view of life encourages those who are in the same situation as she is. her doctor, Mizuno sensei, was also very encouraged by Aya's will to live and worked hard to find a cure.
well, here's a clip of the show. it's Aya's class in the school choir competition.
now, here's the same song only in a different situation.
ok, that's all i'm saying. haha. so yea!! i'm very encouraged by the show. haha. it made me cry!! well, i did not cry till the 7th episode when alot of people already started shedding tears from the very beginning. haha. not bad huh? so to those who decide to watch, be sure to have a box of tissues beside you. and erm, try not to watch at night cause it's extremely addictive. if you watch at night you'd probably not get enough sleep. haha.
ok, i'll go sleep. it's late.
